QUESTION: What can I do to
control termites ih the home?
ANSWER: James T. Conner, Jr.,
Entomologist for the State College
Extension Service, says that when
a home is found to be infested with
termites, the first step to take is
to make a careful examination tc^
determine the extent of the in
festation. If it is very slight and :
localized, the removal of all old j
boards and pieces of wood near
the foundation of the house may
remove the infestation. Severe in- j
festation may require the replac- j
Ing of infested timbers with new j
material. Termites that are in the ^

in contact with the soil and mois- I
ture, Conner says, or they will die.
It is therefore essential, he points |
out, that any possible contacts the j
termites may have with the soil1
and timbers of the building be
eliminated.

. Bugs in the Budget
Did you know that income of the
federal government for the next fis
cal year will be nine times, maybe
ten times, what it was in the boom
period of 1929? It will be at least
seven times the receipts the federal
government h;:d in 1939. Weak na
tion it would be, indeed, that could
not balance a peacetime budget with
the receipt side of the ledger at
enormous peacetime highs.
Just to balance the budget during
boom times, however, is not enough.
We must rotire debt and reduce
taxes. Looking a* another angle, the
federal government wants to spend
dia" in any year of the Thirties, when
deficit spending was in the habit
forming stage. Has it now become
fashionable for our government to
spend all it can uet" Have we for
gotten that the more we spend the
more we shall have to tax?
Pet Projects
If we cannot, under f ivorable con
ditions of hi'.'.h employment find
trade, get hold of ourselves long
enough to retire our national d/ut
and cut our taxes, at what future
time do we expect to do so? Is our
budgeting so (Ait of hand th?t Con
gress cannot gain control over it? Or
is the public tl\us unmindful of the
trouble we're in for under a tax load
required by the spending of $D7.f>00,
000.0C0 annua'lv.
? Both the President and the C< ti
gress have given evidence of honest
desire to keep the expenditure sale
of the budget down. Hut the pres
sures that a.re applied from every
direction call for spending more
money. As a people, we shall have
to exert great moral forti'ude at this
time if we cxnect an about-face in
a spending philosophy grown a!'.' ?st
traditional. We need not complain
to the government for being spend
thrift, if at home We insist upon be
ing spendthirsty about our pet proj
ects. Economy begins first at
home.
Examine Everything
Although the war has been over
nearly two years, your government
wishes to spend more in the next
fiscal year a?^y<\than was spent dur
ing the whole of World War I. Of
course, this is a dangerous era, and
no one wants.to hn-pstring our na
tional defenses. The whole nation
wants the occupation program to suc
ceed, But more efficiency and the
least possible waste of manpower
and money should b?? the or
der of the day.
As late as November the War and
Navy Departments were still em
ploying more than a mTnTorT-civil
ians. Spending in every department,
military or non-military, should be
studied carefully. Everyone knows
it is easier to keep 0:1 spending gov
ernment money than to r.ctrench.
This is just as true of the national
defense. Despite warnings of what
may happen, Congress will do well
to examine these expenditures.
Trimming down expenses is not an
easy task for Congress. Snail's prog
ress will be made unless the people
make themselves heard. A big and
wasteful budget now, carrying with
it a tax penalty upon the enterprise
of the people, coy Id do much to start
us down hill toward the kind of econ
omy Russia hns. 'Most American's,
I believe, wt.uid rather be allowed to
spend their own money than have
the government spend it for them.

?r 4 Announces Details of
$20)|00,000 Price Reductions
Details of thv recently announced International
Harvester policy ot making price reductions
to save users of. ouV' products approximately
$20,000,000 a year have now In ;>n worked out.
We have reduced prices on 163 models. These
cover 12 basic models of farm tractors, 123
basic models of farm machines, 16 basic models
of industrial tractors and e ngines, and 12 mod
els of motor trucks, as well as certain motor
t?*uck attachments. The new lower prices are
effective as of March 10, 1047.
These reductions were m.ule not because of
any cjecline in demand, but . . ause we believe
nothing is more important to this country than
to lower the prices of the goods people buy.
While prices have not been changed on all
products, we have made reductions wherever
possible, in the amounts possible. Prices of
many of our most popular products have been
substantially lowered.
Altogether, more than half of the company's
customers will be benefited by the reductions,
which range from 1 % to 23.8% and from $2.50
to $300 per item, based on list prices, F.O.B.
Chicago.
Since the people have demanded that the
government withdraw from price control in
j.oa clime, the responsibility to keep prices in
chcjk is hack where it should be?in the hands
of business and industry. The business outlook
makes it possible for us to move toward the
goal of lower prices, and we have felt a duty
to act as promptly as possible.
Our ability to maintain these lower prices
will depend on the supply and price of E&aterinla
we buy from others and on uninterrupted pro
duction at reasonable wage levels.
The prices listed here carry out our an
nounced policy that "Any price is too high if
