Do Not Burn
Your Leaves
a
Mary homeowners have money
tc burn this fall season and that’s
just what they're doing.
When setting fire to fallen au
burn leaves, they might as well be
i«iiting dollars, according to tree
experts.
For grounded leaves are valuable
assets to lawns, trees and shrub
bery.
And the smoke signals sent up
Inwn the leaf piles throughout the
■■bon spell out the warning word:
-Waste."
Those homeowners who turn over
a new leaf and save their trees’
discarded foliage gain one of the
finest types of garden humus for
nourishing the hungry soil.
Raked into a pile and develop
ed a.- cpmpost, the leaves produce
a high-grade lawn and garden top-
dressing and sav£ their landlord the
trouble of tending a bonfire.
If a compost heap is not desired,
many loaves can be used as a mulch
ar. i evergreens or other plants
!h; » hke some winter protection.
And folks with powerdriven leaf
puK e: ;/ers may simply plow into
the eaves and cut them up into tiny
Pits ’hat >oon add to the soil'humus.
V..or.tire.', besides destroying po
tential soil humus, have a way of
broding the branches of nearby
or everhangiing trees. A bright, hot
firr may look fine in the autumn
tw lieht. but it can result in trees
that are badly damaged.

CLINTON,
S. C.
New York, Nov. 22—The nation’s
business activity in 1954 will match
the 1953 level almost exactly, ac
cording to a forecast today by econ
omists of the Prudential Insurance
Co.
They estimated that next year’s
gross national products »will ap :
proximate the rate of 365 billion
dollars a year of the last querter
j this year.
Dr. Gordon W. McKinley and his
staff of economists at' Prudential
said that not all phases of Ameri
can business will follow this year’s
; course. There will be declines in
government purchases, capital ex
penditures and home building plus
a reduction in inventory accumula
tion, they said, but these will be
offset in large measure by a sharp
increase in consumer buying.
x A very slight increase :n the
number of employed workers due
to adjustments .in some industries
was forecast for 1954 and at the
same time a decline itr the average
work week from 49.7 to 40.1 hours.
Despite this the economists fore
cast a probable average wage rise
of some six cents an hour.
These . factors, combined with a
moderate increase in other forms
of consumer income (rents, inter
est, dividends, etc.) and a cut in
income taxes are expected to bring
about a total of some 258 billion
j dollars of disposable income.
Allowing for savings at the cur- i
rent ratio, the economists con
cluded that consumers will spend
240 billion dollars in 1954, or six
■ billion above the present rate,
i The spending of the extra six
billion will give the American
i public the first real break since
| 1950. With it, the economists expect
! a decline in consumers’ prices of
i about 2 per cent. next year. This
i drop, combined with an expected
, increase in personal income, will
1 mean a substantial gain in real pur-
I chasing power.
‘‘The year 1954, therefore, looks
: to us like a year which can be
approached with confidence and
considerable optimism,’’ the fore-
i cast said. ‘‘There is no basic rea
son why it should not tufn out to be
; a prosperous year. Only an un
reasonable pessimism and a lack
; of .faith in the staying power of
our free enterprise system can pre-
j vent us from enjoying in 1954 the
abundant economic goods which
our economy is capable of supply-
I ing us," ■ - -
