farming interests of Europe de-
cided that they could grow broil-
ers. They came over here and
studied our methods. They got
their breeding stocks and feed
formulas and management tech
niques from us--and In a few
years they we're In business.
But they still cannot produce
and market a broiler as cheaply
as we In the United States can,
and this is where the trade bar
rier or tariff comes into the
picture. They have higher costs
than we do, and even In 1862,
when our exports reached new
highs, we we're paying an i'm
port duty of over II cents a

THE LISTER PLANTER is
a new plow /plant machine de-
signed for new minimum tillage
operations that may revolution
ize farming again. 1t was dem
onstrated last week on the
Schmidt brothers farm near
Sudlersville, Maryland by the
Queen Anne Soil Conservation
District at their field day pro-
gram.
Conventional level land til-
lage permits the weeds to start
before the crop. Too, the mois-
ture is worked out of the soil
by repeated discing andpacking,
which also breaks up the soil
structure.
Minimum tillage with the lis
ter planter lets the crop and
weeds start together in the plant
beds. Old crop residues are
mulched in to hold moisture,
preserve soil structure, and
prevent wind erosion, according
to ]. T. McAlister, SCS en-
gineer, who is recognized as the
''father" of mulch tillage.
New larger farm tractors
make mulch tillage practical
today at a saving of man labor
and lower unit cost. Many times
worn notions are discarded. A
good seed bed is no longer a
finely worked clean seed bed.
1t is not necessarily level, but
listed or trenched. During cul-
ovation, the tractor rides on
the undisuurbed ridges for fir
mer footing at first. During the
second cultivation, the wheel
sweeps level out the ridges sc
that harvesting is on more
level ground.
The Schmidts have 500 acres
of lister planted corn, which
appears to be the best in the
community. We will try to gel
you the final yield story at the
end of the harvest season. h
the meantime, If you want tc
see the test field, drive west
to Suldersville from Hartly.
Turn right just before you gel
to the cemetary and the farm
will be on the right about two
miles down the road.

 When the waitress filled their glasses, Chester picked his glass up and drank it. Helen slipped hers and said to her husband. "I don't like this kind of soda pop" "Tll drink it for you," Chester quickly offered.
 Almost as soon as our glasses were empty, the waitress would come around and refill them,' re- called Helen. "I kept wondering why Chester kept drinking that awful soda pop, his and mine.'
 As the banquet progressed Chester became happier and happier. Helen began to suspect that something was amiss. By the time the banquet was over, Helen found out that her hus- band had been drinking champagne which he, of course, had sampled some years previously. Helen had no idea what the white sparkling liquid was.

Bill to Avoid
Night in Jail
Is Backed

A spokesman for the all
Democratic Arlington County
legislative delegation said today
his group would propose a
measure allowing area residents
charged with minor traffic
violations to avoid spending the
night in Jail If they are unable
to post collateral Immediately.
State Senator Charles r.

Delegates Kathryn Stone. Har-
rison Mann and William L.
Winston would support partici-
patton by Virginia in a compact
with Maryland and the District
of Columbia under which a
nonresident would be given a
summons unless State Law re-
quired posting collateral.
Senator Fenwick explained
that If the offender later failed
to appear in court, his home
jurisdiction would be notified,
and his driving privileges in
that State would be revoked.
He said the Arlington delega-
ton would support such legisla-
ton in the General Assembly
next year, If all four incum-
bents are reelected in Novem-
ber.
He said the compact would
develop as a project of the
Metropolitan Council of Gov
ernments. The Democratic
candidate added: "Virginia's s
participation would make such
provisions uniform throughout
Maryland, Virginia, and the
District for the residents of the
