Poor Alfalfa Stands
May Need Nitrogen,
Not PlOw

Many Of the poor new legume
stands, especially alfalfa, in Della
ware this spring may be saved by
some nitrogen fertilizer.
VIM. H. Mitchell, assistant agron-
Omist of the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service, explains why.
In many cases, there is poor or
unsuccessful incubation of the
seed last fall, due to the dry
weather. Mitchell says that about
40 new seedlings he has seen this
spring, only five or six were very
successful. The poor stands are
characterized by uneven growth
and a yellOwish color commonly
seen in nitrogen starved plants.
The hot, dry weather last fall
might have killed bacteria in the
inoculating material before they
could get into the root hairs where
they form the nodules or small
bumps which are necessary to the
plants. These bacteria living in as
sOciatiOn with the plant help con-
vert some of the $4,000 tons of
nitrogen above each acre of ground
Milford chronicle., 1953-06-05

into available nitrogen for the
plant. Without these bacteria work
ing along with the plant and sup
plying it with some badly needed
nitrogen, the plant grows slowly or
not at ALL
So, in poor stands due to lack of
the bacteria, the plants must tenn
pOFarily get their nitrogen from
some other source-the fertilizer
bag or farm manure.
Mitchell- suggests some supple
mental nitrogen applied as soon as
possible. If your alfalfa has been
topdressed with phosphorus and
potash (as in O-14-14 or O-2O-2O) it
will be necessary only to add nj
trOgen. One hundred pounds of am
mOnium nitrate per acre or equiva-
lent is recommended. If you have
not tOpdressed at all, Mitchell sug-
gests 1O-1O-1O or 1873 at $50 or 400
pounds per acre.

there will be so much money to
spend, and no more, they will
be forced to cut their figures"
Mr.. Fulton pointed out that
no successful private business
figures first how much monye it
is going to spend in a year and
then considers what its revenues
will be. It must give attention to
its probable revenues before it
can determine what it will spend.
There will be no cuts in their
budgets to amount to anything,
unless we tell the executive
agencies just what we are going
to do in the way of supplying
money through taxation" Mr..
Fulton predicted.
Mr.. Reed commented that Mr..
Fulton's resolution provides a
way to get a vote-and If Mr..
Fulton should ask for a petit
ton and get the requisite num-
ber of signatures, it would force
q vote.
Mr.. Fulton said he did not
intend to press for consideration
Of his resolution until after the
Easter recess in April. He is

Taft Hints Change
In Law Needed 10 Get
More Patronage Jobs
By the Assoeiated Prass

Senate Republican Leader Taft
limited yesterday Congress might
be asked to change the Civil
Service laws so more Republi-
cans can get Government jobs.
In an interview Senator Taft
praised President Eisenhower's
planned executive order taking
hundreds of policy-making jobs
off the Civil Service rolls.
This is a very wise order
but it doesn't solve the whole
Civil Service problem" the Ohio
Senator said. There may be
other things that need to be
done by Congress-"
Humphrey Opposes.
A Democrat, Senator Hum
phrey of Minnesota, decried the
presidential order as the begin
ming of a drive to turn Demo-
Gratis out of minor posts. He
said:
Once the Republicans start
picking away at Civil Service,
starting with the top jobs, they
soon will get down to where
they want to go-the postmasters
and the rank and file patronage
plums."
Carlson Lists Jobs.
Chairman Carlson of the
Senate's Civil Service Committee
said there are about 265, 1000 jobs
not classified now by the Civil
Service. He said these include
65, 900 positions paying $4,000 or
more a year and 100000 mostly
among the laboring ranks.
Senator Carlson said a list of
these jobs, plus another list
covering about $4,000 "unclassi-
fed" jobs outside the United
States, will be sent to Republi-
can leaders throughout the
country. The idea is to let them
know what patronage is avail
able.
Senator Taft said some Civil
Service law changes would be
necessary to reach some policy
level jobs now protected by
Civil Service. He estimated only
about 10 top jobs in each de-
partment and agency would be
affected.

