SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS
By JAMES H. GRIFFIN, Soil Conservationist
Marvin Evans of Rocky Hock
is well pleased with the growth of
his Bahia grass this year. He also
thinks a lot of the Coastal Ber
muda grass. Both of these grasses
are well-suited for deep sandy j
land and will furnish lots of good j
summer grazing for livestock.
As you know, Coastal Bermuda
grass is a crop of Common Ber
muda and a variety of Bermuda
grass from Africa. It does not
make seed, therefore it can only
be obtained from roots. Marvin
got his grass roots from a farm
near Tarboro. Another source of
roots (“sprigs”) is at Gatesville.
Mr. Pollock, the agricultural
teacher, has several acres of Coas- j
tal Bermuda grass.
Coastal Bermuda grass should j
be set in early spring. The us-1
ual recommendations is to set the !
“sprigs” in rows. Some people. |
including Mr. Evans, spread the I
“sprigs” over the land and disk j
them in. Cost of the Coastal Ber- j
muda sprigs is about sl2 per acre
plus about 500 pounds of ferti-;
lizer.
The next question will be “How j
do I get rid of it?” Several chem-,
icals are available on the market!
for killing the grass. Most farm-;
ers can destroy it with the ma-j
chinery already on the.farm. Itj
is not as hard to control as com
mon Bermuda because it only pro-)
pagates by the roots.
If you are considering this grass |
for your Conservation Reserve
land come by my office and I will
give you the complete data on
this grass.
Bahia grass is another good
grass to use for permanent cover.
It is very easy to control and easy
to get rid of when you want to
destroy the cover. Several farm
ers in Chowan County have this
grass for pasture. BenburyWood i
seeded five acres this past spring. j
Bahia grass is a slow starter but
once established it will furnish
good grazing and cover.
Sericea Lespedeza is one of the
best permanent legume cover!
crops. It will grow on almost!
any soil. It requires about two
mowings per year and a little fer
tilizer and lime to get established.
As far as I know, there are only
a few plantings in the county. W.
E. Bond seeded it around his pond
about two years ago. Lindsay Ev
ans seeded it in a new ditch he
dug this past spring. L. E. Twine
seeded several eroded spots in
his field about two years ago. He
is using it to control erosion and]
to feed wildlife. Sericea is onej
of the best plants we have far
wildlife feed and erosion control.
Clyde Bunch on River road in
Rocky Hock has., Sericea Lespe
deza seeded with his Bahia grass,
pasture. This was planted about
1952.

Sometime ago I made a promise
to the Lord that whenever a par
ticularly objectionable movie
played at the local heatre I would
protest in one way or another.
But I know when I’m licked.
They have been coming so fast
! and furious of late that were I
j to protest them all I should have
! to hire a couple of secretaries, and
! at that would manage to do noth
j ing else.
The latest display of filth and
j obscenity, advertised as “bold,
I scorching . . . she clawed and ca
ressed her way back to the man
she had to own, etc., etc.” (And
the advertising in out of town
newspapers was even less re
strained) is Cat On A Hot Tin
Roof, fittingly starring Elizabeth
Taylor. And to add insult to in
jury, this was the fare offered the
youngsters at last Saturday’s mat
inee.
Parents, wake up! These nasty
j films are being shown with in
j creasing, frequency, and children
are allowed admittance if they
j have the MONEY. The Tri-Coun
ty Ministerial Association last
month unanimously passed a
sweeping indictment of these, and
parents and religious leaders
would do well to warn their chil
dren of the dangerous influence
such rotten, godless pornography
can have on their lives. I for one

