TtME H!GH
Plymouth automobile sales in
the Southwest are at a record
level and last rronth (May) hit
an a!) time high with volume up
97 per cent over the correspond-
ing period last year.
The May sales record topped
the previous high month, March.
1957. by 5 per cent and was ahead
of April sales total by 13 percent.
S. L. Noble, Southwest zone
manager of Chrysler's sates group.
in commenting on the record'Chrysler Corporation cars and
month said, "This achievement is !trucks in May were up 81 per cent
a strong indication that the ecun-'over May 1956.
omy in this area is firm. We ex- i since the introduction of the
pect sales to continue at this high j,93- yodels last October. Ply-
I mouth has moved back into third
Noble continued, it is obvious national automobile sales
to us that the auto market today t^nd according to the latest (June
reflects the widespread public ac- !i) Automotive News estimate has
ceptance of the advanced styling
and engineering features of the
new Plymouth and other cars of
the Chrysler Corporation."
Plymouth's sales gain contri-
buted to a strong showing by the
Chrysler Corporation in the
Southwest last month. Sales for
a production lead of 105,666 units

BANKRUPTCY
"Bankruptcy" camc from the
Latin "bancus" (a tradesman's
tabte) and "ruptus" (broken).
Under old English law a bank-
rupt was a trader who hid him-
self or did other things to de-
fraud his creditors.
Under the Roman law credit-
ors could cut up the bankrupt's
body and each take his due
share. Other iaws would put the
debtor in prison or in chains, al-
low whipping and hard labor.
East Indian creditors couid sell
the debtor and his ^amily into
slavery forever.
In the Middle Ages a bankrupt
was a criminal. Later he got
some rights: Though creditors
could force him to turn over al!
his goods, he would cscape
prison.
The basic concepts of our bank-
ruptcy law: (!) Prorate the bank-
rupt's assets among his creditors,
(2) discharge him from most of
his debts, and (3) "grubstake"
him by exempting certain things
from the creditors' reach.
The English wanted to dis-
courage extravagance, yet they
saw that a debtor's misfortune
couid trap him. So the early
bankruptcy laws grudgingly were
only Cor actual tradesmen.
Others had to take their medicine.
Our constitution gives Congress
power, first used in 1800, "to es-
tablish a Uniform . . . Law on the
subject of bankruptcies."
After Congress had passed and
then repealed three laws it
passed our present bankruptcy act
in 1898. It amended the act in
1938 to refine liquidation and re-
habilitation procedures.
Today the act relieves the deb-
tor through liquidation, or re-
organization and rehabilitation.
His creditors have always worried
about the debtor, but now the
state through law has declared
the public concern in putting
him back on his feet.
The Supreme Court has said
that the act aims to "relieve the
honest debtor from the weight
of oppressive indebtedness, and
permit him to start afresh, free
from the obligations . . consequent
upon business misfortunes."
This purpose is "it gives to the
honest but unfortunate debtor
who surrenders (his property) a
ntw opportunity in life and a
clear field for future effort . . "
Also the law puts creditors on
notice to watch out that their
debtors do not ovorextend them-
selves.
The National flower of the
United States is the goldenrod.
The impulse to do good is
worthwhile if the individual does
good.

Watermelon growers should be
on the watch for anthracnosc.
Weather conditions are right for
deveiopment of the disease. It
thrives under damp conditions
and unless control measures are
taken as soon as the disease is
discovered, severe losses may oc-
cur.
The disease first appears on
the old leaves near the crown of
the plant as small, dank brown or
black spots at about the time the
plant begins to form runners.
During damp weather the larger
spots on the leaves show small,
orange-pink, oily, heaped-up
masses of spores. In dry weather
the spore masses are grayish and
less noticeable.
In a severe outbreak, ail leaves
except a few at the tip end of the
runners may be kitled. The dis-
ease appears on melons and
causes sunken spots on the rind.
Symptoms may not be visible at
harvest time but may appear in
transit or at the mark"' The
slightest evidence of the disease
may cause buyers and inspectors
to turn the melons down, as they
decay rapidly.
At the first sign of the disease,
growers should begin control
measures. Sprays or dust should
be applied at 7 day intervais so
long as the weather remains
humid or rainy. Checik the fungi-
cides used and make sure dusts
contain 6 to 8 per cent Zincb or 7
per cent copper. From 15 to 30
pounds per acrc needed depending
on the strength of the material,
size of vines and weather condi-
tions. The disease is difficult to
controi once it becomes establish-
ed and power spray applications
are more effective than dusts.
For a tank mixed spray, two
quarts of Nabon pius one pound of
zince sulphate (25% zinc) in 100
gailons of water is recommended.
Avoid moving through fields or
touching plants when they are
wet.

Cooperator Bill Lee has already
fiiled his silos and is ready to
put up baled hay with the re-
growth that will put on as the
growing season advances. Good
moisture conditions have con-
tributed most to abundant forage
this spring.
Roy Kennedy, cooperator with
the Cherokee County Soil Con-
servation District, states that his
Kobe lcspedeza is growing well
and he is sure of lots of good
grazing iator on. Drouth has very
matcriaily reduced lespedeza pas-
tures in this area the last 5 or 6
years. Recent rains have reversed
this condition.

Cooperator Tom Butler states
that he applied chicken hous^
litter when he planted peas last
spring. His supply of litter was
not enough to fertilize the entire
field so he applied 300 lbs. of
5-10-5 to finish fertilizing the en-
tire crop of peas. This planting
was made on an old worn out fietd
on which cotton had been grown
for thirty years. No organic mat-
ter was present ;tnd the soi] struc-
ture was the type that cements.
Mr. Butter states that the )nly
difference <n his pea plandng was
the fertilizer and that where he
plowed under the chicken litter
and shavings he made money
whereas on the part where 5-10-3
was used he never picked a pea.
The organic matter md fer-
tilizer eiements that were present
in the chicken iitter works best on
depleted soil.
Cooperator Jeter I. Dean of
Barsoia Community has planted
58 acres of Coastai Bermuda. He
will plant a total of 67 acres.
He uses a planter of his own
design and make.