Keating 10 Continue
Using Fair Play Plan
In Capitol Inquiries
by the Associoted Press

A "fair play" procedure pro-
posed for congressional investi-
cations got a trial run last week
and its sponsor plans to keep
it going.
It was. directed by Chairman
Heating of a House Judiciary
subcommittee which is investi-
eating the Justice Department.
It consisted of permitting an
outside lawyer to frame ques-
tions for witnesses whose testi-
mony did not harmonic with the
interests the lawyer represented.
Limits Cross Examining.
The attorney wasn't given the
privilege Of unlimited cross
examination. But he was allowed
to write questions which were
then asked by Mr.. Keating.
It was made clear the wit
nesSeS were not required to
answer some questions which he
considered unfair" and mot
Germane." And he wouldn't
permit the lawyer to argue about
it. At one point he threatened
to have the lawyer elected if he
persisted in interrupting.
That was the only rough spot
in the hearing. But it didn't
mar Mr.. Keating's enthusiasm
for continuing his experiment.
II still believe it is desirable
as long as it is not abused" he
said.
Backing Code of Procedure.
Mr.. Keating, New York Repub-
lican, is backing a bill to set up
a code of procedure for all House
investigating committees.
It would provide for relevant
testimony only. give witnesses
the right of legal counsel while
testifying, and afford an accused
person the right to cross-examine
witnesses whose testimony is
harmful to his reputation.
Mr.. Heating said he believes
it is important that congressional
committees continue the use Of
their lnvestigative powers. But
he also feels that a fair play"
code will help gain public con-
hdence and respect.

Eisenhower 10 Meet
Congress Leaders
For Taft Act Talks
By jones Y. Newton

President Eisenhower will talk
with congressional leaders to-
morrow on what to do about
amending the Taft Hartley labor
relations law.
He has invited the chairmen
of the Senate and House Labor
Committees to take part in his
regular meeting with the lead
ers of Congress at $3.50 am. The
committee chairmen are Senator
Smith. Republican, of New Jer-
Sey, and Representative McCon-
nell, Republican, of Pennsyl-
Vania.
Mr.. McConnell'S committee is
in the middle of three months of
hearings on revision of the six
year-old Taft-Hartly Act. The
Senate Labor Committee has
been exploring the situation pri-
vately, and will start public hear
ing March 10.
16 Changes by Taft.
Senate Majority Leader Taft,
who will take part in the White
House meeting. has introduced
bills calling for Is changes in
Taft-Hartley. of which he is CO.
author He and Mr.. Mcconnell
are said not to see eye-to-eye on
what to do with the labor law.
The latter repeatedly favors more
comprehensive changes.
Because of the difference of
views and the slowneSs of the
White House in submitting it's
recommendations, labor and in
dustry leaders now believe that
Taft-Hartley will not be changed
materially. if at all, during the
present session of Congress.
Secretary of Labor Durkin has
been working with White House
aides in drafting a program of
labor law changes for Gen Eisen-
hover to submit to Congress.
But this work was set back
seriously Friday when a special
labor-industry conference at the
Labor Department broke up in
complete disagreement.
The Eisenhower administra-
tion attempted to win agree
ment of organized labor and in
duStry leaders on changes which
should be made in Taft Hartley.
Blame Each Other.
The conference, however, ended
In a bitter word battle with the
management and union officials
blaming each other for the COL
lapse. The conferees were unable
even to agree on procedure for
their meeting.
TIL White House had been re-
lying on the meeting for sugges-
tons to Congress. . !.
:. It was regarded as unlikely
that Gen. Eisenhower will ate
tempt to revive the conference,
ct least as means of getting
advice on Taft-Hartley. But il.
was held certain the question
will be discussed tomorrow.
The President has said the
labor law should be changed in
several places.
