Some farmers used the early open weather to good advantage, while others suffered setFarmers this year may also have to cope with something besides weather and water shortages. Organized labor has announced a determined drive to organize farm workers.Faced. with this prospect, some farmers are belatedly . giving thought to agriculture’s public relations with the urban population, their major consumers. We may expect indeed we should. Farming is much too important to be conducted in an informational Farmers will find that city folk will meet them more than half way when the urbanites understand the farmers’ problems. But it is not something that will be accomplished overnight or without major effort. The important thing is to make a start. 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. .

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.

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.

Potash Institute, 1102 16th St., N. W., Washington 6, D.C. . Santa Fe, New Mexico, was made a royal capital by the Spanish Governor de Peralta in 1610. 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. .
