U. 5. Spending
Attacked by2
Retail Groups
Federal Sales Tax
Backed at Hearing
Before Senate Unit
By Cecil HoIlond

Representatives of two Nation
wide retail organizations today
assailed the Governments "free
and easy spending policy" as they
testified before the Senate Finance
Committee on a new tax-boosting
bill.
The testimony came from Ralph
w. Button of the National Retail
Dry Goods Association and John
F. Lebor. representing the Ameri-
can Retail Federation.
Both spoke out against a manu-
facturer's excise tax and said a
general Federal sales tax at the
retail level would be more de-
Isirable. The manufacturers ex-
else tax was proposed yesterday by
the National Manufacturers Asso-
citation.
Mr.. Button said the proposed
1881 revenue bill, designed to pro-
lduce about 81 billion annually, in
Idicates the Government is Ito be
conducted as usual"
Must Cut Spending.
Unless the strongest efforts are
Iexerted by our Government to fol-
low the advice it is giving its citi-
Izens to curtail unnecessary SPEND
Ing" Mr.. Button testified, I'VE
shall soon find that we have as
effectively destroyed our form of
government from within as could
be accomplished by our enemies
from without"
He said this country's strength
has been built up through the
thrift of the people and added:
This fine heritage is being
|squandered away by an extrava-
giant government"
Mr.. Lebor told the government
that Federal, state and local taxes
are now consuming more than 80
Iper cent of the national income.
This, he added, emphasizes "the
necessity of abandoning a free and
easy spending policy before addi-
tional tax burdens are thrust upon
the economy"
Oppose Retroactivity.
Both witnesses argued vigorous
ly against making any of the
proposed taxes retroactive and
opposed numerous other features
of the House-passed revenue bill.
They said manufacturers ex-
else tax would be pyramided
throughout the levels of distribu-
ton and would work a hidden
hardship on consumers.
Such a tax was proposed yes
terday by Charles r. Sigh. jr.,
chairman of the MANS taxation
committee. but it seemed to have
little chance of being adopted.
| Chairman George said the
House would never go along with
it" and added he did not think the
committee would write such a levy
into the pending tax bill "at this
time"
A Republican member remarked
that you didn't see any of us
throwing our hats in the air,
did you?"
Further Endorsement Seen.
Despite the GOODNESS of the law
makers toward the proposal, it
was expected to receive further
Endorsement from other industry
witnesses in the Senate hearings.
Mr.. Sigh, furniture manu-
facturer, told the Senators that
the proposed levy would have the
same effect as a Federal sales tax
since it would be passed on to con-
sumers. He emphasized, however,
that it would be easier to COL
lect. Only food items would be
exempted.
The witness had no precise esti-
mate of the revenue such a levy
would yield. He said under ques-
tioning that it should produce
about $18 billion a year-an
amount he estimated would soon
be needed to balance the Federal
budget with expense outlays now
soaring.

the soil is obtained. The mush-

mushroom opens. The veil is the
thin covering which stretches
from the stem to the edge of the
cap. A mushroom is one Of the
most perishable products on the
market. It does not take kindly
to heat and must have air. The
next time you buy a box of mush-
rooms notice how the corners of
the box are cut out to allow for
circulation of air. Never, never
peel a mushroom, say the men
who are in the business. You lose
valuable flavor when you do;
simply wash and dry.
Mushrooms are not high in

gliadin, the protein found in
wheat. They contain iron and
copper, plus an excellent plant
source of nicotine acid and ribo-

shines down the length of the
beds to enable the picker to see
the mushrooms ready for gath
Iering.
There's a lot more to this busi-
ness Of growing mushrooms than
meets the eye. The first consid-
Grafton in preparing the beds for
growing is to be sure they are
clean and free of all diseases and
insects. The beds are scrubbed,
Scraped and cleaned with special
wire brush to get rid of all the
old compost. After the boards are
cleaned they are laid out to dry,
then sprayed with a suitable dis
Iinfectant. The beds are filled with
la properly fermented compost cit
lis very important the depth of
the compost is uniform all over)
and the room closed up as tightly
as possible as the sweating period
begins. The time the house stays
warm after it reaches peak heat
depends on the condition of the
manure and the moisture. The
Temperature of the beds should
never be allowed to go over las
degrees F. When the temperature
has come down to 80 degrees F.
it is time to plant the spawn.
From the laboratories of the
Mushroom Supply Co. spawn is
shipped all over the world, with
the exception of Russia and her
satellite countries. It requires one
bottle of spawn to every so square
feet of growing area or about eight
bottles to a bed. There are two
methods for planting the spawn.
In the case of tobacco spawn,
it is broken up into pieces
the size of walnut, distributed
evenly over the surface of
the bed, then tucked into the
compost to the depth of about 2
inches. When grain spawn is used
1t can be planted by broadcasting
on the top of the bed if the mois-
ture is sufficiently high.
Moisture, temperature, ventila-
ton and insect control is highly
important when the beds are left
to spawn. It takes about three
weeks before the spawn has run
out to the sideboards and inspec-
ton shows an all-over silky, blue
gray looking growth. Now is time
to add the casing soil. Casing a
bed means covering it with q Ia
inch layer of specially selected
and prepared soil.
In about 10 days or two weeks
after casing the first mushrooms
will start to appear on the sur
face. At this stage the beds are
given light watering every other
day until the right moisture in

but they have been used as q food
for centuries. Records show they
were cultivated during the reign
Of Louis XIV Q638-1715) and by
the year 1867 the business had
grown to such an extent that one
cave on the outskirts of Paris was
reported as producing 5000
pounds daily.
Statistics show that we'll over
81 million pounds of mushrooms
are now being produced in this
country per year. There are ap-
proximately 800 commercial grow
ers in the United States with halt
Of this number located in the
Toughkenamon Valley area around
Kennett Square. Pa. It is from
this section that half of the mush-
rooms used in the United States
are grown.
Not long ago I spent a day visit
ing the mushroom farms over near
Kennett Square to see how this
industry functioned, how the
mushrooms were grown, packed,
and shipped for the retail trade
and for canning. We started out
bright and early from Philadel-
phia for the farms. I'm still bit
confused why they call them
farms" because a farm seems
to consist of a frame or cinder
block house 18 feet wide and 60
feet long and six "beds" high.
A double mushroom house means
one with IL beds six on each
side Of a central runway. Con-
trary to the popular idea that
mushrooms need moist, humid.
badly ventilated room, they need
quite the opposite growing condi-
tionS. The mushroom does not de-
velop in too high a humidity and
will not develop at all with in
sufficient ventilation. They need
a controlled temperature of be-
tween So and so degrees and a
considerable amount of watering
is necessary in all stages of grow
ing. At one farm we visited the
grower had been up until l am.
watering his mushroom beds. If
q grower wants to slow up pro-
duction. he simply quits watering
and lets the bed dry up.

busy picking an unusually fine
