Special to The Chronicle. Washington, Aug. 10. — President Truman’s “plain English" report to the American people on the economic condition of|the country N and contin ued debate on the Atlantic pact oc cupied the spotlight in Washington the past week, although there were rumblings coming out of both senate and house committee hearings in the confused agricultural picture. Senator Taft’s surprise switch against the pact was viewed by ob servers here as just another “unpre dictable action” by the Ohio senator. These observers believe that Senator Taft built himself up to higher stat ure by reason of his victory over the administration the week previous on the Taft-Hartley act. but they view with some misgivings as to whether or not his anti-vote on the pact ;might not wipe out any gains he made on the Taft-Hartley victory. Foatu:e o: the early debate on the Atlantic pact was the clash between newly appointed Senator Jphn Fos ter Du'.’.6' ‘of New York and Senator Taft. Senator Dulles made his maiden speech a strong plea otr adoption by the senate of the pact. Meanwhile the house ways and means committee, after a long and extensive hearing behind closed, ' doors on extensions to the social se curity program, was ready to report on ^n agreed bill. While most of the so-called pressure groups favor some form of social security extension th^ ^disagreement is sharp on just what ar.d how muqh extension. Only a few dissenters oppose social security in general. Those on record include the Committee tor Constitutional Gov- ernment. the National Economic Council, Property Owners Associa tion of America and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. One of the most bitter fights looms *over the proposals for temporary dis ability insurance. Representatives of the Indiana State Chamber of Com merce saw in the plan an administra tive plan which would eventually take unemployment compensation out of state hands. The Indiana Chamber railed against it as a plan i“which would make the benefits o: j real or feigned sickness often more attractive than wages for working.” i The American Life convention,! Life Insurance Association of Ameri ca and National Association of Life Under wr.ters, declared temporary disability insurance would be :mpos-| sible to administer on a national. • ^cale. The extension would provide • maternity benefits ranging from $«S to $15 per week for "every temi’.e individual” up to a maximum of 14 weeks provided she had been em ployed with social security coverage regularly for a period in advance of • application. * Tne measure also would provid* increasing the payroll tax to two pe. •ent, instead ot one per cent on both employers and employees. The Unit ed States Chamber of Commerce fa-i vors a 50 per cent increase in social Some of the many phases of farm work important for attention in late summer are lifted below by County Agent C. B. Cannon. Agronomy 1. Plan now for winter grazing antt winter cover crops. 2. Plant small grain, ryegrass, and crimson clover in late August. Fertilize lib erally, and use cultipacker after the seeding. 3. Save seed of all kinds for 1949 plantings. 4. Secure good seed and plan for more small grain this fall. 5. Leafy, green hay is more nutritious—do not overcure. 6. Or der lime materials now. 7. Plan for a “Blanket of Green” on all fields by Christmas. 8. Remember—The South will come into her own when her fields are green in the winter.” Horticulture 1. Plant the fall vegetable garden now for better farm living and health. 2. Be sure.to plant large green patches of turnips and other greens, enough for the entire farm. 3. Plant more beans. A late August planting often brings a good price. 4. After peach harvest cut out all broken limbs as a preventive for shot-hole borers. 5. Clean up ground where vegetables have matured to lessen insect and disease damage next sea- VV1 ■■■£ I kb o ^ 1.

How valuable have new poisons been to you on cotton, tobacco, fruit, vegetables? 2. Plan now to'make next year’s wheat, oat, and barley crop as disease-free as possible. 3. Plow under old crop remnants soon after harvest to destroy insects. 4. Control bean beetles with rotenone or cryo lite dust or spray. 5. Clean up all fly breeding places and use DDT.
