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.

Camden People
"Riding High"
- A&
A number of Camden business and
professional men and two ladies took
advantage of the opportunity of "rid
lng high" in a South Carolina stuto
aeronautical commission plane 8atur
day afternoon.
The plane, piloted by Dexter Mar
tin, chief of the commission and a
skilled flyer, made boveral trlpa from
the Woodward airport Saturday after
noon. Soaring at a height of a mile
or more over the South Carolina landscape,
and traveling at a rate of speed
from 120 to 150 miles an hour, the
plane covered a wide area on each
trii> and offered some exquisite scenery
to those in tho air-conditioned
ca bin.
Several unities took tho "ah* lane" \
with IMlot Martin. Among them were'
Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Heath with Hamilton
Osborne, as one group, and Miss
Phoebe Knight, Dr. A. 11. Whitaker ,
and Jack Kirkland in another. Others'
going up were Dewey Creed, James
Creed. Moultrie burns. Ilrevard Boykin.
Charles Kirkland, Oliver Rice
and Miss Clara Hough and several
others whose names were not tuken. j
Sunday afternoon Mr. Martin took j
several more groups for a ride and
included in tlie list were Thomas Fin .
ley and Nell Hutching of Greenville; .
Mrs. Hal Foster, of Columbia; Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Miner or Columbia; i
and Dr. and Mrs. Bruce, of Hartsville. (
| Miss (Juynelle Fison, private secretary
of Governor Olin Johnston, at-j
tended the Saturday and Sunday,

While aloft with Commissioner j
Martin. Mr Heath of the Chamber of!'
Commerce discussed the Woodward!'
airport matter at length with the!
state official. It has been arranged '
to have the state aeronautical com j1
mission cooperate with the airport by
keeping It in shape for the coming
Already, -state- trucks- have L.
pulled mowers over the area and ret
moved the tall weed and grass growth
which had grown up.
Mr. Martin declared that James
Woods, who is managing the servico
feature of the airport is an efficient (
ship engineer And a flyer of national '
reputation. Already the publicity
that has been given by the Cemden
news service has resulted in ships|.
stopping there daily. When the tour- ,
ist season is on, the airport should j
be a scene of much activity as it of- j
fers a convenient stop for planes
north and south bound from Florida, j
It Is to be hoped that some program
can be worked out where boundary
lights may he provided at the field 1
in order that ships may land there 1

Columbia, S. C\, Oct. 16.?Reductions
lu charges affecting every telephono
exchange in the state were announced

Public Service commission. Officials

of conferences among members of the
commission and officials of the various
telephone companies operating in

general assembly was made unnecessary

of the residence and business telephone
rates and an agreement to convert
a number of exchanges to community
dial equipment.

THE POOR MU8T PAY TAXES
"One of the gravest Indictments of
tiie congress which recently adjourned
is Its refusal even to think about
our terrible tax mess," writes John T.
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.
