Local Economy
To Be Same In'65
By J. I). Moore
Milam County Agnel
Consumer and state and local
gov ernment sending should help
our country have another year
of high economic activity.
‘ Such spending is expected to
provide the major economic stim-
ulus in 1965, with consumer pur-
chases entering primarily on non-

Weeping Love
Winter Grass
By SCS Staff
Weeping lovegrass has been
planted to some extent in Milam
County for several years, hut it
has never been very popular In
most cases it was planted on poor
soil and received little manage
ment in terms of- fertilization and
proper grazing use Consequently,
the value of lovegrass as an im-
portant forage was forgotten.
Research people and District co-
operators in other parts of the
State took a longer look at weep-
ing lovegrass and came up with
a management system that made
a place for the grass. This system
should fit in the Taylor and Cen-
tral Texas Soil Conservation Dis-
tricts
Even though weeping love is a
warm season grass, it is being
used successfully to fill in those
winter months when normal graz-
ing is scarce. The management
ustd is to fertilize it lightly and
defer grazing until about Decem-
ber The grass cures well in the
pasture from December until
March and eliminates the need
for costly hay during these months
Such a grass fits in with our high
producing coastal Bermuda to pro-
vide year long grazing
Several District cooperators in
the county are making plans to
include this grass in their pro-
gram this year They will plant
it between March 1st and April
30th on a good seedbed that is
clean and fum Management will
be primarily for winter grazing.
ACP cost-share assistance will
be available on weeping lovegrass
this year along with coastal and
common Bermuda grass plantings.
Technical assistance is available
to farmers and ranchers through
the Soil Conservation Districts by
SCS technicians
durable goods ami services," r-
imrts John G McHaney, Extension
economist. Texas A&M University.
"The outlook, however, is not as
clear as the 64 picture appeared
at this time last year."
Prospects point to further in-
creases in total output, employ-
ment and consumer income The
civilian labor force is expected to
tie somewhat larger than in the
past several years and the ad-
vance in total economic activity
may not be large enough to ab-
sorb this increase. As a result,
the rate of unemployment will
remain high, he says.
"Consumer purchases ol non-
durable goods and services will
increase," McHaney says, "while
sales of such durable goods as
automobiles are not expected to
match those of 1964 FI von though
the auto industry may not contri-
bute to expanding the economy
over 1964, it Ls likely to have a
prosjierous year.”
A downward trend in housing
starts could have a dampening
effect on purchases of such dur-
ables as house furnishings and
equipment Little or no additional
economic stimulus is thus fore-
seen from this source.
An increase of more than $5
billion in state and local govern-
ment purchases is in view for
the coming year. This increase
would be at a faster rate than
in 1964 and would definitely spur
the economy, he adds.
Federal purchases of goods and
services, however, are anticipated
to show little variation, due main-
ly to the holding down of defense
expenditures, nevertheless, some
drastic economic shift could bring
about a change in government
policy in this area, points out the
economist.
Helping lo determine the coun-
try's pace of economic expansion
are investment expenditures for
new plants and equipment. This
year's investments will probably
run alxrnt 13 percent above 1963,
one of the largest annual increases
in post-war years, predicts the
economist.
"Such investments in 1965, how-
ever, are expected to fall short
of a similar substantial increase,"
therefore, is not likely to add to
the gross national product.
