Federal tax mo-t ney trickled tijnt| to Uncle Sam. I And to take up| the slack, the! Govt, upped the! taxes on every-! body throughout the Nation, in-' eluding the Seat tle citizens. And Jo Semi if you lived in Omaha or El Paso, I said, you got nicked, so it was I not Just a joke on Seattle. So a fellow in Philadelphia wrote me via the Honey Grove Herald. A nice fellow, I think ? he kept his temper and wrote, nice. Anything lost in taxes, lie said, could be made up to tin citizens- in lower rates, if jts puf J licly owned plant \V$s operat^BJ efficiently. IF, he said. But ne] didn't say how the citizens in El Paso or Omaha and elsewhere1 throughout the Nation were to go about getting their tax money back, due to any operating effic iency or vice versa, in a Seattle plant. I am up a stump? I don't happen to live in Seattle ? so I will give the Philadelphia gent 3 cheers if he will tell ihe what to do. Yours with the low down, JO SERRA. \ /ICTORY ON THE FARM FRONT from M? Afrinltvnl [ximitoi Strrkt STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: Is it true that there will be a shortage of egg cases. ANSWER: Yes. There will he a deflnit shortage of both wood and fiber cases in 1945. according to reports. Producers, dealers, handlers, afld everyone concern ed with the movement of eggs to market should consider this shor tage and place orders now for good egg cases. H? 11 QUESTION : How should I sow my tobacco l>ed where a chemical treatment was used |o destroy weeds? ANSWER: Prepare a very shallow seed bed with a garden rake. Live weed seeds will be found in the soil Just below the first few inches of top soil which, received the treatment. If thes"eH need are brought to the surface or it'seed are dragged onto the bed from the outside- these seed will rapidly germinate in the j spring and undo all the good work of chemical treatment. Foi l these reason. a very shallow working of the bed at seeding is recommended. 2 DESIRABLE TOBACCO FARMS FOR RENT ! See me immediately. v W. L. Lumpkin Louisburg, N.
