CHEROKEE WHAT SHALL
WE DO?
Cherokee ha> been a large pro
ducer of --tie-, tail bark, acid
wood ami other Surest products.
The fore-i ihu has been a larrrc
s?uve of income to her people.
Th'--e re.-ources. h- wev^i. arc being
icpleted by the sawmill, the axe and
by f 1 *_'? t fire-. It becomes apparent
therefore that the people of Chero
kee :>?- depend more and more up
on t tilling of the soil to make a
livir tr. There :nv --ther natural re
o-r-r. in the -'ounty. including iro?M
ores. tal< . marble, copiier. and water
l>- ?. -i r. Sooner or later these will
be : -vel | ed. I ti the meantime if
t.h ?unty is to continue to hold her
own. or to make any substantial
prog:re->. >!u* must develop a prosper
"U- at;: "ilture. wane a progressive
campaign t- c <nst i ve her natural
resources, s-jch as forest.-, fish and
K ar: i provide various sorts of
industrial plants to give employment
to her people in the urban areas.
The population figure- released
. i'Vi ? al m int; - au' ? were not very en
c ouraging. The county showed some
gains, it i- true, but. when the num
ber of borths ar(. taken into account
there wa- an actual exodus from the
coui ty. The town- more nearly held
their own than the rural areas.
The lata for the farm ce.n>us of the
:?'y are v. ?: very em ., iratfinir.
eii'r.e:". There are some encouraging
evidences. however, that the county
n ay expect to <i-. better during the
next Five year- than she did during
t::e last five. These may be ei;um-(
crate- 1 as follow-:
Kit t. the work of the county at:-'
ent in directing diversification f
farm i ni? so to make it not only more
pr* fitable but also more attractive.
There is also evidence that the farm
ers of the county welcome his lead- j
ership and advice more and more.
Second, the I-'olk School, which
has done and is doing a great deal
to make rural life attractive by awak
ening the community consciousness
of the people and teaching them to
enjoy their environment and to work
together and play together for their
mutual social and economic welfare.
Third, the unflagging efforts of
a little band of people in the prin
cipal towns of the county to co-oper
ate with the rural areas in improv
ing their agricultural program and
to bring into the county manufactur
ing plants to utilie the raw materials
and labor of the county.
The good roads of thi.; section, the
development of the Smoky Moun
tains National Park, and of the
whole mountain section as a recrea
tional and resort area should also
play a part in the development of
Cherokee county during the nuext
five or ten years.
The people cannot sit with folded
hands and wait for better days to
come. It takes a militant citienship
to forge ahead in these days of com-,
petition. Neither does any commun- j
ity have to depend entirely on out- 1
side help. Hie can do what they
think they can. If Cherokee's citi
ens think they can make agriculture j
more profitable and leas onerous;:
if they think they can make her for
est, fish and game resources more i
valuable; if they think they car.
make their urban areas more pros- ;
perous ? they can do it.
Raper Says Can Only j
Cut Tax Values Ten
Percent, and Raise 10,
In a statement to the general pub- !
lie this week as to revaluation of j
veal estate, Lon Raper. of Oak Park. !
Tax Supervisor for Cherokee Coun- -
ty, said : I
I am sorry to announce to the tax
payers that the last acts of the lepr- 1
islature put off the revaluation of ,
real property till 1934. So things I
have changed about till I can't give ?
the tax payers the reduction? on their ,
property that they are entitled to i
on same. I know that most every j
body is expecting- seme reflation |
in their real estate values, a* they :
consider it all too h;gh, and so do I. !
There are some er<- options to the
last law, giving the Board of Equal
ization and Review rights to regu
late some properties that they may
find out of line with other property,
and t > cu: the general tax as much
u> ten percent, as a whole over the
county- This v.e will try to do when
we meet n the third Monday in
?June, and all that wish some change
j in th-:ir property values may c ome
J before ?n that date, otherwise you
will fail t receive any reduction on
tre value of real estate.
Before we were stopped in reval
uing real estate, we weie reducing a
irreat deal of the real estate values,
f r the 'ax pay* i -. and I find that
most "f tht. people were satisfied
with what was being done for them.
... this revaluation.
I am sure sorry that we can't irive
, then-, what they ? \j ? t ??t" us on their
; high tax values. Tr.ey way 1 see
. "hirer about th, leal estate values.
' * all >r.oul?i le cut about thirty per

t ????!?!<? <i : at--- ?r th,Hpte if they
have the livV value or- their prop
if the i <>ai ; uld see things like
j I do when w?- meet, you would get
what you want. ::nd the law would
all' w ns to ? i" this for you. but we
can go only - far. up or down, on
, the values, around ten percent.
I will el- ? "Ut on this matter by
"ating that I -.m > ?rry that the law
will not allow ue to do what we want

CONTROL OF TWO
CABBAGE PESTS
By H. R. Niswonger, Extension Hor
culturist.
The cabbage aphi> and green cab
bage worms are the two kinds of
pests most likely to cause serious
damage. There are two kinds of
ureen cabbage worms, the imported
cabbage worm which works on the
tipper side ??f the leaf and the cab
bagc looper, which works on the un
der side of the leaf.
Materials to Use
For Cabbage Aphis ? Spray or dust
with 40 percent nictotine of sul
phate. Spraying, use 1-2 pint of
nicotine and 2 pounds of soap to 50
gallons of water; smaller quantities
at the rate of 8 teaspoonfulls to t>
gallons of water with enough soap
added to make good suds.
Dusting, use a 2 percent nictotine
dust which can be purchased or made
at home by a method described by
the manufacturer of nicotine sul
phate.
For Cabbage Worms ? Spraying,
use 2 pounds of arsenate of lead to
50 gallons of water. Dissolve sever
al pounds of soap and add to spray
solution in order to make it stick
better to the cabbage leaves. A
smaller quantity of spray may be
made by using 2 ounces to 3 gallons.
(2 ounces can be measured out by
using an 8-ounce measuring cup ? 2
oz. 2-3 cup. )
Dusting, use 1 part of arsenate of
lead or calcium arsenate to 6 parts
of hydrated lime.
When and How to Apply
For Aphis ? Applications should be
made as soon as aphids appear. It
is necessary to hit the insect with
the spray or dust for good control.
