September Tips To
Tree Owners

September is the time to pep up
shade trees. Some will need a
cleanup, others repair.
The Bartlett Tree Research Lab
oratories offer these hints:
Feed all trees that look sick, es-
pecially those weakened by heat
and drought, those that dropped
leaves prematurely, or were raw
aged by insects or otherwise dam
aged Feeding will help put new
life into the trees this fall.
Prune out and burn weak, dis
eased and dead branches. At the
same time thin out crowns so there
will be less danger of damage dur
ing hurricanes or fall storms.
Cable and brace weak crotches
and limbs.
Clean up evergreens by timely
spraying.
Don Cantwell, area manager for
Bartlett Tree Expert Company,
says September is an ideal time to
curb red spider. which causes nee
dies of arborvitae, hemlock, spruce
and fir to yellow, brown and then
drop. Use nicotine or malathion.
Spray even if these evergreens ap-
pear to be pest-free, for red spiders
are on the move this month and
may come in from neighboring
places and do much damage yet this
fall.
Be on the lookout also for crawl
ing young scale on underside of
twigs of many plants. These tiny
scale crawl in late September and
early October suck plant juices,
then settle down for the winter.
Young of many scales are pale
yellow: tulip and magnolia scale
crawlers jet black. Spray with
malathion or nicotine.
Watch white, red and Austrian
pine for evidence of pine bark lice,
which are cottony in appearance
as they cling to twigs, needles and
trunk. Curb them. with a contact
spray. The damage they do shows
up in next May and June.

RAILROAD HOME

HOLLOWAY, Mich. -(P1- Rail
road man ]. d. Jaqua is moving into
the station house. After working for
the railroad for 35 years with Is
more to go for retirement, Jaqua
bought the old Holloway station
and had it carted off to his own lot.
He figures to make a five room
house out OF the building, which
was built in 1882.
Jaqua doesn't talk about the price,
except that he says it was ''very
reasonable" The station is typical
turn-of-the-century architecture. 1t
measures 81 by 16 feet, has long
gabled extensions at either end and
a double sized freight door. Jaqua
and his wife figure it will take two
or three years to finish the station
so they can live in it.

Budget Nay Be Balanced
This Present Fiscal Year
fContinued from page onel

anced budget will be brought into
sight as the year unfolds.''
And Humphrey read the follow
ing statement, made jointly with
Bud get Director Rowland R.
Hughes, to newsmen:
If there is ever a time when our
budget should be balanced, it is
now.
Americans are enjoying new
peaks of prosperity, but this simp-
ly emphasizes the need for wisdom
and restraint, in both public and
private affairs.
Everybody knows that no fam
lily can continually live largely be-
yond its means. 1t is worse for gov
ernment TO do so. History shows
how continued heavy deficits con-
tribute to imitation, with rapidly
rising costs, finally resulting in de-
struction of all values.
Officials Are Hopeful
Barring some unforeseen de-
velopment, we think that we should,
and that we can, balance the bud
get this year"
This brought Immediate questions
about tax cuts. Humphrey refused
firmly and repeatedly to say the
improved outlook necessarily
meant taxes could come down next
year. Just as firmly, he declined to
say tax cuts would not be made.
Democrats in Congress have said
they will initiate tax cut legislation
early next year, regardless of the
Administration attitude. But before
he could back any such move, Hum
phrey said, he would have to be
able to see beyond a balanced bud
get, to a trend" of surplus income.
With that in sight, he said, tax
cuts would become practical. He
added that that did not mean he
would have to have the surplus in
the governments tills before he
backed a slash in tax rates. Hum
phrey said he would plump for
lower taxes as soon as as he could
look ahead and see the extra in
come on the way.
A balanced budget, he said, has
to- come before tax reductions, and
tax reductions are more important
than reducing the national debt.
Silent On Reductions
He declined to discuss what
types of tax reductions he might
recommend, but in the past he has
said they should be broad, benefit
ting both individuals and business.
The new budget estimates boosted
spending for atomic energy to an
alltime high of s1,900,000,000, for
both bomb materials and peaceful
application of atomic energy.
But the other three major nation
al security programs. the armed
forces, military aid and stockpiling,
took cuts. These resulted in a de-
fense spending dip of IL billion
dollars below last year, to a new
post-Korea low of $38,750, 1000, 900.
Most non-defense spending to-
tails were higher than estimated in
January, and higher than actual
spending in the fiscal year just con-
cluded
The budget review predicted a
rise during the current fiscal year
in tax receipts from almost all ma
jor sources. 1t said the yield from
personal income taxes would rise
most. by some 1A billion dollars, 10
s32,S00, 1000, ,000, while corporation
taxes would rise about 900 millions
over last years total, to about $19,-
