TIMELY MOWER REPAIRS
One of the best investments a far
mer can make is timely repairs and
adjustments to his mowing macnine,
says P. B. Ezell, county agent, for
good care increases the life of the
mower, reduces the draft, and im
proves the quality of work done. Loss
of time from breakdowns is also re
duced when the mower is kept in
good running condition.
The “heart” of the mower is the
cutter-bar assembly, where probably
90 percent of all mower troubles be
gin. A good' job of cutting requires
that the cutter-bar and guard plates
be in proper alignment. The knife
should be sharp and centered so it
will register properly, and the knife
sections should rest flat on the guard
plates in order to give a smooth cut
ting action.
Farmers can find helpful informa
tion in Extension Circular 173, “Motv-
er Repairs and Adjustments.” This
circular may be procured from the
County Agent’s office or from the Ex
tension Publications Department at
Clemson.
BAILEY PROPOSES A SIMPLE
RETURN
GROWING PULLETS NEED
CONSTANT CARE
“A clean range providing some
shade, a good growing mash, plenty
of grain, and an abundance of water
will result in a good crop of pullets
being grown out”, says County Ag
ent P. B. Ezell, advising Newberry
county poultry raisers not to forget
or neglect the growing pullets.
‘'Pullets must have shade during
summer if they are expected to grow
into profitable layers. When not
provided with shade that keeps them
cool they stop eating, get stunted,
and do not have normal resistance to
diseases and parasites.
“They sometimes become infested
with lice very quickly when on range
and should be examined for these
parasites often.”

Washington, Aug. 23.—Senator
Josiah W. Bailey, Democrat, North
Carolina, proposed today that the
government take over the job of fill
ing out the small taxpayer’s annual
income tax return. Bailey, a mem
ber of the senate finance committee,
said he intended to propose this plan
next week when the committee begins
consideration of proposed amend
ments to the house-approved $3,236,-
700,000 revenue measure.
“Instead of sending the small tax
payer a complicated return to fill
out, I would send him a question
naire,” Bailey said. “He could ans
wer fourteen or fifteen questions
about this income, swear to the ques
tionnaire, and return it. From that
information the government could fill
out his return, compute the tax, and
send him a copy of the return, and a
notice of his tax.”
Bailey, who was internal revenue
collector for North Carolina from
1913 to 1921, said his experience at
that time convinced him that the
small taxpayer’s problems can and
should be greatly simplified.
The need, he added, would be parti
cularly acute if the tax base is fur
ther broadened by reducing the ex
emptions from the present figures
$800 a year for single persons and
$2,000 for married couples to $750
and $1,500 respectively. Such a
move, it is estimated, would bring
in an additional 6,000,000 persons in
to the federal revenue system who
Jiave not been required to file returns.
The treasury itself has proposed a
simplification for taxpayers in the
brackets up to $3,000. Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury John L. Sulli
van presented a chart averaging the
taxes that would be due on incomes
from $750 to $3,000 in brackets jump,
ing $25 at a step. A taxpayer whose
income was less than $3,000 could ex
amine the chart, find the tax listed
for his income, and pay it. He would
have the privilege of figuring his
own tax, however, if he preferred.
Under the treasury’s proposal tax
payers showing incomes of $3,000 or
less would be permitted to make a
blanket deduction of 10 per cent for
contributions and exemptions, if they
so desire.
Bailey maintained that his own sys
tem would be “preferable”. He
contended that it would take no
more clerical work by the internal
revenue bureau than is now required
to check the returns of taxpayer*
who now fill them out them-selves.

FIRE APPARATUS LOSES
GLAMOUR FOR OLD-TIMER
Misses Margaret Scruggs and Dor
othy Jones attended the Baptist
Students conference which was held
in Columbia last weekend.
Columbus, Ohio, Aug 23.—Today’s
streamlined fire fighting apparatus
has none of the glamour of that of
years gone by, according to Charles
Babcock, retired employe of a Colum
bus manufacturer of fire apparatus.
Fire engines are trim vehicles to
day, with little decoration upon their
flashy red sides, but engines of yes
teryear were ornamental as well as
useful. They were decorated wrth
fancy scrolls, gilt lettering galore—
even portraits of fire chiefs.
For example Columbus apparatus
was distinctive a quarter of a cen
tury ago because it bore the portrait
of Christopher Columbus.
This was the k*ind of artistic work
done by Babcock, first in Seneca
Falls, N. Y., then fof 32 years here.
