Meeting of County Equalization
Board.

The second meeting of the county
equalization board was held in the
auditors office to receive reports
from the township boards. All of
the townships were represented eX-
cept Moss. Verbal reports of their
work of assessing property were
made by all of the members, each
announcing the average valuation
Of horses, mules, COWS, and also the
average value Of real estate. The
work of the assessors has been more
thorough this year than ever before
and the chairman of the board com.
rnended the members and also the
township boards, for their faithful
and painstaking services.
All of the boards made a con-
siderable increase in real estate as
sessments. The increase in Elmwood,
Talbert, Collins and a portion of
Ward townships were somewhat out
of proportion to the other town
ships and a small reduction in these
townships was ordered by the board,
A portion of Pickens township was
increased by the board 25 per cent.
more than the township board had
assessed. A small increase was also
made in Moss,
1t is important that our auditor
be present when the tax commission
reviews the assessments of property
of Edgefeld county. Therefore Au.
ditor j. r. Zimmerman, who has
all along given the township boards
and the county board every possible
assistance, was instructed to 60 to
Columbia at the proper time to con-
fer with the tax commission, the
county paying his expenses.
While the work of the boards has
been much more difficult than at any
other time in the past, yet 1t was
done without friction or unpleasant
ness of any kind. For number of
years it has been generally conceded
that the agricultural property in the
rough, clay section of the county
was bearing larger proportion OF
the tax burden than the property in
the sandy portion of the county.
The values at which property has
been returned this year has correct
ed this inequality.

Forage and Pasture Crops For
Hogs.

Because Of the present high price
of feed swine raisers should pay
especial attention to the production
of the pasture and forage crops.
As the existing high price of our
corn seems to be the result of poor
shipping facilities and not an actual
shortage of corn, there is some hope
that the price will come down; but
we have no assurance of this. 1t is,
therefore, the business of hog raisers
to plant enough pasture and forage
crops to supply an abundance Of
feed which with the addition of a
limited amount of grain will keep
the hogs growing and gaining rap
idly. If this plan is followed the
producer will have his hogs ready
for market by late fall, and thus
get the advantage of the usual high
mark in pork prices at that time.
A small amount of corn planted so
that it will mature by the middle of
July will help greatly in pushing
the pigs to marketable weight by
September. Soy beans or cowpeas
should he planted in the corn.
One thing which the hog grower
has in his favor is the indication
tha. The markets are paying a pre-
MUM for lightweight hogs, and
since the cheapest gains can be
made on small, young animals the
producer will still have an advant-
age in spite of the existing price OF
feeds. Il. P. McCann, Louisiana
