By all means, dairy animals should
have free access to all the clean,
fresh water they want.
Other things could also be re-
sponsible for breeding troubles, but
if they persist, the local veterinari-
an should be consulted. His work
can be helped considerably if the
farmer will keep a record of the
cows heat periods on chart in the
milk house. These charts are avail
able free from the County Agent
and from the Breeding Techninian,
Lloyd McNatt,
The time of breeding in the heat
period is also important. Some
people will call the technician and
tell him "come to the farm right
away"-hopping to be sure that he
gets there. Any calls received by
1000 A. M, will be answered the
same day. Most cows are best
bred only after they have been in
heat for a period of at least 9

in some measures has been respon-
sible for failure to get cows with
calf. Cows normally breed easiest
during the fall months after a long
grazing season, and are hardest to
get bred in the spring months just
before the grazing season. The
difference is due to variations in
the amount of vitamin A in the
diet, as well as in variations of
proteins and carbohydrates. A diet
relatively high in carbohydrates
and low in protein, as well as one
low in minerals makes the difficult
conception. Good legume pastures
and legume hay crops contain re-
latively higher amounts of protein
and vitamin A. One of the big
advantages of silage for a farmer
is that he can store his forage in
prime condition even during wet
season.
Farmers who are finding breed
ing troubles should check the ra-
ton carefully. The grain mixture
should contain 1e6 of salt and 80
dicalnuim phosphate or steamed
bone meal to meet mineral require
ments. 1t also helps to keep a
mineral box containing the same
minerals under the loafing shed.

Tine heads of all departments and
the principal agencies of the Fede-
raj Government" to whom Presi-
dent Eisenhower directed his order
for further and immediate ecOnO-
mics in Government Spending, may
be pondering the exact meaning of
the word possible"
The President wrote: "It is alb
sOlutely essential that you begin
Immediately to take every possible
step progressively to reduce the
expenditures of your department
during the fiscal year 1854" And
in a subsequent paragraph, he or
dered critical review" of "pOss-
ible sources of waste, inefficiency,
duplication and excessive costs or
nOn-essential COSTS" This would
| seem to include everything from
| paper clips to whole bureaus.
And it better had, since the word
is that the blueprints for cutting
two billion more must be in by mid
september or VacatiOning
Congressman will receive an invi-
tation to come on back to work
about October the first. and get
to work on new debt ceiling, pre-
sumably the $290,OOO,COO,O0O figure
asked by Treasury Secretary
Humphrey.
At the PentOgOn that word "pOss-
ible" is taken to mean buying less
of everything but aircraft, ships,
guns and ammo. Internal Revenue
Commissioner T. Coleman Andrews
has announced that his Washington
headquarters staff will be cut from
1000 to about $500. And Budget
Director Joseph Dodge expects to
have a new and considerably sla-
shed list of current year expendi-
lures compiled by the end Of the
month.
Thus, it begins to look as though
Senator Harry Byrd be vindicated
in his vigorous contention that
there are thousands of ways to
reduce Government spending that
can be accomplished by Executive
Order without impairing benefits
as measured by real value" i
and that "it' is not necessary at this |
time to increase the debt limit"
Since President Eisenhower and /
Congress together have already cut
thirteen billion out of the seventy
eight billion Truman budget for this
year, it shouldn't be too difficult |
to snip off two more with |
Senator Byrd's help.
Nor should we forget that the
U. S. Government owns fifty billion
dollars worth of assorted businesses
that could and should be sold off |
for the benefit of all of us.

reasons why cities are being
blighted.
Traffic congestion is growing
steadily worse and driving peo-
pie farther away from the busi-
ness district. Rings of suburbs
around most cities drain re-
sources without reducing the
load on downtown services.
The postwar housing shortage
led to lax enforcement of hous-
ing regulations-on the theory
that slum dwelling was better
than none. Strict enforcement,
Mr.. Colean says, is needed now
to end the probability of slums.
He also cites the low rate of
return on money invested in new
construction in recent years as
having turned away needed cap
ital. Shifting some of the local
tax load off real estate could
help the investor, he adds.
And he also notes that in
many cities red tape. long delays
in all dealings with local au-
thorities, and the consequent
loss of income on tied-up funds
harass large investors undertak-
ing housing projects.
Evening star., 1953-10-19

ment costs rise faster than tax
revenues.
'The future Of our Cities will
be up for debate at the conven-
ton of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards next
month in Los Angeles.
Many city fathers find that
deterioration seems to gain
speed at the same time that
their metropolitan areas are
mushrooming.
Slum clearance and public
housing projects have helped,
but they haven't halted the
tendency in recent years to let
property run down. And the
middle-income families which
once lived just beyond the busi-
ness districts have largely been
ignored in postwar city con-
Struction.
The Twentieth Century Fund,
non-profit foundation for SCI
.entific research and public edu-
cation, put Miles L. Colean, a
city planning consultant from

problem. The fund today pub
