The work has helped 'me In my canning, cooking, Hewing, house management, house furnish ings and community fairs. In our club work we have learned to can all fruits and EVKRY OARD KN VEGETABLE. Just think what this means to a housewife! Before I was a member I would always th ink, l'What must I have for dinner or supplr?" for I would only can about threa dozen cans of apples, poaches and tomatoes. Now I never think of what! I am "going to have until the time to cook, for I have three or four hundred cans of apples, peaches, to matoes. l^na beans, string beans, soup mixture, corn,* In fact all kind of fr uits and vegetables. I hever use all of my cans ffon> one year to another. l;csides canning, we have learned to make all kinds of pickles* and pre serves. I have directions for cook ing everything you may think about in the very easiest and the very Tiest way . We have learned to economize in Our cooking which of course Is a great, help- especially now wJth condi tions as they are. I have learned to prepare so many new dishes that I never knew before.

As I have had several requests to compile and have publish; ed some further figures showing by comparison the amounts levied for 1919 under the old and -the amounts for 1920 under the revaluation I here with submit the following, and ask your Indulgence for the necessary space : The total tax for 1919 was $240r 839.20. But of the latter -amount $4,105*21 fs for a special road tax In CyT>ress C reek township voted since the reval nntMi w?a inmlM 8n llip jj-qc . um.iu.ul +evied-tor 1920 imripi-__tha revaluation is $255,709.01. In other words the increase in the total amount of taxes in this county for all purposes is a -TF-rffpTm-lnl.!' ulv PHI I !?!! I . i ? Hie tuxes were distributed as tol lows - I ? Tt> the State . To the State for?1920 $30,351.03. I Tu Hie -Siliuula fui 1010 8GC.30a .T.?. I To the Schools for 1920 $81.634. 90. I To the County. Poor and Bridges '"? ! To the County.

The seeming big discrepancy in the amount of school tax levied for 1919 and for 1920 is due to a change of law whirU, diverted a considerable portion of the school tax frjom the State treasury at Raleigh direct to the county school fund. Formerly this money was sent to Raleigh and reapportioned whereas it is now paid directly to our county school fund by therSheriff. After all has been said the total tax levied under the revaluation is not much in excess of that levied for 1919, and that is not the trouble. The trouble is that the lands were valued at a time when places were sky rocketing, abnormally high, and absolutely- ficticious; resulting in a shifting of the burden of taxation from the shoulders of those who are most able to pay. From personal property to real ^estate. Especially is this true at this time when farm property is less productive of in come than any other property. I dare say that the average citizen will cheerfully bear his just and fair proportionate part of the burden, of taxation. But when the farmer com es up to pay his tax and knows that he is paying upon the basis of a val ue, in many instances, much in ex cess of, and in some instances several times, the actual value of his proper ty the payment becomes A galling and he has a Just cause of complaint. 1 am confidently looking to our Legislature for some adequate relief on this vexatious question.
