Certified Soybean Seed
Supply Below Demand

said: 'Would you rather buy
certified soybeans testing e0R
termination and 9eR purity for
$500 per bushel or run of the
mill seed testing COZ germina-
tion and 70% purity for $500
per bushel7 Too many people
decide that the $500 seed is
the best buy and never bother
to figure out the P.L.S. or
pure live seed cost.
"a quick check shows that
the certified seed cost 7 III
cents per pound of pure live
seed whereas run of the mill
seed cost s cents per pound.
Even though the bushel cost
was twice as high certified
seed was clearly the best buy,
All the efficiency of COM
bining cultural operations in the
planting is wasted if the seed
does not come up" he added.

TEN THOUSAND ACRES of
woodland are being cleared each
year In Delaware. Bill Taber,
the state forester, gives us this
figure and says the land Is 60
ing into crops, principally soy
beans.
Our farm agency people are
taking a critical look at our for
est reserves, which admittedly
do not return much in cash to
farm owners. But trees are i'm
portant as windbreaks against
erosion in dry weather. Trees
also help store gromdwater for
local uses and provide recrea-
tional area. These are benefits
to the entire community.
Farmers should be given in
centives to keep such land In

year easements to continue
their present use. Bill says
easements are widely used on
the West Coast for this purpose.
Why not here7

bushes after every rainy period.
This must be kept up until the
fall.
Cultivate the surface soil to
kill weeds.
Insects are liable to become
troublesome now. Watch for
them and apply remedial meas
ures early.
An added feeding of a COM
plete fertilizer may be given to
any perennials which seem to
need 1t.
Sheared deciduous hedges
should be trimmed before the
new growth hardens sufficiently
to make 1t difficult to cut.
Pinch out the tips of growing
shoots of chrysanthemums until
they are bushy.
Dahlias may be planted up
until about the middle of the
month.
Tropical waterlilies may be
planted this month.
Remove flower heads from
lilacs and rhododendrons for
tidiness and to conserve the
plants energies.
Thin the fruits of applies,
peaches, plums, etc., If too

THISTLES and similar weeds
are not attractive to livestock
except under very dry con-
ditions. Trouble may then de-
velop from poisoning In some
species, or the weeds will
spread over the whole farm as
they go to seed.
Moving weeds before they &c
to seed is one way to control
them. Grubbing with spade or

the plants. 2-4-D chemical does

EXPERTS TELL WHAT TOWATCH
IN MAKING PURCHASE OF WIG

How can you be you're getting your moneys
worth on your first wig purchase? These answers from
experts in the field should prove helpful:
Buying first wig should prompt you to exercise the
same care as buying first fur coat Both are expensive
items that you want to last Therefore compensate for
your innocence by sticking to wig merchant in whom
you have reason to have confidence To protect yourself
make sure you deal with Of these Your own hair
styst may well be able TO make helpful suggestions
In choosing wig, check for texture Of the hair II
It's straight and stiff It's probably Oriental and should
cost much less than European hair
Turn the wig over and examine the inside The mesh
cap onto which the hair is should not be too stiff
and the mesh should be fine II the mesh is stffened
or sized, 1t lose the sffening after one cleaning
and emerge as limp laundry bag
Check to see how closely the hairs are stitched TO-
gether Some Of the bad wigs have the stitching as much
as an inch apart When cleaned these wigs give an APP
pearance OF sparseness, similar to bald spots
Be sure to ask whether the wig is machine made
handmade or combination OF both There are hun
dreds Of dollars difference in the cost
II you're buying on the instalment plan, read your
contract and know exactly what you're getting and how
much 1t will cost you before you sign Remember Once
you sign note you're committed to pay whether the wig
pleases you not.

secret deals. cheating by the
Soviets. the dangers Of the
treaty to our military security
and so forth" Senator Williams
said.
IT don't know how many
times the President Of the
United States had to reassure
the Skeptics that the approval
of the treaty does not mean we
are going to let our military
guard down.
IF the Soviet Union cheats
and suddenly tests, we will be
ready and we will test"
The treaty, signed in Moscow,
bans nuclear tests in the at
mosphere, underwater and in
outer space. 1t has been in
dorSed by the military Joint
Chiefs of Staff, on the assur-
ance from the administration
Of four safeguards.
These are: Pursuance Of an
aggressive program Of under
ground weapons testing; main
tenance Of strong laboratory
and other nuclear facilities; as
Surances Of a state of readiness
to resume atmosphere tests if
Russia cheats, and strengthen
ed facilities for detecting viola
tons and keeping abreast Of
Sino-Soviet nuclear activity,
capability and achievements.
The biggest fights are ex-
pected on the proposed Gold
water reservation and another
which Senator Long has said
he will support, or offer him
self. 1t would write into the
treaty the United States right
to use its nuclear weapons to
defend itself or friendly ma
tons in event of attack.
Stipulation Included
The Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee wrote this
stipulation into its committee
report and contends a reserva-
ton is unnecessary.
Senator Goldwater's reserva-
ton would delay the treaty's
effectiveness until the Russians
have removed "all nuclear
weapons, all weapons capable
of carrying nuclear warheads.
and all military-technical per-
sonnet from Cuba" and ar
rangements have been made
for international inspection to

