Electric Profits Hit 15e
of Revenue Dollar

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Nearly 15c* of each dollar that pri-
vate electric utilities took in during
1861 was net profit, Electric Con-
sumers Information reported last
month.
This profit per sales dollar COM

toners paid for service in 1861.
These high returns aren't justified
on the basis of risk, ECIC said. It's
officials recalled that Treasury Sec
rotary Douglas Dillon said earlier
this year, ''The risk of investment in
the utility field is less than in in
dustry generally. Utilities enjoy a
captive monopoly market and guaran-
teed rate of return. These insulate
them from the corporate income tax"
x Montana Power, the nations most
profitable electric utility, did some
what better than the national aver
age, with net profit of more than
10 cents ON each dollar taken in.

The stalls have some Usad-

A concrete alley is needed for

In managing a stall area, Kite
suggests using sawdtlst, shay

much stalls are used. No feeding
is done in the stalls.

EGGS

The weather is playing big
role in the current egg situation
Cold weather is preventing load
ing in the far west and has hurt
production mere in Virginia. In
the immediate future the
weather could determine trends.
Egg prices should stay at the
present level.
At the first of January tn e
supply of layers was one per
cent lower nationally. and it is
expected to remain lower dur
ing the first quarter of the year
The rate of lay on January
was exactly the same as last
year.
The price pattern usually goes
down this time Of year, but the
adverse weather has kept prices
up. If the weather gets better,
prices will go down. Prices are
at the same level as at this
time last year. Egg movement
is good.

agent and he were able to de-
termine why particular fields
were not doing we'll.
On one farm alfalfa was being
raised on a field that had never
been in alfalfa before. T h e
agronUlnist found that the soil
type was unsuited To alfalfa. and
could not be expected to grow
good yields Of this crop.
On another farm. alfalfa was
not lasting as long as the farm
er thought it should. The trou-
Bile here was poor management
The alfalfa was being grazed too
close, and the result was that
the stand was being lost rather
quickly. Alfalfa grazed too close
or cut too often goes out in a
couple of years. he says.
In a third field there was a
lack of potash. The farmer had
been top-dressing with recon-
mended amounts and analysis Of
fertilizer, but for some unknown
reason this soil was very low in
potash and needed building up.
In another case. disease was
found to be the trouble. This,
says Dunton. was one of the
most perplexing problems to cor
rect. since there is no known
cure for the disease. In another
field, the wrong variety had
been planted. This variety holds
up we'll for enc or two years.
but does not last well in the sec
ton involved.
Dunton suggests that farmers
having problems with their al
falfa get a copy of the bulletin
on alfalfa production from their
county agent. He says. Alfalfa
is a high yielding crop of high
quality. This means it is de-
handing in its requirements. va
uety, soil. seed incubation. fer
tillzauon, and management are
all important for high yields at
low cost. Don't quit alfalfa until
you are sure it is not an eco
nomical crop for you to pro

Tree Talk

Trees eat. drink and breathe

winter winds, as long as they
don't break limbs or tear off
tWigs.
DR.. Edward j. Duda, as direc-
tor of the Bartlett Tree Re-
search Laboratories, has come
to know trees intimately. And he
has found in evergreens and
even in green parts of decidous
trees and shrubs that food is
manufactured daytime in winter
when temperatures are above
freezing-the same process that
goes on in summer.
Why, even hazel and alder
have been known to flower in
winter.
Evergreens breathe exhange
gases. that is through tiny
pores in needles and leaves. And
in winter deciduous trees do the
same thing. only through lenti-
GELS, openings on twigS and
younger bark Breathing also
takes place through tree roots.
winter as well as summer.
Eating or feeding occurs ever
so slightly too through hairroots
when soil about them is not
frozen solid. In fact roots some
times make a squirt in growth
during a January thaw or Feb
luary warm spell.
But the greatest boon to
tree in winter is water. That's
why a snow cover is welcomed.
for beneath a heavy snow the
ground is seldom frozen solid.
This permits the roots to absorb
moisture not merely to keep on
living but more importantly to
keep from dying.
All trees must repleniSh mois-
ture lost in winter to high dry
ing winds else they are in trou-
BILE. When serious drying occurs
injury follows.
Winter injury varies from
year to year, from plant to
plant, tree to tree. But invari-
ably it results from winter dry
ing when the ground is frozen.
That is why trees should go
into winter with plenty of mois-
ture around their roots. That is
also the reason mulches are
recommended for foundation
paintings. And if a home owner
wisely applied an antiwilt spray
last fall to broadlead and mar
rowleaf evergreens to reduce
winter injury, it should be re-
peated in January and February
when there is a warmish period
or thaw. The toughest stretch of
winter drying is yet to co1ne-in
February and March.

