From coaSt-to-coast during the
early months of the year, business
leaders were concerned, but opti-
mistic that the full year would
see pickup. They were certainly
right.
AS the year went into its first
few months. retail sales fell over
most of the Nation from the 1851
scare-buying level. Many prices
were reduced. Some manufacture
ing was cut back.
Statesmen really got out and
sold, which was quite a change
from the order-taking of postwar
years.
Business Improves.
But at midyear the tide turned.
Business got better all along the
line and the boom rolled on to the
end of the year in the usual pat
tern of tidal-wave records that
have marked the postwar years.
A steel strike, an abortive coal
strike, Korean peace rumors
hardly rippled the rush of the
economy. The election Of Gen.
Eisenhower as President was
hailed by business generally as
meaning better climate for in
dustry.
The stock market went up. Some
said it was an Eisenhower market.
There was no question but that
business and industry regarded the
Eisenhower victory as a stin,ulant.
The coming months will determine
how right that feeling is.
What about 1858?
Government economists gen.
era lily see the new year as another
year of good business. Some pri-
vate economists are not so hopeful.
Readjustment Predicted.
DR.. Marcus Nader, consulting
economist to the Hanover Bank
Of New York, sees a readjustment
IN the business pattern next year
similar to those occurring in No
vember, 1948. and in August, 1949.
He emphasizes. however, that a
"pessismistic view Of the future
is not warranted"
He said management should
prepare itself for increased COM
petition" and the internal organi-
rational changes required to meet
this condition"
Murray Shields, vice president
and economist of the Bank of the
Manhattan Co., New York, said
while prospects are good for the
next few months, 1--WE dare not
rule out of all consideration the
possibility of a depression severe
enough to justify careful planning
and programming."
He said he based that conclusion
on intense imitation, rapidly
rising debt, maladjustment here
and abroad and other unsettling
factors"
Putnam Confident.
However, Roger L. Putnam.
Government economic stabilizer
during the last year. asserted
"it's hard for me to see a re-
cession within the next year and
q half"
There is no economic reason
for a recession" he said. There
could be psychological reason:

1t is reported that some corn
is already infested. Damage
starts first in small grain
where the worms hatch and
feed on lower leaves first.
They feed at night and hide
under clods and trash by day.
Look for them if lower leaves
of wheat or rye are eaten.
Greatest damage will come to
corn joining wheat. They march
out of ripening wheat or grass
land to adjoining corn. The loss
mounts rapidly each day.
They are small worms, dark
brown in color and vary in size
from one-half to one and half
inches long. What they lack in
size, they usually make up for
in number.
Army worms do not bother
legumes or vegetables other
than corn. Those that survive by
the end of June will be killed
by parasitic insects. Not enough
will survive to bother later in
the summer.
However, the following form
ulas have been found success
full: Poisoned bran mash bait
scattered broadcast; or by spray
ing with toxaphene emulsion as
soon as worms are noticed feed
ing on the corn. ToXaphene dos
age is one and three-fourths to
two pounds of actual toXaphene
per acre. This mean about three
pints of 500 emulsion concen-
trate in whatever water it takes
to cover one acre. Consider DOT
only as a poor substitute for
toxaphene and BIC is not good
at all for this.