Gen. Eisenhower wrote.
Senator Long, Democrat of
Louisiana, has said he will offer
a reservation to the treaty
giving the United States the
right to use nuclear weapons
when and how 1t chooses.
The Foreign Relations Com
mittee stipulated this in its
report on the agreement and
contends a formal reservation
is unnecessary.
Senate Majority Leader
Mansfield said in a separate
interview that attachment of
any such reservation as pro-
posed by Senator Goldwater
would xii the treaty. He said 1t
would force its renegotiation
with more than 80 countries
which have signed it and would
open the door for other nations
to lay down contingencies of
their own.
Every Senator desires the
withdrawal of Soviet troops
from Cuba" Senator Mans
field said, but ! do not believe
it can be accomplished in this
way. I hope there will be no
reservations attached which
will kill the treaty"
Senator Mansfield professed
to know Of no arrangements for
President Kennedy to speak out
on this issue. But from other
sources it was learned that
the President might either
make a news conference state
ment or set forth his views in
a letter.
Mr.. Kennedy told an August
20 news conference that, based
on the Judgment of United
States intelligence, there has
been a reduction in the last
az months of the number of
Soviet troops in Cuba. He and
Secretary of State Rusk have
called repeatedly for the evacu-
alton of all Russian military
units.
Senator Goldwater's move is

regarded in some quarters as
being in line with Republican
efforts to keep the Cuba issue
alive for the 1864 presidential
campaign.
However, Senator DirkSen
said he probably will oppose the
Goldwater reservation.
II want to see it In its final
form but from what I know
Of it now, I am inclined to OPP
pose it," Senator Dirksen said.
The Republican leader, who
thus far has withheld any
specific statement, is expected
to come out in favor of the
treaty in a formal Senate
speech on Tuesday. Chairman
Fulbright of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee will open
the debate tomorrow.
Senator Saltonstall of Mas
Sachusetts, chairman Of the
conference Of all G. o. P. Sena-
tors, announced that he will
vote for ratification.
Several other Senators have
announced they oppose ratifi-
cation. These include Senators
Russell, Democrat of Georgia,
chairman of the Armed Serv-
ices Committee, Stennis, Demo-
crat Of Mississippi, head of the
Preparedness Subcommittee,
Eastland, Democrat of MisSiS-
sipi, chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, Thurmond, Demo-
crat of South Carolina, Long,
Democrat of Louisiana and
Robert C. Byrd, Democrat of
West Virginia.
Tower Is Opposed
Senator Tower, Republican of
Texas, joined the opposition
also.
The Texas Republican con-
coded in a statement "it seems
likely at this point" that the
treaty will be ratified. But he
said he saw nothing in the
voluminous testimony that
would lead him to believe its
signing is a good thing.
Senator Harrison A. Williams,
jr., Democrat Of New Jersey, a
strong supporter of ratification,

the Senate debate may degen-
crate into a sham of irreSpon-
sible attacks and over-inflated
concern about unreal issues"

raced to the scene and lifted
up one end Of the tractor
single handedly to free the

his emergency strength to
tension.
A television performer was

passage from one Of the psalms
Of the Bible when the prompter
stopped cold. You can imagine
the tension in that situation.
He was committed to reciting
the psalm. 1t wasn't the sort of
thing one could ad lib.
Unaided by the prompter, he
recited every remaining line of
the psalm, word for word.
He later said, II guess I Just

couldn't have recited it from

Oriental Hair Used
The adver Sements, he
added. also are not specifying
whether the human hair is
European or Oriental.
There's a big difference-in
both price and appearance
Asiatic hair is stiff, coarse,
straight, scanty and dark. Un-
scrupulous manufacturers try
ing to soften it up to give the
appearance Of European hair
process and reprocess 1t to the
point where it tends to break
off in a few months of con-
slant wear.
European hair, on the other
hand, is usually soft and fine
and about eight times as ex-
penSive as the Asiatic hair.
Yak hair is showing up In
some of the wigs. Women who
think they are getting all hui
man hair wigs learn different
ly If they happen to have an
allergy to animal hair and buy
a wig with yak mixed with the
other hairs.
One woman customer says
she broke out with little red
blotcheS and her doctor told
her to stop wearing the wig
and return it. She returned it
but by that time the 1896 note
she had signed had been bought
by a finance company and she
was sued.
Mr.. Mccarthy said other
questionable ads involve gim-
micks that have the makings
of a lottery as we'll as dubious
claims of savings.

A Federal Trade Commission

has launched an investigation
OF possible Misrepresentation
in the sale of wigs here.
At the District Building C.
T. Nottingham, superintendent
Of licenses and permits in the

investigating wig practices.
He explained that the Com
missioners have authority to Ii
cense and regulate any bust
ness or calling in the city
when, in their judgment, the
public interest requires it.
He said this authority is
exercised only when the Com
missioners have knowledge of
sharp practices or miSrepre-
sentation.
He urged all women with
complaints against wig firms
to inform the Department OF
Licenses and Inspections so the
District can determine II IL
censing is necessary.
I'VE want to be in a position
to evaluate the complaints and
curb these activities before
they get out Of hand" he ex-
planned.

many Of the individuals now
in the wig business would be
denied licenses II they were
