House Repeats
Resolutions Favoring
Biennial Sessions '
Special to The Chronicle.
Columbia, April 12.—The House of
Representatives last week rejected
several resolutions which would have
paced (he way for biennial sessions of
the General Assembly, to replaice the
present annual sessions.
The House voted down resolutions
introduced last year which would
have provided for the biennial levy
of annual taxes and provided for
biennial sessions of the General As
sembly.
The only one of the resolutions on
which a roll call vote was taken was
a resolution to provide for submitting
to the voters the question of chang
ing in the Constitution the word
“annual” where used in reference to
a session of the General Assembly
to the word “biennial” and to add a 1
proviso for the calling of a special.

The resolution was killed by a roll I
call vote, with Representatives Mi-1

ty voting against the resolution and ’
Representative Wasson voting for
the resolution. ~ —

They Can Come Back
On farm tours during the past win
ter crowds of farmers saw fat cattle
on fine grazing in all sections.
m
Some of this fine grazing was on
acres once badly eroded under cot
ton and other row crops. But now
those areas are tied down safe'y with
sod. And a new agriculture is bud
ding there, an animal agriculture.
We once dreamed of this." Now we
see it rather frequently as we go
about.
One lellow viewing it said, “Yes,
but we have so much like that yon
der,” pointing to an old straw field
that was long ago “turned out.”
He was right. But he forgot how

Have you seen the new Clemson
Circular 345 on tall fescue? It tell*
how to have that new grass that
holds much promise here. You can
get it at your county agent’s office.
Yes, our old red hills and worn-out
lowlands can bte made to live again.
“Greatest Food Crop”
“The sweet potato is the greatest
single food crop that has ever been
produced.”
So said Dr. Julian Miller, the not
ed South Carolinian, who is the
famous plant breeder at Louisiana
State University, in a recent letter
to me. “I am considering all of the
nutritional elements packed into one
small item when making such a
broad statement.
I can remember when I was a kid
and folks had to live dose and hard
in the Stone Hills. As long as there
were potatoes in the bank, we knew
we were alL right. Families often
lived long and well on sweet pota-
toes^ principally. They have such a
range of elements in them that they
will sustain a fellow longer than
any other single food I know.
For many years the sweet potato
was not commercialized, and little
if any work was done towards im
proving it. But in more recent years
Dr. Miller’s great work has given
us a better potato and one that will
keep better. And our Edisto Experi
ment Station has done a lot for it in
a way of improved practices and
storage methods.
With the cotton being cut, the
county agents tell me the acreage to
sweet potatoes will increase some this
year. And Tom Cole, our marketing
chief, tells me that there is room
for more good potatoes, but that we
have too many sorry ones all ready.
Those growing them for the first
time this year will do well to con
sult their county agent about variety
and methods. For just any old po
tato handled in just any way will be
a disappointment when you - ' take
them to the market place. But good
potatoes have always sold at a profit
so far.
?%L Last
For 25 years I have in season and
out of season, as you might recall,
written about the absurdity of the
multiple taxes on w'holesome and
nutritious margarine. The leading
nutritionists of the country have long
ago declared it the full equal of but
ter in every nutritional respect.
And for years butter production
has been going down, despite marga-.
rine taxes. During the war, you re
call, we couldn’t get butter aT~any’
price at times. And when we could
get it, it was at a price that poor
folks couldn’t eat it. But still the
multiple taxes stayed on margarine.
During and after the war, many
families were forced to maigarine.
