Lime Usage on
Crops Results in
Higher Yield

If soils are too acid, lime
stone will help plant nutrients
do a better job of producing
crops, reports County Agent
George Vapaa.
He points out that the use of
lime encourages the use of fer
tilizer. Crops show better re-
sponse to nutrients, with the
result that yields are higher.
These larger yields pull more
nutrients out of the SOIL" the
agent adds. "This means that
more, rather than less, fertiliz-
er will be required in the soil
management program.
Here are some of the bene-
fits from lining, according to
Mr.. Vapaa: i.
l. Lime, where needed, helps
promote the growth and de-
velopment of soil microbes.
These microbes convert or
ganic nitrogen to the nitrate
from which crops can read
lily use.
p. Lining adds calcium and
magnesium to the soil. 1t al
so helps prevent the accum-
ulation of toxic amounts of
aluminium, iron and mang-
anese.
3. Lime helps keep fertilizer
phosphate available to crops
for a longer period.
A. 1t improves soil structure by
promoting granular, crumb-
like soil structure. Such a
soil soaks up more water and
allows air to move in and out
more freely. 1t also provides
''leg-room" for crop roots.
5. Lime helps assure the growth
and vigor of alfalfa and 9TH
er legumes.

Does money slip away from

there's a hole in your pocket,
says Janet Reed, extension clo-
thing specialist with the Uni
versity of Delaware.
If this is the case, just tell
Nom that restricting is all
that's needed to patch up small
holes. But clue her in that this
is only temporary measure
and that soon a safer, longer
lasting repair job will be neces-
sary.
Press-on or sew-on half-pock-
cts are available for mending
pockets that have worn thin at
the bottom. Just cut off the
lower part of the pocket and
replace it with a half pocket.
The sew-on variety may be a
safer bet if you carry lots of
coins. The iron-on kind may
not hold up as well.
If the entire pocket has worn
thin, break the news that the
whole thing will have to be
replaced. The procedure isn't
so hard. Just cut off the old
pocket close to the wool fac
ing inside the pocket mount and
then sew the new pocket to the

Bankers Agricultural Clinic Held at
U. of D. on Farm Financing Problems

DR.. Howard G. Diesslin, as
sociate managing director of the
Farm Foundation, Chicago, told
$50 Delaware bankers attend
ing the Delaware Bankers Agri-
cultural Clinic at the University
of Delaware Thursday after
noon, that farm real estate val
ues appear to be leveling off.
For some years to come, we
may look back to the March
1860 index of farm land values
in the United States as the all
time high. Reports from around
the country indicate that land
values are leveling off in many
areas, even declining appreciab-
ly in some areas. American ag-
riculture has been faced with
higher interest rates for some
time now, along with rising tax
es, as we'll as lower farm earn
ings. The result, at some point
in time, must be lower farm
real estate values. 1t appears
that this point has been reach
ed" Diesslin said.
George c. Simpson, chair
man of the Delaware Bankers
Agricultural Committee and di-
rector of the Peoples Bank of
Harrington and Abram 2. Got
twals of the department of ag-
riculture and public relations,

upped its marketing guide to
245 million cwt. for the year.
This guide, 3 percent higher
than the 1860 guide, is expect
ed to supply all the potatoes
the market needs, but not more
than they can use.
The acreage-marketing guides
are prepared and issued by
USDA to help potato growers
take the guesswork out of PLAN
ming their production. This pro-
gram is completely voluntary
and growers make their own
decisions as to whether to
plant according to the Depart
ment's recommendations.

net farm income declined ap-,
proximately one-fourth while
farm indebtedness doubled dur
ing the l950's. Land values in
creased so percent from the
level of 1850 and are currently
more than triple their 1910
value on the average for the
whole country.
The financial implications of
the farm situation, according to
Diesslin, are these: (l) The earn
ing capacity of a farm now be-
comes a significant factor in de-
termining the debt-carrying ca
pacity of the farm being financ-
ed. (2) The debt-carrying Ca
pacity of the upper one-third
of our commercial farms has
increased materially during the
past two decades while the re-
verse situation holds for the
lower one-third of our CONNER
Icial farms. (3) With each pass
ing year, the finance problem in
the noncommercial farm sector
becomes more and more a prob
lem of financing a nonfarm
rather than a farm enterprise.
MIR. Gottwals followed DR..
Diesslin, discussing the Mech
anics and Techniques of Extend
ing Agricultural Credit and Ser
vices" He said, ''Delaware's
agricultural business involves
people, resources, action, con-
slant change and progress. The
production, processing and mar
keting of food, fiber, and for
est products is one of the
States most important besi-
nesses. These changes have
brought about new approach
to agricultural finance"
Have knowledge
MIR. Gottwals said the banker
must have knowledge and
appreciation for Americas num-
ber one industry-that of feed
ing and clothing the people of
this nation and the world
commonly referred to as "Agri-
business" He explained that it
is important for the banker to
have more complete records of
each farm business.
In closing, Gottwals said ag-
|riculture is Americas largest
business and will continue to
grow and will assume its prop
er perspective as its public re-
lations improve.
The clinic ended with a panel
answering questions from the
audience. Panel members in
cluded DR.. William E.. McDan-
iel, chairman of the department
of agricultural economics, Uni
versity of Delaware, moderator;
Karl Brown, vice-president, Bank
of Delaware and manager of
the Seaford office; Carroll c.
Short, manager of the Delaware
Trust Company, Middletown
branch; and the two speakers,
Diesslin and Gottwals.
The clinic, aimed at effecting
better understanding of the
credit needs of agriculture, en-
phasized the rise of new farm
ing techniques which force the
farmer to borrow in order to
keep abreast of change.

"Blue Seal" Pilot New Designation

Alaskan private and commercial pilots who have enough instrument flying skill to get themselves out of potentially dangerous weather situ ations will soon be sporting "Blue Seal' on their pilots certificates.
 Beginning October 1 Federal Aviation Agency safety inspectors at Fairbanks, Juneau, and Anchor age will begin issuing the new cer- tificates, according to M e1vin Derry, supervising inspector for general aviation for the flight standards district office in Anch- orage.
 The Blue Seal program is nation wide and all private and conner cial pilots who have received cer- tificates since May 1860 automatic ally become eligible Pilots who ob- tained licenses prior to that time may acquire the Blue Seal by sub- hitting logbooks and documents showing eligibility, and success fully completing minimum flight test limited to present instrument requirements for a private or com mercial license.
 The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association plans to offer pilots a 360 Degree Instrument Rating Course which the FAA will recog- nize as qualifying graduates for the Blue Seal. The course was devel- oped by the AOPA foundation and can be given by any flight school or qualified flight and ground instruc- tor. A syllabus for use by instruc- tors is available free from the AOPA.
 We are not trying to make full instrument pilots out of all pilots" FAA Administrator N. E. Halaby said in explaining the Blue Seal program. With this minimum abil- ity, pilot has life preserver he can use in emergencies.
 The Blue Seal certificates may be obtained from FAA inspectors at the Arctic Airways hangar at Fair banks International airport, the terminal building at the Juneau Municipal International airport, or the Safeway Airways hangar, Mer- Till Field, Anchorage.
