POULTRY AND EGG OUTLOOK FAVORS PRODUCER PROFITS I A more favorable situation Is In sight for poultrvmen. County Agent j | \V. C. .McCarley points out on tho basis of the October poultry and egg sit-j 'nation report of the Bureau of Agrij cultural Kconomles. j Ample supplies of feed grains, inj eluding wheat for poultry feeding, and somewhat higher egg prices as compared with those this year are in prospect. as affecting poultrynien is likely to result In a larger hatch in 1 i>38 com-' ! pared with 1 7. but the supply of poultry in the first half of next year will probably be less than in the corresponding period this year, lie said. I Increased production of fall and t winter broilers this year was indicat-j Jed by the Bureau's report, which states that "the price iH not likely to ( be depressed to a corresponding ex-j tent, in view of the generally reduced . meat supply." Poultry storage, stocks are expected I to be less in the fi/"st half of 1938 than : in the corresponding period of 1937. i With probably smaller marketings of j eggs, storage stocks of eggs also are expected to be smaller in 1938 than they have been throughout this year. The size of the farm laying flocks, the report pointed out, has fluctuated quite regularly in three-year cycles, the last low point being in the winter of 1934-1937). It Is expected that the u inter of 1937 1938 will mark another such low point, but that by the fall of 193S laying flocks will be larger' | than in the fall of 1937. ; Read the label on your paper and | watch the date.

Officials estimated the aggregate yearly saving to users at $173,118. Seductions followed a long series of conferences among members of the commission and officials of the various telephone companies operating in the state. An Investigation authorized by tho general assembly was made unnecessary by the agreements, commissioners said. The commission outlined the rate changes as follows: "A reduction in a large per cent of the residence and business telephone rates and an agreement to convert a number of exchanges to community dial equipment. "The differential for hand set equipment will bo reduced from 25 cents a month to 15 cents a month for eighteen consecutive months. "Residence extension telephones will be reduced to 75 cents a month. "The 25 cents rate differential on dial private branch exchange stations will be eliminated. "The base rate area wll be extended in several exchanges. "The approval of the Southern Boll Telephone and Telegraph company interstate rates for Interstate toll business which makes South Carolina interstate toll rates the same as in other states in the Southern Bell territory and gives it the same rates fts used for Interstate business in Southern Bell territory. In addition the telephone users will be given the benefit of reduced night person-toperson rates and reduced Sunday sta:ion-to-statlon and person-to-person ates."

Plynn in a syndicated article. "This responsibility belongs to no special party?both great parties ran away froin the subject.^fcPpolltlcian Is more frightened by taxation than by any other form of menace." Further on in ltls article, Mr. Flynn points to the ridiculous fallacy of the "soak the rich" policy of taxation. This may be good bait for uninformed voters, but as an economic possibility, to quote Mr. Plynn again it "is the saddest of all Illusions!" During the last fiscal year, federal, state and local taxes collected in the United States amounted to $12,500,000.000. If every person who had an rinconio of fW.vw a ycor i/r ik'tirtcr, had been taxed to the limit?100 per cent ?collections would have reached less than $4,000,000,000, one-third of the tax load. And If the government had confiscated 100 per cent of the incomes of all persons earning $6,000 a year or more?a sum which Is certainly a far cry from riches?collections would have reached about $10,000,000,000, more than $2,000,000,000 less than the amount necessary to pay our extortionate tax bill. The taxpayer who provides the bulk of tax funds In this country, whether he knows it or not, is the average small-salaried worker?the man or woman earning $20, $30 or $40 a week. Indirect taxes are the principal support of all units of government?taxes which are hidden in the cost of food, clothing, tobacco, amusements, gasoline, beauty preparations and everything we use. The Twentieth Century Fund has found that a $1,000 wage earner in New York pays $123 in taxes; a $2,000 salary worker, $238; a $5,000 a year man, $618; and a $100,000 executive, about $60,000. We are not now paying anywhere near enough taxeB to" meet present government expenditures, let alone reducing our nearly $40,000,000,000 federal debt. Only the poor man can furnish the tax money?there aren't enough rich men, if you take all they have. Robbers Fail To Cracks Sale Newberry, Oct.
