In recent years, due largely to government policies and, free-for- all spending, worker productivity in many fields has actually declined, while wages have soared. The in evitable result has been price infla tion and a cheapened dollar. What is ^our dollar worth today? Fallacies of the Meter Idea We read in the Kingstree paper yesterday that a petition is being cir culated asking for the removal of parking meters from its business streets, that most of the complaints come from merchants who contend that the “money collectors” are driv ing business away from their stores to others towns or to stores on the edges of the city where no meters are located.

Those who want to raise plants indoors will find it a complete and accurate guide. When the leaves fall off your trees, don’t burn them. They’ll make good nitrogen fertilizer when they rot. By working straw from a 20-bushel wheat crop into the soil the farmer can put back 32 pounds of plant food —nitrogen, phosphorous and potash. Land is usually in best shape for terracing aft^r the crops have been gathered and before breaking is started. - . One pound of soybean oil meal should produce from 0.56 to 1.17 pounds of beef. Using less labor per 100 1 pounds of milk or producing more milk per man hour, or shifting to the most economical dairy feeds and reducing disease will aid the dairyman to in crease his profits and efficiency. Pullets should have shade on the growing range. Tests show that they will eat more feed and drink more water if they can do so while in the shade. Tire Recapping- Battery Charging.
