Another first for California ingenuity is just around
the corner. Sometime next year in Sonoma County, man
will for the first time harness commercially the power inherent in the natural steam that provides one of natures
greatest ‘spectacles, the geyser. fs :
Just recently the Thermal Power Company brought in
the first new steam well in two years northeas tof Healds‘berg and immediately started drilling on the next of a series
of seven that will supply the basic power for a 12,500 kilowatt generating plant which Pacific Gas and Electric Company will start building next month.
Nature is an abundant provider, from the molten core
of the earth to the mineral treasurers hidden high in its
loftiest ranges. Fortunately, nature also provided man with
the ingenuity to find and utilize those treasures.

State Gen. Fund
Has $13 Million .
The state’s general fund ended
the . 1958-59. fiscal_year with a
cash balance of $13,773,358, State
Controller Alan Cranston repoted this week.
.
But general fund expenditures ;
still outran revenues by $61,659,388, or better than $5 million
a month, Cranston said.
This despite the fact that the
State Legislature advanced the
collection of $55,167,752 in insurance companies taxes . from
November to June.
Other factors which contributed to the healthy glow. of the
general fund were transfers from
the last of the reserve funds and
stringent governmental economies that saved an estimated $5
million in the last six months of
the fiscal year.
One of the transfers was a $55
million shift that killed off the
so-called “Rainy Day” fund created out of World War II reve-nues and left untouched until
recent high-expenditure, lowrevenue years.
Total revenues for the 1958-59
fiscal year were. $1,211,682,245,
an increase of $104,487, 456 or
9.44 per cent over the 1957-58
fiscal year, Cranston said,
Total expenditures were $1,273,341,633, an increase of $98,824,139 or 8.41 per cent over the
prior fiscal, year.
i The June 30 cash balance of
: $13,773,358 compares with a. balance of $5,728,701 as of June 30,
1958, Cranston said.
Cranston said the foregoing
figures, contained in the Controller’s preliminary annual report
‘just issued, reflect merely the
cash position of the general fund
as of June 30 and do not account
for obligations incurred but not
yet paid nor revenues accrued but
not yet realized.

Amending The
Amendments
When the proposal to permit
Tennessee Valley Authority to
issue revenue bonds to finance
future electric. power development first came into the limelight, it was met with a wave
of protest. Great numbers of
people in and out of the government feared that it would amount
to freeing TVA of all effective
controls and turning it loose to
do as it wished.
To meet these objections, certain limiting amendments were
anned to the bill. One of the most
important confined TVA’s power
operations to its service area as
of July 1, 1957.
But see what happened. A
House committee then amended
the amendment. TVA was given
authority to enter the power
business in four cities outside
that area.
The moral certainly is plain.
Other amendments to the amendments could authorize TVA to
move into 40 or 400 or any number of cities and communities.
And, if past experience with socialized business tells us anything,
that ultimately would happen.
There’s no safe way to contain
or limit state socialism. The only
workable tactic, if free. enterprize and representative government are to be preserved, is to
blot it out.

Use Grass Mixes
Instead Of 1 Kind
For New Lawns
Whether you are establishing
a.new lawn this autumn or revitalizing an old one; there is no
hard and fast rule about which
kind of grass you use.
“ “But you will be wise to stick
with grass mixtures and not try
a single variety, unless you’re an
expert with a special “thumb for
grass.”
’ This. advice is given by Robert
W. Schery, director of the Better
Lawn and Turf Institute and a
nationally known authority on
grass-seed, in a new American
Potash Institute handbook, “You
Can Grow a Good Lawn,” soon
to be issued.
“In a clearly presented map,
Dr. Schery outlines where certain
lawn grasses are most appropriate
for the various climatic zones of
the United States, ranging from
Kentucky bluegrass and req fescue in the North and East to
Zoysia and Bermuda in the deeper
South and Buffalo and Wheatgrass in certain areas of the West.
He also presentes a graphic table
giving the seeding rates of different grasses—how many pounds
per square foot to apply.
Dr. Schery advises every home
owner to “look for the ingredient
listing on the seed box and demand appropriate quality species—not impermanent rye grass
or other coarse hay grasses.”
Most “cheap seed” is actually
expensive, Schery explains. For
example, there are over two million bluegrass seeds to the pound,
but only 250,000 rye grass seeds.
Plant for plant, then, bluegrass
is cheaper, while providing such
added feautres as greater permanence and the ability to spread
by underground stems.

