Virginia 5 Revenue
Up II Million Over
Last Fiscal Year
By the Associotsd Press

RICHMOND, June 24.-Despite
a SIS million lag in corporation
income taxes, Virginia's general
fund revenues for the first IL
months of the current fiscal year
ran nearly $12 million ahead of
the like period last year.
The State controllers monthly
tabulation of revenue figures to-
day showed the general fund took
in $82, ,800.851 from all sources in
the months July through May.
This is a rise of $11 ,627 ,902 over
July May income in fiscal 1949.
Tax Yields Increase.
Counting all revenues from gen.
eral, special and institutional
funds, the States 11-month col
lections were 289,124.715, an in
crease of $23,101,444.
Most taxes showed increased
yields, generally rejecting higher
rates that became fully effective
in the current years returns for
the first time.
The principal exception was
the income tax on corporations,
which like other levies was in
creased by the 1948 general assem-
bly, but which, unlike some of the
others, registered the increase last
year too. Collections from the
corporate income levy were down
81. .493,531 to $l3,559,381 for the
IL months.
June May Reverse Trend.
1t is still possible that June re-
ports will reverse the downward
trend in corporate income returns,
but state officials aren't optimistic.
They have forecast a drop of
some 81 million for the year from
this source, as a result of antici-
pated declines in corporation
earnings.
The latest figures also raised
some doubt as to whether the gen.
eral fund revenues would reach
the total of about $95 million fore
cast for the year. However, the
$82, 300, 900 figure for IL months
doesn't include the states share
of ABC profits, which will be
about SIS million. The ABC profits
and June collections may very
well push the total past sos mil
lion. May collections for the fund
were $8.295,534, compared with
$8,l02, ,764 in 1949.

Spring Crop Stops
Cheatgrass
BY r. L. WARDEN
Extension Weed Control Specialist

DURING THE PAST several
years cheatgrass in winter wheat
has increased to a point in some
areas where it is as serious a weed
as some of the broadleaved ANIMALS
were before 2,4-D came into the pic
ture. Cheatgrass is not controlled
selectively in grain by any weed
killing chemicals known.
There are probably three reasons
which have combined to cause this
rapid increase in cheatgrass. These
are ID continuous production of
winter wheat, (2) permitting cheat
grass to seed in the fallow, and 90
reduced competition from broad
leaved weeds has allowed each
cheatgrass plant to increase its seed
yield in much the same manner as
wheat yields have been increased
by 2,4-D.
Lucky Weaknesses
Cheatgrass has two definite weak
nesses in its life cycle that can be
used very effectively for it's con-
troll In wheat. These weaknesses are
