Ragweed
Hayfever
One of the most common caus
es of hayfever is ragweed pol
len, one of the most widespread
allergens known, says E. M.
Rahn, associate piofessor of hoi
ticulture at the University of
Delaware People who are sensi
tive to this pollen suffer severe
ly.,with sneezing, swollen mem
branes and watering eyes all
symptoms of hayfever.
Both species of ragweed en
courage hayfever suffering, says
Rahn Common ragweed, which
glows at least three feet high,
has green fern-like leaves with
tiny greenish-white flowers Gi
ant ragweed grows from six to
ten feet high and has one, three
or five lobed leaves with green
i'h-white flowers. During August
and September, both plants re
lease huge quantities of dusty
yellow pollen into the areas
where people live, work, play or
travel to and from their jobs.
Ragweed is especially preva
lent in areas where the soil sur
face has been recently disturb-

ed This may occur in construc
tion, and grading areas and m
other areas where the soil sur
face is bare. Ragweed is also
fanly common near housing and
apartment complexes before
these developments are land
scaped
Since hayfever and asthma, of
ten an outgrowth of allergic re
actions, are considered to be one
of the most serious chronic res
piratory diseases in the United
States, it is important to elim
inate as much ragweed as pos
sible
Rahn urges property owners,
tenants, gardeners, municipal of
ficials and highway officers to
eliminate ragweed on a year
round basis, and particularly
during the pollen producing sea
son. Control ragweed by spray
ing with 2,4-D or related com
pounds, but be particularly care
ful that drifting spray does not
damage other sensitive plants
Freshly emerged pollen is
most irritating to hayfever suf
ferers, says Rahn For those peo
ple, the critical factor is the pol
len concentration at nose level
Proper ragweed control can go
a long way in reducing the pol
len concentration and will bung
a good deal of relief to Dela
ware’s many hayfever sufferers
Unsound Loans
Threaten Farms,
Banker Warns
Low farm prices and too-easy
credit are going to spell disaster
for a number of farmers in the
months ahead, a banker and ag
ricultural economist said this
week.
Lindley Finch, vice-president
of the Continental Illinois Na
tional Bank & Trust Co., point
ed out at a press briefing that
many farmers may be overex
tended beyond the point of re
turn.
Finch, a widely known author
ity on farm credit, said there are
many mare sources of credit
open to farmers than there were
in the past These include co
operatives, Government agen
cies, finance companies, equip
ment manufacturers and faim
suppliers.
The extension of credit at ef
fective interest rates of 12 per
cent a year or higher makes the
farmer’s ability to pay debts out
of declining profits questionable,
he observed
Ultimately, the failure of the
small farmers must lead to more
corporate farms, which are more
efficient, have tax advantages and
can obtain large amounts of capi
tal, according to Finch
He said that many farmers
who are unsophisticated m ci ed
it management may bonow for
non-income producing facilities.
The various lenders may also be
unaware of how far the farmer
is going into debt
The agricultural debt is multi
plying at a rate 6 times faster
than during the period immedi
ately after World War II This
year’s debt is expected to total
$5O billion
The outlook now, Finch said,
is for a return to burdensome
farm surpluses. There is also
doubt, he added, about export
markets holding up because
more and more countries abroad
are becoming agriculturally self
sufficient
About a ton of ore must be
processed, in an average gold
mine, to obtain enough gold for
