ASCS Office To Be Closed Fri., Feb. 21 The County ASCS office will be closed Friday, February 21, in observance of Washington's Birth day which falls on Saturday, Feb ruary 22. Washington - Most taxpayers were assured more taxe-home pay starting early next month when Senate and House conferees wrapped up Wednesday a compro mise agreement on the biggest tax cut bill in the nation's histo ry. The reduction, expected to climb to $11.6 billion a year, will ease the Treasury's bite on businesses as well as individuals. However, there will be aome tightening of present regulations which will mean higher taxes in some areas. Ironing out of differences be tween StnlH na House versions of the bill put the long-awaited measure over its last big hurdle. It Mk tfc conferees only three of voting to. whis through of m$tm m mmm B. Long, D-La., floor manager of the bill in the Senate and a conferee, told news men, I believe we have come up with a better bill than either tho House or Senate passed." "In other words, we discarded the worst things from both bills," Long said. Rep. Hale Boggs, of Louisiana, the House Democratic whip, said he expects the House to pass the bill next Tuesday with no trouble. Long said he expects the Senate to act the same day or on Wed nesday, without "any considera te estimated ded Me opposition," sending the bill to the White House. President Johnson will probably sign the bill shorty after March 1, Long said, and taxpayers will feel the first effects in their pay checks received after about March 12. This will come in reducing the withholding rate from 18 per cent to 14 per cent of income; this rate is based on listing no personal ex emptions with the employer and varies with the number listed. The heart of the bill is the cut individual tax ratal, which the Treasury estimates will range from 14 per cent to 70 per cent instead of the present 20 per cent to 91 per cent. The average cut at 19 to 20 per cent in the lower income liberalized action. This will money in the bands of an estimat ed 13.6 million taxpayers and al so take aome 1.5 million other off the rolls entirely. The corporate rate will be re duced in two stages from 52 to 48 per cent Rep. John W. Byrnes of Wis consin, ranking Republican on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, said he ex pects his GOP colleagues to ac cept the bill "despite its defects," such as adding 300 pages to the tax code. -oOo- Marshall JV Girls, Hot Springs JV Boys In Finals Fri.

Someone raised a question a few days ago as to how many snows (sizable) has Madison County experienced this winter. Word from a Mar HOI lady, who has kept count of them, says the snow Tuesday was the ninth snow of the winter. jm m HstSMdSKBSiBsM ' Am I m wm sssnHv- 'mmmmimm year m m WWf .- 1 day night, 95-38, to earn a berth in the finals Saturday night against the winners in the Mar shall-Hot Springs game which wilt be played tonight (Thursday). : Despite heavy snows and ha ardous driving natiltlBM, capaci ty crowds have been on hand at both oifhtiei ot t.li the TKsrshnn gfrls clobbered DOOGBTT GAP ROAD (N.

In a recent survey of 98 pine plantations, foresters found that idle land planted to pine trees can produce a long-time yield of between $7 and $28 per acre per year. The average return was $15 per acre per yefo over the life of the trees, states Harry G. Silver, county agent. The first commercial thinning came as early as 14 years from planting-, but on the average it came wnen tne trees were a) years old, and yielded 7 cords of pulpwood worth $29 as stumpage. A local example of what tree planting can mean to a plants-1 tion of Mr. Yj. m. Amnions, or Mars Hill, which was included in the survey. Mr. Amnions owns 2 acres of white pine planted on an eroded field in 1937. The first cut was in 1960, age 28, and yielded 6 cords of pulpwood worth $24. The foresters estimate that over the next 24 years Mr. Amnions will be able to cut an additional 88 cords of pulpwood worth $882, plus 31,000 board feet of smwtbn ber worth $775. Thus, on pre viously eroding land Mr. Ammons' downed Spring Creek, 41 to 87 will earn $12 per acre per over the Kfe f the trees. People who have planted trees Mft "strongly w fjnfOr of getting our idle land into production. Mr. Ammons says: "Trees are a val uable crop on waste or idle land. I recommend tree planting be cause it increases the value of the land and provides income to the landowner." You, too, can earn money from your idle land by planting trass.
