FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1953 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE State Chamber Urges Support Tidelands’ Bill The South Carolina State Cham ber of Commerce today urged Sen ators Maybank and Johnston to support S. J. Res. 13 which con firms in the States ownership of the submerged lands under naviga ble waters within their historic boundaries. In urging support of this measure, known as the “Tide- lands” bill, the Chamber request ed both South Carolina Senators to oppose any proposed amend ments to the bill which would tend to restrict or withdraw any of the rights of the States in these sub merged lands. The State Chamber pointed out that approval of this measure is not only of interest to a few coastal States which have oil in their offshore lands as proponents of Federal control of them have asserted, but that it is a matter of concern to every State in the Union. The Chamber noted that the State of South Carolina has 359,040 acres of marginal sea lands which contain revenue-pro ducing resources and 295,040 v acres of inland waters. The Chamber stated that owner ship of the State of South Carolina in its submerged lands is threat ened unles this legislation is ap proved. It said the threat , to state ownership arises from two sources; namely, the “tidelands” decisions of the Supreme C6urt in recent years which question state rights in any submerged lands un- der navigable waters, and claims of the Justice Department before the Supreme Court that many previous court decisions favoring ownership of the states as against ! the Federal Government with re spect to inland waterways as well as submerged coastal lands were in error. Citing the history of the “tide- lands” controversy, the Chamber said the Federal Government had asserted no claim to the submerg ed lands until abundant oil re sources were discovered off the coasts of a few states in the late 1930’s. Then the Government laid claim to these lands and carried its case to the Supreme Court which in 1947 by a 4 to 3 vote overruled a century-old rule of law, supported by numerous court decisions, that these lands belong to the States. The Congress on two occasions pased bills con firming, ownership of the lands in the states but each time they were vetoed by President Truman. The State Chamber noted that President Eisenhower has gone on record several times in favor of State ownership of the submerg ed lands and that the House of Representatives has already ap proved overwhelmingly a bill simi lar to the one under consideration by the Senate. The Chamber con- cludeji that the issue of sub merged lands wdthin State bound aries can, therefore, be settled once and for all by a resounding vote of approval of the measure in the Senate.

Grass, Cattle Development Is Urged In County New'berry county farmers co operating in the program of the Farmers Home Administration are following plans to produce more efficiently on their farms this year, according to M. P. McMeek- in, FHA Supervisor. They are working to improve the organization and management of their business so they can earn and adequate living and pay back what they borrow. To do this, they will follow approved practices to further step up yields per acre and production per animal, and eliminate all possible expenses by producing their own food and feed. For example, they will try to buy fewer groceries and raise a corn crop for less cost. Mr. McMeekin will visit the families and keep them posted on the latest methods recommended for crops and livestock. He will also advise them on actual need for additional machinery and household equipment, and on mak ing good buys when they purchase. Each borrower will be urged to get only supplies and machinery which -contribute directly to bet ter production. Among the farm methods to be stressed by families this year are: Using the right kinds of seed, fertilizing properly, controlling in sects and disease, developing bet ter pastures, keeping good breed ing stock, or use the Artificial “Mother's asleep now, son,” Dad told him. “She'll be asleep a long, long time.

Profits Better With Good Chicks CLEM SON, APRIL 6 — P. H. Gooding, leader, Clemson Poultry Extension Work, says poultry rais ers should buy only good chicks of the kind needed to meet the pur poses for which they are being kept. He- cautions that in the end cheap chicks can prove costly. He points out that more sub stantial profits are made by poultrymen who buy only good quality chicks which are bred specifically for either meat or egg production. The initial cost may be higher for good quality chicks but profits usually will be greater than where poor quality chicks are bought. “Chick quality is measured in terms of low mortality, efficient use of feed, rapid growth, fast and complete feathering, and uni formity in size,” Mr. Gooding ex plains. “In a laying flock, whether kept for the production of market ing eggs or hatching eggs, high production is desired. \ “Low mortality is essential to a successful poultry business. A chick must live if it is to show a profit. Buying from hatcheries that carry on a good pullornm- testing program helps to insure getting healthy chicks. Even if chicks infected with pullorum disease survive, they will be un thrifty and unprofitable," he states. He makes the following sugges tions to guide buyers of baby chicka: Buy top quality chicks for greater profits, buy only from hatcheries that have a good pull- orumrtestiug program, and buy chicks specifically bred for either meat or egg production, depend ing upon the purpose for which they are being bought.
