' Auto Tax High
OPERATORS PAT AVERAGE OF
ftiLM PER VEHICLE, SAYS
McCUEN
COLUMBIA, Aug. 17.—Motor ve
hicle operators in South Carolina
paid an average of $62.34 per ve
hicle in special automotive taxes
during 1934, according to G. 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.”

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

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.

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.

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. These con
