Spending Doubles In Ten Years
In le«' than ten years the federal budget
has 3hor up from $100 billion to more than
$200 billion, and most any taxpayer will
willingly agree that's quite a Jump.
You *ee, it took nearly 190 years for fe-
deral spending to reach rhe $l00-bllllon le-
vel. Everything 1c moving faster nowadays.
Now that rhe budget has breached the stu-
pendous mark of $200 billion, taxpayers should
be taking a close look at where their money
os gpomg. Let s examine two categories.
First, defense sperdlng. At $73.6 billion
for fiscal 1971, this will claim the smallest
proportion (37 per cent) of any federal bud-
get since 1950.
Second, spending for human resources. A-
bout $81.9 billion will be devoted to the
betterment of people--education, manpower
training, health, income security, veterans'
benefits, and welfare programs too numer-
ous to list.
As spending In the defense category goes
down more needs can be met In the human
and environmental ¡*reas, ind that's as It
should be. But rhe sheer enormity of feder-
al spending demands that rhe Corgresc and
the various administrative agencies set prio-
rities. Every appropriation should be scru-
tinized with rhe urmost care. And deficit
spending should never again be tolerated ex-
cept in a national emergency because we
have learned the hard way that excessive
federal spending and unbalanced budgets lead
to Inflation.
Just becauce the taxpayers. Individual and
corporate, dig up $200 billion for Washington
to spend doesn't mean there's so much money
we can afford to be careless. That fast-
approaching April 13th date with Uncle Sam
reminds us that he's our rich uncle only
because we give him the money. Let's keep
an eye on how he spends ltl

Strikes And The Public
The increasing frequency of strikes which
affect the entire community has aroused the ire
of the public and broughr demands that "some-
thing be done about It".
Some suggestions have been offered as solu-
tions, like compulsory artrttrarlon, which In
practice presents mor« problems than it sol-
ves. The only effective solutions are those
directed at the real roor of the problem, ex-
cessive union power.
The "emergency «trlke" provision of Title II
of Taft-Hartley present" an effective and res-
ponsible mechanism for dealing with a dif-
ficult problem because it protects the national
health and safety of the public, and at the same
time retains the free collective bargaining pro-
cess In American Industry.
Title II has attained Its basic objectives In
preserving rhe narlon from work stoppages of
a calamitous character without undercutting
Jhe collective-bargaining process.
In speaking of collective bargaining, Theophll
C. Kamholz, former general counsel of theNa-
tlonal Labor Relarions Board and labor re-
lations expert, says; "Collective bargaining is
in trouble because more power is concentrated
in tne hands of labor leaders than in man-
agement leaders. Unions are seeking coali-
tion bargaining, banding together to exact
even more, to exert ruthless power.
"The Inevitable result of the exercise of
this kind of power i« that the price of labor
become c rigged, with little regard for skill
and ability."
The retention of Title II of the Taft-Hartley
Act is in the best Interest of the public
and should nor be sacrificed for political ex-
pediency. Rather Congress should concentrate
on the overdue reform of the provisions of
labor laws which were Intended to balance the
power of labor and management.

don't end your day
with half a bath
No need to have your bathtime cut short because
the hot water ran out. Half-a-bath disappoint-
ments won't happen with an electric water heater
working in your home. Even if you've washed
loads of dirty clothes, a sink full of dishes, and
all the children, there's still plenty of hot water
left for you. An electric water heater is safe,
clean, flameless, too. And it's so economical to
operate with low-cost electricity from Seseo.

