all last year, and in the motor vehicle
. division H^Rl^tO.80 more than fto
the fuH 12 month# of 1920-40. This f
is a gross total increase of $6,402,- j
486.68 with all Jane collection* yefc
to be added. Last Jane's collections
were above $5,000,000.
The tremendous increase it is now
certain wiB be shows for the ear-,
rent year is not doe to a jump in
revenue from any one source or
from any new tax levies. As a mat
ter of fact tiie revenue is that of ,
the second year of a bietmium and, '
therefore, there has not been even
the dotting of an 'j" or the cross
ing of a "t" in the way of changed
revenue statutes.
Yet there is going to be a very
substantial increase in fourteen of ,
' the fifteen items listed each month
on the report of tax collections. The (
only falling off will, in itself, indi
cate better times, because the item ,
"miscellaneous" is ordinarily com
posed of penalties and long over
due taxes collected so long after t
they were due that there's no cor- ,
rect place to list them. This "mis- j
ceUaneoos" classification is the only ,
one winch will show a falling off. ,
The entire year has produced a i
series of new records, with every ,
month practically wiping out the j
marks up to that time.'

I FARM QUESTIONS
[ QUESTION: When should cotton |
receive a tide dressing?
ANSWER; Cotton should be Hide
dressed within 10 days after chop
ping on all except heavy soil types
with 16 pounds of soluble nitrogen. I
An example of this would be 100
pounds of nitrate of soda to the I
ten. If a 3-8-3 fertilizer was used,
the nitrate, of soda application should I
be increased to 126 pounds to the
acre. If rust 'symptoms have de
veloped in previous crops, an addi
tional 25 to 50 pounds of potash!
within 10 days after chopping should (
ba nned if the potash content of the I
fertilizer used was not increased.]
Fhis .would mean the addition of 50
to 100 pounds of muriate of potash ]

QUESTION: How should poultry

ANSWER: Dirt floors, regardleeaj
yf the care given them, are a dit-f
inct menace to the welfare of the j
poultry industry, says Roy S. Dear

Summer Shelters
Prove Profitable
Summer range shelters , will v pay
las much on the investment as n|
other expenditure the poultrymin
can make, according to T. T. Brown,
extension poultryman of N. C. State
Conege.
Where more than 100 birds are
kept, the shelter results in feed a^j
nomy and healthier, mor? thrifty
pullets. This' assures the producer
of a more economical egg production
and a lower pullet morality.
"In order "to face competition more
successfully," Brown stated, "the
poultry raiser should be interested in
any piece of equipment or practice
that really gives results such as the
surtuner range shelter does.1' ? *>j
Whan the shelter is placed on clean
Uutd where ample tender green feed
slid shade are available, it will- cost
much less to feed pullets than if the
birdf were eonfined to a small yard
, Where-the pullets rang&pn a green
crop such as lespedeza or soybeans,
they will get something that th?;
feed manufacturer, has not been able
