propriations for 1954 have been
cut by $5,9 billion by Congress
and the administration. As
Texas, taxpayers bear approxi-
mately 4.22 percent of tin* Fed-
eral tax total, savings affected
will reach $291,150,000 for, the
next fiscal year.
The. amount saved represents
almost one half of the total an-
nual cost of operating the state
government in Texas, llersehel
Nix, executive vice-president of
the regional chamber, said.
■'Congress cut $141! billion
from the $55 9 billion budget of
the' administration,” Nix said

identify the farm tractor when
used on the highway is a chief
cause of automobile-tractor
wrecks.
A single white light was the
only rear end identification on
this farm tractor. The driver,
traveling in predawn darkness
on a busy Texas highway, was
overtaken by a fast moving auto-
mobile. The white light,on the
wrong side of the rood confused
the auto driver, lie swerved
when he finally saw the tractor
but too laic. The tractor driver
lay dead, The other critically
injured A new automobile and
a farm tractor were scattered
along the roadside A terrible
price to pay for improper light-
ing.
According to W. 1,. Ulioh, ex.
tension agricultural engineer,
this is no isolated example of
what happens many times every
year Hear end collisions ac-
count for 3(5 percent of the trac-
tor accidents and 14 tractor-
driver fatalities occur for each
auto fatality from highway trac-
tor auto accidents.
Here is Ulich's answer to the
problem. Be sure you can see
ahead, to the side and rear of
the vehicle you are operating.
Be sure that others can see your
tractor. Use flags during the
day and proper lighting at night
to identify it. Be sure the steer-
ing mechanism is in good shape.
More than two inches of play
in the steering wheel is too
much. Be sure you can stop.
Keep brakes equalized and in
adjustment for quick stops. Be
familiar with tractor you are
operating and don't carry pass-
engers.
And finally, says Ulich, re-
member, the life you save may
be your.own. The 14 to 1 odds
strongly emphasize this fact and
the Importance of preventing
tractor auto collisions on the
highway.

2nd BASE
By

From the book "How to Flay"

Chapter 20
Things to Remember
The same method Is used In
determining which infielder
shall cover second base on
ALL OTHER attempted
steals. That is, second base is
covered according to the
pitch. Bear this In mind.
When there is a batter up who
Is a dead right-field hitter,
one who invariably hits to
that field, then the shortstop
ALWAYS should cover, re-
gardless of the pitch. And if a
dead left-field hitter is up,
then the second baseman shall
cover.
On Relay Throws
When a ball is hit to right
field, or to right-center for an
extra-base hit, the second
baseman should run out far
enough to receive the ball
from the outfielder, and then
relay the ball on a LINE
THROW or on the FIRST
HOP to the liasc where the
play Is being made. The sec-
ond baseman should follow
the distance of the ball und
determine in his own mind if
it is good for three bases, or
perhaps a home run. Then he
will know where to throw the
ball. If the second baseman
feels the long drive to right
or to right-center will be good
for no more than a double, he
should break for second base
immediately, and be in a po-
sition to handle the play.
Many runners have been cut
down at second base by try-
ing to stretch a single. If the
ball Is hit to left field, the
shortstop is to take the play
at second, with the second
baseman backing up in case
there Is a bad hop or a wild
throw from the outfield.
Whenever it is possible, be
sure to get in front of ground
balls so that In case you fum-
ble, or in case there is a bad
hop,you still may be able to
BLOCK the ball with your
body, recover and get the
man at first base. Do not play
a ball at your side If It Is pos-
sible to get In front of it.
Remember that errors al-
ways are excusable, but men-
tal mistakes are inexcusable.
You hear the expression on
the diamond about the "bone-
head” play. Keep your mind
on the game, and you'll avoid
mental blunders, The situa-
tion of the game at every
pitch should be in your mind.
You must know at all times—
HOW MANY ARE OUT, THE
INNING, THE SCORE. Do not
rely on the umpire, the score-
board or another player for
this information.
Read these instructions as
often as possible, and don’t
forget that practice makes
perfect—even in baseball,
