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.

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. To Mountain mad Seashcce Resort* Sold every Friday and Saturday.
