So much has been said about
franchise taxes thut some mem
bers of the Legislature asked for
an explanation. They were told
that a franchise tax is a tax for
the right of doing business. It is
based on the amount of business
done, but it gets away from the
idea of income. It is in fact a sub
stitute for an Income tax, and this
form is made necessary if further
increases are made by reason of
the fact that the State Constitu
tion limits income taxes to six per
cent Franchise taxes are already
levied in North Carolina, and the(
substitute proposes only to in-1
used in New York and other states '
and has . been upheld by the
Supreme Court of the United .
States. The idea of the franchise
tax is the same as that behind the ,

North Carolina' is well adapted
for poultry production on a large
scale, says Roy S.' Dearstyne, head
of the poultry: department at N. C.
State College.
- The climate Is conductive to
poultry ( and the soils produce
economically the basic feed such as
corn, wheat, oats and barley. The
fisheries on the coast supply an a
bundance of fish meal and men
haden oil. The well developed mill
ing .industry is another advantage,
he says. -.
Another Important factor is the
nearness to markets, he y points
out The State itself la a large
consumer of poultry products and
the large metropolitan markets are
within overnight haul, ' '
But the Industry will, not thrive,
he adds, unlesa'poultrymen follow
the, methods of scientific; and pro
gressive poultry raising. -.' f,,.
' One of the most important fac
tors is that of breeding, he says.
Among the important characteris
tics transmitted from parent to off
spring are egg size, persistency of
production, ' early feathering, and
early maturity. .'

such a lot of preaching to get

It can be no longer said , that
there is no demand for moist sweet
potatoes-outside of the South. The
demand ia ample in the East and
in several 1 arge markets in the
Central West. In fact, the demand
far exceeds the nan t ;

Question: When should lespedeza
be sown on small grain? . : .
Answer: To avoid the late freezes
lespedeza seed should not be sown
before Febf uary and, in many cases
thia seeding should be held off un
til the first of March.-The Korean
variety germinates in about two
weeks and, where, this variety is
used, the seeding should be made
as late as ... possible.. The other
varieties germinate in about four
or five weeks earlier than the
Korean. ;
