DRIVE TO COVER
ENTIRE STATE

The local force of field deputies is
making a creditable showing in the
Federal income tax drive. according
to a statement made by U. S. Col
lector OF Internal Revenue John w.
Herring. in commenting upon the
campaign for delinquent taxpayers.
The force has been augmented by the
addition OF Deputy Collector Black.
of Milton, whose district comprises
the lower section OF the State, and
this increase in personnel will allow
the devotion OF more time to the
auditing of the returns OF small shop
keepers and business houses. AS far
as possible each deputy has been
specially trained for a particular
kind OF return, and various audits
are being conducted throughout the
city. Upon completion Of local re-
turns. the efforts OF the field force
will be directed 10 other sections of
the State.

Sees NEW ERA
FOR FARMERS

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1a-Onite,
Press)-Predicting a new era o
activity and prosperity for the Unit,
ed State President Harding toda,
promised the nations farmers thar
they would be among the first Fl
that new era to get the Substantial
recognition" which they must have
The Presidents promise. coupled
with a statement that the Harding
administration has already done
much for the farmer in helping re-
store prices and markets, was read
20 a farmers gathering at Wash
ington Courthouse. Ohio. this after
noon by Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace.
Mr.. Harding said that prices for
farm products are still too low. I.
Is apparent he said that the farm
ers is not being adequately compen-
sated. The Washington adminlstra-
tion has recognized this condition
and has done everything in It's pow
er to restore a normal balance be-
tween prices and costs OF produc-
tion. A grat deal has been accom-
plished and ] am glad 10 say the
trend is strongly towards better con-
ditions for the farmer"
The President predicted that the
American farmers never would unite
in a program Of decreased produe-
tion. such as has been threatened by
some farmer leaders recently.
After praising Secretary Wallace
and the agriculture department for
the help given the agricultural in
dustry, the President wrote
THE other day a farmer said TO
me that the farmers could them
selves rehabilitate agriculture very
promptly II they would Just unite ir
a program OF reduced production. ]
replied that the farmers would never
unite on such a program because Of
the peculiar economic circumstances
OF their industry. Every farm is an
economic entity by itself Every
farmer is a captain OF industry. Th,
OF competition among
them would be impossible without
sacrificing that ffne enthusiasm thai
