ABOUT LAND TAXES By A. C. RAY Mr. Editor: In the matter of taxes cn land I see that some go so far as to say that the county commissioners • can remedy this unjust burden, that makes the land owner pay 78 per cent of the taxes for our great state. This is not true, and is a great injustice to our faithful com missioners over the state to charge that they can give this relief. The only power that can change j the tax burden is the legislature,, who made the appropriation, that the commissioners have to provide for in their levy oil property in the various counties of the state. I suggest that only men who will pledge themselves to a reform in the matter of land taxes be sent to the legislature, and that it be made definite along lines of real relief. I suggest the following as reme dies for the present unjust dis crimination against the land owner: Tax incomes up to 6 per cent as provided, which will still leave 94 per cent untouched. Tax stocks of foreign corpora- 1 tions, which will tax millions of 1 dollars that has escaped taxes by } the acts of 1923. _ 1 - ' If necessary provide for a sales tax, which has been adopted in a number of other states. Make the state the unit in the • matter of financing the schools in stead of the counties as at present. This was necessary in the matter of roads, and it gave us the best financed system of highways of per haps any state in the Union without one dollar of levy for propei ty taxes. The legislature has the remedy, and there are yet plenty of ways to raise the taxes and cut land taxes 50 per cent. Pittsboro, Feb. 7, 1930. —— —■’ IN MEMORIAM Just a year ago today, February 14, the time of year when hearts seem happiest and ail nature is bursting with promises of the won drous springtime the message came to friends and relatives tnat Hilda Rose Utley was lying cold and still in a little white room of Mary Eliz abeth hospital where she had been taken for treatment only a week be fore. The blue yes had closed and the little hands were folded —the sweet spirit had slipped back to the Unknown from whence it had come. To those of us who loved her the year has been long, for much of the sweetness and the bright of life went with her..‘ But the memory of her youth and the gladness of her linger. We are grateful for the joyousness that .characterized the brief years she spent on earth. Her short, beautiful life was an open book—modest, gentle, yet sparkling with energy and the charm of you • It; is comforting to dwell upon the thought that somewhere m the spirit world beyond she is waiting in her eternal youth to greet us when we, too, shall pass on. : * “You, my dear, _ Have shown us God. The memory of your smile Reveals His face. As mellowing years come on apace, And when you went before, You left the gates of Heaven ajar, That we might glimpse, Approaching from afar, The glories of His grace. Hold our hands, ' Guide us along the path, That, coming, We may stumble not Nor roam, Nor fail to show the way Which leads us —Home.

It is the accepted antidote for pain, It always helps; it never harms. Quick relief when you’ve a headache, or cold; or are suffering from neu ralgia or neuritis. Rheumatic pains yield, too, if you’ll only give these tablets a chance. But you want genuine Aspirin, so look for the Bayer Cross on every tablet. The box always bears the name Bayer and the word genuine printed in red. Vol. 11, No. 1 \ irginia-Carolina Chemical Corporation Copyright 1929 Co-ops lo Market Cotton Ey delivering cot ton to a state co operative cotton .marketing asso ciation instead of selling it in tie open market, the grower now can get almost the present local selling r price as an immediate advance from his association. When the cot ton is finally sold, the grower has reasonable expectation of an ad ditional amount. The success of the plan depends entirely on the farm ers themselves, says J. A. Evans, of the U. S. Department of Agricul . . ture. -C “ —probably the best piece of to bacco in this section. Used V-C Burley Tobacco fertilizer, just what you recommended. Am more than pleased.” — S. W. Keys, Glade Spring, Va. -C Diversification at Last “The report that farm conditions are generally excellent is further proof that business conditions are sound. Improvement has been marked, despite local slumps. This is partly due to diversification, which is now at last being prac ticed. No longer are farmers com pletely wiped out when any single crop fails.” — New York Times. -C Each individual leaf is handled 35 times, in the Quincy area, to pre pare Florida shade tobacco for cigar makers. -O Canada Is Learning, Too “As the plant food content of the Canadian soils slowly diminishes, fanners realize more and more the value of fertilizers in obtaining in creased yields.”— Commerce Reports. -O Hydrogen gas will harden peanut oil so It will stand even tropical heat without melting. After the oil is taken out, the by-product makes a good flour, high in protein content *nd fine for feeding animals as well as lor human food in dietaries. ; . .• . . • . . • ... 4 i i *• • • -V . .. .. * VIRGINIA-CAROLINA CHEMICAL CORPORATION gßaaHaaaHHgaaHHßg, —M- .

Sound policy must ex clude such land from agricuifare and assign it to its legitimate uses such as timber production and grazing.”—J. G. Lipman, New Jersey College of Agriculture. -C Cotton prices depend on the Quality of the crop as well as on the total number of bales. -O New International S) r stem “Several states of the south will this year transfer their allegiance from their time-honored custom of stating phosphoric acid first to the international system of statin* ni trogen, phosphoric acid, potash.”— E. Tj. Robins, President, National Fertilizer Assn. -C American flue-cured tobacco is sit ting pretty. The world is smoking more cigarettes every year, and foreign production of the flue-cured is limited. -C Now It’s Your Turn Ever hear of the man who got so scared when he heard the burglar that his false teeth chattered in the glass of water? Yes? Well, then, did you ever hear of the other fellow who was so ugly that when he hired out as a scarecrow the crows hurried home and brought back com they’d been stealing for three years? Attaboy! Three cheers for V-C! -O • v ■ -• ■ “ —used V-C Fish & Potash Com pound and my corn is 18 inches higher, and better in all ways, than where I used none.” — John Lutz, Sinking Spring, Pa. Science Adds Millions Farmers and farm leaders of Georgia have furnished a striking example of how to add millions of dollars'to agricultural income by applying scientific methods. A dozen years ago tobacco was a com paratively unimportant crop in the state. Today it ranks second in value. The agricultural leaders learned exactly what types of soil were best adapted to this crop, in formed Georgia farmers of the facts, and thus insured the rapid growth of a highly important in dustry, says Dr. H. G. Knight, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. -C • • “Fertilizers are expected to con tain potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen. The time is coming when, they will be more complex. Nitrogen can be fixed from the air, but es sential minerals cannot.” — Florid «, An Industrial Survey. -C Let’s Keep It Secret! They’re figuring on growing cot ton in another state of Brazil —the state of Para. Pernambuco and Ceara, the two other states that grow cotton down there, produce 80,000 and 100,000 bales respectively. What wouldn’t they do if they had V-C! -C ; “ —used V-C Fish & Potash mix ture on my fall wheat and reaped an excellent harvest. Am well satis fied. Have ordered three tons for next fall.” — Calvin Holtzman, Sink ing Spring, Pa. 'i '■ V-O * Now Look to Quality “Qualitative production is the next stage. We must be able to say that if a certain soil is fed with a . certain plant food it will produce fiber of a certain quality—the val- V uable fiber that is needed today.”— Dr. E. C. Brooks, President, North Carolina College of Agriculture. PAGE FIVE
