The tentative steps taken by
the Eisenhower administra-
ton to ease up on it's hard
money program has smoothed
out a few of the tense lines in
builders faces this week, and
has even brought a bit of cheer
to the middlemen in the mort
gage-money field.
But mortgage money today
at CT and FILA rates is just
abouS as tight as it has ever
been since the end of World
War II, if not a bit tighter.
And the prospect of the sit
uation being improved, though
more hopeful. doesn't include
any expectation of much

BY that time, the current

IF things had kept up like
they were going then, we really
would have a worse problem
today than we do have, bad as
it is. The question that the
primary money sources have in
their minds now is, Does the
administration really intend to
slow up in its hard-money
program, or is this just a tenn

to help Israel attain economic
stability. ''The time has come to
concentrate all practical work on
this central task" he stated. Mr..
G. Zakiff, emissary from Israel,
also spoke. An announcement was
made at the gathering that the

In answer to Mrs. K. j.

quested a Christmas cake she
heard of on the TV, 1 am
sending her the following
recipe that sounds as if it
might be the one she wants:
To make one loaf: 3 we'll
beaten eggs, l cup granulated
sugar, y cups sifted flour, "
teaspoons baking powder, "a
teaspoon salt, u pound choco-
late bits or cut-up SemiSweet
chocolate, 2 cups coarsely
chopped pecans or walnutS, l
cup coarsely cut dates, l cup
halved candied cherries. To
make this chip and cherry
cake, beat eggs and sugar to-
gether, Sift dry ingredients.
Add chocolate, nuts, dates and
cherries to flour, then fold in
the egg-Sugar mixture. Pour
in oiled, waxed, paper-lined
loaf pan, about 9x5x3 inches.
Bake in 325-degree oven. After
baking 112 hours to crusty
brown, remove and cool on
rack. Trim and wrap.
1 hope this is the recipe she
was looking for. I cut it from
a Sunday newspaper several
years ago and have used it
many times.

be satisfactory for even her car

I have several accumulated
requests which have been
haunting me for months. Do
hope some one of the readers
can help me out.
In helping my mother and
dad clean our old home in
preparation for sale we found
an old head set from a radio
crystal set which my sister
and I would listen to when we
were youngsters. After hunt
ing for two days I could not
find the crystal set. My g.
year-old boy is absolutely fas-
cinated with the head set and
even took it to school. What I
would like to know is it pos
sible to buy a crystal set to
operate with the head set, or
can it be rigged up, or would
a set be too weak, too power
full. etc.
Also in the same cleaning
process we found some lovely
china. luster ware lamps, etc.
How can I have the lamp re-
paired? The frame is wood
with four glass panels in the
shade. Zone panel is out) l
would like to have this for the
recreation room since I do
have to separate our three
youngsters when homework is
the job at hand.
Also, I have some handmade
baskets which I intend to use
in the recreation room for
pretzels and potato chips. I
have scrubbed them, but I
wonder if I should put on oil
shellac or varnish to preserve
and brighten them.
: Last, but not least. can any
one of you readers tell me
where I can find a child's cap
tain chair for my 6-year-old.
We have a tradition in our
family that each child has a
chair of his own. and when
they leave home, they take the
chair for their youngsters.
Would prefer to have the chair
in maple or pine.

the method was installed. On
the basis of his observations,
he predicts that soilleSS cul-
ture may prove valuable in
the future in some islands
and in countries where soil is
poor and rainfall low.
Its development in the
United States probably will be
confined to production of
crops with a relatively high
unit value-ornamentalS, out
of-seaSOn vegetables and
seedlings for transplanting,"
DR.. Stuart says.
Under favorable condi-
tions, yields may be expected
to equal or surpaSs similar
yields in soil, but so far the
differences have not been out
standing" he explains, adding
that any plant that grows in
soil should develop in soilless
culture, provided the correct
nutrients are supplied.
After experiments in other
parts of the country, the
method was started in l941
at Beltsville with cultivation
of vegetables. Since the war,
soillesS culture has been used
there only for f1owers-roses,
carnations, aZaleas, stocks,
gladioluses, stocks and lilies.
Ninety-two concrete beds of
various sizes, totaling 6,251
square feet, are devoted to
the studies at Beltsville. Ver-
miculite, a soft accordion like
ore mined in the Western
United States, is used in many
beds. Nutrient solutions are
pumped from open concrete
tanks beneath the beds. In
this Subirrigation process,
the liquid drains back into
the tanks. A similar process
is used to supply nutrients to
plants grown in river gravel,

