Measures on Budget

Democrats Hit Plans.
Gov. McKeldin's $196-million
budget for the next fiscal year
and the 12-year road-building
program are encountering the
ire of economy-minded Demo-
Gratis. who say they are deter
mined to prevent Gov. McKeldin
from building up a surplus so he
might declare tax cut in 1854
an election year. Gov. McKeldin
is a Republican.
Democrats in both houses are
working out ways either to cut
the budget Or provide tax relief
through estimated surpluses,
which are figured to run to
nearly $12 million for this fiscal
year.
Gov. McKeldin is firmly
against such a move at this time.
. The roads program, which
would cost the taxpayers nearly
81 billion in construction costs,
interest charges on bonds and
outright grants to the counties
and Baltimore City for their
road work, is getting a thorough
screening by the House Ways
and Means Committee.
The opposition centers largely
on the financing end. Some
contend the State doesn't need
to add S. to 81 to the license
fees and another penny on the
gasoline tax-that half that
amount probably would be suf-
ficient. Others say the State
shouldn't commit itself to such
an ambitious program over that
period of years.

qualities are superior to that of the
native stock. Chicks and Matching
eggs of imported stock are in excel
lent demand and bring about five
times as much as the native stock.
Production IN Villages
1t is estimated that Iran at present
produces less than egg per person
per week and less than 1 chicken
per person per year. The United
States, on the other hand, produces
over 400 eggs per person per year
or slightly over eggs per person
per week and about 10 chickens per
person per year
Practically all the poultry pro-
duction in Iran at present is in small
village flocks of S to hens which
feed largely on a scavanger basis
and from table scraps. Some grain
may be fed at times.
Flock replacement is based almost
entirely on hen incubation and
brooding, with several villagers US
ing the same male with their small
flocks of hens.
The housewife, as in the states,
receives most of the income from
poultry over the table requirements
and, therefore, takes an active inter-
est in the feeding and management
of the flock. This poultry income
is not subject to the usual deduction
made for the village owner, etc., as
on crops.
Each typical village is surrounded
by high mud or adobe wall and
each house sheltering family also
has its yard or garden surrounded
by a wall. The chickens usually
range within this home compound
or may scale the wall for neighbor-
hood visiting.
The flock is usually housed in O

Al Home Identification Project
Put Sparkle Into This Home
By KATHALEEN PAIGE, Madison County

I STARTED MY home beautifi-
cation work as a All project just
after we moved to our present home
two years ago. Both the house and
yard were rundown. The yard hadn't
been cleaned for several years;
there was no fence and no lawn.
A willow had become overgrown in
front of the house and a large stump
near the front door also needed re-
moving.
So we started by cutting down
the willows and pulling the stumps,
filling the holes with new dirt. Then
we built fence around the yard.
We hauled in decomposed granite
to mix with the heavy alkaline clay
soil in the yard. I filled the holes
and leveled the yard, and planted
lawn grass.
AS the lawn grew, we hauled in
more dirt and I started flower beds
along the edges of the lawn and be-
side the house. The first fall, we
completed building garage. Both
it and the house were finished in
white stucco. We also replaced the
wooden sidewalk from house to
garage with a cement walk, put up
new c1otheslines and re-shingled the
house.
The second year.. I did more gen.
eral cleaning. I also started other
flower beds to make the yard and
house more attractive. The project
isn't complete yet. still have many
things I want to do and some have
to do-more lawn to plant, additional
