Last Scheduled Basketball Contest Sees Foes Set For Hot Competition

The first game of the evening will be at 7:30 when the Polar Hornets tangle with the Partners. The second game will see the Mer- chants playing the North Stars. Both, teams should be at their top and determined to win as this is the last regularly scheduled league game.
 The Polars mad the Merchants will both be determined to win, for a loss for either team will lose them the right to be called champions" of the league. At the present the two teams are tied for first place. In case of a tie or if both teams should win to- nights games, there will be a playoff at a later date with the team winning two out of three games the league tops"

COlOring Evergreens
Probably Okay Later

If your evergreens are turning
brown or yellow now, they'll prob
ably be okay later on, says DR..
John w. Heuberger, extension
plant pathologist at the University
of Delaware.
This is the so-called winter in
jury of evergreens caused by the
plants losing more water through
their leaves than the roots can alb
sorb from the frozen ground. DR..
Heuberger points out that this is
particularly true when warm, dry
ing winds are blowing and the
ground is frozen.
The condition will likely brown
narrow-leaved pines, spruces, and
frs. Rhododendron, laurel, and
holly leaf tips and margins might
turn yellow or scorch.
Generally the condition does not
seriously injure well-cared for
trees. When the flush of new
growth begins this spring, the
Drowned needles or the yellowed
or scorched leaves will fall to the
ground, and the trees will regain
their natural beauty.
If this doesn't happen, the ex-
tension plant pathologist says
something else must be wrong
with the possibly lack of
fertilizer, mouse injury. mechani-
cal injury, plant disease, or insects.
He cautions against fertliizing
trees until you're sure that the
soil is low in fertility. Over-fer-
tilizing might increase the injury.

Garlic In Pastures
Controlled By Sraying

Every year, many gallons of milk
are sent back from the milk plant
to the farmers because of the gar
lie odor. This represents a very
real loss of income. The odor is
caused by the cattle grazing pas
lures which are infested with wild
garlic. The wild garlic plant re-
produces by a small onion-like
bulb. This bulb terminates in the
fall or early winter and is quite
common in pastures throughout
the county. However, it can be con-
trolled and completely eliminated
from pastures. Many dairy farmers
in Sussex County have reported
wonderful success with the follow
ing method:
Apply in very early March, one
pound of 2,4-D acid equivalent
ester formulation per acre to the
pasture with weed sprayer. This
first years application will elm
mate most of the garlic, but the
spray will need to be repeated the
second and perhaps the third year
TO eliminate all of it. This spray
has been used very successfully on
Ladino grass pasture mixtures
without any appreciable damage to
the stand of clover aud grass. 1t
is necessary, however, that the
spray be applied in early March to
avoid damage to the clover. If it
is not applied until late March or
early April, the clover may be
seriously damaged and the amount
of pasture available to the ami
mails greatly reduced.
Dairymen are warned that such
an application of 2,4-D will kill
red clover, lespedeza and alfalfa
and the spray should not be used
on rotation pastures where these
legumes are the main source of
grazing for the animals.

VANISHING FARMS

COLUMBUS. Ohio = up - In

but larger farms, says H. r. Moore,
Ohio State University professor of
agriculture and economics.
Moore says a study of census
records shows a decided drop in
the number of farms since the end
of World War III.
In Ohio, according to Moore, the
number of farms dropped by $4,000
to III, 900 between 1916 and 1854.
In the same period, the average
farm size increased from 10 to 113
acres.

Stacking Off in Productivity Climb
Figures in Concern Over Initiation

Productivity is not easy to meas
ure and the raw information for
calculating 1t is slow to become
available. The Labor Department
productivity figures for the past
three years presented by Mr.. Clague
are preliminary. What Mr.. Clague
reported was an annual increase of
about 3 per cent in 1854 and 1855,
or slightly above the postwar aver
age; but almost no change in 1856.
BY way Of reinsurance Mr.. Clague
points out that:
According to the preliminary indi-
cotors. the low rate Of increase in 1856
was preceded by yeor or more Of more
thon overose gain. Moreover, the high
capitol investment Of 1856 and prior
years in outomotion and other forms of
advanced technology could pay off in
1857 in the form Of significantly higher
productivity"
Productivity is relatively easy to
Measure in manufacturing and
mining, simply by dividing output
by man-hourS. The data referred
to above, however, apply not only
to manufacturing. but to all nom
agricultural production. The pro-
ductivity Of a school teacher or
Government employe. for example,
is not so easy to measure.
At least 100000 workers will get
wage increases of 3 to per cent
this year as a result of 1855 and
1856 wage agreements. These
workers are found in almost every
industry. but mainly in metalwork-
ing, construction, transportation,
food and mining.
About half of them will get 6
cents to cents more per hour.
Moreover, the escalator clause
affects the income of nearly 4
million workers. Employers of some
10 million other workers may have
a hard time holding down demands
for similar increases when this

RETREAT TO PRIVACY
Pessimism Surrounds New u. N. Arms Talks

AS in every previous Assembly
for the past. II years. the United
States and Russia put forward new
resolutions on disarmament.
A five-point American plan called
for ban on outer-space weapons,
prohibition of future ynuclear pro-
duction under international con-
troll reduction of armed personnel
by the big powers, registration Of
future nuclear tests and an inspec-
ton system to provide against sur
prise attack.
The main Soviet proposals called
for an immediate halt to nuclear
bomb tests, a special Assembly ses-
sion on disarmament. and a dis
armament conference outside the
U. N. framework.
However, as far as agreement on
the basic isSueS-the ways and
means by which global disarma-
ment would be carried out-there
seemed little In these proposals to
indicate an area for real accord.
In this respect, the current As
sembly has done little more than
add to the dreary statistics on the
millions Of words, hundreds Of
meetings and scores Of resolutions
which have gone into the 11-year
effort of the United Nations to
achieve disarmament.
The Bosic Issues
These are the fundamental issues
Of disarmament which have so far
defied solution in the United
Nations:
"A control system-Both sides
agree on the need for a control
system. However. Russia claims
that the Western plan goes beyond
control and becomes management.
The West says that Russia's plan
is too vague and fails to provide
the necessary safeguards to make
disarmament more than just a
propaganda slogan.

