Zopsio Called Most
Perfect Lawn
Grass For America
Every home owner who has
sought the perfect lawn can now
have that dream realized with
the development of Zoysia grass,
the most nearly perfect grass for
all America.
Subject of many magazine ar
ticles in recent months, this ex
traordinarily beautiful grass, cul
tivated from sprigs, makes a
dense, deep green carpet. Since
it crowds out weeds and other
grasses, its even texture is out
standing. There is no doubt
about it being the answer to very
tough lawn problems in a great
er portion of the United States.
Zoysia thrives best during the
heat of summer when many oth
er grases brown or bum out.
This is the time when a beauti
ful lawn is appreciated most A

time, will go down to three and

are low. It needs less mowing

Wheat Farmers
Vote Continued
Rigid Controls
Washington, June 26—Wheat
farmers have voted to continue
present rigid controls on their
next crop rather than gamble
on the possibility that Congress
might enact a substitute pro
gram that would please them
more.
In a refemdum yesterday,
growers of this major crop gave
a surprising majority of 77.5 per
cent to a proposal that strict
federal marketing quotas be used
again in 1956 to try to avoid ad
ditional surpluses.
Farm leaders in and out of
government had expected a
much closer contest, with a
chance that controls would fail
to win the necessary two-thirds
majority. Doubt as to the out
come had developed in the face
of official suggestions that the
government would offer a new
wheat aid program if quotas
were rejected.
• • •
Columbia, July 2T — South
Carolina’s small group of eligible
wheat farmers yesterday voted
overwhelmignly in favor of mar
keting quotas for next year’s
crop.
The agriculutral stabilization
and conservation office here said
that with only two boxes out,
the vote for controls was 1,121,
the vote against, 65.
The vote of approval was 94.4
per cent, about the same as last
year when there was a slightly
heavier turnout of growers.
The A9C said about 2,000
farmers, those • with more than
15 acres of wheat, were eligible
to participate.
