11,000-Lb. Producers
Dairy cows on test in Laurens
county produced — on the aver
age —. more than 11,000 pounds
of milk annually. M. L. Outz,
county agent, reports that a re
cent summary of the 850 cows
in 11 herds enrolled in DHIA
averaged 11,078 pounds of milk.
The average for the state is
9,323 pounds.
Taylor’s latest defeat came
the House Wednesday when the
state appropriations bill was
passed minus a provision to al
low school buses to pick up
school children anywhere on an
established route.
The regulations now allow bus
stops no less than wto-tenths of
a mile apart.
The unlimited stop provision
was in the state , _ money . _ bill
through the promotion of Tay
lor, who had introduced two
other bills this session to get the
laws changed. The conference
committee deleted the provis
ion, however.
When the appropriations bill
came up for final House consid
eration, Taylor asked why the
school bus provision was delet
ed.
Rep. R. J. Aycock, chairman
of the House Ways and Means
Committee and conference com
mittee member said the State
Educational Finance Commis
sion, operator of the school bus
system, said the state could not
afford to allow buses to stop so
freely as Taylor wanted.
Taylor told a newsman, after
the bill had passed, that it was
immaterial to him whether the
Two of his bills in this relation
are still before the Education
and Public Works committee
with litUe chance they will get
out at this Uth hour of the State
Legislature.
One bill would permit buses
to pick up children at their
driveways and the other would
permit buses to stop as many
as five times a mile.
