Spartanburg Jumps Gas Tax.
» A dispatch from Spartanburg last
week disclosed the fact that the “City
of Success" is evading payment of the
State gasoline tax by buying in; car
load lots at Wilmington, N. C., ard
it is learned further that both Green
ville and Florence have been doirg
the same thing for a year or more.
Parenthetically, it might be roted that
representatives from Greenville and
Spartanburg Counties led the bitter
fight in the legislature against the
State road bond issue.
But what we started out to say is
that if it is legal for the cities of
Spartanburg, Greerville and Florence
to evade the payment of gasoline
taxes to the State of South Carolira,
of which they are parts, why shouldn’t
it be legal for individuals to do like
wise ? Of course, if that were done,
our whole system of highway buildig
would collapse and taxes for the pay
ment of bords issued for roads would
be levied against real and personal
property. Ir. that case, Spartanburg,
Greenville and Florence, being thriving
municipalities, would be called upon to
bear a large part of the burden. And
that recalls the charge made soma
years ago of gross inequalities in the
property valuatiors in one or the
other of the two leading Piedmont
cities. There are »ome right smart
people living up there, which probably
accounts for the wonderful strides
they have made in the past few years
Analyesn Recently Completed Shows
Luscious Fruit Rich in Health
Preserving Element.
Recent analysis of South' Carolina
fruits and vegetables contirue to pile
up the high iodine contert. A report
juat received by Dr. William Weston,
managing director of the South Caro
lina Natural Resources eommissior,
giving additional figures, shows that
watermelors have an iodine content
of 402. When it is realized that the
average for South Catolir a Irish pota
toes is 211, and that South Carolina
potatoes are in insistent demand in
the goiter region on arcour t of their
high iodine content, it will readily be
seen what a vaat future opens up for
South Carolina melon grower* ir. the
markets of the country.
The aralyais of cotton seed meal,
which has been eagerly awaited for
the reason that animals suffer equally
with human beings in the goiter reg
ions, has exceeded even the most opti-
• mistic expectations. Cottonseed meal
♦ shows an iodine content of 140.
More Lettuce Samples.
Additional samples of lettuce, which
have been examined, raise the average
iodine content of thig vegetable from
761 to 912. Turnip tops have gone up
to the high average of 376. Rye in
hull shows 86. Beet tops are averag
ing 657.
Some of the figures have already
been published. A statement of the
results so far at the State laboratory
in Charleston, as furnished to Doctor
Weston and given out on Saturday
through John K. Aull, secretary of the
Natural Resources commission, “will
show an opportunity for the growers
of South Carolina fruits and vegeta
bles which hag hardly yet been realiz
ed,” said Mr. Aull, “and when these
figures are given to the goiter regions,
favorable reaction is certain to be
very swift in view of rumerous re
ports and inquiries received from
these regions.” Doctor Weston was
highly gratified, but by no means sur
prised at the showings, continuously
being made by the laboratory tests.

how to identify laying hers.
“The whole abdomen of a laying her
is dilated so that the pelvic bones are
widespread and the keel or breast
bone is forced down away from ihe
pelvic bores, so as to give large capa
city. By placing the fingers flat be
tween the pelvic bones their width can
be determined. If the ends of the
bor.es are soft and pliable and the
width of two or three ordinary fin
gers can be placed between them, the
her is in all probability laying. If
the bores are close together and the
points hard, the hen is not laying.
“The flock should be culled during
the summer to avoid feeding the hens
after they have ceased layirg” eon-
tirues Mr. Gooding. “Accurate cull
ing is possible in only a well fed
flock, kept free from lice and mites
throUjgbcilt the summer months.
When a bird stops laying in the sum
mer the greater will be her produc
tion. A high producer is a late layer
ard consequently a late molter, pro
viding she receives a balanced ration.
An early molter is not an early
winter layer. A high layer usually
retains her primary wirg feathers un
til September or October.
