Soil Fertility Is A
Good investment

Don't skimp on lime and fertil-
izer use" says Edward H Ralph,
Associate County Agent, with the
University of Delaware Agricul-
ture Extension Service. Soil fer
tility represents one of the best
investments a farmer can make
today"
Farmers who try to save money
by buying less lime and fertilizer
can cut income faster than they
cut out-Of-pocket COSTS" RALPH h
says.
Most farmers will find that one
of the best ways to meet the pres
ent price-cost squeeze is to eX-
pand the use of fertilizer on their
farms at the right place and time
and in the right amounts.
Use of fertilizer does not auto
matically guarantee higher net re-
turns, however. Test your soils
first to determine the needs of
each field. For example, use of
high phosphate fertilizer on land
already high in phosphate is as
bad as under-fertilization How
CNSls tlIC oeiIiic ldllu Htcu pOl-
ash or nitrogen and adding these
elements will boost yields.
TEST, don't guess." Ralph said.
Call the County Extension Office
at S56-2553 for detailed informa-
ton on soil testing. The Agricul-
tural Extension Service soil test
ing laboratory in Agric1 Hall,
Univ of Delaware, will test the
without charge, Ralp h
said
Now is a good time to get the
soil samples since the ground is
not yet frozen This will also en-
able you to get the soil test re-
suits back in ample time to plan
a lining and fertilization program
for 1862.
Soil Samples should be taken to
the County Extension Office on the
6 org e 0 W n-Laurel Highway,
Ralph reminds.

Dear Friends:
| sent a picture to friends of
ours in Kansas yesterday and they
will not be able to believe their
eyes. 1t showed a merchant in
ID. G. yesterday unloading Christ
mas trees to sell at his stand this
holiday season. Those who sell
trees in Kanses are just about sold
out now. The buyers did not take
their trees home to stand them
in buckets of water in the garage
either. Out there they are already
in the various homes, lighted and
have their places by the front win
dOwS so everyone can see them
as they pass by Maybe it's better
than the way We do it. Maybe we
should celebrate the advent sea-
son prior to the 25th-for all of
December, but | have been raised
the reverse way.
Because of Leslie our tree won't
even be brought into the house
until Christmas Eve. Santa lights
and trims our tree and then it is
a wonderful surprise Christmas
morning. Lynne and Dawn will
help us trim the tree after Leslie
goes to bed. 1t will be an extra
special Christmas this year because
Well have a grandparent with us
and that really makes for a happy
time Hayes mother will return
with us the 23rd after we have
had dinner with my family earlier

Worse Than ObsoIescent

j. a. Livingston, a nationally
syndicated writer on business and
financial affairs, recently devoted
a column to the dilemma of the
railroads. He didn't absolve the in
duStry of all the blame for the
deep financial troubles it now
faces internal rivalry and jeal-
Ousy, he said, have been factors in
some cases. But he made it plain
that the basic problem is of very
different nature. To quote him:
The railroads are overburdened
with taxes, Improbable rights of
way, regulation, and government
financed turnpikes and airlines
1t is becOmig clear to everybody
that Cd the railroads no longer
have a monopoly on transporta-
ton. and (2) monopoly attitudes
toward them are worse than OBJ
solescent. They're atavistic and
punitive"
That sums the matter up with
both accuracy and SuccinctneSS.
Most of the regulatory laws were
written, and regulatory policy laid
down, IN an age which is forever
gone. So far as commercial trans
pOrtation is concerned it was, fig
uratlyely speaking, prehistoric
age. There were no airplanes at
all. Commercial service by road
vehicle was next to non-existent.
There were few private automo-
biles. So. if you wanted to travel
somewhere or ship something, you
turned to the rails.
Now railroads must compete in
one of the toughest of all markets,
against the airplanes, the trucks,
the busses, the private automobile,
the non-regulated private carrier,
the barges. And they must try to
do that, to repeat wha Mr.. Living
StOn so we'll said under attitudes
that are 'atavistic and punitive.
Is it any wonder that our essen
tial, irreplaceable railroads are
deep in dOldrumS-a that one of
our most urgent domestic needs is
thorough revision of regulatory
legislation that will give them the
chance to compete on even terms
with the other and new carriers? ?

