Washington, July 18 — The
Senate today passed the resolu
tion introduced by Sen. Strom
Thurmond (D-SC) to head off

Action came on a voice vote,
without debate. Afterward Thur

who joined him in sponsoring the

«
Clemson. July 18—George B.

engineering department at Clem

request on July 1 after 21 years
in the position.
A 1930 graduate of Mississippi
State College. Nutt came to

measure, and to the Senate Fi
nance committee and its chair
man, Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.)
“for prompt action.”
In return, Sen. Byrd said:
“I think the textile resolution
as passed by the Senate today re
questing the Tariff Commission
to keep closely in touch with the
textile import situation will be
tremendously helpful in avoiding
hardships.”
“’I think Sen. Thurmond and
those other 48 senators who
sponsored the resolution were
performing a valuable service for
the textile industry.”
Thurmond said the resolution
is of "great importance to the
textile industry of' the United
Slates."
Sen. Norris Cotton (R-NH) also
placed in the record a statement
favoring the measure.
Thurmond's resolution, as
amended by the committe, di
rects the tariff commission to
“keep currently informed re
garding the impact of imports”
of foreign textiles and “be pre
pared to act promtuly on such
investigations as may be re
quested.”
The investigations may be re
quested by the President, by
Congress, by the Senate Finance
Committee, by the House Ways
and Means Committee, or “any
interested party”—that is, the
textile industry - itself.
If the investigation shows - a
potential damage to the domestic
textile industry. President Eis
enhower may increase the tariffs
or impose import quotas. Re
ductions accepted at Geneva will
go into effect Sept. 10. The stud
ies of these cuts will be made
some time later, when the effect
of actual imports can be deter
mined

John Simmons of Mountville,
has a good stand of Bahia grass
and sericea combined. These
two plants were seeded in a one-
acre meadow outlet in prepara
tion for terracing the field this
fall. Sericea is no newcomer to
this county but Bahia grass, al
though relatively old, is some
what new for the Laurens Soil
Conservation District. Bahia is
not only a good soil conserving
grass but is well adapted for per
manent summer pasture.
Trial plantings of Bahia grass
were made the past spring by
the following district coopera
tors. Thomason Bros., Rt. 3. Lau
rens; Bill Gray and John Sim
mons of Mountville; Mrs. Sara F.

Ed B Copeland, dairy farmer
of Clinton, completed the con
struction of a six acre farm pond
this week Mr. Copeland secur
ed the services of a private con
tractor for the building of the
dam which is 17 feet high. 544 ft.
long, and contains over 7.000 cu
bic yards of earth.
The Soil Conservation Service
technicians, through the local
district, assisted Mr. Copeland
with the engineering survey and
layout of the pond.
The district will also assist in
getting bream-and bass from the
Fish and Wildlife Service for
stocking the pond.

Thomason Brothers of the
Trinity Ridge community, ap
plied nitrogen fertilizer to coast
al bermuda grass at the rate of
200 pounds per acre. This was
applied on June 6. They now
report that the grass has a rich
green color, is growing vigor
ously, and the cows keep it graz
ed down much more than the
grass adjoining, which received
about one-eighth the amount of
nitrogen.
Dr. Glenn W. Burten, with the
Georgia Coastal Plain Experi
ment Station at Tifton, Ga., who
bred and popularized coastal ber
muda grass, said, “without fer
tilization bermuda (coastal is no
exception) yields on most soils
seen decline until the production
hardly pays the cost of harvest
ing. To those who ask, ‘can I af
ford to fertilize?’, the obvious
answer would seem to be, ‘you
can‘t afford not to.” A better
question for most of them to ask
would be, “How much of what
kind of fertilizer will pay?”
Dr. Burten further says, “at
present prices of nitrogen and
beef, farmers with coastal ber
muda needing extra grazing can
supply it at a profit by heavy fer
tilization with nitrogen, up to 200
pounds of Nitrogen per acre.”
