Democratic Senators
Call on Congress 10
Repeal 0Ieo Taxes

Two Democratic Senators today
urged Congress 70 repeal. cnee
and for al. lonE standing Federal
taxes On oleoTArgArlne
/ 1T IS past time 20 repeal these
un-AmerSan Federal anti mar
garine laws and pass On 10 other
things. Senator Fllhrigh, O.
Arkansas told the Senate Finance
Committee as II opened q fve-dsy
hearing on the subject
| Senator Mayhank OF South
Carolina said The American
people are no longer willing 10
tolerate the existence Of such q
restraining hand on the manufac-
tuner OF one product product
which has every right TO take its
deserved place and stand on its
own merits"
! Senator Fulhr1ght read TO the
committee a letter from Senator
Saltonstall. Republican. of MaSsa-
chuSetts. giving his support TO the
House-approyed tax repeal bill
which also allows free flow Of
eolored margarine across State
lines.
The committee has before II
this bill. sponsored by Represen-
tative Poaee. Democrat. of Texas,
and a second measure sponsored
by Senator Wiley. Republican. Of
the dairy State OF Wisconsin, and
Is other Senators, which repeals
taxes but bans interstate shipment
OF colored margarine.
Senator Fulbright noted predic-
tons had been made that pas
sage OF the Poage bill would strike
a severe blow at dairymen. and
then commented:
Il think that the ruin-to- the
dairy industry argument can be
disposed OF as a very red herring
indeed"
He said that he did not take
these predictions seriously and
added that i am fairly well Ger
tam IN my own mind that neither
do intelligent spokesman for the
dairy industry. Senator Fulbright
said the Wiley bin gives the con-
sumner no protection against de-
ception in labelling. while the
Poage bill would protect the buyer.
Senator Fulbright said Congress
would make "a mockery of the
commerce clause of the Consti-
tuition" II 1t we're to ban inter-
state shipment of margarine.
Senator Maybank charged that
margarine is denied the use of
yellow coloring simply because
the dairy industry has used its
enormous political influences TO
drive a competitive product of the
counter"

rural lines are benefting farmers
N the picture above one of the cows on Curtis
i II. Simmons Scott County farm is actually
choosing electrically cured hay in preference to
feld-cured The tell the difference be-
hay dried electrically has more foliage,
smells better, tastes better.
What's the difference to the farmer? Listen to
Floyd Lark, who operates the Simmons farm:
Our averaging about 100 pounds more
per head, says Floyd, than they did before we
put the hay drier in. Hay still comes from the
same 10 acres. He estimates that barn-cured hay
is "about $3.50 higher in food value than field
cured" And he adds 81 think our milk production
has about doubled since began feeding barn
cured hay"
Owner Simmons says, Before we got the hay
drier always a chance of losing our hay
crop because of wet weather. Now cut the hay
and store it the next afternoon Rainy weather has
little fear for in curing hay now.
This hay drier is believed to be the first in Scott
County, although there about 500 in the
state. There to be more and more because
last year-according to V.P.I. experts-nearly
100000 tons of hay were damaged by wet
weather Virginia farms!
From this typical experience the value of electric hay

modern tools for better farming that have come to

The Washington County Devel

in 1947. Some of the citizens OF
that county decided to work to-
gether to make their community
a better and more prosperous
one. Naturally, the first step was
to see what they had. The next
step was to plan for the future
use Of their resources. They have
studied their advantages and the
needs; what they have and what
they can do with it. Out of this
study have come plans for bet

Where proper spacing is important

If you've ever planted corn, you know the
value of proper spacing. Another place where
spacing pays is on your telephone party
line.
On party line, spacing" means allowing
a little time between calls. When you do this,
you give others chance to use the line.
It's little things like this that make your
party-line service good service. When every
body on the line is considerate and courteous,
each party gets full value from his telephone.

Check Farm Equipment
Needs Now

WHETHER YOU BUILD OF buy,
start thinking of next years equip
ment for the farm, advises F. A.
Chisholm, agronomist of the Wyo-
ming agricultural extension serv-
ice. Check especially the weed con
troll equipment, such as sprayers.
This years demand for sprayers
far exceeded the supply, he said.
This was due largely to farmers
who used 2,4-D for weed control.
Because this chemical is effective,
chances are that it will be used ex-
tensively next year as well to con-
troll weeds in corn, small grain,
pasture and meadows not containing
legumes.
But separate spray equipment rs
necessary for safety and effective
ness, Chisholm points out. The pow
er of 2,4-D can kill Oh damage most
broad-leaved plants-and the valu-
able crops are included. He warns
against leaving small quantities of
2,4-D in the spray, which later is
used for insecticides or fungicides,
since sensitive plants will be dam
aged.
In buying Or building a sprayer,
