is not likely to revive in the
coming year.
Banks and savings and loan
associations have watched their
deposits and invested capital
rise steadily in the last part of
1862, while demand for loans
failed to come up to expecta-
tionS.
The result has been a plenti-
full supply of money for COM
mercial or residential borrow
ers. Little change in this situa-
ton is expected in the first half
Of 1868 at least.
In the meantime banks and
savings and loans are begin
ming to question how long they
should continue to pay higher
rates Of interest and dividends
to attract savings that can be
fully employed profitably only
with difficulty.

Saxon Is Watched

of the new Comptroller Of the
Currency, James j. Saxon, are
being watched closely for some
clue to future banking trends.
More new bank branches and
new bank charters were ap-
proved in 1862 than in many
years.
One Of the new bank charters
resulted in establishment of a
new Washington bank, the Dis
trict Of Columbia National
Bank. For the time being, this
raised the total of the city's
banks to IL.
In the latter part Of 1862,
however, rumors of new merger
proposals among District banks
revived.
At least three different mer-
gers were discussed, but came
to naught. At the year end, a
sure-enough merger appeared
in prospect, with the possibility
Of a second by midyear. These
would cut the number of city
banks back to 10 again.
Before the bank holiday in
1888, the District had as many
as So banks at one time and
when the holiday came, it was
generally recognized that there
were too many District banks,
most Of them too small to
weather an emergency.
The size OF a banks combined
capital and surplus governs how
much it can lend to any single
borrower. Therefore its size
affects its ability to compete
for business.
Because District banks can
not extend operations beyond
the limits Of the Capitals "a
square miles, the only way they
can grow is to merge. At the
busy center of a busy area they
are competing for larger busi-
ness than ever before and want
to grow to get that business.

Cost Cutting Technique Tested
In Smyrna Corn Demonstration

It's becoming a well known
fact that Atrazine will control
weeds In field corn. And most
farmers are sure that addition
al nitrogen will boost corn
yields.
But can the two be applied
at the same time using the
same equipment, eliminating
the time and expense of another
trip across the field2 DR.. VIII
liam Mitchell, extension agron-
omist at the University of Del
aware, thought so, and he set
out this spring to prove 1t un-
der everyday farm conditions.
With the assistance of coun-
ty agents and fertilizer COM
pany representatives he laid
out a demonstration plot on the
James Mitchell farm near
Smyrna. James and his father
grow 500 acres of corn In ad-
didon to milking rs Holstein
COWS, and they are always on
the lookout for labor saving
techniques. The Mitchells we're
already cooperating with the
University and the Delaware
Crop Improvement Association
In testing the performance of
20 hybrid corn varieties.
Mitchell applied an Atrazine
-Uran mixture in strips across
the test plots just after the corn
was planted. Although complete
results of the tests won't be
known until the corn is har-
vested, DR.. Mitchell says the
two products can be mixed and
applied at one time with favor
able results. In addition to the
saving from making only one
application, culdvating was e.
minated.
This is one more method
available to corn growers for
applying nitrogen and Tweed con-
troll chemicals, and many far
mers will find 1t an excellent
method, although 1t is not a
"cure-all" for every kind of
soil or for every farmer, DR..
Mitchell points out.
Anyone interested In seeing
the variety tests and the Atra-
zine-Uran demonstration can
stop at the Mitchell farm on
Route l3near Smyrna. The plots
are well marked, and the Mitch
ellis are glad to have anyone
interested stop by.

The North American con-
tinent will be covered by an
eclipse of the sun on Saturday
afternoon, July 20.
Beginning at approximately
4:40, the moon will begin to
creep across the face of the
sun, encroaching upon 1t more
and more until, at about $50,
about 86 percent of the sun will
be obscured. The solar eclipse
will end around 6:50.
A solar eclipse is a rare
event. The last one seen here
was In 1884. Another one will
not be visible from the United
States until 1870, and not over
this part of the nation until
2024.
The eclipse will be total far
ther north along 53-mile-wide
zone beginning near Anchorage,
Alaska, passing diagonally
south-eastward through Cana
da, and ending near Bar Har-
Dor, Me.
If the moon orbited the earth
In the same plane in which the
earth revolves around the sun,
there would be alternating So
lar and lunar eclipses every
IA days.
However, the moons orbital
plane is set at an angle of al
most six degrees to the earth
sun plane. The two planes al
ways intersect, but only when
the sun, moon and earth are
lined up along the intersection
can there be an eclipse.
If the moon is In the middle,
the sun Is eclipsed. That is
what will happen Saturday after
noon. For a brief interval the
sun, moon and earth will lie
In a straight line, with the moon
In the middle, blocking our
view of the sun.
Along the path of the total
eclipse, In the final seconds
before the moon is centered
over the sun, small flashes of
light may appear along the for
ward edge of the black lunar
disc. These are the last rays
of sunlight filtering through
mountains on the moon.
Then the brilliant disc of the
sun will be entirely obscured,
and one of the most specta-
cular sights In the universe will
be unveiled.
The corona of the sun, usually
overpowered by the brilliance of
the photosphere or central disc
of the sun, will blaze as a ne
bulous halo around the black
moon.
This is the million n-degree-
hot solar atmosphere, revealed
In slowly moving splendor.
Also, spears of fiery gases,
called prominences, may be
hurled from the obscured sur
face of the sun outward for
hundreds of thousands ofmiles.
There is no rain date for
this solar show, as the event
can not be postponed. And there
is just one note of caution:
Don't let the sun get In your
eyes.

