Jake Garn U.S. Senator for Utah If you're happy about the figures on your 1980 federal income tax form, don't read any further. If you're not horrified by the increasing proportion of your d income going to Uncle Sam, then my arguments in support of President Reagan's tax cut proposals won't mean very much.

E. Arlo Richardson, state climatologist at Utah State University, points out that each plant species has its own preferred temperature for germination. You will note this in most seed rn1iirnnps. ing the $55.9 billion he has requested for fiscal 1982. The tax cut. however,, faces a more difficult course. The same folks in Washington whose big spending philosophies gave us double-dig- it inflation and 20 percent interest rates have launched a furious attack against massive individual tax cuts. Although they cite complex statistical models, I believe their argument can be boiled down to this: Somehow it is more inflationary for you to keep your money and spend it than giving it to the federal government for it to spend. While opponents of the individual tax cut proposal are advancing alternative ideas, the President's program is the only one that provides real relief for middle income taxpayers and a departure from "business as usual." Business as usual means the federal government will continue to take more and more of the nation's wealth and use it for miscellaneous projects, most of which are inefficient, some of which are completely unnecessary and even incredible $3,477 because of harmful, and all of which shift decision-makin- g inflation and higher tax liability. power from President Reagan, in his "Ecoworkers and savers to bureaunomic Recovery Program," has crats.

As the soil warms to above 50, you can expect germination to begin in vegetables sqch as corn that require warm spil for germination. Richardson says you can expect rapid progress' in germination of most vegetable species when the soil temperature is between 65 and 80 degrees. But most plants germinate very poorly when soil temperatures exceed 95 to 105 degrees, as mayoccur with sandy soils during the middle of the summer.

It can be a helpful guide to planting and to managing soil temperatures in your garden. before planting. You can reduce the sou 10 temperature as much as with organic degrees by mulching mulches. On the other hand, you can increase soil temperature about 8 degrees by mulching with black plastic and about 10 degrees by using clear plastic, the climatologist noted. Also, he says you can tend to increase soil temperature 10 to 15 degrees to enhance germination .and growth of the plants by aligning the rows east to west. This allows the suns rays to focus more effectively on the soil and plants. You can affect soil temperature in various areas of your garden, Richardson says, by cultural practices such as irrigation, mulching and cultivation. Cold water from streams, canals and taps will cool the soil temperature in the garden quite drastically.