COLUMN
The program committee of
the Cherokee County Live-
stockmen's Association pl-
ans to meet Thursday night,
March 5, to make plans for
additional promotion of the
better forage program they
are sponsoring the first half
of 1970. The committee will
also be planning programs
and activities of the Live-
stockmen's Association for
the second half of the year.
The committee will meet in
the County Agent's office at
7:30 p.m. The members of
this committee are Orvan B.
Jones, Chairman, J. D. Kel-
sey, Edwin Northcutt, BUI Av-
era, Tony Murray, M. J. Fl-
orence and W. T. Rogers.
It looks like fertilizer may
be a little more costly this
year, so it will be even more
Important to know exactly what
the soil needs so that your
money will be well used.
There's still time to get
a soil test for most crops.
However, Dr. Carl Gray at
the Texas A&M University
Laboratory says It is taking
10 days to two weeks to pro-
cess samples as they are get-
ting in from 150 to 200 sam-
ples per day. So get your sam-
ple taken as soon as possible.
We have sample boxes and in-
formation sheets available in
my office.
Those of you who still need
a herd sire will want to re-
member the Fifth All-Breed
Bull Sale to be held Saturday,
March 7, at the CatUe Dome
in Tuler. The sale starts at
10:00 a.m. Sixty bulls with 12
different breeds represented
are consigned to the sale.
Most of the bulls are 2 years
and older.
A few pear and plum trees
are already blooming and pea-
ches will be blooming soon.
If you haven't already plan-
ned a spray program for your
trees now is the time to do
it. You may have already
missed one or two sprayings,
but starting now will sUll as-
sure you a pretty good crop
as far as controlling insects
and diseases is concerned.
Ask my office oí L-245, Te-
xas Guide for Controlling In-
sects and Diseases on Fruits
and Nuts. Those of you that
have only a few trees may
wish te ask your insecticide
dealer about an "all purpose"
type naterial that contains both
insecticides and fungicides.
Then follow the spraying sch-
edule outlined in the leaflet.
1 was talking last Friday with
Dwight Hall, our Area Land-
scape Horticulturist. He
says it is still not too late to
transplant many of our native
shrubs and trees like redbud,
dogwood and sassafras. They
can be transplanted until they
start budding out. Then you
many wish to delay moving
them until they have dropped
their bloom. However, he says
he has had some success in
transplanting some of them
even during bloom.

Dairymen who are interested
in feeding thyroprotein for in-
creased milk production will
want to examine all aspects
closely. Below is a quote from
the February Dairy Newslet-
ter prepared by our Exten-
sion Dairy Specialist, Arch
Meekma and Jimmy Davis.
"When thyroprotein is fed,
the question of interpretation
of response following thyro-
protein feeding needs special
consideration. Usually when
any type of feed additive is
promoted, a program of good
management is advocated a-
long with it. Thus, Increased
production and improved ef-
ficiency may occur whether
the additive is helpful or not.
In the case of thyroprotein, it
is always recommended (and
it should be) to provide extra
feed - 3 to 5 pounds daily.
Only when a distinction is
made between extra grain and
thyroprotein effect can the
true effect of thyroprotein
feeding be assessed - a con-
sideration often not made
clear in the popular press.
When such an appraisal is
made, most researchers feel
that the practice has little
practical value for most herds
and that the dairyman could
obtain about the same pro-
duction for the lactation per-
iod by just feeding the extra
grain without thyroprotein."

THE
LIONS
Lion Wiley Clark concluded
his programs tor the month
bf February with the Rev.
Phillip Bryan, Dean of the
North American Theological
Seminary, as our speaker.
His subject was "Ferment In
The Ministry" with some
criticism of the Churches and
ministers. He stated the
following: Some feel that the
Church is dead and on the way
out The percentage of Ch-
urch membership has gone
down this past year for the
first time ever. This is cau-
sing many ministers to leave
the ministry and also causing
the Churches to not be able to
meet their budget. Many of
the ministers are leaving the
ministry to go into the teach-
ing field, government service
and state supported insitiu-
tions. One of the reasons is
more money and another is
that they feel that they can
better serve the people. Some
feel that non-church positions
will give them a chance for
real service without any str-
ings attached. Unrest in the
ministry is no different than
unrest in everything else we
are experiencing in the Uni-
ted States.
The 21 largest Lions Clubs
in the International Associa-
tion still have as their lead-
er the Monterrey, Mexico
Club which had 1,066 mem-
bers as of January 31, 1970.
The Lubbock, Texas Club is
nest with 414 members. Th-
ree more international youth
camps scheduled for this
summer. All camps are des-
igned to advance the cause of
international understanding
of the host country's culture.
The newly reported camps
are in France, The Nether-
lands and Denmark. Using
France as an example the
Sponsor countries must pay
the transportation costs to
the recepUon points, but Fre-
nch Lions will pay all expen-
ses for the stay in the coun-
try.
