Rutherford Folks
T o Discuss Taxes
Ruthei tordton. July 24-0 R.1
Coffield. representative from Ruth
erford County in the General As
sembly has called a mass meeting
of the taxpayers of Rutherford
County to meet in the courthouse
here, Monday, August 3, at 10 A. M.
to discuss the proposed county tax
rate, which has been estimated to
be $116 on each $100 worth of tax
able property, as compared to $1 76
last year
The rate was boosted 54 cents
last year, or from *1.21 to $1.76
due to loss of funds in the defunct
banks of the county in February
1930 while the estimated rate is
57 cents lower than that of last
year, the advocates of lower taxes
claim that a 57 cents reduction is
not enough A large crowd is ex
pected to attend
Have Had Reaper
A Hundred Years
It* Invention Has Abolished the
Hanger of World 'Famine and
Given I's World Panic.
They are celebrating the 100th
year of the invention of the reaper.
It is a matter of interest that the
instrument which made world wide
famine impossible, has, on the other
hand, been one of the chief factors
in producing r world-wide famine
by giving several countries tremend
ous surpluses of wheat.
In a Virginia wheat field in July.
1831, Cyrus Hall McCormick looked
back on the first strip of grain ever
successfully cut with a mechanical
reaper, 'That, first clean swathe of
wheat served notice on the world
that the era of mechanized agri
culture had downed
It also indicated to the small
group of scythmen who had gather
ed to watch the expirment that
their occupation of swinging a scy
the and cradle soon was to become
a last art, that the traditional
method of grain harvesting, handed
down from the ancients, would be
swept aside and agricultural meth
ods and extend of acreage revolu
tionized.
McCormick patented his reaper
three years later, but did not begin
marketing it until 1840. A steady
stream of improvements were add
ed from the first, making for in
creased efficiency and practlclbility.
Acreage of grain had been increas
ed so much by 1861 that Secretary
Stanton, head of the War Depart
ment in President Lincoln s cabinet,
declared that McCormick’s invention
was of untold value to the northern
cause during the Civil War.
«Economists have credited the
reaper with even greater service to
humanity, declaring that It has ban
ished forever the fear of a world
wide food shortage, a fear that had
existed since Biblical times; Now,
far from fearing a shortage of grain,
the nations are troubled with grain
surpluses.
The surpluses are due, economists
say, to the wide use of motorized
implements. McCormick's reaper
was capable of only eight or 10
acres of grain a day. After that
there still remained the problem of
threshing. Today hugh combines
used in the great grain belts of
America harvest and thresh 30 to
40 acres a day
