What the Weatncr IS 10 DS lihc over the weekend is a subject that shouldn't be preached perhaps, es- pecially in front of those very ac- tive in the staging of the King Crab Festival.
 There's not much consolation in consulting last years records, but the only solace is that it doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a repeat performance by the weather man. Since we can't con- suit an oracle, we give you the av- erages for last year for the month of May, and they're by no means good.
 The average number of days with precipitation of .O1 inches or more was 18.1 days. The precipitation (there's that nasty word again) in inches, this is an average total, was 6.19, with maximum in A hours of 1.87 inches.
 The average daily maximum temperature was AIS degrees. There have been some high temp eratures recorded in May. In May 1922, 76O degrees was recorded. Let's hope that will be duplicated this weekend. It's off to a good start at any rate.
 Many who have tickets on the breakup of the ice on the Panama river at Nenana for early this month are holding their breaths with the announcement expected any moment. In fact it may happen before this appears in print. Ac- cording to an Associated Press wire received at press time, the ice is unmoved as yet. "It is be- lieved to go out sometime today" the wire stated.
 The Ice Classic has kept Alas kans and Yukon territory (the only two districts in which tickets can be sold) residents guessing to the tune of an annual average of $1O6,OOO.
 The ice has moved as early as April 20, (1940) and as late as May 16, (1945). A 'Rube Goldberg" type of device records the exact hour and minute that the ice moves. A manager and sim-man committee handle all details con- nected with the classic.
 The device, which spells failure to most and winner to a few, con- sists of special clock located in a guard house on the river bank, this being hooked by wire to a tripod which is frozen in the ice in the middle of the river. When the ice moves, the wire stops the clock.
 A couple of Kodiakans came in for share of the spells last year. Who will be lucky this year? BORN SO YEARS TOO LATE

are people who love work for works sake. Others who want to work just to keep out of mischief. Then there are others who can play harder after they have worked hard-a sort of excuse, as it were. Then, again, there might be some who welcome the extra II years of work, which gives them that many more years in which to pile up a little more of this worlds goods. Then, of course, there might be the wife who welcomes her husband being able to work that much longer, because otherwise she would have him around the house all day.
 You know, when you stop to think about that extra II years of work, there's all kinds of ideas, most of them unpleasant, that crop up. In this business I'm in, a days work can't be done in the regula- ton 8 hours-I defy anyone to do it year in and year out. started out to kid you, members of the nations working force, whatever your job. But who am kidding? AS I write this it is 9:30 p. m. There's nothing unusual about that. We manage to work an extra three hours at least a day. That makes it eleven hours. At that rate we work about 936 hours more year than many of you and multiply that by the 11.2, it means we would work more than 10, 1882 hours more than most in that extra time. Is that good?
 Tn terms of manpOwer potential, the H. I. F. report stated, "a group of 100000 males born in 19o0-02 could expect to put in an average of 3, JOG, ,000 man-years of work dur ing their lives. By 1858 the compar- able figure was 4,228,0OO man. years. Thus the working-life ex- pectancy in man-years of group of 100000 male infants has risen by over l million since 19OO-O2, or by about onethird. Discouraging, isn't it? Don't break the news to your infant yet. Let him howl about other things, such as wet diaper.
 There's an encouraging side to the picture. Not only do American males today have a longer work ing lifetime, but they can also ex- pect to spend more years outside the labor force. The average num- Der of non-working years for males increased from 16.8 in 19OO-O2 to 24.1 in 1858.
 Young men now enter the labor force more than two years later, on the average, than was true at the turn of the century. And dur ing the same period retirementlife expectancy has more than doubled from 2.7 years for 2O-year old male in 1900 to 6.3 years in 1858.

