Eisenhower servecf notice last Nov. 1 that the United States will take whatever steps may be appropriate to defend the base. President-elect John F. Kennedy declined comment on the diplomatic break.

He was given advance word on the president's action. The end to U. relations liad been long expected. Yet it was dramatic. The break cut Washington-Havana ties for the first time since America's fighting men had freed Cuba from Spain at the turn of the century.

Some of these changes cover situations related to soil bank payments, partnerships, losses, depreciation, and fertilizer and lime costs. One of the most significant revisions pertains to deducting the cost of fertilizers in income tax fi enrine. A new amendment to the Ttprnal Revenue Code provides that a farmer may elect to treat as ordinary business "expenses those sums which are paid for or incurred in the purchase of fertilizer, lime, ground limestone, marl or other materials to enrich, neutralize or condition the land. The measure also includes the cost of application of such material. Curtis said the legislation resulted because some revenue agents were attempting to require farmers to capitalize the cost of fertilizers nther land conditioning mate- i rial.

This new law, according to Curtis, precludes revenue agents from taking such a position in future interpretations of the compli- code. 1 I I I Babe" MnHnrn 1fn. fmrv, Vinw of PinZI 5T-- Rlic" lelujah Chorus" ironi unnriPi'a Messiah." ruuowing tno singing of "For T7n a He a Jolly Good Fellow the sur- prise plans were put into effect ir- argis. seated the audience, was brought ti onto the stage wnere a presentation ef gifts to him was made fcy Sellers Ay-cock, and Helen' Diamond.

0 Loan Rate Cut G. Lyman Gladney, manager, Federal Land Bank Association of Rayville, with offices in Winnsboro and Rayville, advises that the Federal Land Bank of New Orleans has reduced its loan rate from 6 per cent to 5hi per cent effective January 2, 1961. Mr. Gladney further stated that all land bank loans made since December 1959 at the 6 per cent rate would, until further notice, be billed at the 5M per cent rate. In connection with the interest reduction Gladney said that while the costj of money to the bank was still at a comparatively high level, there had been sufficient improvement to warrant the reduction.

He saia tnat the bank, as a farmer-owned sys tem, is constantly striving to serve agriculture to the best of its ability. He was especially glad that present borrowers with 6 per cent loans would, until further notice, get the benefit of the reduction in rate.
