Before
Tight
Money

The Nations home build
ers were more optimistic
about their 1859 production
in May than they were last
December.
That is one of the findings
Of the first 1859 survey of the
Builders Economic Council
of the National Association
of Home Builders. 1t is the
seventh in a series the Bee
has been conducting since
1916.
However, NAHB notes, the
May survey was made before
changes in the money mar
ket again began Tightening"
mortgage funds. Then it
adds:
Inventories are down,
markets seem strong, and
most of the reporting build
ers have protected themselves
much better than in the
past against tightening money
by obtaining firm commit
ments for permanent finan-
cling on most of the units
under construction, and in
planning"
More than 500 builders in
all types of operations. price
classes and geographical areas
of the Nation participated in
the survey. Collectively they
expect to build 40 per cent
more homes this year than in
1858. AS of December, they
estimated an increase of 80
per cent in their 1859 build
ing.
Sales price of the typical
new house being built by the
men surveyed is $4,000,
slightly less than the price of
their 1858 home. The typical
house covered by the survey
is 1910 square feet, an in
crease of about 2 per cent
from last year.
A trend this year to lower
priced homes also was shown
in a breakdown of units by
price. While the number of
houses planned this year
increased 40 per cent, the
number of houses planned in
the less than $4,000 price
bracket almost doubled.
There also is a change in

"soILAGE GRASSES FOR THE VIRGIN ISLANDS"

Because of their performance as forage crops, and our
need for supplementary feed during the dry season, soilage
grasses should play a much more important role in the agri-.
culture of the Virgin Islands. There are several dual-purpose
grasses which grow well in these islands which could be
utilized equally well for pasture for silage, or as soilage crops.
Some Of these grasses, when properly managed, are longlived
perGnnials whereas others act as weak perennials, requiring
Feplanting after only a few crops have been produced. For
age sorghums, such as sudan grass, milo, or Guinea corn, act
as weak perennials in our climate. Elephant grass, some
forms of sugarcane, and Guatemala grass, may be grown for
comparatively long periods before they require being re-
lanted.
Some varieties of sugarcane are utilized as a soilage crop,
in much the same manner as are sugarcane tops each dry
season. Some of those adapted for cut greenfield have with
stood six years of cutting as often as growth permitted.
Guatemala grass stands have remained good for years in
some Central American countries where this grass is COM
monty used as a soilage crop. However, neither Guatemala
grass nor sugarcane is as adaptable to pasture use as Ele-I
plant grass. Elephant grass is relatively easy to establish;
it is a high yielding grass Of good forage quality whether.
used for soilage or silage, and is an excellent pasture grass,
under careful management. The protein content of some
varieties of Elephant grass runs as high as IL to is percent
This, when coupled with its good response to fertilizers,
makes it an outstanding generaLpurpose grass for our con-
ditions. Elephant grass grows fairly well on most Virgin Is
land soils buff, like other grasses, its yield is limited in areas.
of low rainfall. It is recommended that more of this general
purpose grass be grown throughout these islands in areas
where it is adapted. The greater use Of soilage crops would
certainly provide much badly needed livestock feed during
recIIrrent dry seasons.

New Candelabra Tower
To Aid TelevisiOn
Reception From BALTIC.

