A definite rotation of crops is building up the soil fertility on the farm of G. E. Callaham o' Bladen county and is giving him more profitable yields per acre. Mr. Callaham began his rota tion in 1923 and has continued it gince. Though the weather- for the past three years in this section has been either too wet or too dry for best results, the farm ha* pro duced a profit in >pite of these difficulties. Two dotations are used, one for the feed crops and the other for the cash crops. The feed crop rotation is praoticed on three fields of seven acres each and consists of corn and velvet beans one year, jfollowed by corn aud soybeans after which fall planted oats and vetch is used. The third year, oats are planted for hay followed by soybeans and lespedeza for hay and rye as a cover crop. Mr. Callahan secures an averago yield of 30 bushels of corn per acre. He makes about 3000 pounds of soybean hay per acre and the lespedeza has given him a yield of 2,500 pounds of hay per acre each year for ihe past two years. This feed he has used with two mules, a herd ot short horn cattle, throe pure bred sows and a good bunch of pigs, and a fbck of white leghorn poultry. His sales of livestock and livestock products for 1926 have amounted to $1,200. His cash crop rotation is on two fields of three acres each. In this he plants cotton followed by rye for turning under and' tobacco, the second year followed by cow peas. He has made money on his cotton each year, including 1926, reports County Agent J. R. 1 Pow ell. His yield of cotton this year was at the* rate of 1,700 pounds ofseed cotton which brought him H total of 186.67, per acre. The eost of the fertilizer was only $9, leaving; a gross profit of about $75 According to Mr. Powell, the soil on the Callahan farm is so fertile that he cannot,use ordina ry methods of growing tobaeeo. HHUHIB little nitrogeu and lets his tobacco grow high. This year he m»de a profit of $528 per acre on this crop. Let Pines Grow On Poor Acres. Since the cotton farmer ean hardly get a profit from cotton grown on anything but the most fertile acres where high average yields may be made, it might be wise to try putting some of the poorer acres or marginal acres in piue trees. "We know that it is ouly the former who gets a high yield of eotton per acre who cau make »ny profit from its production, •specially in a time like this," ttys R. W. Qraeber, extension forester at State College. "The profit then comes from a lower »bor cost per pound of cotton produced. If we study the eost °f. Producing cotton in North Car ina, we find ohat when the crop ■ selling at an average priee, Were are about 50 percent of the wres that are marginal or snb- land. By this, we mena 'ja that pays only fair wages ttle cost of the fertilizer with »other profit. The sub-marginal 'es are worse than this. When -ou is not selling at an average P |ce, the condition is worse." inerefoie, states Mr. Graeber, ®ight be wise for us to let some lis poor producing land grow J"* Pines. Shortleaf and lob ft.

V r of fch# 58 counties in California Inereased their tax rat f ° 19_26'l 9 _ 26 ' 17 »tayed the same as in 1946, and 16 lowered their rate. The eonnty indebtedness tor the 58 counties for 1926 is q^'si lß ' Bs9, * n iuoreaß ® of $6,- 975,411 over 1925. The number of acres of land assessed this year totals 51,571,162, a gain of 476,- 011 acres. These, figures closely approximate conditions in many other states. _ In a growing state, it is natural that expenses increase. Bnt» Jlf the state is growing, it is natural thai tax income from newly assessed property and from increased assessments au old property which has groM In value, should be larger. As business grows, its coats of, production, management and ad-' ministration generally decreases, barring some nnnsual condition. The revftree seems to be the case as government increases, barring the same unusual conditions that affect business. If the people constantly demand more at the hands of government than it can supply with a normal increase in tax revenues, they must expect constantly increasing, -tax bills. But under normal con- it would seem as if busi ness administration of govern mental affairs could so arrange its budgets that the normal in crease in tax receipts would take care of the normal growth of gov ernmental activities. Ot course, if government goes into various lines of business which are entirely foreign to the functions of government, it is but natural that the people should ex perience abnormal increases in tax rates. Oldest Southern State—North Carolina. What was once the oldest Southern commonwealth is now a most progressive industrial state having aroused interest all over the world. There are large shiniag cities with skyerapers of steel and mar ble where not many years ago stood the tall forests. It is not a one city state, when you look over eities like Ashevllle, Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham, Kinston, Raleigh, New Bern, Winston Sa lem and many manufacturing and health resort places. Among greatest assets of the state are 25 to 80 billion feet of standing timber, the expanding fruit industry, and an aggregate farm croji yield of 1300,000,000 for 1925. A large variety of minerals are foun4 in this state, including iron, copper, gold and silver, with a very, (argaproduct from fisheries and shellfish. ■» The state has hydro electric storage of 2,000,000 horse power, and 578,000 potential horsepower available 90 per cent of the time.
