a costly and unfair bookkeeping

a costly and unfair bookkeeping problem.
 As an illustration, Dahl said his firm since July 1 has purchased 10000 gallons of motor fuel for its boats. The law sets out that each gallon of fuel used for boats shall be taxed at the rate of three cents, but that the tax monies are refund able to- the payer
 For the 10000 gallons of fuel, Dahl said his firm paid $1,20O in taxes. In addition, the Petersburg city sales tax of SPA was paid, which constitutes taxation upon taxation, Dahl said. He said SIP in interest fees also added to the cost of paying the tax and securing the refund.
 A 5O-cent application fee to se- cure the refund made a grand total of $96.50 flor less than two months in order that you (Terri- tory) may use our money"
 Dahl declared There is. of course, nothing we can do at the present time except consider this money put down the drain.''
 We assume the main idea of taxing everyone and making the fishermen apply for the refund is that many of the ultimate consum- CTS will either lose their receipts oof which they have the only re- cord), will not be fully aware of the new tax being charged them, or simply will not bother to app1v.'' he asserted.

Farm Real Estate
Goes Up 5 Percent

Farm real estate value in Del
aware rose five percent during the
past year despite a drop of five
percent in farm prices.
This apparently means that farm
ers still consider farm values rea-
sonable, says DR.. r. o. Bausman,
chairman of the department of ag-
ricultural economics at the Uni
versity of Delaware.
This seems TO be especially true
with out-of-state buyers who find
Delaware farm real estate values
reasonable in comparison with
values in other states," DR.. Baus-
man points out. "A relatively large
number of out-of-state farmers
have purchased land in northern
Kent County and in southern New
Castle County"
For the United States as a whole.
farm real estate values have in
creased two percent and farm
prices have dropped four percent.
The largest change in farm real
estate values during the past year
was in the corn belt where the in
crease averaged about six percent.

tors lowering the level of cOllec.
tions in relation to sales. In addi-
tion, there is some evidence of ris-
ing delinquencies. This does not
seem to have become a real prob
| .em as yet.
Collection ratios are holding VI
well in other parts of the district
The fact that repayment periods
have not been heightened so much
outside of the Philadelphia area is
probably a reason for the differ
ence.
Some lenders dealing in automo-
bile paper notice a slowly growing
volume of delinquencies. This is
particularly true in the Philadel-
phia area; however, none of the
lenders indicated that delinquen-
cies had reached a critical level.
Relative to the increased volume
of lending, delinquencies and re-
possessions have not increased" "
we were told by one lender.
Collection reports on automobile
installment paper outside Philadel-
phia vary sharply. In some areas,
reports are excellent-much better
than a year ago. In others, collec-
tions are slow, with plenty of kick
backs. Reports tend to vary di-
rectly with employment In areas
where employment is off from a
year ago, collections are slowing
up. Where employment is up, col
lections are running smoothly.
Collections on appliance paper
are very good in all parts of the
district. A Philadelphia bankers
reply is typical for the city. He
said, COLLECTIONS are very good on
appliances. We had a shake-down
year or so ago and Strengthened
out some accounts. The delinquen-
cy picture is the best ever on ap-
pliances." A Bethlehem appliance
dealer said: "Delinquencies and re-
possessions are about as low as
they could be"
There appear to be two principal
reasons for the favorable reports
on collections of appliance paper
One was given in the quote from
the Philadelphia banker. Many
banks "shook down. their appli-
ance paper a year or so ago. The
second reason is that the appliance
store business is pretty slow right
now. so there is not much pressure
on lenders for speed. Lenders can
appraise the prospective borrowers
more carefully. Appliance dealers
mention discount houses and the
increasing volume of appliances 60
ing directly to builders on new op-
erations as two causes for the slow
ing of store sales.
An Overall Impression
A year ago at this time, INSTALL
ment lenders were not being push
ed to write paper" AS result,
they investigated credit risks more
adequately and were generally
more selective This tended to make
installment credit harder to come
by twelve months ago than it is
today.
made installment terms more lib
eral in all sections of the District.
rs might be expected, down pay
ments tend to be a little smaller
and maturities somewhat longer in
the Philadelphia area than in other
sections. The easing of terms has
occurred even though general mon
etary policy is becoming somewhat
less eXpansionary.
Milford chronicle., 1955-06-17

The largest decline in farm values
was in the south eastern and north
western states where the drop aver
aged about two percent.
One of the reasons for the pur-
chases of land in Delaware and in
other states is to increase the size
of farms. Many farms are too small
to justify the heavy investment in
machinery which farmers find
necessary. They are also too small
to enable farmers to maximize
efficiency. 1t is probable that this
type of demand can be expected to
have a bolstering effect on the level
of land prices for some time.

