N&AN
ECONOMIC FOUNDATION

In our immediate concerns about foreign
policy, the Israeli-Arab conflict and the Els
enhower Doctrine for the Middle East, it
remains most important that we keep our
eyes sharply focused on economic conditions
at home. The basis for any constructive for
eign policy and for the very defense of the
United States itself is the health of Ameri-
can economy.
Also, a program of constructive foreign
aid can only be accepted if the line of pros
perity is held in this country. And finally, it
should not be forgotten that in the first years
of the cold war, Russian policy seems to have
been based on, among other premises, the as
sumption that there would be depression in
the United States. With every sign of weak
ness in American economy, we can expect the
Russians to press us more strongly.
It is far too soon to cry gloom. But with
the rising price index and with expressions
of concern, even from the administration, it
is not too soon to be prepared, and to remain
most attentive to economic trends. The solid
rock of all constructive action abroad and of
the diplomatic and military defense of this
country is the American economic appa-
ratuS. This is obvious
But obvious or not, it must be watched
and guarded and with this, the high stand
ard of living of the American people must be
equally guarded.

The DCIA Seed
CertificatiOn Program
By Frank B. Springer
Assistant Extension AgrOnomist
University of Delaware

This year as in years past, the
subject of producing seed for GER
tification comes up. Immediately
we hear the question, what is the
purpose of seed certification?
Seed certification in Delaware is
a voluntary service maintained and
controlled by farmers. The pur-
pose of certification is to enc2ur-
age farmers to produce better
crop seed of high yielding adapted
varieties. Its success depends to
a large extent upon the coopera-
tion and interest of the farmers.
A producer should feel reHpon-
sibIe for the seed produced aud
sold by him, and he must conform
with the statement on the tag at
tached to the bag in which the
seed is sold. In other words, the
growers certify their own seed
with the assistance of their assOci-
alton.
Seed Inspections
Each crop in the certiflcation
program must be field inspected
and after harvested, bin inspected.
These inspections are made by
representative of the seed certifi-
cation committee of the Delaware
Crop Improvement Association.
This committee consists of the ex-
ecutive committee of the DCIA, the
extension agronomist with the Del
aware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, and the seed analysist of the
20 nf crrsap
Two classes of seed are recog-
nized. The great bulk of seed pro-
duced by farmer seed growers that
is inspected by the committee is
included in the certification class.
Producers of seed in this class
should be interested in it from its
crop producing value. rather than
from a seed production standpoint.
The other recognized class of
seed is foundation seed which must
be under the direct control of the
original breeder a delegated rep
resentative of a state seed improve
ment association, or a state or fed
eral experiment station.
Application Dates
Growers who wish to enter the
certification program must make
application to the Seed Certifcation
Committee, Delaware Crop I'm
provement Association, Box $50,
Newark-or contact your county
agricultural agent Applications
must reach the committee not la
ter than the following dates: win
ter oats, wheat, and rye-June /
barley, May Is; and soybeans. Sep
tember l.
Applications should be made as
early as possible. Those arriving
later than the deadline date may
not be included for seed inspec-
ton.
The use of certified seed in Del
aware has increased greatly. and
the production of certified seed is
on the increase. In 1856. Delaware
farmers produced II acres OF GER
titled oats. 80 acres of barley, 81
acres of rye. 1872 acres of sOybeans,
rs acres of wheat, and IS acres OF
hybrid corn
The yield from these acres was
only a small amount of the actual
certified seed used by Delaware
farmers in 1856. Good certified
seed can be grown in Delaware.
and the demand for certified seed Is
ever increasing.

so early made less sense as the day

Shellhouse were scheduled to be
at the Municipal Airport by eight
for a flight destined for Delaware.
The boys were going to pick up a
plane at the factory for a local
Piper dealer and then fly to Sus-
sex County for a couple of days
with their respective families.
We were at the airport ahead of
schedule and ordered a cup of cof-
fee feeling all the time we drank it
we probably wouldn't have time to
finish it. The Piper dealer had
business to attend to before the
fight could get under way ard at
1880 and cups of coffee later
left Hayes at the airport and head
ed home to our two daughters to
attend to their lunch.
Before l left Hayes we had
checked on the weather, since by

MAY

May, which probably derives its name
from Maia, the mother of Mercury, is the
last Spring month. 1t is particularly pleas
ant month in the United States, and most
countries, and signifies the end of school for
millions of students.
The belief that May is an unlucky month
for marriage is a hangover from the old
Roman belief that the good goddess Fauna
was a prophetic divinity, who revealed her
val of the goddess was celebrated in May
Also, the festival of the unhappy dead was
also celebrated in that month. The month
was not supposed to be lucky for marriages
because of these two festivals
Probably then, June became a popular
month for marriages, since it followed May
and since marriages postponed probably took
place the following month, or in June. Like
wise, May Day-observed on the first day of
May-traceS back to the days of the Romans
and to the annual FlOralia. Floralia took its
name from Flora, the goddess of flowers. 1t
is thought that the Greeks might have OBJ
served the day even earlier, but it is gen.
orally acknowledged that the Romans, who
occupied Great Britain for four or five cen
turies, introduced the festival in that coun-
try.
One theory holds that May Day festivals
originated in India and Egypt, and this the
ory is supported by the use of the May Pole,
which is said to be phaillic symbol.
The AnglO-Saxons called May Thrimilce,
because in that month the cows could be
MIXED three times day again. In ali coun-
tries, for many centuries, it seems that May
has been a welcome month, since it brings
flowers and warm weather and an end to the
lingering danger of bitter cold which is al
ways present in April.

Raymond Moley, in one of his Newsweek
columns, deals with the proposal that the
government embark on an all-out "crash"
program of atomic electric development, at
a huge cost to the taxpayers.
Mr.. Moley quotes Chairman Strauss of
the Atomic Electric Commission as saying
'"The forces Of traditional American free
enterprise are moving forward on a broad
front" Then Mr.. Moley details what is go
ing on. He says that at least Fl American
firms are building or have orders to build SO
reactors for civilian purposes. Some will
go to private buyers, some to the govern
ment, some for export. In addition, Ameri-
can firms are carrying out ambitious plans
for uranium ore processing mills, nuclear
fuel element manufacturing plants, and
other necessary facilities. We have become
the leading uranium producing nation in the
world Where, nine years ago, 80 per cent
of our uranium came from overseas, now go
per cent originate in North America.
Mr.. Moley concludes: with this bright
prospect of a new industry competitive and
privately operated, with hundreds of mil
lions of investment and countless jobs, it is
a poor time to impose the paralyzing grip of
government monopoly" Everyone who
wants to see this country lead the world in
atomic development for peacetime purposes
and see that done in the most efficient and
least wasteful manner-will say Amen to

Rezoning Bid Deod|ine
Faced by County Council

The Montgomery County
Council has until Thursday tc
show why it should not accept
an application from the town
Iof Somerset for rezoning of an
industrial tract outside the town
limits.
Somerset has filed a manda-
mus action in Circuit Court to
compel the council to accept the
application and to hear argu-
Iments on the proposed residen-
Itial rezoning.
The council early last month
refused to accept the towns ap-
plication on advice of County
Attorney Charles M. Irelan. Mr.
Irelan said the town did not
qualify as a governmental agency
on rezonings outside its boun-
diaries.
The law permits governmental
agencies to file rezoning applica-
lions but restricts applications
otherwise to those persons or
corporations that have a finan-
cial or contractual interest in
the property.
The council refused, by a 4 to
2 vote, to accept that interpreta-
ton OF the law.
Somerset filed the rezoning
bid to block construction of a
warehouse on the borders of the