duction is placed in two

CNAPDRAGONS flourish in
~ a bed of river gravel.
Lilies mature to their full
beauty in ore that is also
widely used for insulation in
building construction. Other
flowers bloom in crooks of
white sand transported from
the Maryland shore.
These feats of cultivation
are regarded as routine nutri-
tional studies in soilless cul-
ture at the Department of
Agriculture'S Bureau of Plant
Industry at Beltsville.
DR.. Neil w. Stuart, who su-
pervises the intricate task of
raising plants in sand, pebbles
and ore at the research CEN
ter, frequently stresses in
conversation and agricultural
publications that growing
plants without soil is not for
those who dream of getting
rich overnight"
I'VE experiment in this cul-
ture to study how plants as
simulate various nutrients
and to better observe the in
cidence and expression of
plant diseases" he explains.
The commercial value of
SoilleSS culture is limited be-
cause of the expense of con-
structing concrete beds for
plants, the cost of nutrients
and the skilled labor neces-
sary for raising vegetables
and ornamentals in special
lied conditions.
However, a number of gar
dens in Florida are finding
this method profitable to grow
vegetables for the luxury
trade, and the armed forces
have found it valuable for
producing tomatoes, cucum-
berS and salad green's in ia
pam" DR.. Stuart reports.
He adds that the Air Force
started Soilless culture in the
Pacific islands in 1945. The
same year DR.. Stuart made a
tour of several islands where

the top, with drainage at the
bottom. Compressed air dis
places the nutrient solution
from f1ve-gallon bottles be-
meath the beds to supply
water and nutrients to plants
grown in sand.
Though construction costs
more for the pebble and ore
beds, these are considered
more satisfactory for COM
mercial use than sand. The
latter is watered from the top
and absorbs a great amount
of liquids.
DR.. Stuart referred to water
culture, a widely publicized
method that has been used
at other places. In this type
of hydroponics, plants are
grown with roots suspended
in a nutrient solution con-
tanned in shallow tanks.
They are supported above the
water by wire netting or hard
ware cloth to exclude light
from the solution.
THE need for aerating the
solution and the difficulty of
supporting the plants are
great disadvantages, so that
we have not tested water
. culture at Beltsville," he ex-
plains.
Summing up some of the
findings on his soilless culture
tests, the agricultural scien-
tiSt says:
Planting, growing and har-
vesting are essentially the
same as in soil culture. Both
crops are affected by weather.
Both must be protected from
insects and diseases. Soilless
culture requires greater care
in application of insecticides
to prevent accumulation of
toxic reSidues in the roots. In
short, there is little difference
in whether nutrients are
spoon-fed to the plants in a
greenhouse or absorbed in
the traditional method of
soil culture"

SOCIAL SECURITY TAX RATE GOES UP JANUARY 1

The social security tax rate for persons whose work counts toward old-age and survivors in surance is scheduled to increase on the first of January, James G. Browne, manager of the Juneau social security office, reminded employers and employees today.
 This scheduled increase in tax contribution is in accordance with the 1850 amendments to the social security law, and was en- acted by Congress in anticipa tion of future obligations of the program.
 Employees in jobs covered by the law will have ? per cent in stead of the present 1I2 per cent deducted from their pay begin ming with the first of January up to earnings of $3600 a year; their employers will contribute an equal amount.
 The new rates will apply to all taxable wages paid after Decem Der, 31, 1853, regardless of when earned.
