The leisurely talk hit a po-

stage. Committee members in
formed the House that the
Treasury Department opposed

Cite Employment Aspect
Members on both sides of the
House floor Joined yesterday in
an overwhelming voice vote for
the 10 per cent figure. They
presented it at a matter of en-
ployment as well as equity.

neously provide music, dancing

ment.
Some sponsors on the Ways
and Means Committee never
theless had an uneasy feeling
today that the House might be
left holding the bill when Con-
gresS adjourns.
They recalled that the Senate
in 1854 refused to go along
with a suggested slash in the
cabaret excise tax. Most other
ad valorem excise taxes were
put under a 10 per cent ceiling
in the 1854 reduction. The
Senate sat on its collective

this made the levy sound even
more expensive than it is.
In any event, no one moved
to table the bill or suggested a
presidential pocket veto. On
an enthusiastic voice vote the
House settled its mild dispute
by handing the bill to the Sen
ate.

Soybean Planning Demonstration
Will Be Held June 4 Near Laiia

A demonstration for planting
soybeans in grain stubble and
residue, without prior seedbed
preparation. will be held June
4, 1857. at 200 pm. on John u
Coleman's farm, located six miles
west of Latta, S. c., in Dillon
County. All interested farmers
and others are invited.
Mr.. J. T. McAllister. Soil Con-
servation Service Equipment En-
gineer, with the assistance OF
Mr.. Mckenzie, Agricultural En-
gineer, Clemson. will be in charge
of the demonstration.
Most farmers admit that they
don't like to burn crop residues,
Burning grain stubble before
planting soybean has been over
the years an accepted practice
No other practical method of get
ting rid of large amounts OF
grain stubble has been found.
During the last three years, Sol
Conservation Service personne,
have worked with farmers ir
solving this problem in Sol
Conservation Districts. In 1856
sixty five farmers in Upper
Coastal Plain of South Carolina
| planted 1900 acres of soybcans
in grain stubble without burning
and without prior land prepara-
ton. 1t is believed that this prac-
ticc will spread throughout n:
Lower Coastal Plain. In 1856
Mr.. J. {. Ayers. who owns 4 farm
At SocaStee in Horny County

way.

q we'll kept secret that when

instrumentalists were ready
and the opera stars were on

The instant they stepped
into the big room. Conductor
Paul Galloway gave the signal
and the music of Mozart's
"Bastien und Bastienne" burst
the stiffness.
Ushered to comfortable sofa
seats in the front row. the
impact Of the touching sur
prise was so great that it was
five minutes. the Smiths said
