The Milwaukee Braves averaged 2 hours, 24 minutes for their 9 inning games last season. It was the best time in the National League. By STANLEY C. HOPE President ' Nat'l Assn. Of Mfgri. NEW YORK (UPH If you were to stop the next man you see on the street and ask him why the federal government is spending so much money, he probably would blame it all on the cold war and our need for strong national defense. This is quite a natural assump tion, for we are spending billions upon billions to keep our military might second to none. And rightly so! But If you will dig into the fed eral budget figures, you will find some startling facts. You will find that defense is not responsi ble for the major gains in federal spending in recent years; rather it is the civilian and domestic programs. Here are the figures From 1955 to 1959 military spending increased $5.5 billion but non-military spending zoomed $10.9 billion about twice as much. This huge increase of $10.8 bil lion that's more than It cost to run the entire federal government in 1940 went for such things as billions for: grants-in-aid to the states; supporting the price of farm products; public housing airports, rivers and harbors; holding down farm acreage; soil conservation and veterans' hos pitalization. Yes, the multitude of federal departments and agencies are costing more and more. They're starting more welfare programs, hiring more people to run them, and spending billions to help rel atively small groups of citizens at the expense of all taxpayers. And the Congress often even increases the budget requests of the agen cies. A searching study of the I960 budget made by the Government Economy Committee of the Na tional Association of Manufactur ers offers convincing evidence that it can be trimmed $3 billion under the President's $77 billion level without placing it in the 'austerity" category. And this without even touching .military expenditures, Here are a few of the major cuts the NAM proposes: in agri cultural price supports, $490 mil lion; rural electrification pro grams, $335 million; public assist ance, $203 million; soil conserva tion, $456 million; veterans' hos pitalization, $250 million. You may say, veterans de serve' the best hospital care possible." But did you know that almost two-thirds of all the pa ticnts in Veterans AMministraion hospitals are receiving care and treatment for illnesses and disa bilities not related to their mili tary service? And you may say, soil conser vation is a good thing, too." But did you know that the federal government has three separate soil conservation programs and that they have been allotted a total of $701 million for fiscal 1960? For years, the duplication and over-lapping of two of these agencies have been amples of how your tax money is being spent inefficiently and ineffectively. All of us should realize that the government gets bigger and bigger only at the expense of the private economy. And one of the major questions facing us today is whether we, as a nation, want to have more government growth or more economic growth. What this growing nation needs is more business, not more gov ernment. We need the things that business creates more jobs, more goods, .more incomes, more opportunities. These good things are within our reach, lo obtain them we must put the brake on govern ment spending. One of the best ways to do this is to provide forward-scheduling of tax rate re form as provided in the Herlong Baker bills. This legislation would force the legislators in Washing Ion to be more careful of our tax dollars. But if government economy and lax reform are to come about, we citizens must speak our minds. We must let our senators and congressmen know that we are dead set against letting the fed eral spending tide engulf our economy. MOVING?

This year the exceptionally dry spring has caused farmers to start irrigation earlier than usual. The aim of irrigation is to main- lain a continuous supply of- soil moisture throughout the root zone of the plants in the pasture mix ture, points out Tulelake Farm Ad viser Ken Bagholt of the Univer sity of California Agricultural Ex tension Service. This is not a sim ple task because the different plants have varying depths of root zone. Infrequent, heavy irrigations will encourage the deeper-rooted plants in pastures but will eliminate the shallow-rooted ones, such as iadino clover. This clover is one of t h e most important plants in many pasture mixes. To avoid losses of such clover. many growers make sure that the ton six inches ot sou do not be come completely dry. They use a shovel, soil tube, or probe to determine the dryness of this top six inches of sou, and guide them selves accordingly in timing their irrigations. Gordon Kensler, art supervisor, leaching art to children.' for Klamath Falls schools, has been invited as guest instructor for the 1959 summer session at West ern College of Education, Belling ham, Washington.