its low for the year, and at this
writing as around 730 The sec
Ond D-J Average is that of rail
road stocks This Rail Average
was indecisive until the closing
months of the year when it work
ed moderately higher. There are
comparatively fewer shares of
railroad stocks in this Average
and comparatively fewer shares of
stock outstanding. Hence, manip-
ulators have a better chance of
playing their game with the rail
stocks. This Average opened 1861
at 131 and at this writing is 147

erages is the Utility Average; this

GOVERNMENT SPENDING
Unfortunately, all of these sew
en- aspects of the economy are
very dependent upon government
spending. This has been primar-
lily for defense, and it seems in
directly to affect every reader of
this column. Government spending
for goods and services should av-
erage around $109 billion for 1861,
which exceeds that of World War
l, World War II, or the Korean
War | doubt if any reader of this
column will ever witness total
disarmament; but | do believe
that there will be some interna-
inc n
the use of nuclear weapons. This
could cause a sudden decline in
the income of manufacturers, re-
tailers, employees, and of almost
every reader of this column.

AUTO SAFETY BELTS

The automobile industry has, for several
years, tried without much success to get the
nations motorists to use seat belts.
This fall, all major automobile manufac-
turers began equipping their cars with at
tachments for seat belts at little or no
profit
The results Of this new campaign are
encouraging. American Motors reports that
ten per cent of the new car buyers want
seat belts, and that this demand is ten times
as large as the demand last year. Officials
from Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth also in
dicate that seat belt sales have risen from
about $50 to 100 per cent.
We feel that part of the credit for the
increase in interest in safety belts goes to
the doctors and police officials over the ma
tion who have been pointing out in speeches
the Importance of wearing seat belts. The
most significant fact which we have heard
in this connection came from pair of prom
inent surgeons who told medical confer
ence that a study showed that 10000 per-
sons killed in highway accidents in one year
would be alive if they had used seat belts.

BABSON PARK. Mass, Decem-

| must mention the Federal Re-
serve Index of Industrial PrOduc-
ton. This Index averaged los for
1860, and according to my esti-
mate 1861 should average higher,
around 109 This barometer

PERSONAL INCOME
Notwithstanding the recession
which extended into early 1861,
personal income not only held up
very we'll this year, but advanced
above 1860 This figure concerns
every reader of this column, and
recognizes what was lost by the
automobile workers and others af
fected by strikes. The more
strikes, the less personal income.
EMPLOYMENT
Beginning in February of 1861,
employment rose steadily, except
for the auto strike period. With
gradually rising employment and
wages, 1861 will wind up with a
good record for 1862 to shoot at

THE LAST MONTH

Hard to accept-that the last month of
1861 is upon us. But the year is almost
over and here it is Christmas again. The
years go faster and faster as we grow older
and all who read this editorial are growing
older!
This has been the first year of the Ken
nedy sixties. In economics, there has been
some improvement from the picture of
year ago, so the statisticians tell us, for
which we should be thankful. But that is
not the primary consideration for us at this
time of year.
1t is whether we have accomplished any
thing, personally, during the year. What
good have we been able to work during the
year? Whom have we been able to help?
What have we learned? What have we tried
to do, to broaden ourselves, and better un-
derstand others.
What have we done, in 1861, to ease the
plight Of those less fortunate than ourselves?
These are the questions to be asked as the
year comes to its last month. These are the
things we can do which will bring happi-
ness and which are in the Christmas spirit.

A BIG STEP FORWARD

1t is impossible to say, at this stage
what the long-range effect of the publica-
tion of President Kennedy's remarks in Il
vestia will be in Russia. Observers can tell
about immediate reactions; they can draw
terview was received by the populace, and
from the very fact that it was given such
wide and full publicity. But the important
results of this Soviet venture into Western
style journalism may emerge in unforeseen
ways months and years hence.
Heretofore the leaders Of the Soviet gov
ernment have known the official u. S. atti-
tude on such questions as Berlin, nucear
testing, freedom Of choice for Soviet satel-
lite peoples in eastern Europe. Khrushchev
and his Kremlin associates have known how
President Kennedy, supported by most Am
ericans, feels about these things. But the
Russian people have not known; they have
been given little chance to know
Now they do know. They have had
chance to read 10 columns of question and
answer material based on Alexei Adzhu-
beis long interview with the President. 1t
does not follow that, having for the first time
had access to the u. S. point of view without
the usual distortions and omissions, the Rus
sian people will prevail upon the Kremlin to
seek an honest resolution Of differences with
the United States
1t can be said, however, as President
Kennedy did say, that publication of the
interview was "a marked step forward in
American-Soviet understanding" 1t is not
naive to hope that notable change for the
better may come of this.

