Corn Production
Brings Less
Than Beer Tax
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—South
Carolina’s entire corn production
brought farmers $34d,000 less
than was collected in taxes on
beer and ale in South Carolina
last year, the United State* Brew
ers Foundation reported today in
a special economic review.
Taxes on beer and ale in
South Carolina amounted to $5,-
84(5,000 in 195(5, including $5,-
725,000 in state taxes and $121,-
000 in federal collections. State
taxes over the last ten years in
creased $3,898,396, or 213 per
cent, indicating the brewing indus
try’s increased impact on the
state’s economy, federal taxes
were up $62,025, or 105 per cent,
over the same period.
By way of comparison, South
Carolina’s farmers received $5,-
500,000 from the sale of their
corn crop last year, according to
recently released U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture statistics.
South Carolinians consumed
393,983 barrels of beer and ale
last year, 1,1(55 barrels more than
10 years ago, the Foundation re
ported. Per capital consumption
in the state in 1956 was 5.2 gal
lons per person, far behind Wis
consin which tops the nation at
25.5 gallons and the national av
erage of 15.7 gallons.

In the Stone Hills of the
Dutch Fork, where I came up,
every house had its lightning
rods, with their spangled fork
pointing towards the sky from
about 4 feet above the highest
chimney. And the next highest
thing around the house was the
martin gourds that hung from a
tall pole out there in the yard,
usually near the woodpile and
smokehouse. Now both of these
things of the past have been re
placed by the television aerial
that adorns as many homes as
they did.
It is obvious what the rods
were for. To ground lightning,
of course. But some might won
der as to the purpose of the
martin gourds.
Back then we raised all of
our chickens with the hen. And
hawks were bad. When they’d
get started, they could clean an
old hen’s brood out in a few
days. We cut holes in gourds
and strung 8 to 12 on cross
pieces on tall poles fot martins
to nest in. And a martin will not
tolerate a hawk. For some rea
son, the hawk is afraid of the
martin, even though 10 times
its size. So you see, we put
those gourds up for a very prac
tical purpose. And they worked
too. With those beautiful mar
tins a-twitter overhead all the
time, catching insects, a hawk
wouldn’t venture near. And the
old hen could scratch for her
brood undisturbed.
One spring a storm blew our
martin gourd pole down and we
didn’t get it fixed back up in
time. I had a bantam hen with
a few cute little chicks about
half grown. At dinner one noon,
we heard a great commotion in
the back yard. We ran out in
time to see the hawk take off
with one of her chicks. He was
a little slow getting off, after
the fight she had given him on
the ground, and she followed
him into the air, caught him, lit
into him, and the hawk dropped
that chick unhurt, but half scar
ed to death. By the next spring
we had our martin gourds back
up.
Next week I’ll tell you anoth
er hawk experience of that sum
mer.

Milk Programs On
Increase In S.C
Public schools in South Carolina
with special milk programs serv
ed more than 9 million half pints
of milk to school children last
year, 28 per cent more than the
7 million half pints served during
the previous school year, W. H.
Garrison, State School Lunch
Supervisor, said today.
The three-year-old special milk
program is supplementary to the
regular school lunch program. Un
der the latter, milk is served with
all type A, or complete, lunches.
Milk under the special milk pro
gram is served in addition to this.
Schools participating in the school
lunch program receive four cents
reimbursement from the federal
government for each half pint of
milk served beyond the first half
pint with lunch. Schools not par
ticipating in the school unch pro
gram are reimbursed three cents
per one half pint. The remaining
cost is paid by the child.'
Under the special school milk
program, school children receive
milk early in the morning as
buses arrive, during the mid*-
morning activity break, and in the
afternoon, as well as at lunch
time.
The special milk program was
begun during the 1954-55 term.
In the past three years, the num
ber of participating public schools
has increased from 658 to 933.
In South Carolina the milk pro
gram for public schools is ad
ministered by the State Depart
ment of Education, while non-pro
fit private schools apply to USDA
Agricultural Marketing Service in
Atlanta for participation in the
program. Organizations operating
summer camps and child-care in
stitutions apply to the South
Carolina Dairy Commission.
The purpose of the special milk
program is to improve child
health, develop the milk drinking
habit by children, and to increase
fresh fluid milk consumption.

The Palmetto Garden Club of

which will feature a lecture on
arrangements featuring old roses
by J. C. Dowling, Jr., of Gaffney,
nationally accredited judge, and
an illustrated lecture on the cul
ture of old roses by Dr. Freeman
S. Weiss of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, president of the
Potomac Rose Society. Of special
interest will be arrangements of
old roses in the silver pitchers
awarded to winners of the Old
Rose Exhibit at the State Fair.

Savings Bonds To
Be Streamlined
Effective October 1, the Series
E. Savings Bond will be issued in
punch card form. Slightly smaller
in size than the paper bond now
in issue, the new bond will be on
cardboard stock.
The change from the paper
bond to the new style has been
made by the Treasury Depart
ment to improve the fabuloys rec
ord keeping system of bonds by
electronic means. It is estimated
that a half a million dollars a
year will be saved in printing
cost.
Firms which operate Payroll
Savings Plans and issuing banks
will be able to save time and cost
since the new bond can be proces
sed in their modern equipment.
The smaller, cardboard bond
should benefit the owner. Its size
facilitates storage. The inadvert
ent destruction of bonds with oth
er papers and their loss by chance
should be reduced by the stiff
cardboard material.
Replacement oLbonds lost, stol
en or destroyed is guaranteed by
the government. The new improv
ed record keeping system will
speed up replacements.

Mr. Sterling expressed hia
thanks to all the postal employees
for the kindnesses shown him and
announced that he would remain

One of the oddities of life is
how a man can be his own worst
enemy by being his own best
friend.
