the bill-now-and even if it isn't
taken in initiative form, the people

they can push it under the nose of
prospective legislators and say 'this

so simple that even | could under

PRESIDENT ASKED LESS MONEY FOR
AGRICUL TURE I'm BUDGET MESSAGE
By CONG LEE METCALF

President Eisenhower has sent over
the first balanced budget of his Ad-
ministration. Unless the Treasury has,
as usual, underestimate revenues,
it is a precarious balance.
President Eisenhower proposes that
we spend almost $3.50 billion during
fiscal 1857, the year beginning next
July 1. This an increase of SIG bill
lion from estimated expenditures of
S64.3 this fiscal year. He estimates
that due to unprecedented prosper
ity," our federal government will
take in 1868 billion this year, leav-
ing a surplus of $435 million.
One of the assumptions upon which
the balanced budget is based is that
Congress will increase postal rates
first-class mail to 81, airmail to 7c.
He figures this will bring in an addi-
tional $3.50 million, or almost the
he would be in the black. He
cannot assume that Congress will
raise these rates.
There is a great difference be-
tween the promises Of the State of
the Union Message and the perform
ance of the budget.
For example, President Eisenhow-
ar, renewed his pleas for construc-
ton of an interstate super-highway
system. But he provided no money
N his budget for this program. The
budget provides only for the present
annual level Of 1915 million for fed
eral aid highways, including $175
million for the Interstate system.
LESS FOR AGRICULTURE
1t is interesting to note that the
only two items in the budget for
which President Eisenhower asked
ess money next year than this year
ire agriculture and natural resource
development. His overall request
If $3.4 billion for all agricultural
pending was drop of $12 million
rom this years total.
He asked $1,297,000,000 for nat
lral resources. That was SIS million
ess than this year.
In his State of the Union Message,
he President promised "compre-
lensive legislative program for water
saying "the need is
UGH that we must make faster prog
ess and without delay"
His budget message clarified this
program this way: ga large share
# the net expenditures of $50 mil
ion dollars for land and water re-
ources in 1857 will be for continual
ion or completion Of construction on
water resource projects of the Corps |
f Engineers and Bureau of Recla-
nation, and for maintenance and |
peration of existing facilities.
The Army Engineers appropria-
tions is to include 100000 for
the long-overdue second power
plant at Fort Peck.
The request for the Bureau of
totals $187.8 million,
p from almost $3.50 million this
ear. But the request for the Mis-
ouri Basin Project is down to S5l.o
lillion from $50 million this year.

been positive.
At the May II, 1856 land board
meeting when the is and two-thirds
minimum royalty policy (applying to
some special tracts) was adopted,
how did Governor Aronson vote?
Did the Governor advise the other
members of the board that adoption
of such policy might be fraught
with danger? Was the possibility of
a gamble" even discussed at that
time?
Did the Governor argue against
adoption of the policy which he now
criticizes in the ballyhoo about the
Fallon county "dry hole.
The official minutes of the land
board meeting for May IL show
in one instance "the Governor re-
Trained from voting" on the Is and
two-thirds policy proposal. In an
other, "the Governor did not vote"
Just where does the Governor stand
on the royalty issue?
In October, 1855, three months be-
fore completion of the Fallon county
"dry hole", in an article in MONT
ANA EDUCATION, he said words
identical to those of Attorney Cen
eral Arnold Olsen, Superintendent
of Public Instruction, Mary NJ. Con-
don and the late Secretary of State
Sam w. Mitchell-all three of whom
voted for the higher minimum roy
atty. These are quotes from the
Governors article:
IF royalty is set at a rate which
is excessive in light of the circum-
stances of the land for its likelihood
to produce oil, the amount Of bonus
offered will be small On the other
hand, land which is deemed to present
a favorable opportunity of produc-
ng oil, will justify a high royalty
with lessening the amount bid as bon
is. So, in the final analysis each
ease constitutes a separate prob

view of the fact the Governor took
no stand at all-he did not even
vote AGAINST the adoption of the
higher minimum royalty policy at
last May 11th's land board meeting,
the results of which he is using to
create headlines today.