Harrington

An opportunity to view the
more than 80 research pro-
jects under way ar the Univer-
sity of Delaware's Agricultural
Substanon will be available to
all Delawareans on August 7
at the annual Farm and Home
Field Day.
Bus tours will be conducted
throughout the day on the Sub
station ground, Route 28, south
west of Georgetown.
Of particular interest will be
plots showing the results of var
ious insect, disease and weed
control methods. Among the ex-
periments being conducted are
the use of number of diff
ferent weed and disease con-
troll chemicals on field and
sweet corn, carrots, tomatoes,
and peppers; the use of herbi-
cides on strawberries; various
disease and weed control
methods on soybeans and other
grains; and insect and disease
control for apples.
Other research ofgeneral In
terest includes experiments In
tomato and cantaloupe breed
ing to compare newly bred var
ieties with standard varieties;
and a large number of plots
comparing varieties of Straw
berries, onions, soybeans, ap-
pies, peppers, tomatoes, canta-
loupes and potatoes.
Research on other fruits, We
getables and field crops will
also be shown.
In addition, a newly designed
windowless broiler house will
be open for inspection, as will
the poultry diagnostic labora-
tory and other experimental
poultry facilities.
One of the highlights for wo-
men at Farm and Home Field
Day will be comparison tests of
seven varieties of frozen straw
berries. The berries, grown at
the Substation, are being tested
TO determine the best varie-
ties for the home freezer, and
homemakers will be able to
sample the berries and vote for
their choice.
Another program for women.
set for 10 am, will be a dis
cussion of food spoilage and its
causes, along with methods to
prevent spoilage. Miss Janet
Coblentz, extension food and nu-
triton specialist at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, assisted by
Frances Shoffner, Sussex Coun-
ty home economics extension
agent, will conduct the program.
A "Sick Plant Clinic" will

cialists In entomology, planr
pathology, horticulture and ag-
ronomy. Visitors are invited to
bring problem plants to the elm
ic for suggestions on possible
causes and cures. Microscopes

Ten teachers from Sweden
are visiting Delaware this sum-

Activities at the base for the
group included lunch at the Of
ficer's Mess, a brief bus tour
of the A, 100 acre installation
and a look at the interior of
a giant C-l33Cargomaster air
plane.
Methods of handling the tons
of cargo that pass through the

Kent Levy Court Disputes
Welfare Home Expenses

The State Board of Welfare
has asked the attorney generals
office to rule on the legality
of disputed expenses at the
Smyrna Welfare Home.
The Kent County Levy Court
has refused to pay its share
for four items In the June
expenses at the home.
In a meeting with the county
commissioners Tuesday, DR..
George Botte, superintendent of
the home, explained the expen-
ses and justified them as both
necessary and legal.
The commissioners have re-
fused to pay $4,000, Kent's
share of $60,9l7.62 In expen-
ses which they claim are not
justified under state statute.
Levy Court attorney N. Max
son Terry advised non-payment
of the bills on the basis Of
the section of the state code
which states the ''cost ofmain-
tenance of the home (welfare
home) and the care and support
of its inmates shall be charge
against the counties"
Terry thinks the four items
questioned do not represent
maintenance but are capital ex-
penses.
Only the Kent Levy Court
has questioned the bills while
New Castle and Sussex Counties
passed them without question.
In the meeting yesterday, DR..
Botte argued that the county's
share of the four bills is really
not $4,000 but $7,035.99 =
which is the county share minus
state reimbursement of half the
monthly costs.

STRIKES and SPARES
BY JOE WILMAN
Two Types Of Lanes Cali
for Different Angles

Star bowlers will classify
certain lanes as either inside
lanes" or outside lanes" And
they will adjust their games
accordingly.
An outside lane, for instance,
is a lane where light or thin
pocket hits product plenty Of
pin action and lots Of strikes.
Just the reverse is true with
an inside lane. 1t has a small
strike pocket and requires a
pretty tight hit in the 1-3 pock-
ct for a strike.
When I play an inside lane,
I usually try an inside angle.
That is, I take my stance fur
ther to the left than normal.
Then, I don't let my ball get
too far outside. That brings it
back into the pocket nice and
tight.
Some weeks 1t seems as II !
see nothing but Inside lanes,
then the pocket seems to open
up for me on outside lanes.
