Daughters of the American
Revolution are planning to
introduce a new orchid motif
this spring at their 65th Con-
tinental Congress.
And it ties in nicely with
the orchid corsages which have
been a OAR tradition since
Mrs. Caroline Scott Harrison,
wife of President Harrison.
served as their first president
general.
Mrs. Harrison. a great or
child enthusiast. Is credited
with popularizing the orchid
when she was in the White
House.
She also was talented ar
fist and many of her paintings
are of the flower she helped
to make national fad.
Four Paintings Featured
Now the OAR has arranged
to feature four of these paint
ings on its new Caroline Scott
Harrison notepaper to be avail
able for the first time at the
convention in April.
One of the designs will come
from a Autographed copy OF
a white orchid painted by Mrs.
Harrison in 1890 and issued
from the White House with the
dedication, ito the daughters
and mothers of the country,
according to Miss Gertrude S.
Carraway, OAR president gen.
eral. This copy is owned by
the OAR.
For another design. the So
ciety viii use the painting OF
a lavender orchid on china
plaque now owned by Mrs.
Harrison's granddaughter, Mrs.
Marthena Harrison Williams
of Washington. Miss Carraway
announced.
The two other designs will be
from water colors on loan to
the society from the collec-
ton owned by the Benjamin
Harrison Memorial House in
Indianapolis.
Result of Research
Miss Carraway told a press
conference yesterday that the
notepaper resulted from re-
search studies of Frank E.
Klapthor, curator of the OAR
Museum.
One of the museum items
now being restored is the ORR
ginal gown worn by Mrs. Har-
rison for her portrait by Daniel
Huntington which. was pre-
scented to the White House in
1894 by the OAR. Mr.. Klapthor
noted a small wild orchid de-
sign in the imported material
of the dress and began making
inquiries about Mrs. Harrison's
interest in orchids.
1t is reported that Mrs.
Harrison was responsible for
introducing orchids to the
greenhouses Of the Executive
Mansion and that she wore
them to official meetings Of
cabinet wives and at OAR
functions.
Popular Orchid Story
And the Daughters have
been wearing them ever since.
Their fondness for orchids has
given wide circulation, in fact.

FERTILIZERS IN CROP PRODUCTION"

Fertilizers benefit the farmer in two important ways.
First, under most conditions fertilizers increase crop yields
and second, a continued high level of soil fertility is main
tanned thereby assuring continued high production.
Fertilizers may be divided into two main classes NOR
ganic and organic. Organic fertilizers consist of legune green
manure crops and animal manures. Inorganic fertilizers are
those produced from sources other than plants or animals.
Commonlyseen sacked fertilizer is an example of this. That
which you use in cane fields is known as a ready-mixed
commercial fertilizer; it usually consists Of the three main
plant foods nitrogen, PHOSPHORUS, and potassium but often
contains only one Of these.
Throughout the world increased crop yields are obtained
under most conditions following the use of fertilizers. Our
soils in this climate are no exception to this general rule
Increased Yields of various forage grasses have been obtain
ed under various conditions in fertilizer trials here in the
Virgin Islands. Similar results could be expected with other
crops,
In addition to the so-called main plant food elements
necessary for plant growth several minor elements are also
essential for good plant growth. Not only is the presence
Of these plant foods necessary but their relative proportion
to each other is important in furnishing the plants with the
correct balanced plant food requirements. Both the kind and
amount Of fertilizer required Of many crops under various
conditions is known, it remains for the farmer to utilize this
valuable information in his farming operations An intelli-
gent and careful use of fertilizers in crop production will
paw bic dividends both now and in the future.
Fertilizers should be used by all farmers as an aid in
crop production.

One-Third Cut Urged
In Small Business axes

would amount to only a small
fraction of the earnings of big
business.
Under present law, the basic
80 per cent corporation income
tax rate is due to come down
to rs per cent next April
unless Congress should again
extend the higher rate. The
cabinet committees recommen-
dalton would make the cut
deeper.
1t estimated the tax relief
proposals would cost the Govern
ment about 5000 million in the
first year. about $740 million in
the second year, and reduced
amounts in later years.
The committee reported, how
ever, that the Treasury probably
would not lose anything in the
long run because "the proposed
measures would tend to enlarge
the National income, which is
the ultimate source of all tax
revenues"
Further Aids Studied
The recommendations going to
the President yesterday were in
a progress report" The COM
mittee, which is headed by DR..
Arthur F. Burns, chairman of the
Presidents Council of Economic
Advisers, said it is continuing
study of many other proposals to
help small business. among them
a suggestion to allow investors
in such concerns to deduct a
limited amount of losses from
their ordinary income.
Administration officials said
the tax relief proposals for small
businesses do not necessarily rule
out more general tax cuts next
year, but merely suggest a prior
ity.
Mr.. Eisenhower praised the
committee for its report and
promised to give its recommen-
dations "the prompt and favor
able consideration they deserve"
in drawing up his legislative pro-
gram for Congress next year, as
well as in executive action. He
said he would ask the depart
ments principally concerned to
advise him further before he
takes action, however.
Aside from the direct tax cut

BY GARRETT d. HORNER

Hope of a one-third tax cut
was held out to small business
corporations by the Eisenhower
administration today.
The tax cut on corporation in
comes up to $4,000 topped a
list of IA recommendations for
helping small businesses pre-
sented to President Eisenhower
by a special cabinet committee
late yesterday.
The recommendations appear
ed timed to steal some of the
thunder from pre-convention
Democratic platform hearings at
Chicago. The Democratic plat
form makers have been airing
charges of "big business" favor
itism against the administration,
Urge Cut in Red Tape
by a special cabinet committee
mittee on small business recon-
mended action to reduce red tape
Imposed on business. to give small
companies better chance for
Government contracts, and
smooth the way for selling small
business securities as we'll as tax
relief.
It's tax cut proposals were con-
ditioned on the outlook's remain
ing favorable for a balanced Fed i
eral budget.
1t proposed cutting from 80
per cent to 20 per cent the
present corporation tax rate on
incomes up to $25. There is
an additional surtax of % per
cent on corporation income in
excess of $4,000. This would
remain.
Ask Depreciation Benefit
In addition to this one-third
cut, the committee recommended
further tax relief for small bus
ineSses by permitting them to
accelerate depreciation for in
come tax purposes on purchases
of used property not exceeding
$4,000 in any one year, as well
as on new property, as in present
law.
While the recommendations
are designed to aid small firms,
they would also benefit large
corporations but only on the first
$25, 900 of their earnings. This