SOybeans And
Sorghum Good
Corn Substitute

If you're looking around for g
good substitute crop for corn silage
how about trying soybeans anC
sorghum? This crop is one of the
best substitutes for corn silage
says Frank B. Springer of the ag-
ronomy department at the Univer-
sity of Delaware. He claims many
farmers are looking for a crop OF
this type.
Right now, the middle of June
is the ideal time to seed soybeans
and sorghum, Springer adds. Plant
ing now will give good yield. The
yield may be 10 to Is percent less
than corn silage, but the nutrient
value is about equal.
There are a number of varieties
of both soybeans and sorghums
adapted to Delaware conditions.
Hay type varieties of soybeans such
as Wilson give best yields but such
yellow seeded varieties as Lincoln
and Ogden are satisfactory.
Hegari sorghum is probably the
best for Delaware conditions. This
variety will grow to feet tall.
On very fertile soils shorter varie-
ties such as Martin, Plainsman, or
Wheatland may be advisable. At
any rate, stick to one of the above
named varieties. Do not ask for
amber cane. Beware of mixed
sorghum.
Several methods of seeding are
satisfactory. Generally the soy
beans and sorghum seed are mixed
together and seeded with a grain
drill. Sometimes the sorghum will
settle TO the bottom of the box and
give uneven seeding. This can be
corrected by dampening the seed
slightly and mixing thoroughly be
fore it is put into the box.
The seeding rate per acre is III
bushels of soybeans thoroughly
mixed with 20 to 25 pounds of
sorghum.
A liberal application of fertilizer
is desirable. 400 to 500 lbs. per acre
of 5-10-10 fertilizer will give ex-
cellent results. The fertilizer should
not be drilled with the seed because
Of danger of injury to the germina-
tion of the soybean seed
The soybean sorghum mixture
should be harvested for silage just
before the seed gets fully ripe and
before the stalks get tough and
woody. A field forage harvester
with cutter bar attachment is the
most satisfactory method of har-
vesting. Good silage can be made
without a preser7ative If there is
at least 40 percent sorghum in. thu
mixture. However, many farmers
feel that the use of pounds of So
dunn metabisulphite per ton give
them a much better silage.

Reports On siCurrent Trends"

Business activity is bouncing

To some, it is strange paradox

The fact is that in any year good

In other words, debts do tend to
rise faster as business gets better.
You have only to read newspaper
advertisements to get the feeling
that the recent rise in consumer
debt has been accompanied-som
would say stimulated-b easier
credit terms. OF course, in con-
sumner credit easier terms mean
lower down payments and longer
maturities-not necessarily lower
interest charges.
Pressure on Terms Strongest
In Philadelphia
There are. however, some differ
ences in terms being offered
throughout this Federal Reserve
District. A spot check indicates
that as general rule lenders in
and around Philadelphia are under
the most pressure to make their
terms more lenient. One lender in
Philadelphia told us: "Installment
volume is rising at fast clip. This
increases pressure for speed in
writing loans There is steady pres
sure for easier terms. Everybody
seems to be taking a share of the
.6-month automobile paper that is
around"
Those who are holding the line
on terms feel that they are losing
business in the process. For ex-
ample. Philadelphia banker had
this to say: "We are being hard
pressed to give easier terms but
we are resisting with very few ex-
ceptions. Our volume of consumer
credit could be much higher if we
would upgrade some credit risks"
Outside the Philadelphia area
here is pressure too. In most sec
lions, easier terms are the order of
the day. But the changes do not
seem quite so large. For example,
4 Williamsport lender said: There
is not much tinkering with down
payments in this area; but 30
month automobile paper has be-
come common over the past few
months" From a Reading banker
we heard that: Automobile deal
ers want speed above all else and
that leave little chance for proper
credit investigation"
Collections Seem to be Holding Ep
Easier. terms bring to mind the
subject of collections. The collec
ion ratios for Philadelphia de-
partment stores in 1855 are notice
ably below a year ago. Outside OF
Philadelphia, the collection ratio is
running about the same as in 1854
1t is difficult to ascertain all the
causes of the lag in collections in
Philadelphia. A rapidly increasing
volume of installment sales coupled
with somewhat smaller monthly re-
payments resulting from leng-
thening of terms are probably fac
