CURING OF MEAT
IN LOCAL PLANT
JACKSON ICE CORPORATION AN
NOUNCES OPENING OF ITS
COLD STORAGE PLANT FOR
THE CURRENT SEASON
The Jackson Ice Corporation an
nounces the opening of its meat cur
ing plant for the 1933-34 season.
The plant is now ready to accept
pork for curing, and several reser
vations have already been booked, it
is stated.
The rate for the current season
is 2 cents per pound, the plant to
furnish salt.
During the past few years the
business has expanded considerably,
as farmers have become better ac
quainted with the advantages of ar
tificial refrigeration. Indications are
now that the plant will handle a
large volume of business for the
present season.
The cold storage and meat curing
plant was installed primarily for the
benefit of the farmers of Butts and
adjoining counties. With the facili
ties offered it is now possible for
farmers to cure pork at any season.
Many find this less expensive and
more satisfactory than depending on
cold weather to save their meat sup
ply-
All who wish to avail themselves
of the facilities of the local plant are
requested to get in touch with Mr.
W. C. Pinnell, general manager of
the Jackson Ice Corporation.

CORN, PORK TAXES
EFFECTIVE NOV. 5
FIFTY CENTS PROCESSING TAX
PER 100 POUNDS ON HOGS
AND 28 CENTS PER BUSHEL
LAID ON CORN
Atlanta, Ga.—Government pro
cessing taxes on hogs and corn will
go into effect on “the first moment”
of November 5.
I On hogs, the tax will be fifty
cents per 100 pounds, based on the
light weight; on corn it will be 28
cents on each bushel of 56 pounds.
W. E. Page, collector of internal
revenue, said Monday his office
would handle collections of the taxes
and supply whatever information
concerning it as packers, distributors
end retailers desire.
On November 5, at 12:01 a. m.
the tax goes into effect on hogs and
hog products, whether in transit or
in storage..
Packing and distributing plants
will be required to take an inven
tory of their stocks, and an invento
ry of retail stores must be taken at
the end of the thirtieth day, fol
lowing effective date of the tax. Re
tailers will then pay the tax on such
amounts of pork products on which
the processing tax will be paid. For
example, if a retailer buys 5,000
pounds of bacon during the 30-day
period, and at the end of the period
his inventory shows 5,150 pounds on
hand, he will pay the tax on the
150 pounds.
In both the hog and corn process
ing taxes, such amounts as are pro
cessed for use of the producer, his
family or employees, it is exempt
from the tax, where an affidavit is
made to that effect.