fall, next spring, for many seasons to come—the 32-page handbook (with four-color cover) can

The California Almond Grow‘ers Exchange, with headquarters
in Sacramento, was organized in
1910.
Something To
Remember
In mid-June, a ceremony was
held near the city of Fresno,
California. The occasion was the
dedication of -an $80 million
hydrogleo{nic project—financed,
built, and now operated by a
heavily taxed, publicly-regulated
electric company, the Pacific Gas
and electric Company.
The president df that company
took the occasion to say something that applies to’ all enterprise in this country, big or little.
In his words: “The foundation of
our American economy is its business system. The invested capital
of millions of American in productive enterprise buildg the
plants and provides the tools;
thesse in turn produce the goods
and at the same time provide the
employment and ,consumer income for their distribution.
“Every home owner, every
property owner of any ‘kind,
every person with'a savings account or a life insurance policy
is a capitalist. The word has. been
maligned by socialists, communists ang others, but none of
them has been able to alter the
simple truth about capitalism. Its
values are strength of our way
of life and its benefits are shared
by all the people. No detractor
has offered a better alternative
to free men.
“It is difficult to understand.
why some people who thrive in
the blessings of our. way of life
would destroy it. Some knowingly and some unwittingly attack
it, with the very basic elegtric
utility industry ag one of their
prime targets. It should be obvious that destruction of any basic
part of a structure weakens the
whole and ¢an only lead, to its
disintegration.”
That last sentence should be
memorized by people, including
public officials and, business men
who pay lip service to free enterprise but because of selfishness
or blindness think a “Tittle socialism,” as in power production, is
a good thing. If it ig proper and
right in principle to socialize the
electric industry, it 8 just as),
propere ang as rghth in principle
to socialize any other industry
in this country. : :
As Essential
As Land
Some time: ago authorities in
one of the provinces -of Canada
considered investigating the distribution and production of farm
equipment with the thought that
nationalization of the industry
might be advisable to reduce
prices of essential agricultural
machinery. How government
operation would silve the farm
machinery price problem in Canada was not explained. However,
this highlights a fact that is ofen
overlooked: modern farm equipment is almost as essential as the
lang itself to present-day agriculture. The revolutionary developments that have taken place in
the American farm equipment
industry in the last 50 years have
been pretty. much taken for granted, as is the fact that it takes
fewer and fewer people to produce the food and fiber for a
growing nation, thus releasing
others to help produce the luxuries as well as necessities that
make life so good fer all of us.
It is interesting to note the
fundamental factors responsible
for the growth of the modern
farm equipment industry. They
are the same factors responsible
for great achievements in a thousand other areas. First, is the
profit motive which gives drive
to companies as well as to individuals. Probably the second most
potent force is the free market
which insures businesses and individuals the right to market
their wares if they are able to
meet the needs of consumers, and
if they meet the competition of
their neighbors who have the
same ‘objective. And ,of course,
the third factor in the growth
of the farm equipment industry
in the United States is a political system which holds inviolate the principle of the free market as well as the right of private citizens to make a_ profit.
No combination of supermen in
the name of the state could have
possibily devised the hundreds of
types of machines that are at the
disposal of today’s farmers: machines that cut production costs,
conserve the land, ahd make the
family farm a business operation
of the highest order. Not only has
the farm equipment industry devised them; it has mass produced
them at minimum prices.
