HORSES CAPTURE
PULLING RECORD
Raleigh—Horses now enjoy the
distinction of being workstock
pulling champions of North Caro
lina.
Paul L. Fletcher, livestock
marketing specialist of the State
Department of Agriculture, to
day announced that a pair of
horses owned by Roger Sexton of
Lillington have been certified as
lifting 3,000 pounds dead weight
and pulling it the official distance
of 27 and one-half feet to better
the record of a Granville county
mule team by approximately
seven per cent.
The mule champions, owned
by Bodie M. Currin of Oxford,
Granville county, held the work
stock pulling “crown” until Sex
ton’s mares toppled the record
at the Upper Coastal Plain Stat
ion field day July 27.
Sexton’s''horse team which
weighed 2,800 pounds, pulled the
equivalent of 19.75 tons on a
wagon compared with Currin’s
2,610-pound mules team which
lifted the equivalent of 18.2 tons.
The state-wide champion will
be determined at the North Caro
lina State Fair at Raleigh, Octo
ber 10 through 14, when mules,
horses and steers w r ill pull in |
competition. Incidentally, one of
the two horses holding the present
championship holds a state-wide
crown won at the Fair last year,
but is now pulling with another
horse since her mate died several
months ago.
Sam Godard of Jamesville
owns the champion pulling
steers. Weighing 2,800 pounds,
they pulled 18.2 tons the regula
tion distance at the Blacklands
Station field day at Wenona July
13.

REDUCTION
In 1870 more than half of the
gainfully employed people in the
United States were framers, but
by 1930 this preportion had fallen
to a little more than a fifth.

With the exception of Rnssia’s hnge wheat crop and China’s outpnt,
the tentative world’s wheat supply is 5,290,000,000 bushels. Which means
that more wheat will be available for use in the 1939-’4O season than ever
before, according to estimates made by the U. S. bureau of agricultural
economics. The carryover is 1,200,000,000 bushels, and this year’s wheat
crop will total approximately 4,090,000,000 bushels.
Many Women Sole Support
Os Family, Survey Shows
Washington, Two surveys
made by Government groups in
dicate that great numbers of
women do the family bread win
ning, either alone or with the
help of another woman, often
while continuing their jobs as
home-makers.
Women’s Bureau experts,
studying 58,000 working women
in Fort Wayne, Ind., Bridgeport,
Conn., and Richmond, Va., found
43,000 of them living with their
families. Os these, they reported
nearly 10 per cent were the sole
support of the family. Twenty
per cent were in families support
ed by women and with no man
w age-earners.
A recent report of family in
come in Chicago by the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics
listed women as the principal
wage-earners in 14 percent of the
native white families and 18 per
PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. C.
cent of the Negro families studi
ed in a 10 per cent sample of the
city’s families.
Os 25,800 native white “com
plete families” (containing both
husband and wife), 1,100 had a
woman as the principal wage
earner. In 336 such families, the
wife or some other woman was
the sole wage earner. A woman
was the principal wage-earner
in 55 per cent cf the families that
did not contain both husband and
wife.
The three-city Woman’s Bu
reau Report indicated that the
proportion of families with wom
en workers increases with the
size of the family, Three out of
five of the nine-member families
included a working woman.
One-third of the 58,000 women
studied combined the job of
breadwinning with that of home-
I maker. In general, the Three-City
Report said, married women and
I women with tasks at home were
found in jobs offering less chance
for advancement than were single
women. '
In the (Chicago survey, experts
found that practically 90 per cent
of the families supported entire
ly by the wife were living on less
than $2,000 a year, and over half
cf them on less than SI,OOO.
o
FOOD
It is estimated that for ev
ery increase of SIOO in the income
received by families whose year
ly income is $1,500 or less, from
20 to 30 percent of the increase
would be spent for food.
INCREASE
A total of 350 cotton improve
ment groups had been approved
by August 10 for free classifica
tion of their 1939 crop as compar- j
ed with only three for the 1938-39
ginning season.

414 X • During the past ten years—l92B to 1938—revenue
lufflU ' s * freight traffic of the Norfolk and Western Railway
. decreased 26.5 per cent. Revenue passenger traffic
MW It* 1 ) decreased 57 per cent. On the other hand, the rail
road's taxes increased from $9,200,000 in 1928 to
$11,485,000 in 1938, or nearly 25 per cent.
Any way you figure it, you get the same answer
—constantly increasing taxes. For example:
Out of every SIOO taken in, the N. & W. ( $ 8.60 in 1928
paid the tax collectors ( 14.88 in 1938
For every person it employed, the N. & W. ( $ 333.68 in 1923
paid the tax collectors \ 858.47 in 1938
For every carload of freight originating on its f $ 11.72 in 1928
line, the N. & W. paid the tax collectors \ 18.08 in 1938
For every dollar paid in dividends to its stock- f 62 cents in 1928
holders, the N. &W. paid the tax collectors \ 77 cents in 1938
To earn enough revenue to pay its taxes, the f 31.4 days in 1928
N. & W. worked \ 54.3 days in 1938
The results of such a taxing policy ap
plied to the railroads, and to the nation's
industry as a whole, are inevitable—drastic
decreases in purchasing power, produc
tion and employment. These facts and
figures strikingly demonstrate the vital ne
cessity for curtailing Government expen
ditures and the consistent application of
sane economy in Government. Without
economy in Government there can be no
permanent national prosperity.

The Norfolk and Western and the other
railroads of the nation do not protest the
payment of their proper and equitable
share of taxes. As good citizens, they are
glad to contribute to public education and
to the orderly function of Government by
payment of taxes. But, when the cost of
Government reaches the point where taxes
take more and more of the national income,
while that income declines, then it is time
to slow down. For there is danger ahead.
