SILLY BUT IT AIN'T FUNNY The needs of the Defense Department and the existence of a recession are being used as excuses not to keep Federal spending down. But nothing can excuse such silliness as exists in the Federal Fed-eral Budget in this example : The Government plans to spend $756 million to remove land from cultivation ("soil bank") ; $216 million for irrigation to put more land into production, and almost 2'2 billion to remove surplus crops from the market ! Americans should let their Congressmen know they don't want their money wasted like this or in any other way.
