Techniques of Extending Agricul-
tural Credit and Services" He
said, "Delaware's agricultural bus
mess involves people, resources,
action, constant change and prog
ress. The production. processing
and marketing of food, fiber, and
forest products is one of the
states most important businesses.
These changes have brought about
a new approach to agricultural fl
nance"
Mr.. Gottwals said the banker
must have a knowledge and APP
probation for Americas number
one industry-that of feeding and
clothing the people of this nation
and the world-cOmmOnly refer
red TO as "Agri-business." He ex-
planned that it is important for
the banker to have more complete
records of each farm business.
In closing Gottwals said agri-
culture is Americas largest bus
iness and will continue to grow
and will assume it's proper per-
spective as its public relations i'm
prove.

gram.
The program began after lunch.
Dean George NJ Worrilow of the
University of Delaware, school of
agriculture, greeted the group and
introduced Mr.. Simpson, who brief
ly explained the purpose OF the
delaware Bankers Agricultural
Clinic" as an effort to point up the
Importance OF the relationship be-
tween farmers and bankers.
Mr.. Diesslin then spoke on ''The
Past and Future of Farmers Cap
ital and Credit Needs
The need for increased capital
and credit as well as management
capacity in American Agriculture
will remain strong in the decade
of the 1960's," Diesslin declared
This will remain true even
though total acres of crops land
and farm workers in American ag.
riculture will continue to decline
In an effort TO further increase ag-
ricultural income. government pro
grams will place a premium tC
continue mechanization and iabol
substitution at a rapid rate"
Mr.. Diesslin pointed out that ne
farm income declined approx
mately one-fourth while farm i'm
debtedness doubled during the
1950's. Land values increased 81
percent from the level of 1885,
and are currently more than triple
their 1910 value on the average fol-
the whole country.
The financial implications oi
the farm situation. according tC
Diesslin. are these: G) The earn
ing capacity OF a farm now be
comes a significant factor in deter.
mining the debt-carrying capacity
OF the farm being financed. (2)
The debt-carrying capacity of the
upper one-third Of our commercial
farms has increased materially
during the past two decades while
the reverse situation holds for the
lower one-third Of our commercial
farms. CD With each passing year
the finance problem in the non.
commercial farm sector becomes
more and more a problem of fl
nancing a non-farm rather thar
a farm enterprise.

losses caused by the destructive apple
maggot.
The adult apple maggot is a fly,
about the size of house fly. 1t
emergeS in the summer from the soil
where il has oyerwintered in the
pupal stage. You can readily identify
il by distinctive white bands on the
black abdomen and oblique black
bands on the wings.
Flies lay eggs Singly in punctures
through the apple skin. Early thin
skinned, sweet and Sub-acid varieties
are the ones most often attacked.
Red Delicious and Jonathan are two
especially subject to maggot attack.
Eggs hatch in TO 10 days. The
legleSS white maggots develop in the
flesh of the fruit. Egg punctures and
pitted surfaces are the outward sign
of this pest at work within. Injured
apples usually drop and are turned
quickly TO brownish pulp. Worms
mature TO about Is inch long.
EntomologistS point out that spray
ing TO destroy flies before they de-
poSit eggs in your apples is the only
sure control method. For economy,
they suggest applying a broad-range
pesticide such as new SEWN inSecti-
eide. This carbamate material con-
trolls apple maggot, codling moth and
other major apple pests as well.
Good orchard practices will help
keep maggot population low. Pest
control specialists recommend col
lecting and destroying dropped ap-
pies to eliminate many larvae. Re-

Childhood Diseases
On Way Out
BY JEAN SPRAIN WILSON
AP Fashion Writer

The nursery school set may some
day be able TO avoid measles,
mumps and chickenpOx altogether.
This is the prediction of DR.. Geo.
Wheatley, president of the Ameri-
can Pediatrics Society. He says
however, the prospect is not i'm
mediate.
The drug industry is doing its
part to increase life expectancy TO
twice that of infants born before
1900.
The war on measles, for example
has already begun. Shots providing
temporary immuniZatiOn are avail
able now. Another type of inOcula-
tion greatly modifies the illness in
cases of exposure to measles.
DIR. Wheatley disagrees with par
ents who deliberately expose youn-
gsters TO childhood diseases to get
them over with.
''No disease no matter how mild
it is considered to be, should be
taken lightly" he says.
Today immunization shots for
diphtheria, scarlet fever, whoOping
NOu6n dAE
for babies during the first year.
Protection against typhus, yellow
fever, cholera and tuberculosis is
also provided when needed.
But teaching parents the impor-
tance and safety of these yaccfnes
has been a ceaseless public educa-
tion program that began in the 20s.
At that time New York city cam
paigned to halt diphtheria fatali-
ties with mass inOculations such as
have been done in some major cities
with polio vaccines recently.
Contrary religious beliefs, ignor-
ance, people with differing social
values have hindered a total inocu-
latiOn program.
Now the war against polio with
the various vaccines is being waged
in the backwoOds and big towns as
well.
Adversely, doctors today are try
ing TO undo overdependence on So
called wonder drugs, sulfa, penici-
Hin and the mycins. While they
were sometimes prescribed as cure
alls. they are now given more
judiciOusly. Doctors now believe
that young bodies can build up,
immunity to these drugs with too
much use.

The first sprigs of crabgrass-

ers-emerge in this part of the
country like clockwork around mid

Crabgrass has blue-green w d g
