North Carolina tax pavers are allowed to make a deduction of $300 on certain items i personal property. The spirit hack of this exemption is praiseworthy; but there is plentv of room for criticism in the man ner in w hich the deductions actually apply. The pur pose of the exemption; very evidently, is to relieve the individual of paying taxes on the bare means of an existence- the simple necessities of a household, a few tools, farm implements, the food on the pantry shell and the old family clock. One might think that the purpose of these ex emptions was to help the poor num. I'nfortunately, however, it frequent! works to his disadvantage. We will show vou how : Your Farm - How to Make It Pay Another Democratic Year LJ. I". C. BRYANT, veteran correspondent in Wash "ington, writes in The Charlotte News that this is not a Republican year, certainly not in the south, and predicts clean sweeps for Democratic congressional candidates not only in North Carolina, but also in Tennessee and Virginia. "Red Buck," as Mr. Bryant is known to many fellow Tar Heels, has gained an enviable reputation from North Carolina to New York for the dependa bility of his political predictions. Hence, his forecast of another Democratic landslide is quite dishearten ing" to Republican leaders. Mr. Bryant ventures several reasons as to why the Republicans won't get far in the south this year. One is that the national party leaders "are too in terested in recapturing big northern and western states, where prohibition is and was unpopular, to aid and abet their candidates in the south to raise the wet and dry issue." Another is that "the Republicans will waste no campaign funds on southern party can didates this year." The biggest reason the Republicans won't get far this year, however, is simply that "there is no en thusiasm in the G. 0. P." For Republicans, from the leaders to the ranks, realize they don't stand a chance of upsetting Franklin D, Roosevelt's new deal govern ment. Although many people. Democrats as well as Republicans, are somewhat critical of certain admin istration policies, there are few who would care to CHEAP GAINS MADE BEFORE PIGS WEANED T NO time in a pig's life will he make as cheap gains as when he is properly fed during the suckling period. "One should be guided in feeding spring-farrowed pigs by the use to be made of these pigs when they are ready for slaughter," says Earl H. Hostetler, in charge of The Farmer's Question Box Timely Questions Answered by N. C. State College Experts Question: What causes caum t:ilism in rhirk: :md what can be swine research tor tnertn care jone to prcv.ent this habil? lina Experiment Station at State College. "During the suckling pe riod however, all pigs should be fed the same regardless of how socv they are to be marketed. If the sow is to farrow two litters of pigs annually, she should be full fed during the last five or six weeks of the suckling period so that she might supply her own body as well as that of the litter with the necessary nutriments." Hostetler points out that where the sow is fed by hand, the pigs should be allowed access to shelled corn in a creep in addition to what they may get from the sow's feed. Where the sow is fed from a self-feeder, the pigs may' eat with her and will need no addi tional feed. During the period before the pigs are weaned, it is important for the sow and her litter to have ample and fresh, succulent grazing. This will stimulate the milk flow and encourage growth in the young pigs The corn or other carbo hydrates fed should be supplement ed with an adequate supply of protein, such as fish meal or tank age, Hostetler says. He also points out that sprinc pigs intended for sale this fall should be continued on full feed Answer: The exact cause of cannibalism is not known but it is the opinion of good authorities that overcrowding and confinement has much to do with creating the habit. The trouble is more likely to occur when early hatched chicks are reared in confinement. To com bat the vice allow the chicks a good run in the open and see that they are out whenever weather per mits. Where they are crowded the group should be divided, allowing six square inches of floor space for each chick. Where the habit is formed the worst cases should be destroyed and the others isolated. 'and his gold watch. The well-to-do tanner gets a de duction on the valuation of his tractors. The doctor is allowed a deduction on his costly implements. The fellow who draws a good salary and has an electric refrigerator, an expensive stove, a talking machine and fine furniture reaps the advantage of this deduc tion. Of course, this deduction theoretically is the same for everybody, except corporations, which are barred from exemptions. Actually, however, it is used bv many a a loophole through which they can avoid payment of taxes on personal property worth far more than the exemption allowed. It would cer tainlv be revealing to go over the tax listings and discover how many fine homes are so sparsely furn ished. Now let us take a look at the poor man, not the downright poverty stricken fellow who is just a step away from the county home, but the moderately poor man, the kind of fellow someone has said is the back bone of the nation. He may own a small farm or home, or he may be a tenant or renter. If he owns any real property he pays taxes on it. But whether he owns any land or not, he is required to list for taxes all of his household belongings and also his livestock, which probably consists of a decrepit mule, two or three pigs, a doen or so chickens and the cow whose milk sustains the family. He, like the man with a good income, is allowed a $300 exemption on his household goods, hi- tools ami his implements; but what a joke that is. This fellow's house contains an old kitchen stove worth about S3, one or two hand-me-down beds with homemade tickings, a couple of homemade table.