Dixie Takes Win From Thornwell, 14-7 Dixie edged TTiornwell here Thursday night, 14-7, on a 57-yard pass play in the third quarter from Pruitt Smith to Zeke Mahoney. The Hornets thus closed out their record for the season at four wins and five losses Card sneak in the first quarter after Dixie fell on a Thorn well fumble at the 28. Smith kicked the point. Thornwell tied the score in the same period on a 35-yard pass play and a successful extra point run. Then came the spectacular pass- run that won the game for Dixie. Dixie 7 0 7 0—14 TTiornwell 7 0 0 0— 7 Quite a vital piece of legisla tion held over that will undoubt edly create more debate in the next session of Congress. • a a That is Senate Bill 1356 co sponsored by Sen. Joseph O'Ma honey and Sen. Arthur Watkins. It would under the juris diction of the Federal Trade Commission. a a a In 1921 whe» Congress en acted the Pack ers and Stock- yards Act de signed to in- C. W. Hardar sure free competition in the meat packing industry, enforcement was turned over to the Agricul tural Dept, instead of FTC. Since that time, little, if anything, has been done to enforce these laws, a a a Or, as Sen. O’Mahoney claims, from 1947 to 1956 prices received by the livestock producers de clined 29%, while the retail cost of meat and meat products to the consumer declined only 5%. a a a Failure of the Agriculture Dept, to enforce the laws was freely confessed by Assistant Secretary Earl Butz, whose job it is to en force the act, when he testified during a hearing "IHs quite true to 26 years the Packers and Stockyard'Act has not been ade quately enforced." a a a In fact, In major food packing circles it is now said the way to beat the anti-trust and Robinson- Patman laws is to buy a amall stockyard, because once H Is es tablished that even a small part of a concern is engaged in meat packing, the FTC is powerless, ass For example, a well known food and condiment packing con cern was charged this summer with granting discriminatory ad vertising allowances to a huge r»d«mto« i»d«f « food chain. But FTC was forced, to drop proceedings when it was established that 3% of the firm’s business was devoted to prepar ing meat for canning. It was thus subject to the Dept, of Agricul ture, which did nothing, a a a The FTC has also charged that one of the nation* biggcst meaL packers has been using false and misleading advertising to pro mote the sales of Its margarine. Yet. when the showdown came. It was -ulrd that FTC was power less to act. yet FTC Is still ex pected to crack down on adver tising claims of competitive mar garine makers who are not en gaged in meat packing. . • * * Sen. O'Mahoncy expresses sur prise that action on this bill has been stopped so far. The probleni is, undoubtedly destined to cause a lot more debate before final settlement. • • • Agriculture Dept, defends Its lack of enforcement by saying that whenever they find a packer violating the law they have a quiet talk with him, thus saving tax'money that would be spent In a) court prosecution. < * • * That in itself is quite a princi ple in law enforcement. • • * This principle, followed to its logical conclusions, would have peace officers quietly talking In some private meeting with a bank robber after he made a big haul, counseling him to mend his ways, or the next time, per haps he will be in trouble. With that plan there could be a lot of taxes saved in closing down the criminal courts. But It might be rather hard on banka, just as some packing house practices are making It pretty toagh on competitors, as well as livestock producers net to mention the vir tual immunity from laws that a chain store can gain by buying » small stockyard.

O DELL The Laurens Soil Conservation District Supervisors placed an order this week for a new tree planter. This will be the third planter to be put into operation by the district to assist tarmers in the stepped-up tree planting program. Landowners in the qounty are now being notified by the South .Carolina State Commission of Forestry as to the number of seedlings they will re ceive from their- applications sub mitted earlier in the year. The com mission has orders on hand for 155 million trees. Their supply is only 60 million. The smaller “Soil Bank” orders (15 acres or less) were given priority. Larger “Soil Bank” orders were cut two-thirds or more. On other large orders a reduction of approximately four-fifths was neces sary. The Laurens Soil Conservation District plans to send a truck to state tree nursery for the first load of trees the last of this month. Tlie planters will be put into operation immediately afterwards, provided soil moisture conditions are satis factory at this time. T. Heath Copeland, of Clinton, has* recently constructed a 10 acre farm " pond to be used for stock watering, fish production and possibly for irri gation. Last week he was burning brush and cleaning up around the pond in preparation to planting the area, including the dam and spill way, to fescue grass, Mr. Copeland has his pasture fences arranged so that the pond will furnish water for cattle in five separate pastures. While talking with him last week, he asked ior assistance in surveying three or four additional stock water ing ponds to be constructed dur- in the next year on his 1.000 acre beef cattle farm near Joanna. He plans to use ASC cost-sharing pay ments in buliding these ponds. Mr. Copeland said, “I need these ponds more than any other conserva tion practice. My cows suffered for water last summer. I couldn’t use my pastures to the best advan- , tage because there was no water available in some of them.” Other farmers who completed ponds last week with ASC cost- , sharing assistance are Carl Teague, Mountville; Guy Tumbiin, Clinton; Carl Smith, Rt. 2, Laurens; Alex Simpson, Cross Hill; and Earl Blake ly, Rt. 3, Laurens The Soil Conser vation Service assisted these farm ers in selecting the sites, surveying, laying out and technical supervision in the construction of these ponds.

Mr. Wilson had seeded a fescue meadow outlet in the field prior to terrace construc tion. He will receive ASC cost-shar ing payments to help with the ex pense of the practice.
