The taxation and legislation committee was concerned with a proposed change in fence laws in the forthcoming state legislature. They recommend that these changes be watched so that they might not be detrimental to the wheat farmer. Taxes, the need for some ond the change in others were discussed thoroughly. The group favored a state sales tax to offset local property taxes. They were against the tifhing of state commissions and a tight ening of qualifications of voters on bond issues. The Federal agricultural pro grams were concerned with the soil bank program, improved grain standards, vheat acreage allotments and parity among the other things. They ask that con sideration be given to a higher payment rate for this area under first, Mrs. Kenneth Peck, Lexing the conservation reserve program ton, and sncond, Mrs. Ernest Heli to compare with midwest farms her, lone. who have an annual crop history for payment. They felt that a study need be made on revised barley standards for this area and that improved wheat standards are needed in other parts of the country. They would like to have wheat acreage allotments an nounced by February 15 in order that the farmer might better plan his operation for the year.

A meaningful achievement in automobile performance Most automobile performance records are pretty difficult to relate to the kind of day-in, day-out driving most of us do. Running at safe and legal speeds, a '57 Chevrolet recently chalked up an important new coast-to-coast record on the road. And the way it set this record is even more im portant than the record itself! A new '57 Chevrolet recently proved it has the quali ties most people look for in a car-and proved it on the roads you travel. It set a new record of less than 57 hours for the run from New York to Los Angeles (certified by NASCAR). It was a strictly stock, V8 powered Chevy. It was driven by two young ladies. When you consider that all the driving was done by 98-pound Betty Skelton and her friend Caroline Russ, the true significance of this record run becomes apparent. It's a tribute to Chevrolet's great-hearted V8 engine and solid road-worthiness that it could travel day and night for 2,913 miles at safe and legal speeds-and better the existing record for the trip by more than three hours. And when a pair of young ladies step into a car and drive it round the clock to a new transcontinental record, you know that car is easy to drive. Come try a Chevy. Onlv franchise!
