mi !M-J Pasre 16 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY, DECEMBFR 1( Life Down On The Farm Looks Better For 1939 Outlook Shows Farmer Will Have More Money, And Living Expenses No Higher John Smith, the farmer, will have wore money to spend next year. His income from farm products will be bigger and he won't have to pay any more for living expenses. This is one of the conclusions ot tne annual Out look Conference on Farm Living just held jointly by the Bureaus of Agri cultural Economics and Home Eco nomics. - The Smith family may have to pay a little more for ready made clothes next year than in 1938, but textiles will be about the same. This is im portant because the Smiths make a larger proportion of their clothes than do urban families. The survey indi cates. Shoes will cost more. Automobile prices will be about 5 per cent less. This is important too, be cause farmers now have more automo biles in proportion than city people. Furniture prices are going to be a little higher. Kerosene, gasoline and gas will be about the same, but coal prices will be higher. Food won't show much change. That is to say the higher prices of potatoes and truck crops will be offset by lower pork prices, and some cereal products. Farm radio ownership is apt to bounce up next year. That is because of the city-farm cycle; ; city people will earn more next year from the business upturn, so they will have more to spend on farm products. So the farmers will have more money to buy city products. So the city people will buy more farm products. And so on and so on. It's called a "busi ness cycle." Farm radio ownership is now 60 per cent of all farm families. This is low er than the city average, one rea son being absence of electricity. But farmers have more cars proportion ately. Automobiles were owned by over 85 per cent of the native-white non-relief families in most parts of the country, except the Southeast. Here the ratio is 60 per cent. Inci dentally, the Smiths' car took about one-sixth of their aggregate expen ditures. The Smith family is gradually get ting electricity. In fact, trends toward more comfortable living are frequent. In 1930, 13 per cent of farm families had current; now the ratio is 18 per cent. That's partly due to the big Government drive behind the Rural Electrification Administration; and partly due to higher incomes. the Uutlook Conierence found a tendency to greater farm co-operation and advance planning. One big new development is the establishment of community storage lockers in local refrigeration plants, The idea start ed on the Pacific Coast, spread rapidly through the Middle West, and is now getting under way in the South. It ts only beginning in the East. There are 2,500 such community plants now in the country, and new ones are start ing at the rate of 50 a month. At present the farmers chiefly are putting their meat into them for storage, a side of beef or a home-fattened hog, but nse for vegetables and fruit js grewing. Take it all and all, the Smith fam ily is doing better than it did, the observers believe. The report says: "In spite of the downs and ups of farm income in the 1030's there is evi dence of various kinds of improve ments in farm living conditions dur ing this period." . Women In 86 N. C. Towns Fight Hidden Taxes In Campaign Women in 88 cities and towns throughout North Carolina have formed units of the National Con sumers Tax Commission to join a "crusade against hidden taxes that penalize the consumer," the NCTC announced today. Led by Mrs. William T. Hannah, of Waynesville, NCTC state director North Carolina housewives, business women and leaders in civic and social affairs are pledging their support to the tax crusade with plans to form many additional units. The commission is a non-political organization of women with head- auarters in Chicago, waging a na- Warning Issued Against "Rabbit Fever" By Dept. With the opening of the rabbit sea son in North Carolina, Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, State Health officer, issued a warning against tularemia, common ly known as "rabbit fever," and cited precautions which should be taken to prevent the spread of this disease, which causes the patient to become and combating "those taxes that do not contribute to the community in proportion to what they take out," Mrs. Hannah said. "One of the main targets of the NCTC is hidden taxes those un seen levies that are paid unknowing ly by all Consumers in increased prices on every purchase," she con tinued. "Providing 63 per cent of all local, staj$ , and national tax revenues hidden taxes fall most heavily on families of smaller means.

"But there are precautions which will give you reasonable protection," he assured, and urged that these be borne in mind until the season, which opened Thanksgiving Day, closes February 15. How Tularemia Spreads "In tularemia, we have another dis ease which is spread through the bite of pestiferious tick," the health office said. "It may also be transmitted by certain kinds of flies. It attacks wild rabbits, particularly. Domestic rab bits are, as a rule, free from it. due to the fact that they are not exposed to these sources of infection. "Human beings contract tularemia by either handling, skinning or cut ting up raw meat of infected animals, infection being transmitted through an open cut, a scratch or an abrasion pf the skin. Even the merest scratch "Hence, it may be readily realized that the hunter is not the only one who should exercise caution. The health of his wife may be endangered, or that of his child, if he or she is the one who skins or cooks the rabbit -or even the hired girl may be Jeop ardized. Some Simple Rules "Here are some simple rules for the prevention of tularemia infect tion: "Use rubber gloves don't handle rabbits with your bare hands. If it is impossible to secure rubber gloves, then have plenty of soap and water handy and wash your hands with these immediately after skinning a rabbit or cutting up raw rabbit meat. important to kt-P .
