Democratic and Republican
convention platforms have in

Nothing is further from the
truth. No mention directly or
indirectly was made OF the
bill by either party. Those who
profess to see Endorsement of
the Clark bill in the Republican
and Democratic general state
mentS indorsing modernized
and improved personnel prac-
tices are guilty of wishful or
naive thinking.
Republican and Democratic
platform planks have been in

Seventy per cent of the 1.216
schedule C positions-f1rst es-
tablished by the Eisenhower
administration and admins
tered by the Civil Service Com
mission - are in the general
administrative and Secretarial
group; the second largest
number of positions is in the

About 800 of the 1918 sched-
ule C jobs are not presently
filled.
All $50 policy determining

lis per cent of the 858 purely
confidential positions are in
Grade 16 and above.
Fifty-three per cent of pres

from. previous Federal service,
This means that they have
reinstatement rights to other
Civil Service jobs. 1t also
means for the most part that
should the new administration
want to place others in their
present jobs, they would most
likely be transferred to another
position in the agency which is
under Civil Service.
Technically speaking, even
present holders of schedule C
| jobs who have Civil Service
status have the protection of
the Lloyd-LaFollette and Vet
Grams Preference Act against
arbitrary removal. However.
for all intents and purposes,
considering the intent of sched-

different job assignments, etc
However, commission officials
feel that outside the political

silo." Holmes says.
Hall seeded seven acres Of
supplemented asture this
spring for summer forage. He
is very happy that he did and
says that this has been a life
saver this summer after after
the pastures dried up. He applied
700 pounds 10-10-10 broadcast to.
the land before seeding and thu
cows have not been able to keer
the forage down.
The Hall farm is laid off ir.
strips and these strips are rotat-
ed in a two-year rotation Of corn
followed by barley and lespe
deza. He applies 400 pounds o.
5-l0-lO per acre to the barley a
seeding time. He says that hi
has had some lodgink Of the bar
ley. but by using Hudson which
is fairly stiff straWed, he has
eliminated this problem. Some
years he adds about two pounds
Of orchard grass to the barley
and after the barley IS com
bined. he is able to get cutting
Of good quality lesredeza and
orchard grass hay.
Hall bought and is developing
so acres Of land nearby. He is
growing four and one-half acres
alfalfa and five acres Of pasture
for the heifers and dry COWS.
He gets four tons alfalfa hay per
acre. Hall is one Of the Farm
and Home Development fam
lilies in Amelia county and keeps
accurate farm records.
He says the money he spends
for fertilizer pays big dividends
for him. All fields are tested
each three years to determine
the PHI and how much fertilizer
he needs to apply to the crops
being grown.

Nearly always high yields
are the cheapest yields says H.
A. Holmes, county agent for
Amelia County.
N. j. Hall, a dairy farmer in
Amelia County, is an ardent be-
lever in this philosophy. He
consistently produces top yields
of corn and small grain. Hall
has Only Sc acres In the home
place. SO acres open. He main
tains a dairy herd Of Is to 30
cows on this small acreage.
His herd averaged in 1859 just
about 10000 pounds Of milk per
cow
In addition to his dairy herd
he produces l8 acres of flue
tobacco and or acre of sun cur
ed tobacco.
During the very dry summer
in Amelia county. Halls corn
did not burn in the field as many
Of his neighbors' corn did,
Holmes observes. Hall believes
the reason for this was that he
furnished plenty of plant food
for the corn to develop a good
root system. He broadcast and
plOWed down IS tons Of good
quality manure to the acre. In
to the seedbed he worked 1000
pounds 2-l2-12 per acre broad
cast. He applied 300 pounds s.
1910 per acre in the corn plant
er. When the corn was ready
for the last cultivation, he side
dressed about so pounds of nit
rogen per acre.
Hall has an upright silo that
holds 100 tons. He usually fills
this silo from only six acres of
corn-a yield Of Is tons per acre.
He puts the rest of his silage
corn into a nch silo
where it is settled to the dairy
herd until the weather gets bad
and the cows begin to mire a.

Question: What's the story
on "boondoggle." Every so
often I'll see a reference to
government boondoggling-ap-
parently meaning waste. Is
there more to it than that?-
T. L. c., Milwaukee.
Answer: The word, in govern
mental use, was first applied to
the "make-work" projects of
the first Franklin Roosevelt ad-
miniStration, which m any
critics thought were wasteful.
The term was reported earlier
as a slang expression common
in the Ozarks and, in 1929, was
used by a scoutmaster as a
name for ornamental thongs
made by Boy Scouts under his
direction.