Overhaul Of
Budget Tactics
BY DAVID S. BRODER
Star Staff Writer

A Senate subcommittee has
called for a basic overhaul OF
Federal budget-making proce-
dure to keep pace with the in
creasing complexity of foreign
and defense policy.
Hailing the budget process
as potentially "the Presidents
most powerful instrument" for
setting and coordinating ma
tional policy, the Subcommittee
on National Policy Machinery
headed by Senator Jackson,
Democrat of Washington, yes
terday warned that the tech
niqueS of budget-making in
the Federal Government have
not kept pace with the chang
ing and growing challenges to
our Nation"
The budget sent to the Con-
gress last January" it said,
retains the essential formal
of the first budget President
Harding submitted to the Con-
gress." An official seeking to
use it Must now run an OBJ
stacle course of obscure fund
ing concepts, archaic appropri-
ationS categories and fiscal jar
gon. The time is at hand
for a determined effort to make
the budget shorter, simpler and
easier to read and understand"
Understanding Needed
The subcommittee report
made these specific suggestions:
/. The Budget Bureaus staff
"is seasoned and outstanding
ly able" but there is still need
for more officials who have
the issues crossing their desks"
particularly the national Sc
curity area.
2. The "budgetary time hori-
zon" should be expanded. This
involves making projections Of
spending and receipts for pc
riods 5 to 10 years ahead and
forward planning" of nation
al policies, particularly by the
State Department. The report
noted with approval steps in
this direction already taken by
the Budget Bureau and the
Department of Defense.
8. The Government should
follow the practice of private
industry and present budget
materials in a variety Of ways
to meet a variety Of purposes
checking efficiency, planning
capital expenditures and meas
uring more exactly the cost of
specific programs.
Longer term budgetary pro-
jectionS do not imply a change
in the present system of pre-
senting a budget to Congress
each year and in voting appro-
priationS on an annual basis, "
the report said. Nor is the
aim to make in 1862 decisions
that can only be made in 1865.
1t is to take greater account
of the consequences in 1866
of the budgetary decisions
which must be made in 1862"
Affirmative View Needed
AS examples of the need for
forward budgeting and plan
ming" the subcommittee cited
the man-on-the-moon project,
foreign aid and the develop
ment of new weapons systems
Underlying the subcommittee
report was the view that the
President should use the Budg-
ct Bureau as his strong right
arm in executive management,
rather than limiting it to what
the report called a kind OF
Certified Presidential Account
ing Office"
THE Bureau must often be
a no-sayer." it said, but il
should also on occasion be a
prodder and a yea -sayer."

CHANGES IN FARMING

You hear a lot about loss in
numbers Of farms and farmers.
But maybe this does not give
q true picture of the situation.
1t i true that we have fewer
farms and farmers, but here
the decline stops.
Farms are larger. They are
more productive. More farm
ers own their farms. There are
fewer tenants. Farm expendi-
lures have increased tremen-
dously, but 50 has farm in
come.
Here are some examples. The
average size Mississippi farm
has increased from 80 acres in
l949 to 1876 in 1859; value of
the farms increased from S4,-
400 in l949 to $4,000 in 1859.
Percentage of farms operated
by tenants decreased from 52%
in l949 to 32fo in 1859.
Farms providing incomes of
less than $2500 decreased from
$3.50 in 1949 to 459o in 1859.
Farm production expenses
increased from 1856 million in
l949 to SAL million in 1859,
but gross farm income in
creased, too, from $655 million
in l949 to $748 million in 1859.
Farming in Mississippi is big
business. The entire economy
Of the state is geared to agri-
| culture.
PASTURE JOBS
Clip all pastures that have
not been clipped Do not clip
them close, but raise the clip
| per blade so as to take out only
weeds and undesirable grass.
Start Immediately fallowing
land for early September
planting Of oats. Make sure
that you plant only treated oat
seed.
Don't take a chance on los
ing your early oat grazing dut
to leaf blotch. Manage your
sudan or millet so that not
over two hours grazing is done
on an area in any one day. If
! you think you will need addi-
tional grazing in September or
October, you can plant millet,
/ sudan or grain sorghum.
If your pasture has not been
lined within the past five
years, put lime on it at the rate
