Potato Allotments
For Small Growers
Columbia, Dec. 28.?Potato grower*
whose average; annual sale* of potatoe*
during the year* 1932-1936 were
50 bushel* or less will be exempt from
Hale* allotment adjustment und will
receive tax exempt allotment* equal
to their past average of sale*, accordiun
u> George J?. Prince, state potato
agent for South Carolina.
"ff grower'* pa*t sales during the
base period, 1982-1936, were 60 bushel*
of potatoes annually," says Mr.
Prince, "he will receive tax-exempt
stamp* for tlu* potato allotment year
which began December 1, 1936, equal
to 60 bushels of potatoes. If his average
uales were 30 buehele, he will
receive tax-exempt stamp* equal to
30 bushels."
The Potato Act, under which sales
allotments are made, does not apply
to the farmer* who grow potatoes for
home use, their livestock, or for tenants,
and these farmer* should not
file application* for allotments. Growers
may also give away all of the
potatoes they wish but any grower
who plan* to sell any potatoes should
apply for a *ales allotment In order
to obtain tax-exemption stamps.
The recent ruling does not moan
that the amull grower may receive a
sales allotment of 50 bushels, but only
for that quantity which he .actually
has been selling during the base period.
Growers producing in excess of
50 bushels will be treated on an equal
basis in apportioning state and county
quotas all over the country.
Study of data available from the
1931 census of agriculture indicates
that the exemption of 50 bushels will
require a -slightly larger downward
adjust men!, probably not more than
one per cent, in the sales allotments
to farms selling more than 50 bushels
of potatoes than would he required If
the exemption were not allowed, according
to Mr. Prince.
Columbia Surgeon
Died Suddenly
Dr. Samuel K. Harmon, 04, prominent
surgeon and president of the
South Carolina Medical association,
died of a heart attack in his office,
ISIS Sumter street, Thursday afternoon.
Doctor Harmon had gone dove
shooting in the morning and his companions
said he made no complaint
of being ill although several days ago
lie said lie did not feel well.
Miss Nina Pittman, his nurse, was
in the office when he was preparing
to go to the Baptist hospital. He
told lief he was not feeling so well
and lay down on a couch at 3:50. She
immediately called physicians but he
died at 3:55, before the doctors arrived.
/
Surgery had been his field of practice
since 1912 and his brilliant work
had made him distinguished among
the surgeons of the city and Btate.
in 1934 he was made president-elect
of the South Carolina Medical society
but when the president, Dr. William
Egleston, Hartsville, died, Doctor
Harmon served his incompleted term
and 1935 began his regular term.?
