Agencies 'Finagling'
With Budget SIashes
Warned by Bridges
Committee to, GO After
Officials Who Cut Services
To Raise Public Howl
BY Harold B. Rogers

Chairman Bridges OF the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee
today announced his unit will
go after" officials of the Execu-
tive branch of the Government
who misrepresent Congressional
appropriation cuts"
Senator Bridges charged that
"finagling" government employees
often have deliberately applied ap-
preparation cuts to necessary serv-
ices in order to raise public howl, "
This, he charged, was part OF a
smear campaign" by agencies In
the executive branch of the govern
ment to misrepresent the effect OF
congressional appropriation cuts to
the public.
Senator Bridge mentioned none
by name.
These subversive attacks by the
Governments own employees" he
declared ARE dangerously destruc-
tive of public confidence.
Economy Efforts Cited.
They undermine every serious
effort on the part lof economy
minded members of the Congress to
see to it that the American tax
payer gets a full dollars worth for
every dollar spent in taxes.
The New Hampshire Senator, in
charging that there were numerous
instances where departmental budg-
ct cuts mad been deliberately ap-
piled to necessary and proper public
services" said:
by doing this they have proved
that they are past masters of the
squeeze play. At the same time. they
have shown bad administrative
leadership.
These men are engaged in what
is much too popular a game here
in Washington, that of pryine
money from the Federal treasury.
Action Is Pledged.
The Appropriations Committee, Its
chairman said, lis hereby serving
notice that it will hereafter go after
all agencies and departments who
misrepresent Congressional appro'
priation cuts
Senator Bridges declared too otter
it had been the practice of bureaus
in limiting their services to thu
public, to explain that their actor
is due to budgetary curtailment.
"Entrenched public employees whit
scheme day and night to hold ane
expand their jobs" the Senator
said, have become too adept Al
distortinog the intentions of tn,
elected representatives of the PEG.

they knew nothing to confirm re-
ports the Russians are erecting

halt illegal traffic on country roads.
The newspaper reported feverish
activity in woods along the zonal

North Lewisburq Methodist
Church

In 1852 the General Conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal
c h ur C h met in Boston. The
church was then small and one
of its chief interests was to pro-
vide preachers for the Great West
which was opening up rapidly.
One of the most interesting dele
gates to that conference was old
Peter Cartwright who had spent
then about so years as a presiding
elder chiefly in Illinois. He was
a quaint charter and a great
preacher. All wondered how
BoStonians would take to him
but the report is that most all of
the fine cultured folks were so
fascinated with his manner of
speaking, and they all heard him
many times during that whole
month of May when the confer
ence was in session, that they all
fell in love with him.

DELINQUENT TAX
DRIVE PROGRESSING

Delinquent taxes amounting to
approximately $4,000 were
found due in Union County dur
ing the recent drive by State
examiner J. c. Wilkins, County
Auditor Frank McCurdy stated.
The check up went as far back
as seven years in some cases but
for the most part took in three
year payments. Six hundred de-
linquent tax accounts were found
and letters were sent to each.
The actual amount from delin-
quent taxes and new applicants
who had never filed before was
$15,951.28.
Thus far, approximately 500
persons have reported to the
auditors office to pay their taxes
or to explain why they no longer
pay personal taxes. At the begin
ming Mr.. Wilkins sent out 900
cards to persons believed to be
delinquent in the personal taxes.
The last hundred who did not re-
port when asked were solicited
by the collector.
Collections so far total a little
more than half, but the full col
lection is expected to be in within
a short time. The above tax col
lections include only those due
prior to July 1.

35 Farms Adopt
Contour Flowing
Soil District Helps
Protect Bottom Land

Seven hundred seventy-two
acres of land on 35 farms have
been plowed on the contour in
Union County, according to fig
ures released from the office of
the Union Soil Conservation Dis
trict.
C. G.. Phillips a n d Ross S.
Dodd, of the u. S. Soil Conserve
ton Service assigned to the Dis
trict, have staked the key-.een-
tour lines and marked all head
lands for the farmers plowing
on the contour.
Contouring not only reduces
erosion but has increased yields
of grain crops from 5 to 10 bush
els per acre on practically every
test conducted in recent years.
BY slowing tn e movement of
water, more of it soaks into the
soil and is held in reserve below
the plow layer. AS the corn
reaches maturity, it draws upon
this reserve of moisture to in
crease yields.
Forty-five acres of bottom land
are in the process of being pro-
tected this week on the H. j.
Ridge Farm in Taylor Township.
In the past, this acreage has been
flooded by the creek on one side
and by the water from the slop-
ing upland on the other side.
With the engineering and plan
ming services of the Union Soil
Conservation District, Mr.. Ridge
has constructed a dixie along the
creek to prevent the current
from the creek washing across
the bottom land and has con-
structed large diversion ditch
at the base Of the sloping land,
above which empties water into
a constructed sod waterway.
According 10 c. G. Phillips of
the U. S. Soil Conservation Ser
vice, this operation costs less
than one-fifth of the value of the
land protected. BY contouring
the sloping upland, the velocity
of the water entering the diver
soin bitches is greatly reduced.
BY following a good rotation con-
tanning legume-grass meadow
every thre years on the bottom
land and one with legume-gra
meadow two years out OF four
on the sloping land, the produc-
tivity of this soil will be greatly
increased.

Delaware Man Invents Chopper
To Restore Humus During Harvest

Loss of valuable humu S
through burning of soybeans
stems after combining operation
may be eliminated on many
farms through the use of a new
chopping attachment invented
by Delaware man. The device
was developed by Cecil B. Hob
son, 104 University ave-, and is
being manufactured by the Ohio
Tubelar Products Co., of London.
The attachment is the fruit of
experiments conducted over the
last eight years and is now being
manufactured in quantity for
sale through dealers.
Fundamentally, the attachment
is a small hopper that collects
stems thrown out of the COM
bine and chops them into small
pieces by means of two lawn
mower-like blades. The blades
operate at about 1900 revolution
per minute.
Use on Wheat Too
1t operates on wheat with
equal efficiency.
After passing through the
blades, stem and straw frag-
mentS are scattered over h e
ground and are washed into the
soil with the first rain. Another
advantage is that grain can be
drilled without clogging drills,
the fragments being too small
