yaw mm *" in.e.gardner n,e state college Harmone* or Plant Regulators. What are they? I may be wading Into deep water, but I hope I don’t sink before I get to the end of this column. Some call them harmones, some growth re gulators; still others just accept them and use according to the in structions on the container. Let’s see what we can find out. Suppose we begin with 2,4- Dichlorophenoxyethyl sulphate. Come to think of it, this might also be a good place to end be cause many of the names are even longer. All we need to re member is that they represent the names and addresses of a long list of complicated chemical for mulae used to regulate the ■*grow th of plants in one way or anoth er. Perhaps if we define, as simply as possible, plant hormones and plant regulators it might help a little. A hormone is produced by the plant and influences growth processes by movement within the plant On the other hand, plant regulators are organic compounds applied to the plant to influence growth and reproductive pro cesses. So, you see, there is a dif ference, and perhaps we should smmw ilPSi iwnaiEWS Commercial com producers in their nation-wide referenda last Dec. 11 decided one basic is sue .. . they would prefer to leave the com price support policy in the hands of Congress than to give Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson full power to fix corn prices. Although a majority of these com growers favored the Benson plan, the two-third vote necessary to put it over failed to material ize. Thus corn remains a “basic commodity” and it now remains to be seen what Congress will do in the matter of increasing allot ments over the base acreage as eet out in the Benson plan. Ac cording to farm leaders in Wash ington, promises have been made by members of the Senate Agri cultural Committee to boost these allotments and to fix a price around |1.36 per bushel for the 1057 crop. • • • The Federal Reserve Board has reported that debts of farmers has jumped about 6% from mid-1955 to June 30, 1050, to a whopping $lB% billion. This is more than double the total farm debt in 1947 when the last survey was |nade, and is in spite of the fact there are 20 per cent less farmers today than in 1047. The board fixed or estimated total farm assets at $176 billion, and said that aver age interest rates paid were 6.4% on loans not secured by real estate and 5.4% on real estate-secured mortgages. Who wins on the Increase in interest rates on home mort gages?

Here >T- - % growth regulators because hor-' best refer to these compounds as mones also regulate plant growth. By using the broad term, we in clude the weed killers. We have been conducting ex periments with young oat seed lings in which the ' growing tip has been bent in one direction by the application of a growth regu lator in the proper concentration. From this study we hope to be able to modify the growth of peach trees so they will not bloom so early and be killed by spring frosts. We have used plant • regu lators in a number of other stud ies: for rooting cuttings; prevent ing and inducing sprouting in stored Irish potatoes; regulating shoot growth on azaleas as an aid to flower production; with toma toes to prevent bloom dropping and to influence cell structure; for killing weeds in strawberries, nursery crops and gladiolus fields; and to thin apples. You can buy some of these ma-J terials from your seedsman under’ different trade names. Instruc-j tions for use will be given on the container. Hope I haven’t left you stranded. 5% in an effort to halt inflation, or in other words to cut down on home building. Builders say the interest rate is needed to start' more building since banks won’t loan money for the lower rates.' But more building would increase, inflation. But if money is loaned at the 5% rate it would mean a boost of about SI,OOO in cost of a SIO,OOO 30 year FHA loan which also is inflation. But will the %% boost bring more money into the FHA home mortgage field? . . .! the answer is that banks, insur ance and other »lending institu tions can get plenty of loans at rates higher than 5% and some economists say that the boost in rates simply will bring about more competition for the same amount of loanable funds, which would boost interest rates higher and add to the inflationary spiral. The banks and Savings & Loan Associations have now been au thorized to boost interest rates, on savings, which means they will also seek higher earnings on loans and investments. There is a definite move under way to boost the home mortgage; loan rate on GI loans in the next’ Congress and the Mortgage bank-' 1 ers Association is urging Con gress to let FHA and VA inter- 5 est rates be freed entirely from 1 rigid controls to seek their own) economic level. The Equitable, Life Assurance Society, •re of i the Bigs on sources of mort gage financing, predicts the 5%j rate will not attract needed funds for home financing. So in the, long run, only the lenders win,' the home-builders arid home buy ers lose, and itill there is an in flationary spiral. * THIS WEEK -In Washington K Clinton Davidson gress assembled in l mwm Washinst ° n * h ® 1 problems over shadowing every . thing else. We are nearer the brink of World War 111 than at any time in the past 13 years. The Russian "peace offensive" of 1955 and 1956 has become a policy of murder and aggressiortPas > ruthless and threatening as any , the world has ever seen. The cold ,war has ended and one wrong step can plunge the world into a hor rible catastrophe. , If this sounds unduly alarming : to you, I hasten to add that it is '■ not alone my opinion but that of i military men, diplomats, admin istration officials and congress > men with whom we have talked. Almost everyone used the word "critical” to describe the situation; Most of those with whom v/o have talked asked not to be quoted by name, for obvious reasons. Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire was an exception. He is the rank ling minority member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a veteran of many,years in Congress. Bridges pulls no punches in his condemnation of the Communists. "Russian policy,” he said, “has not changed one iota, and the policy ) still continues to be one which ! would seem to have been conceived I by brute beasts rather than civil- I ized.human beings.” ; The New Hampshire Senator be -4 lieves that we and the United Na ) tions must share some of the blame for what has happened in the mutilation cf Hungary. Our fervent desire for peace has led Russia to believe we are willing to pay any price to avoid going to sear. . .. The Senator emphasized that “we need a foreign policy first that the American people can under stand; second, that our friends can understand; but, third, and more important than anything else, a foreign policy which our enemies can understand.” _ "We cannot allow a situation to exist where there is any doubt as to our position. The surest way to bring about a third world war in volving the major powers is to follow a line of indecision.” r-’-T —~ "‘o' of the U.N. handling of the Suez and Hun garian situations. "How does it happen,” he asked, "that the U.N. can be so firm about demanding that the British and French with draw from Egypt and, at the same time, so weak and vacillating about the brutal crushing of freedom in Hungary? "How long are we going to allow a tyranny by the minority in the U.N.? How long are we going to allow the Soviets, supported by the so-called neutralists, to use the United Notions for the purpose of dividing the Free World and. at the same time, not allow the U.N to take any action which ie in conflict with the totalitarian seif interest?" a The time has come, Bridges said, for a "very precise re-examination of our foreign policy.” We cannot, lie said, “allow a situation to exist wherft..there is any.doubt as to our position. Tire surest way to bring about a third world war is to fol low a line of indecision. "It seems imperative to me that our position be known to all. For example, there should be no ques tion about how we stand or what we will do if South Korea, if For mosa, the Philippines and Japan are threatened or attacked—or whether we will permit aggression in the Middle East.” The time lias conic, Bridges said, when we must not only say what we mean, but we must mean what f we say. In moving portable calf pens, Extension Service dairymen re commend starting on the lower side of slopes and working up the slope. They explain that surface drainage is thus away from the clean area. t THE YANCEY RECORD NOTICE OF SERVICE OF PUBUGATION In The Superior Court ' Before the Clerk STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF YANCEY IN THE MATTER OF THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF BOSE DAY LeFEVRE TO CARL LONG SWARTZ, EARLE W.
