Money und figures have been
making the news in Washington for
the past week or so. Some of the
news was good and some of it bad.
The bad news for the public was
the fact that the nation’s living
costs increased for the second
straight month. Higher prices for
food, rent, medical care, gasoline
and motor oil were cited by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics as the
chief factor in the cost-of-living in
crease, l
Living costs reached a peak last
November, from which they de
chned during the winter. They be
gan rising again in the spring' and
early summer and reached a new
high in mid June. The mid-June
figure was 1416 per cent of the
1947-49 average. The latest index,
reflecting mid July ‘prices and es
tablishing another record, was 114.7.
@® The good news for the nation
was the announcement by Treasury
Secretary Humphrey that the U, 8.
has reached the turning point tow
ard a balanced budget. He an
nounced the government will spend
$72,100,000,000 in the fiscal year
1064 and have net receipts of $68,-
500,000,000, It will wind up the
vear with a deficit of $3,800,000,000
and a national debt of $271,100,.
000,000, |
These figures mean that the nl~‘
tional debt will be $1,900,000,000
lower than the administration pre.
dicted in July.
The new figures place the budget
almost in balance next July 30,‘
considering straight cash income to
the government and cash outgo,
® The government also an
nounced that the public paid a rec-‘
ord amount of taxes in the l.uti
fiscal year-—569,687,000,000, Total
collections were 7.2 per cent higher
than in the previous year.

smallest percentage of any classi
fication. Corporations paid income
and profits taxes amounting to $21,.

595,000,000 in fiscal 1953,

and employment taxes was 10.4 per!
cent. Individuals paid $33,738,000,-
000 in 1952, In fiscal 1953 they
paid $37,2556,000,000, This made
individual tax payments the biggest
single source of revenue.
Manufacturers paid $2,206,000,.
000 in excise taxes in 1952 and $2,-
863,000,000 in 1953, Aleohol tax-|

By CHESTER CLARDY z
Lupine seems to be staging a come
back in the Flint River Sofl. Comr;i
vation District. The rather severe
’winurs in 1950 and 1951 killed bhe!
lupine and many farmers quit plant
ing it. (Two bad years out of ten.) |
A great deal of the popularity in the '
past for Blue Lupine was due to
ease of producing a seed crop and,
‘the high price of the seed. Lupine
‘was a good cash crop. Now, fumera%
are planting lupine seed preceding
corn because of the big increase in'
corn yields that they get. A good |
crop of lupine adds from 75 to 200
pounds of actual nitrogen to the soil. |
The organic matter helps hold the
moisture so the corn ecan go throuzh,
a dry spell better. Back in 1943,
most lupine was planted between
August 25 and September 15. In the
past few years, many have deltyed’
planting until November and Decem
ber. Possibly the best time to plant |
is around October 1, !
There are several advantages to!
early planting. The plants get well
rooted before the first cold spell and
loss from winter injury is rduced.i
The crop makes more fall growth so
it can be turned under earlier in
the spring and the land prepared for
the following crop.
Lupine seed should be well inocu
lated just before planting; should be
protected from the wind and sun;
'and should be covered promptly
about 1 inch deep. The price of
’seed is low so to get maximum re
lsults as a cover and green manure
lcrop plant 100 pounds of seed per
acre. A smaller seeding rate if crop
iis to be harvested for seed.
