WASHINGTON, D. Cts a bad
time to be Secretary of Agriculture
of these United States, by anybody's
standards. BY those of Ezra Taft
Benson, it is an even worse time.
While the new USDA boss
talks of less government and
more se1f-reliance. circumstances
force him 10 act as though he
didn't believe a word he was
saying. Yet. he does believe what
he says. of CONSEQUENTLY 10
a degree that few others do.
Benson still means to practice
what he breaches, farmers and Con-
greSs willing, but he now realizes it
may be while before he has that
chance. Circumstances are forcing
immediate or early use of farm laws
now on the books that Benson would
like to change. Actions he takes
probably will mean imposition of
federal controls over farm opera
tons and increases in federal agri-
cultural spending, both eventualities
that Benson deplores.
But there is little that he or any,
one else can do about it very soon.
The outlook for farm prices is not
too favorable, due to conditions that
few would want to change if they
could be changed. These include the
apparently improved outlook for
peace and the prospect that U. S. pro-
ducers once more will turn out rec
ord or near-record quantities of food
stuffs and fibers.
Peace and plenty are devoutly to
be hoped for, but, at the same time,
progress toward both achievements
is sure to mean some painful eco
nomic adjustments.

many years. Benson estimates
that losses will be in the neigh
borhood of $1H billion. an in
crease of about one-half billion
over the guess of ex-SecretarY
Brannano
Such losses would considerably
more than wipe out the $3.50 million
in savings on regular USDA opera

upon appropriation committees of
the Congress. Most troublesome
Surplus" to date is butter, more than
$50 million pounds of it now in gov

AS department buying to keep up
dairy prices went on at great rate

ing into the flush season. Output
from now until June will be on the

Root Knot Nematodes

Root knot nematodes, which

by a "clean fallow" technique.
This method of completely clear

Crittenden revealed the results Of
this test at the Peninsula Horticul-

Chemical Weed Control
Successful on Vegetables

The Battle of Weeds" in 1854
viii be fought with tractor cultiva-
ton and chemicals, reports E. M.
Dahn, associate research horticul-
turist at the University of Della
ware. =.
Rain, speaking at the annual
meeting of the Peninsula Horticul-
tural Society this week (Dec. 10)
in Salisbury, Md, said that more
and more vegetable growers are
turning to chemicals to replace ex-
pensive hand boeing.
Chemical weed control can now
be used successfully on an extens-
i've scale with several of our major
vegetable crops. However, Rain
cautions growers the chemical
method should be tried on small
scale at first. 1t is important to
know how these "high-powered"
chemicals work and what equip
ment is needed to apply them
properly.
Recommendation must be fol-
lowed to the letter. If too much
chemical is applied, crop plants
may be killed or stunted if too
little. you won't control the weeds.
To get the right amount of
chemical per acre, Rain stresses
three most important details
speed of the tractor, the right
nozzle tips and the pressure. When
wettable powders or oil-water
emulsions are used, agitation is an
additional important factor, es-
specially since many weed spray
ers fail to provide adequate agita-
ton.
Many growers spray a band of
chemical over the crop row only,
thus saving cost OF chemicals ana
hauling of water.
Different chemicals have been
found good for weed control on
important vegetable crops of this
state, such as lima and snap beans,
vine crops, peas, asparagus, sweet
corn, potatoes and Strawberries.
Specific recommendations on
chemical weed control for Della
ware conditions are contained in

Moreover, clean fallow and
