Friday Mar. 29. 1946 OM XttCCHSESSUAW Mr. and Mrs. Frank Price and Carl Martin were business visitors in Domestic Fur Raising Becomes Agricultural Pursuit. After a number of attempts during the past few years, I introduced and had passed in the House last week a bill transferring domestic animals and Angora rabbits from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Agriculture. This industry has grown to the point where it is becoming a major industry. The transfer makes possible the producers to have the benefit of the experimental work carried on 'by the Department; also, to receive benefits of farm loans under the Farm Credit Administration. The raising of these animals is now legally classified as an agricultural pursuit. X. Trend to a Balanced Budget Appear Likely. Of good news to the taxpayers is the prospect that there is a definite trend toward a balanced budget in the next fiscal year, .beginning July 1, and to a 'deficit, for the current fiscal year that will be $5,760,000,000 smaller than of- -' ficially .estimated only last January. Government finances are in far better shape than anyone expected them to be .at this time, and indications are that revenue for the year ending June 30 will be around $4,000,000,000 higher than it was estimated in January. Deficits are declining almost to the vanishing point. The Treasury collected 'more money than it spent in February and will do even better after March 15 taxes are in. . The outlook on spending is that Government operations will cost approximately $1,700,000,000 less than the President thought they would cost. The basis for the present outlook lies in, unexpectedly, high, tax receipts from individual income taxes.

Such soldiers are to be stationed in the U. S. and, if possible, close to their homes. Utah agriculture, determined to hold its" markets by maintaining quality production, has placed more than 35,500,000. acres of cropland under "soil conservation service. "This growing' emphasis on ' care of the soil promises not only to keep in full service the acreage which contributed so much to the war effort but also to produce foods of a quality that will (the American diet, said Harvey A. Baum, head1' of produce-buyin- g operations for A & P Food Stores, distributor of Utah onions, carrots, potatoes and tomatoes. In many soil conservation districts during the war our field buying offices found production of fruits and vegetables up as much as 20 par cent. Much of this improvement was due to prewar practices." Baum pointed out that at the present time more than half of the nation's agricultural landt nearly f 800,000,000 acres on 3,592,000 farms in 45 states is under such planning, more than 18,000 Utah farms being enrolled. Besides improving the quality and increasing the volume of farm production, cropland conservation coincides with a growing efficiency in the distribution of food, he said. The war emphasized the need for better packaging, speedier shipment, more effective refrigeration and a concerted war on waste. Combined with such improvements in distribution, the efforts of fanners to produce more efficiently will mean a general reduction of the nation's food bill and an increase in farm income, Baum added. war-expand- ed up-gra- de soil-savi- ng Mr. and Mrs. George Kennedy and Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Kennedy and family of Ogden, were Sunday guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Kennedy.
