Reports
In reporting weekly on the doings
I of the Congress, I have attempted to
I tell you exactly how I stand on legis-
I lation. The newspapers have been
J very cooperative in this although some
have not always agreed with the po
sition I have taken. But they have
printed this column because of their
interest in you, the reader. It is hop
ed that the Congress will be through
with its work by the end of July, but
I seriously doubt that the work will
be done, and my guess is that the ses
sion will not be completed until in Au
gust. I will continue to report to you
on Congressional matters.
Passes
It is necessary to get gallery cards
for admission to the galleries of the
Senate and House. It is not neces
sary to have cards for admission to
open sessions of committees. Many
have thought it was necessary to
have passes for the Army-McCarthy
hearings. It is not.

Bulletin Describes Farm j
Grain Storage Facilities <
i
. “You Can Store Grain Safely on the
Farm,” is the name of a new farmers’
bulletin which should be of great val
ue to North Carolina farmers who
plan to provide storage space for their *
own grain crops this year. 1
C. W. Overman, Chowan County '
farm agent for the State College Ex
tension Service, said the new booklet '
may be obtained free by writing Os- ■
sic of Information, U. S. Department,'
of Agriculture, Washington 25, D. C., ]
and asking for Bulletin 2071.
The publication stresses the need
for storing only grain with a low
moisture content, outlines the basic re
quirements of a safe storage struc
ture, and points out that some types
of structures can be used for other 1
purposes when not needed for storing 1
grain. Methods and equipment for re
ducing moisture content of grain to a '
safe level and maintaining it during 1
storage are described also.
Only clean grain should be placed in
storage, said the county agent. Crack
ed grain, screenings, chaff, and dust
provide favorable conditions for de
i velopment of insect infestations. Even
