Are the Packers Profiteers?
Plain Facts Abouts the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war
prots stated that the five large packers have been
Proteeng and that they have monopoly of the market
hese conclusions IT fair and just matters of
concern not only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of country
The figures given profits are misleading and the state
ment that the packers have monopoly is UNSUPPORTED
by the facts
he packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove
their profits reasonable and necessary.
he meat business of the largest American indus
tries Any citizen who would famiarze himself with its
details must be prepared for large totals
The report that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were $40, 900 for the three war years.
This is compared with S $4,000 900 as the average
annual profit for the three years before the war making it
appear that the profit $2 O00 900 greater than
the prewar profit
This compares hreeyear profit with one-year profit
manitesty unfair method of comparison 1t only
misleading but the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate three-year profit of $l4OOOOO 900 was
earned on sales of over four and half billion dollars It
about three each dollar of ales-or mere
traction or cent per pound Of product
Packers profits negligible factor in prices of live
stock and No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins of profit.
furthermore this is very important-only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been back into the businesses 1t had to
be- you realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had to solve and solve quickly during
these war years.
To conduct this business in war times with HIGHER costs
and the necessity of paying three the former
prices for live stock has required the of two or three

honal profit makes only fair return this and as has

been stated the larger portion of the profits earned has
been used to huge stocks of goods and to provide
additions and Improvements made necessary by the enor-
nous demands OF our army and navy and the Allies
1t you business you will appreciate the s;oni6
canoe OF these facts If you unacquainted with busi
ness, talk this matter with business acouaint
ance-W1th your banker, say-and ask him to compare
profits OF the packing industry with those of anv other
large industry at the present time.
No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission
IN support OF the statement that the large packers have
monopoly The Commission report shows the large
number and Importance of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to
prove to any fair minded person that they are in keen
competition with each other and that they have no
to manipulate prices.
IF this not they would not dare to make this
positive statement
Furthermore figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report account for only about
one-thrd of the meat business of the country
They wish possible interest you the details of
their business Ofhow for instance they sell dressed
beef for less than the of the live animal owing to
utilization of byproducts and of the wonderful story of
the methods of distribution throughout this broad land as
well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating
with each other the of together presenting this
public statement.
They have been able do big job for your government
in its time of need; they have all war time demands
promptly and completely and they are willing to trust
their case the famndedness of the American people
with the facts before them

Tomatoes Dying.

"What can I do for my tomatoes?
They are just beginning to bloom
and are dying. I pulled one up and
could see nothing wrong"
Your soil is doubtless infected with
the Fusarium fungus. Of course you
can see nothing with the naked eye
till the plant succumbs. There is NO
way to check or prevent this disease.
The only thing that does any good is
to save seed from plants that live
where others around them die, and
thus breed resistant strains. The
agricultural department at Washing
ton, D. c., has been doing this, and
suppose will give you some Of the
seed if application is made to the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry. l would sup"
pose that in Alabama you would have
ripe fruit by June. If you can still
get plants you can set some out in
the fields where the soil may not be
infected.-Progressive Farmer.

Tobacco Barn Burned.

Last Friday Mr.. c. R. Brabham
had the misfortune to lose his tobacco
barn by fire. The house had been
filled with green tobacco, and in the
process of curing, which is done by
means of heating the barn by a fur
mace, in some way the tobacco caught
on fire. The barn and contents were
a total loss. The barn and the to-
bacco in it were valued at between
four and five hundred dollars, but
Mr.. Brabham's heaviest loss is be-
cause of the fact that his tobacco
is ripening fast, and he has no barn
in which to cure it. This being Bam-
berg's first season in tobacco, there
are no barns except those construct
ed by individual planters.

The Herald is requested to publish
the following:
Whenever and wherever you see a
town begin to grow and prosper, take
on a new lease of life and make a
bid for newcomers to settle there
and new enterprises to spring up, the
first step taken to bring about this
prosperity is towards making the
town perfectly sanitary. Do we want
Bamberg to grow, do We long to have
a perfectly healthy as we'll as beau
tiful town, in order that desira-
Bile class of citizens will be attracted
to settle here-where parents will
not hesitate to send their boys and
girls to board in our midst and make
Carlisle a power for edication and
cause those of us who live here to feel
so we'll all the time that we will cease
to cast our eyes upon a more health
full place of abode?
1t can be done, but are any steps
being taken in this direction? Have
mt our city fathers and board Of
health relaxed their vigilance and
left the health of the town to take
care of itself of late? Numerous Pc
titions have been sent in by the res
idents on Carlisle street to the town
council. Have these ever been act
ed upon? Flies have been more nu-
merous tbs year than ever before and
the surface closets of the town should
have special attention; still in GER
tain locations the sanitary cart has
allowed two months to elapse be-
tween visits. These closets should
be visited during the summer months
every week. AS to the neglect OF
bitches, the railroad banks, etc., we
will not speak in this article, but pray
to the members of the council and to
the board of health to awaken and
get to work. Lives are too precious
and health too valuable an asset to
neglect so important a matter.

The funeral train reached Trenton
at 1:30 o'clock and the funeral SER
vices were held at 4 o'clock in the
Presbyterian church, which stands in
a small grove of oaks in full view of
the town and the senator's residence.
The ministers who conducted the
services were the Rev. R. G. Shan
nonhouse, the Rev. E. C. Bailey, and
the Rev. B. R. Turnipseed. Services
were held both in the church and at
the gravel in the Trenton cemetery.
Magnificent floral decorations
banked both the casket and the ros-
trum of the church. These came
from President and Mrs. Wilson, the
members of the South Carolina dele
cation in congress, the senate of the
United States, Secretary Daniels, the
Trenton Masonic lodge and countless
friends from different places.
Hundreds at Cemetery.
At the cemetery where many hun
dreds of persons had gathered who
could not gain entrance to the little
village church, the total crowd num-
bering about 5000, the services were
concluded and mother earth fell soft
ly upon all that was mortal of the
aged senator. Loving hands then
tenderly placed flowers upon the new
ly made grave and the family re-
paired to the residence just beyond
the little grove. Distinguished citi-
zens acted as pallbearers.
1t was the desire of the members
of the special committee from Wash

possible to their work, therefore the

down started on it's way back north
