REDUCING AT THE
WRONG PLACE
"The following' news was sent out
typm Raleigh Monday morning: ''Re
daction of state taxes-^income, fran
chises. license, and ether varieties ?
H likely to be a big issue* at the
seasion of the North Carolina general
.assembly in the winter of 1927. This
is in view of the fact that the tax
paying power of the <tate has ob
viocsly been greatly underrated for
the present biennium by the govet
nor nnd his advisors ?f the bu<!get
^'Income, franchise. license, and
?other varieties, but not a word about
the farmer, ?who, of all peop'e. should
be considered. Oh, we know many
will say at nee; why, the state col
lects rvo tax from the farmer. Yes,
but it does. The state pays you
-^?fcall maintain a six months school
term, and the fanner paj-'s n?o.re
than his just part of this tax. Ccr
#tainly, the, '-county !?- v >s t'-e tax.
and the couhty sheriff collects the
tax, but the >t ate says they sjiall do
ft, and ij the county-. fails to dv *.
then said eoanty fails t ? participate

will net be done, because there' will

The farmer has been' the poat for
many years; he1 ha* ri't been able to
ibreak even on his farm for several
, year*. and unless all siffns fail he
will have the same result v^th this
crop, but he will .pet j?st the Fame

? that is, PROMISES. Oh. if he

~ WHAT 1)0 vbu AVEkAGK
?' . ? . , ?
In a private Utter from llf. V. W.
Lewis, .Senior -JilarkHinfi ? Sjtecifclikt,
he give* ?:me figures which we think
should be considered by -'the fann
ers of this County. As he says,
something must be done, and J ve
stock is the one sure ahd quick way
to change this cortditi6rL Only . with
livestock can x?-u improve your lards
and at the same time help with the
expense f the farm. He says:
14 When you - farmers 'understand
that last year the average acreage
production of corn was 12 bushels;
average acreage production pf wheat
"was 9 bushels; average acreage pro
duction of Rye was 8 bushels; ave
rage acreage production of cow
peas was 10 bushels; average acreage*
production of soybeans was 10
bushels, they will understand that
something must be done with live,
stock as a money crop and for soil
building. v.
The Rothamstead Experiment
Station, in England, started 81 years
ago an experiments on land with
wheat growing 17 bushels per acre.
Acres that had no treatment ex
cept cpe crop of wheat after the
other is now down to 9 bushels per
acre and w#rile the acres having
proper attention ^are "growing 37
bushels per acre.
We do riot need to wait 81 years
to put Person County on a produc
tive basis, however, I am sure the
0ld_method of. farming will not do
it.
Let us knok if we can be of assis
tance toyou at. any time."
We are little interested in either
of the far mrelief bills new before
tCongresfc. because we do not be
lieve they will help the farmer very
much. The' sensible farmer , is n-d I
beggar, he wants rio special favors, j
brat he- does want to be treated as
other -folks; So 'one a? legislatirn
($ all Tn^fayor ;f ? ' "Sij? business"' so.
Ic-rtg'- 'will, the farmed, br in 'small
business." ?' '
.If the farmer has' an idea- that,
the banks of Roxb-ro are not in .sym
pathy with him and i. is condition he
;*h.cu!d' have attended the meeting
which- was ' held in ihe court house
? n the first ^Monday,. The Commis
' ? ners. ??wisely' we. think, decided to
make an appropriation for a C.unt'y
Agent, and it was largely through
.the work of the banks, which; .in- i
duced theirn to order the appropria
tion. Mr. (Farmer, you may not.; j
know it, but the batiks are your j
best.- friends and it "will pay y:u t j
St5?0c to 'them.' .- 1
. You* may" hoi brieve irT ^fayer.;; j
and ypu fnfay have- douhrs about the -j
popricty of praying for rain,, but !
>
cm two occasions last, week where
the people :f the towns met? closed
the stores, and prayed earnestly for
rain, thei? prayers were answered j.
before the day was gone. You may .
say, it was a coincidence, that rain
would have come any way, but we
believe it was an All Wise God who
heard the prayers of his children.
We have been keeping tab on the
prediction zf our Rood friend, Tom
Frazier, wl\o prophesied that Jurte
would be a ^v?t month. So far June
has been anything but a wet month,
there having- been slight showers on
the 1st. 4th, 5th, 8th, 12th and 13lh,
but none of them were "wetting"
rains, only light showers.
