M. McCuen, Secretary of the South Carolina Petroleum Industries Committee. The average vehicle in South Carolina paid $38.06 in state gaso line taxes, $7.65 in federal gaso line taxes, $13.93 in license fees and $2.70 in tire and tube and oth er governmental excise taxes. The average automotive taxes of $62.34 paid in this state were far In excess of those paid in the Dis trict of Columbia, where the total annual motor levies amount to less than $27 per vehicle, and they com pare with a nationwide average of $45.41 each. This state, with its average of $62.34, is not far behind Florida which has the highest average in the United States of $73.39. It is significant that the District of Co lumbia’s gasoline tax is 2 cents per gallon; while that of Florida is 7 cents. In announcing the results of this study, Mr. McCuen pointed out that no effort was made to include property taxes. “In view of the fact that the value of the average automobile is only $200, it is obvious that auto motive taxes in this state have be come excessive,” Mr. McCuen de clared. “Gasoline taxes consti tute by far the heaviest levies on motorists today and thereby con stitute the logical means by which the excessive tax burden on motor ists can be relieved. “The data used in making the computations were the official figures recently released by the U. 8. Bureau of Public Roads; % which show 24,933,403 vehicles registered last year, state gasoline tax col lections as $565,027,000, federal gasoline and oil taxes as $194,947,- 000, license fees as $304,928,000, and federal excise taxes, exclusive of those on gasoline and oil* as $67,- 394,802.” Furqueron Gets Copies Of Changes In Game Laws checks MALARIA in 3 days COLDS first day. * Jq,, Drii£ abIetS TONIC AND . Salve - Nese LAXATIVE 666 Copies of various revisions in federal game laws, one of which postpones the opening of the dove season from September 1 to Octo ber 1, hqve been received here by E. D. Furqueron, county game war den. The dove season, under the re vised statute, will extend from Oc tober 1 to January 15, according to a proclamation issued by President Roosevelt at the suggestion of the bureau of biological survey. Heretofore the dove season has opened for 30 days during the month of September and reopen ed on Thanksgving day. Even be fore the federal schedule was an nounced, however, Mr. Furqueron had urged that the opening of the season be moved up several weeks because the nesting season for doves was not over on September 1, and many nestlings perished as result of the mother bird being killed. Excerpts from other current game regulations, as received by Mr. Furqueron from A. A. Richard son, state game warden, follow: Shooting season for geese, brant, jack snipe, coot and ducks opens November 20 and closes December 19, both dates inclusive. Use of live decoys is prohibited. No shooting of migratory birds permitted be tween 4 p. m. and 7 a. m. Possession of more than on: day’s bag limit is illegal. The gun is limited to one no larger than 10-gauge automatic or repeating shot gun capable of holding not more than three shells. Guns of larger capacity must be plugged so as to perma nently limit the load to three shells. Bag limits include: Ducks, 10; geese and brant, 4; coot, 15; rails, 15; Jack snipe, 15; wood cock, 4; and dove, 20. The baiting of doves is prohibit ed. tx$ New Yearbook Of Agriculture Gives Results Of Research Department of Agriculture. Articles on practically all phases of the technical and economic re search done in the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture appear in the Yearbook cf Agriculture for 1935. The articles are non-technical and cover a great variety of subjects, including those dealt with by the Agricultural Adjustment Adminis tration. Among the topics to “which 'the book devotes special attention are soil erosion, the eradication and control of insect pests, forest con servation, animal husbandry, and chemical investigations. In a foreword, the Secretary of Agriculture, Henry A. Wallace, em phasizes the importance of organ izing scientific research, without destroying the spirit of free in quiry. The Secretary remarks that the articles, although generally ex pressing a concensus among spe cialists in the subjects discussed and in related fields, do not exclude individual opinion and individual findings. The Department, the foreword says, does not impress a dead uniformity on the writings of its scientific staff, but encour ages freedom of expression, as well as freedom of inquiry. Besides the general articles by the Department’s specialists, the volume contains the annual report of the Secretary of Agriculture for 1934, and the usual collection of ag ricultural statistics. The book may be obtained only through Senators and Congress men, or from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington D. C., at $1 a copy. CLEMSON, Aug. 5.