u. 5. Bank Sets
" Loan Rate

A third Federal Reserve Dis
trict - st. Louis - announced
yesterday a raise in its discount
rate to ~ per cent, the highest
level in two decades.
The action, approved here by
the Federal Reserve Board.
boosted the rate Of interest at
which the Federal Reserve Bank
win lend to member banks in the
st. Louis Reserve District to the
level previously adopted by the
Cleveland and Atlanta Federal
Reserve Banks.
The other nine Reserve Banks
are lending at 2 per cent, a min
irnum adopted early this month
when the rate prevailing across
the Nation was boosted from IA
by II Of the II Reserve Banks.
The Federal Reserve Board
has left explanation of the ex-
|ceptionally high rates adopted
by some Of the banks to the
banks themselves. maintaining
that the new rates were adopted
to meet local conditions.
The general rise from the
previously prevailing ia per
cent signaled a switch by the
reserve system from q policy Of
relatively easy credit to one Of
restraint. As the business boom
picked up speed, increases in
borrowing stirred alarm that in
fiationary pressures might be
building up.
The discount rate acts as a
brake on lending. Federal Re-
serve System member banks can
borrow funds from the reserve
system with which to expand
their own commercial lending.
If borrowing at the reserve
banks is cheap, member banks
tend to borrow more and their
own lending rates remain at
relatively low levels.
When reserve banks shift
their lending rate upward, some
borrowing by member banks is
HALTED. In other cases an in
crease in the reserve bank dis
count rate spurs borrowing
members to raise the interest at
which they lend commercially.

FeOnlcS are budding
The peony bushes are full of

water them with a water soluble
fertilizer. If you want to have
choice bloom for indoor display
cut the blossoms before they are
fully open. Put them in deep
cold water and let them open
over period of four or five days.
They will stay fresh much longer
and the colorS will be enhanced.
Grouping Glads
Gladiolas look better if planted
in groups than as individual
plants. The easiest way, of
course. is to plant them in rows
in the vegetable garden, but in
groups of 10 or SO in the middle

much more effective.
Pinching for Specimens
If you wish large, long

will be fewer blossoms but finer
ones.

Early paintings of root crops,
carrots. beets, parsnips should be
thinned. If done when the soil
is moist. the remaining plants
will not be injured.
Cultivate frequently now. 1t is
easier to remove weeds when
they are small. Be sure to culti-
vate shallowly so as not to injure
the roots Of the plants you wish
to save.
How to Tie Tomatoes
In stalking tomatoes tie q
strong cord or strip Of cloth
firmly to the stake and loosely
around the stem of the plant.
More than one tie will be neces-
sary as the plants grow.
AS tomatoes grow, remove the
small side branches that develop
in the axis of the leaves. Tie
UP only one or two main stems.
They will produce less fruit, but
Of better size and quality.
MughO Pines
Prune mugho pines just as the
new growth is starting.
Shade? These Like It
Some good flowers for a shady
spot include the plumy bleeding
heart, columbine, forget-me-not,
plantain lily. Browallia and be-
gonias.
Clip Faded Iris Blooms
Cut iris blossoms as soon as
they fade. 1t will make the f1ow-
er border more attractive and be
better for the plant.
Tie Up Tall Perennials
Tie up lilies and all tallgrow-
ing perennials as they grow.
Divide Aster Clumps
Divide large clumps of hardy
asters. Be sure to stake the tall
growing ones. The hardy aster
sows itself freely. 1t is well to
watch for it in the border and
pull up the numerous seedlings
while they are small.
