The vote was 21 to 14 to table an amendment by Representative Towe (R-NJ.). There is no debate on such a motion. There were strong indications, however, that heated discussion of the Republican backed plan was 6nly postponed until the legislation comes up in the house itself. That may come this week, Chair man Vinson (D-Ga.) who announced today’s action after a closed meet ing, said he hopes to get the bill out of the committee tomorrow. The tabling of the Towe amend ment, presumably killing it as far as the committee is concerned, got 1 one of the last big obstacles out of j the way of final action on the meas-1 ure by the committee. That group, considering the bill section by section, already has j stamped approval on its provisions lowering the draft age from 19 to 18 1-2 years, extending draftee’s I service from 21 to 26 months, and j setting up a universal training pro gram to take effect when the pres- i ent emergency need for actual serv-! ice by draftees has passed. The senate has passed a generally similar bill for drafting at 18. with ; those nearest 19 to’go first, and a| service term of 24 months. Perhaps the highest hurdle re maining in the bill’s house commit tee path is a section, already in it, setting a ceiling of 4,000,000 on manpower in the nation’s armed forces. 'Vinson said he will move to strike out that provision, which the ad ministration strongly opposes as a source of danger in case of a major emergency and a tip-off to the Rus sians on what they might have to face if they should attack. On the other hand there is back ing, mostly Republican, for a limit of 3,500,000 men and women. The senate has settled for 4,000,000. Towe wants to cut to 3,2000,000, which is below the defense depart- ! ment’s goal of 3,462,000 by this sum- ! mer. That disagreement is likely to come up quickly tomorrow when the commitee gets together in an : effort to finish its task. Sericea Lespedeza Fits Well Into Hay And Grazing Prorgams By J. B. O'DELL During the next six weeks many farmers can establish a source of perennial hay and grazing on their farms by planting steep or low pro- producing land to sericea lespedeza. Experience of farmers in this section indicates that larger yields are obtained the second year from plantings made in late March, Ap ril and early May than from later plantings. Although sericea may be planted 1 through July, Over 1800 acres were planted to sericea on district farms last year, according to the annual re port of the District Soil Conserva tion supervisor. Ryan F. Lawson, chairman of the board of supervisors, said: “Sericea fits well into the hay and graing program on most of our farms. One big advantage of seri cea is that it will grow on land too poor for most other hay and for age crops.” J. Ben Hunter, Jr., beef cattle farmer of the Lanford Station sec tion, has 65 acres of sericea that he has been using for grazing for sev eral years. Mr. Hunter says, “If cows are turned on sericea when it is young and tender in the spring or as new growth starts after mow ing, they will graze it fine. Occas ional mowing will keep plants ten der for grazing.” Mr.-Hunter also said that another reason he likes sericea is because it will stand dry weather. His cows can graze sericea during pe riods of drought and stay in good condition. This enables him to pro tect his permanent pasture against serious over-grazing. When weath er conditions are such that sericea is not needed for grazing, it can be put for hay. Mr. Hunter has 40 acres of seri cea that is overseeded with fescue for winter and spring grazing. Mr. Hunter remarked, “My cows are now grazing fescue that is growing on sericea. They will graze fescue until the sericea starts coming through. Then they will £raze both the sericea and fescue. When dry weather stops the growth of fescue the cows keep right on grazing the sericea” This young, progressive farmer thinks well of this combination which allows him to use the same land for both winter and summer grazing without replowing or re seeding. However, it should be fertilized each year with 500 lbs. per acre of a 3-12-12 or similar fer tilizer and limed according to the needs of the land. Mr. Hunter is a member of the Ora Community group which is competing in the Piedmont Com munities Soil Conservation contest. EASTERN STAR TO MEET The James B.