Alfalfa Leading
As Forage Crop

Alfalfa is leading forage
crop in Virginia these days. The
fact that many more acres Of it
are now being grown means
that more problems can be eX-
pected with it. says DR.. H. l..
Dunton. head OF the VPI agron-
omy department.
Today it is not unusual for
farmers to get a yield of four
tons per acre from alfalfa. Dun
ton says. If you are producing
no better than two and one half
tons per acre of alfalfa. there is
something wrong. If you can't
correct it. likely you had better
try another crop"

at Middleburg this year?
A = Yes, January 80 and 81.
Q ~ What variety of flue-

this year?
A County agents have been
supplied with lists Of varieties
adapted to various localities and
conditions in the state. Each
farmer must choose according to
the situation on his individual
farm.
@ How can I control chick
weed in alfalfa?
A Spray with CIPC during
the dormant season.
@ - VIII the small farm have
a place in agriculture in the fu-
ture?
A This question can and
has Fingered long discussions.
In Virginia, economists say the
most important adjustment prob
lem in farming is that of in
creasing the size of most Vir-
ginia farms. Under conditions of
modern farming in which CAPT
tai is being substituted for la
Dor. it is essential for the farm
to be large enough that the
farmer can afford to own and
operate modern machinery and
equipment.
Q - Can beef cattle be grazed
in orchards where no poison
spray is present?

Q What can we do about
black birds in our wheat fields?
They are destroying entirely too
much wheat.
A ~ Acetylene exploders. plac-
ed about 100 yards apart, are
usually effective.
@ What material should I
use to control chickweed in my
lawn?
A ~ Use silvex at the rate of
pounds per acre. 1t can be
applied any time now.
@ ~ Is 2.,4-D amino or ester

A IN Not if used as recon-
mended. 1t is dangerous, of
course. if misused.

stumps from sprouting if it is
applied during January?
A = Yes. it IS quite effective.
O. How much danger is
there in pasturing cane that
came up in winter pasture and
has died down since frost?
A - The suckers that come up
from the cane are high in prus-
sic acid content. and can be
very harmful if livestock eat
enough of them. If the cane
and the suckers-are thoroughly
cured out there should be no
danger.

ago. but this is now closing so
that by mid March supply will
be about the same as last year.
Virginia January supply will

The strike could be the big

An early settlement, relieving

President Asks
 Another Pay Raise For Govt. Workers

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy has asked Congress for another pay raise for government employees.
 As outlined in a special message to Congress Monday, the Presi- dents proposal would raise the pay of 16 million classified and postal workers from per cent to about 20 per cent - around $500 million a year.
 If approved, the rates would take effect Jan. 1 and would be in addition to a raise already voted by Congress to begin then.
 Kennedy said the additional - or supplemental - increase is ne- cessary to comply with the 1862 Federal Salary Reform Act which declares that federal pay raises shall be comparable to average rates in industry for the same levels of work.
 He said the pay raises voted last year would fall short of in- duStry levels.
 Under the salary schedules he proposed for Civil Service workers pay scales would range from $3,305 a year to S25,000.
 Here are three examples of what the new Kennedy proposals would mean next Jan. 1:
 Employes in Grade GS5 would receive $4,855 year instead of $4,690 provided under the 1862 law; those classed as GS12 would receive $10,600 rather than $9,98O, and in grade GS15, salaries would start at $17,16 rather than $15,665.
