C. W. HORACE CARTER Editor EVELYN LEONARD Associate Editor MARK C. GARNER Business Manager TAXES EXCEED IUUU U»W Ask the average man what his chief family expense is, and he'll probably reply food. But he'd be wrong. The Chamber of Commerce of the; United States points out that the average family's tax bill, is greater than its combined food and clothing budgets. For fiscal 1952, the total tax bill is around $86,500,000, 000. of which $62,100,000,000 consists of Federal taxes and the rest state and local levies. That amounts to $500, 000.000 more than the Department of Commerce says we spent for food and clothing in 1951. Prospects paint a darker picture for 1953 when the Federal tax alone may jump $7.000,0(Λ>,000. So many of our taxes are collected as a hidden part of ' the cost of all the things we buy that most people don't realize the magnitude of the load. In 1939 all taxes aver aged less than $400 per family—today the figure is close to S2,000. The Federal debt now totals $260.000,000,000, which means that the average Federal mortgage on each family is $5,860, in addition to state and local debt mortgages. We will never be able to reduce our debt mortgages and tax liability until government cuts wasteful spending and keeps expenditures within the limits of its income. Amen! I LIKE MONEY DI TBE BANK What product accounts for the largest share of the farmers' cash income? The answer to that question is: '"Meat—and by a wide! margin." Last year, agriculture's cash receipts from all crops and government payments totaled about $3,907,000.000. And more than one third of that sum—Si 1.250,000.000—came from the sale of cattle, calves, hogs, sheep and lambs. This meat income represented an increase of S2,000.000.000 over the 1950 figure. Breaking the statistics down another way. meat animals accounted for 34 cents of each dollar that went into the farmer's bank account. By contrast, dairy products repre sented 13 cents, poultry and eggs 11 cents, vegetables 5 cents, fruit and nuts 4 cents, cotton S cents, food grains 6 cents, tobacco 4 cents, feed crops 6 cents, and miscellane ous crops plus government paymentsj) cents. From agriculture's point of view, all crops are import ant, all have special virtues. But meat animals have cer tain advantages that put them in something of a class by themselves. They can profitable be raised in practically any region and under almost all conditions of climate. They can be produced on any scale—from the farmer who readies a few head for market to the rancher who runs thousands on the ranges. A "cash on the barrel head," supply-and-demand market is in operation every business day. The producer can sell his stock and get his money whenever he pleases. These are reasons why most farmers are in the meat business to some extent, and why meat animals have long been their principal source of cash income and will con tinue to be. BOOSTING RUSSIAN CAME 1 In the view of B. Brewster Jennings. Pres., Socony \"acuum Oil Co.. current government attacks against United States oil concerns operating abroad threaten the free world's 11-to-l oil advantage over Soviet Russia. He said: "When our government.. . suggests that the Ameri can oil companies are guilty of wrongdoing and perhaps crooked, it is not hard to imagine how., the king, prime minister or government department of a nation which has recently concluded a solemn concession contract with us may react. . .. The logical thing for the Soviet Union to do would be to try to break the concessons, as has already happened in Iran, by creating trouble between the companies and existing governments, or by causing the downfall of exist ing governments in the hope that their successors would not do business with the companies."

If you asked every one for an .nswer to those questions, I ex ec! we would run into a wide .ariety of answers because the ciiday seasons, any holiday sea on. is enjoyed by m3nv in differ ?nt ways. Perhaps none of us really make t a time for giving thanks for hat which we have been blessed :s we should, although you know · I know many persons who ■ ο seem a little closer to God on j nksgivir.g t .an at other times, j Ye*. m?st of us find it a time , or pleasure, and we feel that in! iddition to being thankful, we! should make it a point to relax md enjoy a day or so at this sea •on. Farmers here at Thanksgiv ing time have just completed c -.arc! season of tobacco and p^tstc growing and marketing. It's time or a little rest. And those other? : us in tl.is area who are depend eni upun me isrnuxig ciuuwiu», pretty generally deserve a little | time off also. Thus. Thanksgiving! comes at a right good time for ι those in the farming belts. And. of course, that's the way it was originally planned. Early | settlers were, through necessity, almost all farmers and they chose 1 the time immediately after the i harvest season to thank God for; their success during the summer! and to eat and play for a few days. Now almost all of us think of j Thanksgiving as a day of big din- i ners and a lot of eating. Perhaps we all eat too much, but after; all that is one of the pleasures enjoyed by so many people every- , where. Perhaps we Americans eat; so well the year around that even the typical Thanksgiving dinner · with all the trimmings isn't too' great a contrast from the usual.; but we have worked in the turkey! aspect of Thanksgiving dinners; along with cranberry sauce, pump kin pie and etc.. u::*il it is usually ' a treat looked forward *o bv most · The world productio nof sugar is about 35 million tons annually —enough to fill a box the size of a football fiend and six miles aavmgs Donds valued at " have been awarded to *ix ί Ä and Future Farmers—·.«·-in ^ the State Junior Toi^r«, l:} 5 and Sales. innere acco ς·.*" FOR SALE COKER'S FULL GRAIN SEED OATS First Year From Breeder 11 — See— A.

As in those early settelr days, a lot of people still look to Thanks giving as a time for going hunting, and that certainily is one of the most widespread pleasures at Thanksgiving time in this area. It happens to be the day that the law makers chose to open the bird hunting season, and gives hunters their first legal opportun ity to go into the fields and woods in search of the quail. And there are a lot of people who find Thanksgiving a good time to visit relatives in out of town areas or to visit with local friends and neighbors. All of which is in keeping with .the principles of thanksgiving—a time for being thankful, and yet a time for relaxation and play. So. regardless of how you spent your Thanksgiving, it's a pretty good bet that you enjoyed it more than just any old day during the year. But then, every wd^. that you live is a good one* isn't it?
