One can only marvel at the seeming serenity with which the Congress
countenances the contempt of the bureaucrats In Washington. The ar-
rogance of the bureaucrat was never more pointed than In the closing
weeks of the government's fiscal year which ended on June 30. At
that date federal agencies had on the payroll a total of 3,026,376 persons.
That, according to Congressman George Mahun, Chairman of the Joint
Committee on Reduction of Federal Expenditures, was "the highest
federal civilian employment level since November, 1945."
But an even more stunning figure Is the 95,350 employees thai were
added to the federal employment rolls In the course of Just one month.
Even as Congress was demanding cutbacks in Federal spending, ac-
ceding to Administration demands to increase taxes, and reviewing
laidgct request* for hours on end, the bureaucrats were packing the
payroll. The Transportation Department, for example, added 2,959 and
the Veteran's Administration recruited 3,604 persons.
The Winchester, Virginia, Evening Stur took note of the bureaucracy's
response to demands for economy by the Congress. Here is what it
mid:
"Coming at a time when federal officials supposedly were concen-
trating on holding lite line on spending, one can only imagine what the
record might have shown if budgetary considerations had played no
part in the federal government's hiring plans.
"Or was It In anticipation of a clampdown by Congress on hiring
in the new fiscal year that the federal agencies loaded llieir payrolls in
the declining weeks of fiscal 1968? Whatever the excuse, the national
administration is not evidencing capability in administering its own
house.
"Aside from the fact such mismanagement provides ample ammuni-
tion for the political opposition. It is a sad finale to an administration
Which lias run up the largest peacetime deficit in history."
Those arc our sentiments, exactly. And now that Congress Is back
in Washington from the Convention madness, how about whacking a
few of those bureaucrats where it hurts — In the payroll. Otherwise a
lot of us are going to have the sinking feeling that the surtax we're all
paying is being siphoned off by new payroliera the bureaucrats had
waiting in the wings.

Prepare Surface
Before Painting
• A more professional Job may be
obtained when painting Interior
\vall.s if care is taken to prepare
the wall surface prior to the ap-
plication of the paint, says W. S.
Allen, Extension agricuUiral engi-
neer All small cracks and nail
holes should Ik- filled wlih spack-
ling compound and sanded smooth.
The wall will look better if II is
rubbed down with a medium coarse
sandp«i[>er to remove all the little
imperfection* that seem to collect
on the surface. The appearance ol
the final coat is going to be only
us good as the surface under it.
1 Economical
Servings
If you end up with leftover vege-
tables kit not quite enough to
serve your family for another
meal, here's an idea from Gwen-
dolyne C'lyntt, Kxtension consumer
marketing specialist at Texas A&M
University. Combine a single left-
over vegetable or a medley of sev-
eral vegetables with a cream sauce
and seasonings to make delicious
and economical soup. Milk, used as
the base for the cream soup, pro-
vides your family with the added
j I Minus of valuable calcium and pro-
tein. Serve a tasty vegetable cream
; soup made this thrifty way for a
I family lunch or supper.
Runoff Water On
Cropland Creates
Major Problem
Controlling runoff water from
cropland is a major problem in
the Bastrop County Soil and Water
Conservation District. Terraces col-
lect water from a large area and
concentrate It In a small area. A
well shaped and vegetated water
way Is the best and least exten-
sive way to lower water from the
field to the bottom.
In many cases there are no exist-
ing waterways on the farm, mak-
ing it necessary to locate the water-
ways and establish a good grass
cover before the terraces are built.
Soil Conservation Service techni-
cians find that the best locations
for waterways are In natural dralas
already In the field, because the
water will run to such places even
though the field Is not terraced.
Usually, these natural drains can
be made Into waterways with very
little shaping before grass Is plant-
ed. Shaping is sometimes neces-
sary in other locations to provide
enough channel to (-onfine the ex-
pected runoff during heavy reins.
The size of the waterway depends
on the number of acres draining
Into it and the kind of vegetation
used. With a heavy rain in a short
period of time, a waterway must
be able to carry a large volume
of runoff watc wltliout overtopping
or eroding. Two or more small
waterways serving the same num-
ber of acres has an advantage over
one large waterway. They take
about the same land area but are
less expensive to shape and n sod
cover on them is easier to main-
tain because of the smaller volume
of water each will carry.
Bermuda grass and K. R. blue-
stem are two grasses commonly
used In this area to provide a cover
in waterways. Bermuda forms a
dense turf for the water to run
over while K. R bluestem is a
bunch grass that Is more easily
washed out Its use should be con-
fined to gentle slopes.
Maintenance is a very important
management. An inspection after j
each rain will sometimes save a j
costly reshaping Job.
Farmers who are having water- i
way problems on their farms
should contact the work Unit Head
quarters of the Bastrop County Soil
and Water Conservation District,
the County Agent, or the local Agri-
cultural Stabilization and Conserva-
tion office.