BY HERBERT BRATTER

one unpublicized econ o m c
danger signal which figures in adj
ministration concern over imitation
was disclosed last week by Evan
Clague. Commissioner of Labor
Statistics. 1t is the apparent slack
ing of in the rise Of the national
rate Of productivity-that is, prod
uction per man per hour-at a time
when wages are rising.
Mr.. Clague, in testimony at hear
ings of Congress Joint Economic
Committee on the Presidents Eco
nomic Report, presented Labor De-
partment estimates indicating that
while non-farm productivity rose
markedly in 1854 and 1855, there
was almost no change in 1856. What
makes this fact important is that
millions of workers this year will
receive substantial wage increases
as a result of contracts negotiated
last year on the basis of the high
productivity in 1855.
In addition to these contractual
deferred increases" millions Of
WOI hC1C WILL lCCCltC wage
hikes under "escalator clauses"
These contract provisions cause
wages to go up if the cost Of living
rises-and it now is rising.
Productivity Could Absorb
Higher wage costs to employers
may be absorbed If in 1857 produc-
tivity resumes the growth it showed
in 1854 and 1855. but not in 1856.
If. however, the bigger payrolls have
to be absorbed in some other way,
there are only two alternatives:
Higher prices. meaning more price
imitation: or narrower profit mar
gins for business. which could cause
a drop on the stock market and in
business confidence. Should price
increases be imposed and encoun-
ter public resistance, less goods will
be sold. This also will cut into
profits and tend to cause lavoffs.
Thus it is clear that much hinges
on what happens to productivity
this year.

LONG4RANGE IMPORTANCE
Soil Banks Trees Benefit Former and Civ DweIIer

covering of trees, however, gives
the failing water the opportunity
to seep into the ground, feeding
creeks. springs and wells slowly
and steadily. This. of course. not
only prevents floods but also assures
the city dweller of an ample supply
of water in July as we'll as in April.
The problem is not actually scar
city, but distribution. for the earth's
atmosphere and soil hold the same
amount of moisture today as 10000
years ago.
To Help Southeast
Even more important than the
startling total of 5 billion trees to be
planted on rs million acres, is the
fact that about go per cent of the
planting will be done in 10 States
in the Southeastern United States.
1t is in these States that the ero-
sion problem is greatest. Lands for
merry devoted to a dubious farm
economy will be turned into wood
lands that will return profits to
farmers within Is years and at the
same time combat the scourge of
erosion.
The program will be beneficial to
the whole Southeast by encourage
ing more industrial development,
increasing not only badly needed
lumber resources, but also the raw
material supply of paper mills,
which have become the South's
biggest industry.
The program is certain to make
itself felt in the economy of the
Great Plains, and the West in gen.
eral. Here. much of the soil bank
tree planting will be put into shell
terbelts. long rows of trees that
break the wind: check the blowing
OF topsoil; reduce snowdrift, flood
and erosion; delay evaporation, and
protect crops and livestock from
soaring summer winds and freezing
winter blasts. In accomplishing
this, much of the hazards of farm
ing will be reduced in an area
where the forces of nature make
agriculture an even greater long
shot gamble than in other places.
And everywhere the trees will
provide food and shelter for wild
life and cool, clear water for rec
reational purposes.

ties. trade and construction.
If last years productivity is the
deciding factor. the workers in the
latter group of industries as a whole
won't be getting too big a hike.
But if it is a question of keeping
up with the Joneses" the
Reuthers and others-there will be
different outcome. Last year
some 100000 steel workers got a
1857 deferred increase of 81 cents
an hour. They received a 3 cent in
crease last month for cost of liv-
ing and may get another in July.
Under their pact they cannot lose
more than 8 cents. For all practi-
cal purpose. their escalator goes
only upstairs.
Other Increases
Similarly, more than 100000
meatpackers got in 1856 a pact pro-
viding a 7l2 cent hike this year
plus escalator benefits, which in
January came to 2 cents. The auto
and farm equipment workers in
1856 obtained to Z cents for 1857,
plus a quarterly escalator, on a
pattern set by Ford. 1t is arrange
ments such as these, emulated by
industry after industry. that give
rise to the wage-price spiral. So
long as their products can be mar.
keteo at higher prices, manufac-
turers and others are willing to
concede to the unions demands.
Frequently management shows q
disposition to come to a quick
agreement with union representa-
tives. to minimize interruption to
business while new pacts are being
negotis ted. Hence President Eisen-
hower's recent appeal to both sides
to exercise restraint.
If self-restraint is not forth
coming, the alternative to more in
f1ation is, as he told his press con.
ference on Wednesday, Govern
ment controls. The administration
knows well that unless there is an
increasO in productivity this year
We are in for trouble.
