Summer Cover Crop
David Lee Hollowell is plan
ning on sowing Hairy Indigo on
13 acres, that he has in the Feed
Grain Program. Your land that
you have put in the Feed Grain
Program still needs a good cover
crop on it to prevent weeds from
taking over. Good cover crops
add a tremendous amount of or
ganic matter to the soil and this
improves the soil’s tilth, structure
•and fertility. Hairy Indigo is a
fairly new plant for our section.
It is a very good summer cover
crop on sandy land and it doesn’t
make seed this far north./ In
the past it has been difficult to
locate seed, but they Will be
available locally this year. Indi
go can be seeded in truck crops
before the last cultivation and
, it will start growing-rafter the
4 crops are harvested. The recom
mended rate of seeding is 8-10
. bs. per acre. Other good sum
mer cover crops are annual les
pedeza, sesbania, soybeans, cow-
peas, sudan, millet and wildlife
food mixtures.

Big Changes Made
►The bus at the top was fine for 1938. It made
frequent stops, operated on two lane roads, and
encountered little traffic.
Today’s bus Is designed to run hundreds of
miles without stops. Its motor is more powerful, --
yet quieter; and the «oach is air conditioned,
' rest-room equipped.
But one thing Is the same—the Trailways spirit
of neighborliness and helpfulness to the traveler..

districts are legally constituted
units of State Government creat
ed by you to administer soil and
water conservation work within
its boundaries, and they are not
branches of any agency or of the
Federal Government. Districts
are self-governed by a board of
publicly elected local people call
ed supervisors. They are your
elected representatives to plan
"and carry out a district wide
program cf conservation.
The district program within the
state and county is carried out to
some extent through annual ap
propriations of the State Legis
lature; however most of the sup
port has to be obtained from
the individual counties, organi
zations, agencies and individuals.
It is their responsibility to pro
vide technical assistance to you
from all possible sources. They
have working agreements with
the Soil Conservation Service,
North Carolina Division of For
estry, North Carolina State High
way Commission and others to
do this. Assistance is also pro
vided by other agencies. All
work toward the same goal; con
servation of our natural re

S No Comment 1
<- ;
By JAMES W. DOUTHAT
taalfttanl Vice President, Government
delations Division of the National
Association of Manufacturers
NO COMMENT is a report of
incidents on the national scale,
»nd does not necessarily reflect
(TAM policy or position.
Washington—The congressional
drive to prune President Kenne
dy’s massive spending program is
achieving some encouraging re
sults—and some powerful sup
port.
Sensing the temper of Con
gress, Mr. Kennedy himself trim
med $400,000 million from the
amount he had planned to re
quest for foreign aid.
i His special message to Con
gress sought $4.5 billion—which
compares with $3.9 billion ap
j proved for . the current fiscal
year. An additional cut will be
sought.
] Powerful support for the bi
partisan economy effort came
from former President Eisen
hower and from Senator Byrd
| (D-Va.), chairman of the Senate
j Finance Committee.
Mr. Eisenhower urged Con
gress to lop more than sl3 bil- ]
lion from the $107.9 billion of
j new spending authority sougnt
j by Mr. Kennedy.
Economy advocates believe :
such action would reduce actual
] spending in 1964 by at least $4.5
billion.
This would mean holding 1964
spending to the 1963 level—]
which the economy advocates re
gard as a rather “lush” level and
having no resemblance whatever i
to austerity.
Pointing out that Mr, Kenne- \
dy’s $107.9 billion request was j
$27 billion higher than the last
Eisenhower budget (submitted to
I Congress in January, 1961), the
| former President asserted that
j“major surgery’’ is essential.
“If this $27 billion increase
; were cut in half,” he said, “we ]
J would still have the fastest]
growing budget we have ever
had in peacetime.” *
Os particular interest were his
views on defense spending—a
subject on which he is a world
recognized authority. He said:
“Take Defense—up $lO billion
in two years. In my view, it is
almost incredible to say this pro
gram cannot be safely pared. The
Defense budget I left behind
provided amply for our security.
Even allowing for costly develop
ments since then, I have no
' doubt that the enormous Defense
I sums can well stand a judicious
and sizeable pruning.”
Senator Byrd—another recog
nized authority on government
spending—also urged Congress,
in order to protect the nation's
fiscal solvency, to trim substan
tially Mr. Kennedy’s spending
program.
Here are his recommendations:
- “In view of the continuing
and worsening deficit financing
state of federal fiscal affairs, the
excessive spending record over
the years, and the size and char
acter of the president’s January
spending proposals for the com
ing year, I earnestly suggest
that:
“The $107.9 billion in budget
requests for new appropriations
| and other spending authority
| now pending before Congress be
reduced by a minimum of $12 1
I billicn.
! “The $93.8 billion budget ex
penditure estimate for the fiscal
| year beginning July l be reduced
by a minimum of $7.1 billion.”
I Senator Byrd pointed out that
: $87.2 billion of unspent appro
priations—plus the $107.9 billion
]of new spending authority—
j would provide Mr. Kennedy with
,a total of $1955.1 billion for fu
ture expenditures after July 1.
“Tnis sum,” he commented,
. “is almost beyond comprehen
sion.”

said J. E. Wall, District Director

Greensboro District.
