In Collier Deal

The Securities and Exchange
Commission today decided
against any criminal prosecu-
ton in the disputed case Of q
81 million bond sale by Gro
we'll Collier Publications Co. in
1855.
However. SEC announced a
series of hearings to determine
whether any action should be
taken against three broker
dealer firms for their part in
the transaction.
The Crowell-C Collier financ-
ing deal was subject to a
lengthy inquiry by the SEC
last winter.
The SEC commended the bond
sale should have been regis
tered with the commission.
Crowell-Collier said registra-
ton wasn't necessary since. it
claimed, the sale was to q
small. private group.
Crowell- Collier, which once
published the now defunct Col
lierS. American and Woman's
Home Companion magazines,
registered the securities in
question last June "a. This ap-
'parently cleared 1t with SEC
The new SEC inquiry will be
on the question whether the
three brokers violated the reg
istration provision of the Secu-
rites Act.
The firms are Elliott g. Co.
New York; Dempsey & Co.
Chicago. and Gilligan. Will &
Co.. New York.
A finding of violation of the
Securities Act could result in
revocation Of their registration
as brokers and loss of member
ship in the National Associa-
ton Of Securities Dealers, q
semi-ofiicial organization.
Revocation Of membership OF
expulsion would. for all practi-
cal purposes, put any broker
dealer firm out Of interstate
business.

Precautions Can
Eliminate Many
Dairy Farm Fires

A dairy farm is one Of the places
most susceptible to fire.
That's the warning from DR.. NJ
F. Gilmore. dairy specialist at VPI,
who says that regular elimination
Of hazards and constant precautions
will avoid heavy losses.
Dairy farms are easy places for
fires to start because dry forage
and bedding must be stored for
winter. This material is easily ig-
nited by sparks from chimneys or
gasoline G ngines, by careless
smokers. from defective wiring, and
many other preventable causes.
Faulty wiring and other electrical
fires caused from 10 to l6 per cent
Of the farm fires in three recent
studies. Many dairy farms that were
wired for electricity years ago with
light or open wiring have not been
rewired or even inspected for years.
The increased use OF electrical
power is overlooking many circuits.
Power suppliers will inspect the
wiring and e m m n d needed
changes.
DR.. Gilmore says to be sure to
have fire fighting equipment on
hand and in working order at all
times. Then you can put out small
fires before they get beyond con-
troll Most farm building fires reach
the uncomfortable stage in less than
10 minutes.

~ Believing that there exists
an urgent need for a broadening
of the tax base in the State of

States Rights"
The Cumberland group also
adopted the following resolutions
to be presented to the American
Farm Bureau if passed at the
State convention:
Cd Recognizing the tremend-
Gus Importance of industries in
providing off-farm employment
opportunities, especially in the
lower income rural areas. we rec
ommend that low interest rates
and special tax considerations be
granted to industries desiring to
locate in rural areas as an added
inducement to such location.
~ Believing that the small
farmers plight is in part due to
competition from large farms OPP
Grated purposely at loss by bus
mess men as a means of reduc-
ing their income taxes. we rec
ommend federal legislati ton to pro-
hibit or limit the practice OF in
dividuals not deriving the major
portion Of their income from
farming in using the loss from a
farm operation to offset their
other income for tax purposes.
<3, Bee com ng increasingly
alarmed by the growing trend to-
ward Capitalization Of power in
the federal government. by the
ruinous size Of the federal bud
get, and by the loss of tax reven-
ues to state and local govern
ments because OF federal policies
and programs. we recommend
that the AFBF do everything in
its power to promote the doctrine
of States Rights, to effect
reduction in federal spending, and
to have returned to the state and
local governments more OF their
rightful tax powers and revenues.
~ Deploring the practice OF
Congress and the Administration
whereby the Soil Bank and other
farm programs are frequently
used for partisan political pur-
poses, we recommend that the
AF'BF do everything in its power
to find some way Of eliminating
political tampering with farm
programs.
90 We recommend that the
American people. before it is too
late, begin to do away with the
tendency to turn to the federal
government tor assistance on the
slightest provocation and return
to the old principles Of self-reli-
ance and solving their problems
at the state and local level.

Bookkeeping Hints
For Winter Months

Wn''r shouldn't be "a idle tim
for the beekeeper. There are several
jobs that need doing around the

Clean up the honey house and

not fasten the foundation to vines

and buckle in warm weather.
Sort out old combs that are made
up largely of drone cells. and use
them for wax. Mend tops, bottoms,
hive bodies, and supers needing re-
pair. Keep all surfaces exposed to

In regards to football, a study
was proposed that would deter
mine the possibility OF having a
team at Cumberland High School.
1t was noted that one Of the prl-
mary obstacles to playing football
has been removed by the recent
completion of the new Recreation
Athletic field at Cumberland.
Noting the lack of diagnostic
laboratories in the area, the Cum
berland group resolved To urge
the Virginia Farm Bureau to as
sist in helping poultry growers in
the area to establish a poultry
diagnostic laboratory.
Since there have been conflicts
Of meeting dates at Cumberland,
the Farm Bureau suggested that
all meetings be published and a
coordinator Of meetings be APP
pointed to schedule various meet
ings that might conflict.
To State Office
The following resolutions we're
adopted by the Cumberland Farm
Bureau with the recommendation
that the Virginia Farm Bureau
take action:
I'D I'VE recommend continued
efforts to maintain segregated
schools In the State Of Virginia.
~ I'VE recommend that leg
islation be enacted levying tax
of ten cents per ton on all feed
and commercial fertilizer sold in
the state. and the tax funds be
allocated to the Virginia depart
ment of agriculture for research
purposes.
20 Because Of the increaS-
lngly complex problems arising
IN the poultry producing business
in Virginia. we recomme end a
Farm Bureau poultry committee
be appointed to function like the
peanut and flue-cured tobacco
committee.
a. I'VE recommend that VFBF
study the feasibility of having the
state graded fat steer sale pro-
gram expanded to include other
parts OF the state. The program
was instituted in the eastern part
OF the state early in 1857. A pre-
ponderance Of beef eaten in Vir-
sinia is still derived from cattle
led outside the state, and this
program should encourage more
farmers to feed out cattle within
the state.
80 Since it Is apparent that
the extremely high rate of insur-
ance for male drivers under the
age Of 25 is resulting in M any OF
these drivers driving without in
surance and thereby creating an
added hazard for drivers over rs
and partially defeating the pur-
pose Of the high rate. we recon-
mend that the insurance rates on
male drivers under Is be decreas-
CO ~ and that the rates for all
other drivers be increased 5es 10
offset the resulting loss III com
pensatlon.
90 Recognizing the problem
OF the increasing spread Of nox-
ious weeds on Virginia farms. we
recommend that legislation be
enacted giving the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture necessary au-
thorlty 10 control the spread ot
unusually Troublesome weeds ano
further to prohibit the use of food
ingredients containing noxious OF
other harmful weed seeds.