TeIeyisiOn viewers in this area
have new expert e nc e in
viewing in store for them at IL p.
M. Sunday august 81 when Mary
lands governor, J. Millard Tawes,
throws a switch putting into SER
vice the big new candelabra tower
which mounts the transmitting an
tennas of all three Baltimore tele-
vision stations.
This tower, the elimination OF
five years work and planning by
the three stations, gives the Balti-
more stations such additional
height as to increase the depend
able coverage of all three stations
by an estimated 5000 square miles
of land area in Maryland, Penn
sylvania, Virginia, Delaware, New
Jersey and West Virginia.
I'm special ceremonies scheduled
to start at IL p. m. Sunday, Cover
nor Tawes and Baltimore's new
mayor, ]. Harold sGrady, will Off
ciate. The big switch provided for
the purpose will fade all three
stations pictures for the few Sec
onds required to make the change
to the new facilities, and the pic
ture then re-appears via the an
tennas on the unique new "cande-
| labra" tower.
The tower is unique in several
ways. 1t is the second structure of
it's shape ever built, and is the
only tower of its type mounting
three antennas. It's effect for view
ers will be to afford clear, strong
pictures to many areas where
viewing from Baltimore may have
been less than perfect hitherto,
particularly for viewers who watch
from points far distant from the
Chesapeake metropolis.
The antennas alone atop the
tower weigh twenty-One tons, and
| it takes 800 tons of new high
strength steel to hold them up, plus
two miles of heavy bridge-type
wire-cable guys to make sure the
tower is rigid and SAFE And speak
ing of safety, it is designed to
withstand peak winds of 165 miles
an hour, which seems safe enough
in view of the fact that the strong
est wind ever recorded by the Bal
timore Weather Bureau reached a
velocity of 80 miles an hour in the
famous Hurricane Diane.
The triangular top is 105 feet
across each face and is reached by
an elevator equipped to commun-
icate by radio with the ground.
WBAL-TV Channel III and
WMAR-TV (Channel p built new
transmitter buildings to house their
transmitting equipment. WITTY
(Channel 13) which was already at
the site, simply re-directed it's
lines from it's old tower to the
new one nearby. 1t took a ton-and-a
half of paint to give the tower it's
decor of white and international
orange
Completion of the electronic
equipment of the new tower mark
ed new milestone of achievement
I by some of the foremost engineers
| of the nation. The tower was con-
] structed under the supervision of
the Radio Corporation of America,
which also supplied most of the
new electronic gear.

Choice OF Governors

brief acceptance remarks.
The governors brought their
conference to a close with wrang-
ling, compromising and a bid to
their Soviet 'counterparts to visit
the United States.
On what they said was the grav-
est issue confronting the states,
the governors lodged a fight and
sent up a compromise call to
President Eisenhower and Con-
gress to settle their differences
and keep the vast interstate high
way program going.
Fussing broke out over resolu-
tions urging a settlement of the
steel strike and the Improvement
of federal-state relations. The steel
resolution was watered-down to
avoid any implication that the fed
eral government hasn't done all it
should to bring agreement.
In what turned out to be los
ing, one-man battle, Gov. Ernest
F. Hollings of South Carolina tried
to block the resolution on visit
by Russian officials.
In his brief acceptance remarks,
Governor Boggs told his colleagues
that he was highly honored by
their decision.

Information Service
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

IL understand the CT interest
rate has been raised by law to
five and one fourth percent.
Am I correct in thinking the
higher rate applies only to
new loans, and does not affect
loans made before the new
law?
is correct. Loans closed
before July 2, 1859 are in no
way affected by the new law.
Only loans made on or after
this date can be charged the
new five and one fourth inter-
est rate.
My three year from discharge
deadline for starting school
under the Korean CT Bill will
come in August. Can I make
application then, and start
classes when school opens in
September?
Mo. You must actually be in
School by your deadline. You
may not make application be-
fore the deadline, with the
idea of starting after it has
passed.
IL just got married, and can
now claim more CT allowance
money this Fall as a CT stu
dent. What kind of evidence
will VA need, so it can raise
my school allowance?
TO claim an increased allow
ance, you should send VA a
certified copy of either the
public record or the church
record of your marriage. 1t
must bear the seal and sigma
ture of whoever keeps the rec
ords, in the church or court.
IA veteran of my acquaintance
is drawing extra pension pay
ments because he requires
constant nursing care. Would
his extra payments be stopped
if a member of his family pro-
vided this care, other than
someone outside his family
hired for this purpose?
Mo. The extra payments would
still continue if the nursing
care is provided by a member
of his family. The law does
not specify who shall provide
the regular aid and attendance
necessary.