Now let me use the rest of this
week’s column to conclude the
artiole by Roman Catholic Leader
Fulton J. Sheen, begun last week.
What was amazing about the
Hebrew concept of history was
that it saw purpose in the worst
disasters; somehow God’s pur
poses were bein£ wrought in trial
and periecution, unto spiritual
blessing for the entire world. His
tory to these people was both a
promise and a judgment: a prom
ise of blessing to all peoples
through their Messiah and a judg
ment on themselves from time to
time for their failure to be a wor
thy vehicle of revelation.
Suppose that tomorrow those
charged with the responsibility
if nations decided to give up
three ideas which dominated the
loose thinking of the nineteenth
century: (1) Each nation is so
self-righteous that any challenge
of its opinion or attitudes makes
the other nation an “enemy of
peace.” (2) Progress is automatic.
(3) Human nature it essentially
good. Suppose there were sub
stituted for these ideas the basic
legacy of the Hebrews to histori
cal thinking: (1) Most men
throughout the nation, and world,
are as weak, and maybe as sin-i
fnl as myself. (2) The corporatel
fact that “all men are sinners”
has something to do with world
conditions. (3) It behooves us, as
Lincoln said, to humble ourselves
before- "the offended majesty of!
God. and ask for clemency and!
forgiveness.”

Assistant Vice President, Government
Kelations Division of the National
Association of Manufacturers
"NO COMMENT" is a report ol
incidents on the national scene,
and does not necessarily reflect
NAM policy or position.
Washington lmproving eco
nomic conditions are bolstering
the hopes of tax reform advocates
that the next Congress will take
action toward easing the oppres
sive burder of the present con
fiscatory tax system.
They were encouraged by Sec
retary of the Treasury Anderson’s
recent statement that present eco
nomic growth eases the way for
tax reform and that:
“We are firmly convinced that
the tax structure must be fur-

ther improved so as to provide i
the minimum of interference with £
the incentive of individuals which £
is so basically important to our r
free enterprise system.” t
This assertion by the Secretary ]
of the Treasury followed Vice 1
President Nixon’s contention that 1
tax reform is imperative because
“our goal should be to fashion a :
tax structure which will create
more jobs, more income and more
genuine security.”
Mi. Nixon advocated cuts in
personal and corporation income
taxes and adoption of a uniform
manufacturers excise tax. These
have long been advocated by in
dustry.
Secretary Anderson, in a speech
to the American Bankers Associa
tion, said that the “economic re
* covery now well under way is a
factor which is on our side” in
bringing about improvement of
the government’s fiscal situation.
“With progress in controlling
the budget,” he added, “we can
I deal more effectively with the
economic and social burden im
posed by our present high level
of taxation, and make further
strides toward tax simplification
and reform so that our tax sys
tem can function as effectively
and equitably as possible.”
The Treasury Secretary’s state
ment that “we now look forward
to a period of growth” boosted
1 the spirits of advocates of the
Sadlak-Herlong tax reform bill,
[ which is based on the nation’s
, economic expansion. As econom
l ic growth continues, there would
be a series of five annual cuts in
personal and corporation income
r tax rates so that each would be
J lowered to a maximum of 42 per
. cent.
This legislation is advocated to
. remove the confiscatory tax road
block to maximum economic ex
- pansion, in order to provide jobs
i for future generations and main- ‘
. tain the nation’s military strength
• at whatever level is required.
Sentiment for the Sadlak-Her
t long bill was checked somewhat
during the recent session of Con
gress by increased defense and
anti-recession spending. However,
at least two-thirds of the wit- j
nesses who supported tax reduc- >
tion, during hearings before the }
House ways and Means Commit
tee, favored the Sadlak-Herlong I
bill.
Now, with economic conditions
improving, tax reform advocates
think that sentiment for correc
tive legislation should increase
substantially. They are going to
do everything possible to bring
that about.
REAL EVASION—The amazing
exposures by the McClellan La
bor Rackets Investigating Com
mittee include a little-noticed in
cident that took place recently
during the hearings and which
pointed up the extreme position a
labor official can take to. avoid
public discuss on of his activities.
Chairman McClellan was ques
tioning a witness reputed to be
the business agent for a local
Teamsters union in St. Louis.
The witness took the fifth amend
ment after each question relating
to union activities, even refusing
to say whether he was a union
member.
Finally, in exasperation, Sena
tor McClellan asked: “Have you
ever done a decent thing in your
life that you can talk about?”
“Is that in the form of a ques
tion?” the witness inquired.
“That is a quesrirm,” Senator

Catalina Vista. The beautifully contoured Vista-Panoramic windshield and large, wrap-around
rear window provide unparalleled vision for driving safety. Absolute simplicity in styling is
achieved with the twin "air scoop" grille housing dual headlamps and a low, cleanly styled body,