- and a half-do.en split bottom chairs. The ornaments on his walls are advertising calendars. His library con sists of an almanac and a Bible. Maybe he has a dol lar watch and an alarm clock, and maybe he depends on the sun ami the neighbor- for the time and the rooster to awake him in the morning. Seventy-five to a hundred dollar would cover all the personal property he owns, including his plow and wagon. Of course, he has to pay no taxes on this: but he does have to pay taxes on his livestock, and. if he owns his small farm, on that too. What are we driving at, you ask? Simply this: Why not allow the taxpayer to apply the exemption wherever he wants it. If he does not possess 300 worth of household furnishings, let him get credit for the balance .of his exemption on his livestock. Then, if there is still a balance left, let him get credit on his farm or whatever else he possesses. Some might argue that this would exempt hun dreds of families from paying any taxes whatsoever. Doubtless, it would relieve a considerable number from paying any ad' valorem taxes: but if their be longings do not exceed $300 in value, we think thev are entitled to this deduction; Furthermore, this lit tle fellow bears his share of the burden through the sales tax and the various-methods of indirect taxation. .As the law now stands, it is a fuse against the poor man.

Although many individ-as breeding animals should also be uals sincerely question the advisability of some of the new economic experiments, such as crop curtailment and regulation of private industry, the great majority of the people are inclined to give them a try. Cer tainly they do not desire a return of the do-nothing policy which characterized the Hoover administration. Question: How can my, standing timber be protected from the Pine beetle? Answer: This beetle is usually held in check by its natural ene mies, but there is a danger if there are many "falls" in the timber. In this case all trees that are down or broken should be taken from the woods at once. This should include the whole tree logs, tops I and large limbs that are over three (inches in diameter. Material he rl'Av three inches in diameter will not be a source of danger. Simi lar results can be secured by peel Jacob Addison Steck THE Keowee Courier, published at Walhalla. S. C. came .out last week with black mourning rules on its front page, a token of esteem and respect for its late editior, Jacob Addison Steck. Mr. Steck died on April 30 in an Anderson hospital after a short illness. He had been editor and co publisher of the Courier for 30 years. Although Franklin and Walhalla are close enough to each other to possess a neighborly feeling, the edi tor of this newspaper never had the pleasure of meet ing Mr. Steck. However, through reading his news paper, we came to admire and respect him as a cap able newspaper man. an honest writer and the kind of an editor who places the interests of his commun ity above all else. His death must be a sore loss to W alhalla and Keowee County.

"This beetle feeds on the under side of the bean leaves and usually the larvae as well as the adult in sect will be found feeding on a plant," says C. H. Brannon, ex tension entomologist at State Col lege. "When the infestation is se vere, all parts of the bean plant above the ground are fed upon and the plant may be completely de stroyed. Injury to cowpeas and soybeans is also bad but the beet les rarely feed upon the stems and pods of these plants." In controlling the bean beetle, Mr. Krannon warns growers to keep in mind that the bean plant is very tender and can be easily injured by strong poisons. He says the right poison must be used and it must be applied in exact amounts. The poison must also reach the under-side of the leaves. Where the beans are grown in small areas as in a garden, five k el tablespoonsful of magnesium, arsenate to three gallons of water makes a good spray for beetle con trol. A mixture for large areas may be prepared by using one pound of the magnesium arsenate to 50 gallons of water applied at the rate of about 90 to 100 gallons of the mixture to an acre of beans. Mr. Brannon recommends that treatment begin as soon as the beetles appear in the field and if the insects are numerous, the treatments should be repeated every week or ten days. Often three or four applications are nec essary, but, usually, two careful full fed until they weigh about 7d pounds each, then the grain ration mav be limited.