—Citizens of South Carolina, along with those of other states, who desire an in valuable publication which re views the results of research and experimentation covering the field of agricultural science have op portunity to secure such a book in The Yearbook of Agriculture for 1935, just published by the U. S. thing of the seriousness of the prob lem in one Piedmont county. Prior to August 5, 35 cases had been re ported, with one death, in that county. A large portion of infesta- tiens occurred in cows and calves, followed by hogs, horses, mules, dogs, sheep, and goats. Many of the cases were directly attributable to snags and accidental cuts al though many of them occurred in castration wounds or at birth. County agents are alert to the screw worm situation and will call meetings when such are needed. County Agent E. L. Rogers Wishes to have all screw worm cases re ported to him promptly. x New Bulletin Out On Cotton Diseases Screw Worms Invade Piedmont Section Since outbreaks of screw worms are reported from mkny of the Piedmont counties, animal owners are again reminded by County Agent E. L. Rogers to watch for this unusual pest and be ready with methods of control. Benzol (Commercial 90 per cent) and pine tar oil (acid-free and dehydrated) are satisfactory ma terials when properly applied. Both of these materials may be secured from local drug stores in case they are not available else where. In addition to counties in the southwestern portion of the state, Piedmont counties as far north as Anderson, Newberry, Fairfield, and Union report screw worm cases, according to W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist. Few, if any, screw worm cases have oc curred in the Pee Dee section, that is, the area on the northeastern side of the Santee river, during the present season. Detail report by P. B. Ezell, New berry county agent, shows some CLEMSON, Aug. 17.—“Cotton Diseases and Methods of Control” is the title of U. S. D. A. Farmers’ Bulletin 1745 prepared by Neal and Gilbert, plant pathologists in the Bureau of Plant Industry. South Carolina farmers may secure copies of this bulletin from their con gressmen or senators in Washing ton, D. C. Specific references to the cotton diseases of this section are noted in the bulletin although cotton diseases of a parasitic and nutri tional nature are treated for the entire country. Fusarium wilt, anthracnose, bacterial blight or angular leaf spot, sore shin (damping off), and root knot are parasitic diseases discussed in the bulletin which tend to increase the cost of cotton production in South Carolina. Farmers who control these diseases most effectively will reap the greatest profit per acre, other conditions being similar. “The recommendation to dust- treat cotton seed with organic- mercury disinfectants for the control of angular leaf spot will doubtless prove of interest to many farmers in the state”, says W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist, discussing the bulletin. “A consid erable acreage (around 5,000 acres) was planted with Ceresan dust- treated seed during 1935 by South Cr rolina farmers. All Ceresan users thus far interviewed say they are well satisfied. Excellent stands and improved vigor of seedlings were er.sily discernible, and a striking absence of angular leaf spot. Al of these advantages were securec at a cost of nine to 14 cents pe. bushel of seed.” Farmers desiring more complete information on results secured with dust treatment of cotton seed un der South Carolina conditionr should ask the Publications De partment of Clemson College for copies of the Annual Reports of the South Carolina Experiment Sta tion relating thereto. Auto Accidents Take 19 Lives COLUMBIA, Aug. 14.—Nineteen persons, 11 less than during the same month of last year, lost their lives in accidents on high ways of South Carolina in July, a report issued yesterday from the state highway department shows. During July also 116 persons were injured, which was 12 less than in July of 1934. The big decline in the number of deaths in July as compared with July of last year resulted in a slight lag in the total for the year. In other words there have been 148 fatalities so far this year, as compared with 149 in the first seven months of 1934. There were 22 less accidents in July just - past than in July, 1934, or a decline from 141 to 119. Dur ing the seven months of the year there have been 817 accidents, as compared with 821 in the same period of 1934. Careless driving was the cause attributed to 38 of the accidents and reckless driving to 28. Reck lessness due to liquor caused 19; dazzling headlights caused three; one or both lights out, one; defect of vehicle, seven; skidding, two; losing control, five; and various causes. -txt- Gives Symptoms Of Tuberculosis COLUMBIA, Aug. 19.—Persons from 15 to 25 years of age should take great precaution against tuberculosis, because this is one dis ease group that has increased in ts death rate while other groups have decreased, asserts Dr. Isadore Schayer, professor of hygiene and sanitation in the University of South Carolina. At the first symptoms of the dis ease any person of this age should have a thorough examination made by an experienced doctor. The first symptoms are: underweight, cough, lingering cold, perspiring at night, and one of the surest; a slight cough when the person :hanget his posture. Another good sign of the disease is quick tiring while exercising. The best means of preventing the disease is by eating much good and nourishing food, by getting ample rest and sleep, and by taking much out-of-door exercise. No one should do too much physical or mental work, because this is one of the best means of bringing on the disease. New methods of examination will determine whether or not a per son has tuberculosis.