Cattle Industry
Conducts Study

of nationwide, graSS-roots survey
conducted by the State College of Wash
ington, under the sponsorship of the
American National Cattlemen's Assn.
The survey involved a scientific sam
pling of the more than $4,000 members
of the "a state associations affiliated
with the national.
The following is brief review of
some of the major findings of the study.
The full report is contained in Bulletin
No. 562, problems and Practices of
American Cattlemen,'' which can be
obtained by writing to the WASHINGTON
Agricultural Experiment Station, Pull
man, Wash.
Diseases and Parasites
1. During the course of a year. 8 per
cent of all cattle were afflicted by one
or more unconditional diseases, and
0.6 per cent of all cattle died from such
diseases, and 1.S per cent of all cattle
were afflicted by nutritional deficiency
diseases and ailments, of which O.S per
cent died therefrom.
2. The five most mon nom
nutritional beef cattle diseases, by rank.
were pink eye, calf scours, shipping
fever, foot rot, and pneumonia: they
accounted for 77,2 per cent of all sick
cattle (non-nutritionaD Pink eye was
reported in nearly half of the herds and
afflicted per cent of all cattle.
8. Of the losses due to nutritional de-
ficiency diseases and ailments, Sc per
cent were attributed to bloat, q per
cent to poisonous plants, and 10 per cent
to urinary calculi
A. By rank, the most damaging para
sites were lice, grubs, screwworms
and hornfly.
Feeding
1. The majority of cattlemen used nom
legume dry roughages, with grass hay
and dried grass cured on the stalk
ranking first and second, respectively.
Relatively more grass hay was fed in
the Great Plains than in other areas,
more dry grass cured on the stalk was
fed in the Great Plains and in the West.
2. Twenty-one per cent of the cattle
men reported they did not feed any
protein supplement. CottonSeed oil meal
was used by more cattlemen than any
other protein supplement; commercial
feed supplements ranked second.
3. Those cattlemen feeding a protein
supplement fed an average of 20 pounds
daily per head to a mature cow.
4. The following feeding practices
prevailed: Cd Al per cent of the cattle
men fed cake or cubes on the pasture
or range; ~ 80 per cent of the cattle
men settled salt-protein mix; 81 Is
per cent creep-fed calves; "a AZ per
cent of the cattlemen fattened cattle
out on pasture alone, IS per cent grain
fattened cattle, and "a per cent com.
bined pasture and grain fattening, and
50 SO per cent fed out their own cattle,
% per cent had them custom fed. and
or per cent custom fed for others.
S. Most cattle-76 per cent of the
heiferS and 6O.2 per cent of the steers
were f attened out as calves anC
yearlings.
6. More cattlemen fed block salt thar
any other kind, with ground salt rank
ing second. An average of 25.3 pound.
of salt was fed to a mature cow pc
year, or 81 pounds per month.
z. Twenty-Five per cent of the cattle
men did not feed a mineral other thai
salt. SeYentY-eight per cent of thns

