which made a rank growth during
the cool moist weather of June was
caught before maturity by the rust
and hot weather and, in some
areas, by drought. As a result,
some fields that looked promising
in June are a complete failure, and
instead of the 273,000,000 bushels
forecast a month ago, a crop of
only 176,000,000 bushels is now ex
pected. As winter wheat is also
threshing out substantially below
earlier expectations the total wheat
crop is expected to be only about
608,000,000 bushels, and this includ
es some wheat suitable only for
feeding. As this would be less
than usual domestic requirements,
reserve supplies on hand will prob
ably be further reduced during the
Day For Securi ty season.

COLUMBIA, ‘Aug. 13.—South
Carolina: The hot* weather during
July accompanied with copious
rains increased the condition of all
erops in the State and the August
1 indicated yield of all crops for the
State is 125.0 of the ten year aver
age (1921-1930).' . South Carolina
leads the nation in prospects of
yield for this year. Georgia comes
second with an, average indication
of 124.4 per cent, followed by Texas
with 123.1' per cent; while Kansas
is the lowest with an average con
dition of 71.6 per cent of the ten-
year average.
age harvested during the 10-years
previous to 1934, nearly all of the
decrease being in the States af
fected by the 1934 drought. It
now seems probable that this de-
! crease in total acreage will be par
tially offset by yields per acre 2.8
per cent above the average prior to
1934, since the good yields of cot
ton, tobacco, hay, and various oth
er crops more than offset the low
yield of wheat.
The total crops of <iorn, wheat,
rice, tobacco, and cotton are still
expected to fall below the 1928-
1932 averages, but, judging from
present prospects, there will be an
abundance of rye, beans, potatoes,
and sweetpotatoes, an average and
evenly distributed supply of fruit
except for light production of or
anges and grapefruit in the Gulf
States, a moderately heavy and in
some cases excessive supply of
such kinds of market vegetables
and commercial truck crops as are
still to be marketed, and a record
acreage, and a record, or near
record production of vegetables for
canning.
TXT
es an ^average jmonthly salary of
$100 until he is 65. He will get a
monthly pension, until his death,
of $53.75.
In detail, here is what will hap
pen to him:
In the calendar years 1937,
1938 and 1939, he will pay a sal
ary tax of 1 per cent, or a total of
$36 for the three years. In 1910,
1941 and 1942, he will pay 1 1-2 per
cent, or $54. In 1943, 1944 and
1945, the tax will be 2 per cent, or
$72. Tn 1946, 1947 and 1948, the
tax will be 2 1-2 per cent, or $90.
From 1949 to 1981, inclusive, the
tax will be 3 per cent, or a total
of $1,188 for those 33 years.
Thus, in 45 years, Bill Jones
will have paid in $1,440. All the
time, his employer will have been
now | matching his tax payments, so the
total paid to the federal treasury
will be $2,880.
At 65, Bill Jones can expect to
live perhaps ten years more, if he
does, he will get back $6,450.
When Bill Jones dies, this is what
will happen:
His average annual salary will
be multiplied by the number of
years he paid taxes. In other
words, if he dies after he has paid
taxes for 45 years, $1,200 will be
multiplied by 45—giving a total
of $54,000. ' Arbitrarily, the bill
stipulates that Bill Jones’ estate
shall be entitled to 3 1-2 per cent
of that, or $1,890—less any amount
he received in pensions before he
died.
If Jones dies before he gets back
$1,890 in pensions, what he actual
ly received is deducted from $1,890
and the balance paid to his heirs.
If he lives until he gets back all
of the $1,890 and more, his heirs
get nothing.
