Yield Expected to Run Consid-
erably Above Average;
Fodder Heavy
Crop is Expected to Form Basis
of Extensive Stock Feed
ing Program

Harvesting of a bumper crop OF
corn, whose value has been en-.
hanced by rising markets of the
past ten days is well under way in
the Bluffton district.
Prevailing hot, dry weather has
rapidly matured the crop and an av-
erage yield of from 90 to 45 bushels
thruout this section is anticipated.
Average corn production over a
period of years is usually from 80
to 40 bushels.
Production, however, from some
sections favorably situated for corn
growing which escaped damage from
last months tornado is expected to
be considerably above the district
acreage.
With steady to strong hog
market anticipated during the COM
ing months as well as a good price
for cattle, the large corn crop with
unusually heavy fodder, will provide
the basis for what is expected to be
one of the largest livestock feeding
programs in recent years, during the
coming year.

2.3O MILL SEWER
LEVY ESTIMATE
County Auditor Submits Figure
For Twenty-Five Year
Bond Issue
Bonds Would be Issued to Meet
Towns Portion of Pro-
posed System


If Bluffton electors vote favorably
this fall on the $4,000 bond issue to
finance the major portion of the
towns cost in construction of a pro-
posed 100000 municipal sewage sys-
tenn and disposal plant, the tax rate
to retire the bonds over a 25-year
period will average 2.3O mills annual
ly.
That was the estimate last week of
County Auditor Floyd Griffin, who
based his figures on bonds bearing
five per cent interest. 1t is expected
however, that the bonds may be sold
at a rate of interest materially less
than that figure. This would in turn
be reflected in lower tax levy.
Griffin's report on the tax rate
marked the final step in prarping the
bond issue for submission to the vot-
ers at the regular November election.
Preliminary Work Finished
His estimate was submitted to the
town council to permit the completion
of preliminary action required in
arrangements for including
the bond issue on the ballot.
With an average rate of 2.30 mills,
the tax assessment would be an av-
erage of $3.50 per $1,000 of taxable
property included on the tax dupli-
cate. During the first twelve and one
half years the tax would be higher
than $3.50, but it would be less for
the second twelve and one-half year
period.
In addition to the $50 mill average
levy to retire the bond issue, each
property owner also would pay an es-
timated average fiat rate of $6 each
year to retire $4,000 in special rev.
enue bonds, which would be required
to complete the towns share of $780,
900 in the 100000 project.
The Sc special revenue assessment,
however, would be the same on all
properties, irrespective of valuation.
In construction of the town-wide
sewer system and the disposal plant,
the town would pay 100000, with
the balance of the projects cost,
100000, being provided from federal
funds thru the WPA.

WHEAT AND Hoe
MARKETS LOWER
Prices Appear to Have Stabi-
lized Temporarily Under
Peak Levels
Wheat Quoted at rs Cents; Top
Hogs $3.50 Here Wednes-
day Morning

After ten days of skyrocketing
prices stimulated by an hectic de-
mand for foodstuffs, livestock and
grain markets appeared to be sta
bilizing at least temporarily, at
levels somewhat lower than the
peaks reached the latter part of
last week.
Hogs which went to a top of 50
per hundred pounds last Thursday
were quoted at top of $3.50 here
Wednesday morning. The current
market Wednesday represented an
advance of 40 cents per hundred
from Tuesdays top.
The wide swings of prices, how
ever, have resulted in no increase
in normal volume of selling, dealers
stated. The principal reason as a.
scribed for this lack of selling is the
fact that the spring hog crop is not
yet ready for market.
No WHEAT SOLD
Wheat sales have dropped to neg
ligible proportions, dealers stated
Wednesday morning when a price of
78 cents per bushel was quoted.
This is five cents under the market
peak established last Thursday and
one cent lower than Tuesdays price.
With harvest-sales of wheat COM
pleted during the threshing season
more than month ago, the lack of
offerings now in the face of a
strong to rising market would in
dicate a prevalent belief among
growers that still higher prices, pos
sibly dollar wheat, are in the of
ing, dealers said in sizing up the
situation Wednesday morning.

They had expected to be gone only

When war broke out, officers of
the large liner were fearful of re-
turning to New York because of the
danger from British submarines and
warships.
Instead, they set their course for
Dutch island off the north coast
of South America, but upon arrival
there found they were unable to
land the passengers, as the United
States had notified port authorities
that it would be necessary the Co.

they were taken to Miami, Fla, by
United States ship.
