should be without exception to any

The meter idea, we say, is a fal
lacy. Revenue is their sole justifiable
purpose. They, will not increase park
ing space. And we know that the
majority of local business men feel
just as we do. What we are doing
is likely to'jyove a business detri-'

prices being increased—and that is
by higher output per worker on ev
ery job to hold dbwn cost of pro
duction. 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.
And then we picked up the Winns-

Our hat is off to Margaret O. Gold

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.

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.
