Even the storage bills run into huge sums of money, on top of the government payments to producers. In an interview carried by U. S. News &. World Report, Secretary of Agriculture Benson proposes a solution.lt lies in converting the grain into meat and other livestock products. He points out that the demand for these products is steadily increasing. As an example, beef consumption has jumped 50 in the last 15 years or so. The S. News interviewer asked Mr. Benson: Is that the answer to this problem to utilize the grain to feed to livestock? The Secretary answered: . . o in the countries of the world that is the tendency, for the grains to be fed to livestock and people eat the livestock products. In the poorer countries of the world, they eat the grain. It tikes about six pounds of feed to produce a pound of meat. So it takes more acres to feed a population when they eat Ihcstock products. The increasing demand for these products is not entirely the result of our population rise. The trend nowadays ,and it is a trend which has the hearty endorsement of the dietitians is toward meals with a higher protein content. The animal products provide this protein in its most attractive form. To convert grains into meat makes all the sense in the world. well-to-d- , : Agnes Jensen E. B.

But such a tax is in effect on an absolute necessity gasoline. Federal, state and local taxes on motor fuel now equal a national average of 9c a gallon. And that amounts to 40 of the service station price of regular grade gasoline, exclusive of the tax. To make a bad matter worse, it is proposed that the gasoline user be socked still harder, by raising the federal tax from its present 3c rate to 1 cents. The excuse for this is that tlie money dolis needed to pay for the multi-billio- n lar highway program, and that the burden should be imposed on highway users. Rut that is a highly misleading alibi, l'cr, if all the money collected from these users were applied to the mid program thered be no financing problem. Simple statistics tell the story'. In the last fiscal year the federal government took in $36 billion from what is known as Sam. How to Lose Customers and Disgust People Science Institute Open to Students collections. These collections include the gasoline tax, along w ith other motor vehicle taxes. But only $2.1 billion of that money was earmarked for of highway purposes. A whopping 12 went into the genthe total $1.5 billion eral fund, to be used for federal activities that have no relation to highways. There is, therefore, no justification whatever for increased gas taxes. What is needed is to put current revenues from highway users where they belong on the road.

News From the Co. Agent's Desk No space on the farm or home garden pays more per acre than the area devoted to vegetables for the family use, reminds Gerald R. Extension Olson, County Agent with Utah State University, Logan. Some have said that it doesnt pay a person to raise his own vegetables when they are so plentiful on the market the year round. Even if this were true, the satisfaction of growing ones own vegetables, whether for a hobby or for practical purposes, more than offsets the material value. And, no matter how fresh the produce may be on the market, nothing can equal the fresh goodness of garden vegetables. Many new varieties have been developed in the past few years which are superior to even the old favorites. Information on these is found in the Extension Circular No. 249, Growing Vegetables Recommended Varieties for Utah. It contains information on varieties especially adapted to this climate, length of rows, depth of planting, and spacing of plants and seeds. It also lists those vegetables which can be planted early, moderately early, and late in the season. In order to have the best vegeseed tables, the best possible should be obtained from reliable, reputable stores. Most seed stores carry these new varieties. Circular No. 249, "Growing VegRecommended Varieties etables for Utah, may be obtained free of charge at your local county extension agents office. -table Ive got little brownish red bugs crawling up my window sill. What are they? a woman asked on the telephone the other day. Tell me what in the world can I do about them, she pleaded. Every time I touch one it smashes, leaving a nasty red smear on the woodwork. The bugs, no bigger than a pinhead, that the lady was asking about are Clover mites. They breed and live on the lawns and shrubbery about the house. Often in the fall and when weather begins to warm up in the spring, they move in droves up the walls and enter houses whenever they can find tiny openings. The only way to keep them out of the house is to spray outdoors. Spray at least 20 feet wide all around the house with an insecticide. A good spray to use is malathion of percent strength. |
