USDA Reports
On Storage Costs

The direct cost to the Nations
commercial warehouses of stor-
ing grain ranges from about 5
cents to more than 21 cents
bushel, according to a preliminary
report on a u. S. Department of
Agriculture survey of grain stor-
age costs received at the Kent
Agricultural Sterilization and Con-
seryation office in Dover.
The survey was made in con-
nection with plans for renegoti-
alton of the Uniform Grain Stor-
age Agreement, which contains the
rates and other terms that govern
the storage of price-support grain
in commercial warehouses, under
either Government loan or Govern
ment ownership.
Average direct storage costs, not
including handling charges and
indirect charges such as quality
deterioration, shrinkage and re-
turn on capital investment, amount
to 10.1 cents bushel a year for
country elevators, the survey
shows. For terminal warehouses,
it is 8.6 cents bushel. The over
all average for both types is 9.5
cents bushel direct operating cost
to the warehouse for a year.
The ASC office explained that
detailed checks were made of 432
country and terminal warehouses.
The sample was then extended to
reflect all the commercial stor-
age facilities in the country.
Percentage of occupancy, an
important factor in per-bushel
storage costs, was high during
the period for which the cost sur
vey was made. About so percent
of all the storage space the ware
houses had available for storing
grain for others (grain not owned
by the warehouse itself was oc-
cupied.
Commenting on the preliminary
survey findings, Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson termed grain stor-
age Hone of our most complex
operating problems.

hold their grain for orderly mar
keting and to take advantage of
price-support financing. The De-
partment must have space to house
it's own surplus price-support
stocks. Private industry must also
be in position to store its holdings,
In a review of rates paid to
commercial warehousemen for
grain storage, the Department re-
ports that rates were increased
materially from 1910 to 1852.
There was a moderate increase in
1854, but an adjustment in 1856
resulted in lowered costs to the
Government for the great bulk of
the grain storage.
The Department also reports
that the capacity of storage bins
owned by the Government has
nearly doubled since 1852, reach
ing a total of almost a billion bu-
shells, and that millions of BUSH
els of new on-farm storage fa-
cilities have been built in recent
years with the aid of Government
loans-both for buying or build
ing bins and for adding the neces-
sary conditioning equipment.

Tractor Maintenance
Project

It's time to thoroughly check
that tempermental tractor, Dad.
And one of the best ways to do it
is to talk Junior into enrolling in
the All tractor maintenance pro-
ject, according to Jim Baker, coun-
ty All Club agent.
He says Junior, as a All trac-
tor maintenance project member,
will learn how to care for and
operate Old Unreliable skillfully,
safely and efficiently.
Mr.. Baker reports that more
than so boys participated in the
1859 Delaware All tractor main
tenance program, and completed
a project book. They studied the
inside workings of the tractor,
why and how it runs, and what
keeps it running. Countrywide
| training schools were held and
project members were given in
struction by University of Della
ware agricultural engineers and
other tractor specialists.
This is just the project which
will turn some of Juniors mechan-
cal ability into money-saving
know-how. Proper tractor main
tenance cuts operating costs 500
to $500 per year, according to Uni
versity of Delaware engineers.
The Sussex County All Tractor
Operators Contest, held in June,
provides each project member with
an opportunity to demonstrate his
skill in operating a tractor and to
follow safety rules. His general
knowledge of the tractor is tested
with written examination. Last
year the county winners were: Ro-
land Kitchens, Phillip Messick and
David Whaley.
The state contest held during
the Kent and Sussex Fair in July
decides the project member who
represents the state at the Allan
tic Rural Exposition in Richmond
Va.
County propect winners receive
a goId-filled medal at the achieve
ment banquet in the fall The state
award is a trip to the annual Ma.
tional All Club Congress in Chi
cago, Ill, early in December. Ma
tiOnal awards are twelve college
scholarships of $400 each The
state winner this past year was
Jimmy Jestice of the Sycamore
All Club.

You're rs years old and cello

one. Chances are, in fact, that
cellophane Is older than HE Is.
It was first developed around
1900 by a Swiss chemist named
Brandenberger who was trying
to combine viscose with cotton
to make material that would
resist dirt and staining, He in
vented the name cellophane
from the first syllable of "cellu-
lose" and "phanein" the Greek
word for appear" or "see
through"
In 1913 Brandenberger made
an arrangement with Dupont
to manufacture cellophane by
his patented process but moth
ing much was done with it
until it was made moisture
proof. Then, about 1880, it was
introduced as a wrapping mate

are Members of the UN, and
which administer non-self-govern-
ing territories, are obliged to
transmit information about the
economic, social, and educational
conditions in their territories. On
this apparently very narrow and
limited responsibility, there has
emerged at the United Nations
procedures, detectives, studies and
proposals for action which have
made Chapter XII one of the most
vital sections of the Charter. To-
day, when UN action in the Bel
gian Congo is the only force saw
ing that territory from complete
chaos and anarchy. it is most
gratifying to be able to appraise
the wisdom of those at San Fran
cisco who urged that the time had
come to accept fortnight inter
national responsibility for the
welfare Of non self : governing
peoples.
The action taken by the First
General Assembly foreshadowed
the conception of the Charter as a
flexible instrument Of world CO.
operation, to be interpreted in the
light of changing conditions,
rather than as a rigid pattern of
procedure set for all time at San
Francisco. This caused great con-
Germ among certain international
legal authorities, and even now,
when the Charter as a whole is
far more generally regarded as a
dynamic rather than as a static
instrument, differences of opinion
continue to arise regarding the
extension Of international respon-
sibility under Chapter XI for
non-self-governing peoples.
The problem was succinctly put
by the London Times in an arti-
Gle published on November %,
i949 from which ] quote:
IF Britain fell into line, she
would be placed, with all her ex-
perience in colonial administra-
ton, in the intolerable position of
having to submit to the direction
of a purely political body
While supervision would be APP
piled to British colonies, the So
Wet Union would escape supervi-
sion in administering those back
ward territories whose colonial
status is only concealed by the
fact that they are geographically
contiguous to Russia itself

Delivered on Thursday, Dec. 8
1860, to the Rotary Club Of
st. Croix.
Gentlemen and Guests of Rotary:
If time permits, I want to tell
you a little about each of the fol-
lowing four topics from my ex-
perience at the United Nations
during the nine years that I had
the honor and privilege of work
ing there on colonial problems, or
as it is now called problems of
'non-self-governing'' peoples.
First, the provisions of the UN
Charter, Chapter XI, which oblige
the Governments administering
territories to transmit regularly
to the Secretary General, infor-
nation of a technical nature relat-
ing to the economic, social, and
educational conditions in such
territories;
Second, the questions and prob
lens which arose out Of this APP
parently simple obligation t o
transmit information;
Third, certain examples of find
ings in the field Of education such
as. (a) the language Of instruction
lb) the value of university level
facilities as part of the education
al system, and
Fourth, the Technical Assistance
Program, comprising: (a) assist
ance through field technicians (b)
assistance through scholarships
and fellowships.
Fifteen years acc. that is in
1916, when the United Nations
was ORGANIZED in San Francisco,
some 600, OOO, 900 peoples Of the
world were not fully self-govern-
ing. BY 1850 India, the Philip
pines, Jordan, Pakistan, Burma,

prising an aggregate population of
some 100 ,0O0, 900 attained nation

dent countries. That still left
zoo, 600, 900 people in "a territories
who had not vet attained full SOW
ereignity, and concerning whom
the problem of internal self-gov-
eminent became the responsible
lily of the world organization.

with which we were confronted.