THE PART WE PLAY

FOreboding developments in Latin Am
erica seem to call for a reappraiSal on the
part of the West. These developments sup
port the ominous deductions of many stu
dents of the southern continents economy.
Chief of those deductions is that if the Reds
take over in Latin America it will be due
more to the unrealistic and almost willful
blindness of the entrenched ruling classes
than to Communist initiative.
There has been crying need for analy
sis of this situation. Now Saturday Eve
ming Post writer, James Morris, has pro-
vided it. In an article dealing specifically
with Chile he draws conclusions equally ap-
plicable to much of the rest of the CONT
nent And his chief warning is aimed at us,
as American citizens.
After declaring President Kennedy's
Alliance for Progress sensible way to COM
bat the Red menace Morris hazards that in
spite of it a Communist takeOver is in the
cards unless we accept the fact that the
Communists sometimes have point; un-
less we are prepared to grant that the Chill
cans have, for example, every right to ma
tionalize-at a fair price to the owners-the
vast American-Owned copper concerns that
dominate the national economy; unless we
stop branding every liberal reformer as
Communist agent; unless we learn, if not to
stomach Fidel Castro, at least to cOncede
his enormous appeal in Latin America and
adapt ourselves to it, unless we wake up to
the fact that our opponents do not always
win by fraud but sometimes by kind of
back-of- -the-hand, under-the-counter merit"
This may not be pleasant reading, but
the point of view it expresses should be most
seriously considered. Though Morris deals
largely with the short-sightedness of the
land owners, in the paragraph quoted he is
talking about no one else but us and the
myopia of our commercial relations with our
oppressed neighbors to the south.

1852 Cut
In u. S. Jobs
Reported

A Senate group reported to-
day that there were 1882
fewer civilians employed by the
Federal Government in Sep
TENDER than in August.
The Joint Committee on Re-
duction of Nonessential Fed
eral Expenditures said the Sep
TENDER payroll umbere d
2,427,216 persons compared
with 2,445,078 in August.
The number of employees in
creased in both August and
July.
The committee staff said the
decreases we're largely seasonal
and included declines of 1854
for the Agriculture Depart
ment, 1924 for the Interior De-
partment and 1851 for the
Post Office Department.
Civilian employment by mil
1tary agencies dropped by ITO
persons in September. The
Army reported a decrease of
1852 but this was partially Off
set by increases of 804 in the
Navy, 119 in the Air Force and
10 in the office of the Secre-
tary of Defense.
In addition. 168,805 foreign
nationals were employed over
seas in September, chiefly by
military agencies. The Army
listed 110,796, the Air Force
41,704 and the Navy 1904.
Most of them we're employed
in Germany, Japan, England

Farm Surplus
Proposed
By the Associated Press

Henry A. Wallace, a former
Vice President and Secretary of
Agriculture. said today that if
properly used United States
farm surpluses represent ma
ton strength. not weakness"
He proposed the SURPRISES be
put into a reserve to help back
ward countries.
Only in agriculture, he said,
is it definitely certain that the
United States will remain Su-
perior to the rest of the world
for many years.
Mr.. Wallace's remarks came
in a lecture prepared for an
Agriculture Department gradu-
ate school on the departments
first 100 years.
Mr.. Wallace, who drafted the
"ever-normal granary" farm
program of the late 1930s when
he was Agriculture Secretary
in the Roosevelt administration,
suggested that the program be
put to use on an internst ional
scale to help the needy and
make use Of farm SURPRISES.
Under the ever-normal gram
airy idea, SURPRISES Of good crop
years are stored for use in poor
years. 1t contributed greatly
to food needs during World
War II.
Mr.. Wallace said the current
Food-for-Peace Program di-
recting SURPRISES to needy areas
is a step in the right direction.
But we must go further in
using our agricultural SURPRISES
and our technology as a posi-
tive force for the promotion of
human welfare and peace"
I'VE should pe proud of our
ever expanding agricultural
technology" he said. Properly
used, our technology and our
SURPRISES represent national
! strength, not weakness"
