Federal Reserve Bank Tells Of
"MOlecuIes On The Delaware"

ties in the Wilmington area are
the manufacture of vuleanized fiber
products, braided rubber hose, pa
per-making machinery, automO-
biles, iron and steel, vegetable
canning, and shipbuilding. Chemi-
Gals, however, are predominant and
this industry got started at the
dawn Of the nineteenth century
with little mill making powder
on the banks of the Brandywine.
Black powder led to dynamite and
to nitrOcelIulose (fOr smOkeless
powder), and the cellulose needed
for nitrocellulose led to rayOn and
cellophane and dyes and pigments
and insecticides and X-ray films
and plastics, and hundreds of other
chemicals.
The chemical industry. which
thrives on molecules, is autO-cat-
alytic. In their efforts to improve
a product or to create a new one
or to turn some useless or low
valued by-product into more use
full materials, chemists are forever
opening up new markets with new
products.
The best prospects for the Viii
mington industrial area, according
to the Business Review, lie in its
molecule business. One reason II
is so difffcult to define the chemica
industry is because it is really nC
/ industry at all-it is what Ponce
de Leon was looking for, a pOten

take he made was looking for it il

Summer And Dry

Dairymen Make Plans

Delaware dairymen can usually ex-
pect six weeks of dry weather in
July and August that slow down or
stop growth of permanent pas
lures. Now is the time to make pro-
visions for that midsummer graz
ing weak spot, suggests VIM. H.
Henderson, county agricultural
Bgent.
MIR. Henderson recommends a
supplemental pasture of Sudan
grass, with one acre for each three
of four cows. Seed Sudan at rs lbs.
per acre, being careful not to COW
CT the seed more than three
fOurths of an inch. An application
of 500 lbs. per acre of 5-10-5 will
insure vigorous growth. Don't
Craze the Sudan before it is Is
inches high. or after frost, to avoid
Prussic acid poisoning.
Many farmers in Sussex County
are finding that they can use the
same field they put Sudan in foi
late fall and early spring extra
grazing by planting rye. They pillow
the Sudan about September /, anC
seed rye at 2 to 212 bushels pei
acre. The rye is ready for grazing
the first part of October, just wher
cool weather stops permanent pas
ture growth. 1t gives several week'
of fall grazing and can be uset
again the next March.
1t is too late to do much abou
extra grazing for this spring, MI
Henderson says, but you can still

"a higher price level accounts

or by finding fault with the

win an election is bit difficult
to understand, especially if there
is taken into consideration the
historic record of the American
people in holding the admins
tration in power to strict &C
countability irrespective Of the
nominees on the opposite ticket.
In elections. almost without ex-
ception, the people have voted
against an administration guilty
Of bad faith with the people,
without worrying too much about
the capacity of the successor
from the opposite party to do a
better job.
From a strictly political stra-
tegy viewpoint. the Democrats
have been making q mistake.
Their cue was to insist that
Nixon be given q fair hearing,
to restate their contention that
every man is innocent until
proved guilty, and to repeat that
no man should be accused of
wrongdoing till there is some
proof Of it. Instead the so-called
liberals" were among the first
to charge guilt by association"
and to imply that a contribution
accepted from businessmen or
persons with business interests
to a political fund incriminates
the recipient-as if this didn't
also. theoretically at least, in
criminate every Democrat who
ever put himself under obliga-
ton by accepting large cam
paign contributions.
To argue that other Senators
or Representatives had similar
funds set up for them to cover
their expenses does not convict
or exonerate Senator Nixon.
The only question at issue is
whether he was bribed or influ-
enced by the gifts to his political
fund. Anyone who charges him
with that crime and cannot
prove it is himself guilty Of a
libel.

Most Politicians Want California Senator Retained

With the notable exception
Of the candidates for President,
politicians are discussing the

This Is guesswork even when
done by q national chairman.
What Is interesting is that
most Republican politicoes want
the Senator from California
retained on the ticket and so
do most Democrats.
It thus appears that Repub-
licans attach the greater risk
to upsetting the ticket now. It
may also be that they do not
wish to encourage Gen. Eisen-
hover, whom they do not know
well anyway, to be one Of those
strong, individualistic Presidents
the Democrats have so long had
to put up with.
