PEOPLE WANT BUDGET CUT
On several previous occasions I
have mentioned my serious con
cem over the Federal Budget.
Every day I am hearing from peo-
jle, by mail and in personal con
versations, on this subject.
The views which have been ex
pressed to me convince me that
the people of this country want
to see Congress reduce the pro
posed budget for 1958. I am fur
ther convinced that the people
want to see a start made toward
reduction of the public debt.
STUDENTS REQUEST ACTION
Iwas greatly impressed by a
letter I received during the past
week from the students at St.
Johns High School in Charleston
County. They declared that, in
their opinion, the “budget must
be drastically cut.”
But the thing that impressed
me most with this fine letter was
that the young people of this
country are becoming more aware
of the vital import this budget has
for them in the future.
They are looking to Congress
collectively and to the members
Individually to do something to
bring about greater economy in
the Federal Government. These
young people realize that exces
sive spending today by the Fed
eral Government means they will
have to pay the bills tomorrow.
We know this is true because to
day we are paying the debts of
the post-war days of World War
II, as well as the costs of the war
itself.
SAY THEIR FAITH SHAKEN
The students who wrote the let
ter stated that their faith, with
reference to Congress, is being
quite shaken. I can well under
stand that view if Congress fails
to reduce the budget.
I am going to do everything in
my power to restore the faith of
these young people in their gov
ernment by trying tochop-off and
chop-out of the budget as much
non-essential spending as pos
sible.
When the one and a half bil
lion dollar rivers and harbors
authorization bill came up in the
Senate, nearly 400 million dollars
were for projects which had not
been approved by the Army En
gineers or by the Bureau of the
Budget. I voted first to send the
bill back to the Public Works
Committee until recommendations
could be received as to whether
the projects were essential or not.
But the Senate voted against
sending the bill back to commit
tee, so then I voted against the
bill.
NO JUSTIFICATION FOR
SOME FUNDS
I could not see any justification
for authorizing the spending of
400 million dollars which had not
been recommended by the appro
priate agencies of the Govern
ment. There is no need to have
those agencies if we do not take
the time to receive their advice
on such matters.
Dollars today will only be
worth dimes tomorrow if we do
not stop spending more each year
in times of prosperity and thus
adding to the spiral of inflation.
I am confident the American
system of government cannot be
destroyed from outside. I do not
want to see it destroyed from
within by prodigal spending.
NEW STEP TOWARD BUDGET
CONTROL
The Senate has now passed a
bill which I co-sponsored to pro
vide for a Joint House-Senate
Committee on the Budget so as
to give the Congress better in
formation on the annual budget
and a greater control over it.
Three times previously, in other
years, the Senate has approved a
similar bill, but on neither occa
sion has the House also approved
the bill. Is view’ of the fact that
about 70 members of the Senate
joined in sponsoring the bill this
year, I am hopeful it will be ap
proved by the House.
EQUAL RIGHTS SOUGHT FOR
WOMEN
I have joined as co-sponsor of
a resolution which would submit
to the States a proposal to amend
the Constitution so as to provide
for equal rights under law for the
women of this country.

Honestly, there’s no sense in putting

COTTON USE
Cotton is maintaining its per
capita use in this country pretty
well. The general increase in use
of fibers in our time has mostly
been in synthetics. But cotton’s
position improved a little in 1956.
The past year 23.8 pounds of
cotton per person were used in
this country* That’s up 2.6 pounds
from the year before. We averag
ed using 9.1 pounds of manmade
fibers. This was a decrease of 11.7
percent from 1955.
The use of wool, that conducted
an aggressive research and pro
motion campaign, was up 10.3 per
cent to 3.2 pounds per person.
Cotton once had to go it alone,
without song and fury, just a
great dumb giant that bulked its
way through history. 'But in our
competition came. And cotton
had to wake up. The National Cot
ton Council, stepped up research
(private and public), sales promo
tion and styling, improved fabrics,
etc., are some of the avenues that
are leading cotton into the light
during our time.
Higher yields of better cottons
too are aiding in today’s cotton
picture. In this state our 5-Acre
Cotton Improvement Contest has
been, and still is, a big factor.
WILEY SORGHUM
You might want to try some of
that new Wiley sorghum for sy
rup or forage this year. It was
developed by USD A and a group
of experiment stations in the
Southeast and is being released
through local seedsmen this
spring for the first time. Dr. Pa-
den here at Clemson helped in de
veloping and testing this new sor
ghum and he feels, in general
growth and disease resistance, it
is considerably better than the
older varieties against which it
has been thoroughly tested.

I feel that the time is over-due

KEEP HOGS COOL
Hot weather is not long off.
Many farmers will be hogging off
grain, and then later corn. It gets
mighty hot out there in those
fields at times, and hogs don’t do
best when they are too hot. Ex
periments even up in Minnesota
have proved the value of keeping
hogs reasonably cool when good
gains are desired.
On about as hot a day as I
ever felt, I was on Raymond
few summers back. He had a lot
of fine hogs in a large field of
good corn and soybeans. They had
eaten their fills early, and when
I got there near noon a great
mound of them were lying under
a crude but practical shed he had
rigged up there back of the bam.
An .old 5-foot attic fan he had
picked up cheap was blowing
across them., as water dripped
on them from a few small over
head sprinklers. Not much water
and not so much breeze. But en
ough that the evaporiation kept
those fine hogs perfectly cool.
Not one was panting, and they
were sleeping soundly. Growing
and fattening, and eating enough
to make as good gains as in cool
weather!
FROM THE COUNTY AGENTS
Barkesdale of Abbeville: “Sixty
thousand pine seedlings were dis
tributed to 60 4-H Club members
for each to start a tree-growing
demonstration with.”
Rogers of Allendale: “Most of
onr grain is free of weeds due to
widespread spraying with 2,4-D
back in February.”
Cain of Calhoun: “Our barley
acreage is double that of last
year. This crop is rather new for
the Lowcountry, and it’s doing
well on the stronger lands.”
Garvin of Greenwood: “We are
feeding out more of our cattle.
Two farmers have sold the 139
head they fed out for $23,565.54.”
Punch ess of Edgefield: “Num
erous cases of vegetable weevil in
turnips and carrots reported.”
What next? Insects are always
breaking out at new places.

READING THE FUTURE
O F OLD some men tried to read
signs in the skies and watched
the flight of birds in an effort to
read the future. And today some
may still use ouija boards or con
sult some fortune-tellers on a side
street. But why should men want
to read their future? For it cannot
be read.
The “pleasures of hope” and
“great expectations” would be ban
ished for many who might like to
read their future. The known pat
tern of the days and the months
would become “staled by fre
quence.” For “If all the skies were
sunshine, our laces would be fain
to feel once more upon them the
cooling drip of rain.”
Knowing that an evil thing would
befall him would be enough to rob
a man of all joy and peace. He
would ba somewhat like the
doomed criminal upon whom the
shadow of a gallows has fallen.
Why desire to put yourself in a
death-row by reading the riddle of
the future?
Jesus warned men about borrow
ing trouble by harboring thoughts
of the future. “Sufficient unto the
day,” he said, “is the evil there
of.” Every man has enough of
problems to tax his thought today.
And the joys and pleasures of the
day should give him a contented-
heart and lead him to greater faith.
