Looking Ahead by Dr. George S Benson
Dr. George S Benson argues that US foreign aid since 1940 cost $98 billion, equaling all tax revenue from 1900 to 1940, and questions the efficacy of spending to win friends. He cites European antipathy, cites Montanelli and Simms, and references Eugene W Castle's critique of US information programs.

Alfalfa Weevil Control in Early Spring Spread
The alfalfa weevil has caused millions in Utah crop losses since 1904 and now affects much of the west. Research led by F V Lieberman at Utah State Agricultural College supports a four ounce per acre heptachlor or dieldrin spray applied when first growth is one half to two inches high, typically between March 5 and April 15, to kill overwintering adults and reduce future larvae.

The guide cites sufficient output to meet needs with no surplus, totaling 1 023 500 acres nationwide, down from 1 083 400 in 1954, with projected production near 272 million bushels, about 5 percent below 1954.

Vaccinated cattle receive lenient brucellosis tests
County agent Daniel Roberts told farmers in Idaho that officially vaccinated cattle receive a more lenient brucellosis test reading. Dr. A P Schneider, state director of the bureau of animal husbandry, said a single full dilution upward grants the vaccinated status, meaning a test showing two plus incomplete will be treated as the prior one plus incomplete.

Idaho Adopts Lenient Reading for Calf Vaccinates
In Idaho since November 15, the livestock test reading changed so vaccinated animals are not reactors unless a three plus titre is reached. Dr. Schneider notes no greater risk in accepting two plus readings in calfhood vaccinates than one plus in nonvaccinated herds, but warns there is some risk based on herd status. Interstate shipments must still follow old rules until destination states approve the new system.