other Gil per cent were commercial
producers, all or in part. Of the COWS
and heifers bred, 1873 per cent were
purebreds, and the other 86.1 per cent
were of commercial or unknown
breeding.
2. There was a 79.5 per cent calf
crop, and 62.6 per cent of the cows
weaned off calves; which means that
there was an appalling calf loss of 81
per cent between birth and weaving.
8. Only OILS per cent of the cows bred
dropped dwarf calves and of the calves
born alive, only O.19 per cent-less than
one-fifth of per cent-were dwarfs.
4 Ninety-four per cent of the cattle
men reported using purebred bulls only;
40 per cent reported that production
tested bulls were not available to them,
while 22.7 per cent reported that they
would not buy production-teSted bulls
even if they were available.
5. Nearly half (48.6 per cent? of the
cattlemen reported that they breed
more than 80 per cent of their heifers
to calve as 2-year-oldS.
6. Twenty-Five per cent, or about one
in five, of the heifers were retained as
requirements, whereas 17.8 per cent of
the cows were culled. Since cattle num-
bers were expanded in 1854, the year
upon which these figures were based,
it is probable that, on the average,
about 20 per cent of the heiferS are re-
tanned each year and about the same
percentage of cows are culled.
z. Old cows were culled or removed
from the breeding herd at an average
age of SO years, and bulls at 6.S years.
8. Eighty-two per cent of the cattle
calved out on the pasture or range,
without shed or enclosure.
Marketing
l. The vast majority of cattle-70.8
per cent of the steers and $50 per cent
of the heifers-were marketed as calves
and yearlings. Also, relatively more
calves were marketed in the south than
in other areas.
2. Most of the cattlemen marketed
their feeder cattle through the following
three channels, by rank: local buyers,
central markets and community auc-
tionS
g. Most fat cattle were marketed
through the following four channels, by
rank: Direct to packers, central mar
ketS, local buyers and community auc-
tons. Four and One-half per cent of
the cattlemen were responsible for mar
keting one-third of all fat cattle direct
to packers, which shows that some very
large operators sold direct to packers.
Information and Research
1. The sources of most beef cattle in
formation, by rank, were: Magazines,
livestock associations, neighbors, coun-
ty agents and own experiences.
2. The most wanted types of beef cat
tie research, by rank, were feeding
and nutrition, pasture and range man.
agement, m k n G, management,
breeding, diseases, parasites, meats,
dwarfism and buildings and equipment.
g. In the dissemination of research,
66 per cent felt that the results are
getting out soon enough "a per cent felt
that they are not; 20 per cent felt that
research results are getting out in q
form that can be used, but 80 per cent
felt they are not in disable form.

Award Set

A Montgomery County Circuit
Court jury yesterday granted an
$4,000 condemnation suit award
for 5000 square feet of property
sought by the Washington SUI
burban Sanitary Commission for
right-of-way purposes in the
Aspen Hill area.
The property owners, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray Turner, proprietors of
Turner's Acres Restaurant on
Georgia avenue extended near
Aspen Hill, are the same couple
awarded $4,000 in a condem-
nation case involving six acres
sought by the County School
Board as a school site last Janu-
airy.
The 260-foot strip Of land for
which an easement was sought
by the sanitary commission cuts
through property which re-
NAMED in the Turner's possess
sion after the school site pur-
chase. The commission plans
to use the easement for con-
struction of sanitary linz to a
new subdivision.
Lawyers for the sanitary util-
Iity did not disclose whether the
commission would pay the ease
ment price determined by the
court or look elsewhere for its
right Of way. The Turner's were
represented by Attorneys Edwin
Brown and John E. Oxley.

Youth Cleared
In Car Injury

A 22-year-old student. charged
with reckless driving after his
car struck and seriously injured
IA Montgomery County police
man on Halloween night, was
cleared in Bethesda Peoples
Court yesterday.
Substitute Judge Samuel L.
Gordon dismissed the charge
against Joseph G. Kump, of
BeechhurSt, N. Y, a student at
Georgetown University. He de-
lclared the evidence presented by
police did not constitute a "prima
facie" case of reckless driving.
He added that the warrant ac-
cusing the student should have
specified what manner of reck-
less driving was involved, if any.
In the accident, L. Raymond
Lynch, AZ, police private as
signed to the Bethesda sub
station, suffered severe head and
hip injuries. He was hit while
directing traffic at the scene of
a previous auto-pedestrian acct
dent on Wisconsin avenue just
north Of EaSt-West highway.
Pvt. Lynch was hoSpitalized for
IS days and is not expected to
return to duty for several weeks,
Police testimony at the hear
ing indicated the Students auto
was travelling slowly. Investi-
eating officers said Mr.. Kump
told them he did not see Pvt.
Lynch before the impact.
