A loss of $322,781 was sustained by the removal of the lands of the Cherokee Indians from the tax books. However, this will make no difference in the taxes collected, because, whilo the Indian Lands were on the tax books, last year, no taxes were col lected from this source. The total valuations, in 1927 ar^ $8,460,473 to which must be added the corporation projH-rty, such as tlia Southern Railway Company, which has not yet certified to the comity i but which last year was #2,129,464 It will be approximately the sam I his year as last, and the total valu ation of the county, will be $10,689. M7. Last \car the total was $11,000, 430. .

In addition, have salt avail | able so that the cows can get more if they desire. The night hawk, formerly wantonly shot for sport, is really one of the' most useful of birds and an insect ?* - ? catcher of great value. These birds scoop their prey out of the air on the wing. Biological survey experts have examined stomachs of night-i hawks and have found more than 50 different kinds of insects,repre senting thousands of individuals, in i a single stomach. f. > The longer a broody hen is allowed to sit on the nest the longer it re quires to get her back into laying i condition, anti consequently the great-, | cr the loss in egg production, To break the hen from sitting put her in a broody coop where she can be properly fed and watered. The broody cocp should have a slat bottom in order that the air may circulate from beneath, thus keeping the body of the hen cooler, thereby tending to break up the hen's broodiness. Forests reduce erosion. Any veget able cover tends to reduce erosion, but forests usually perform this func tion more effectively and perma-, nently than any other type of veg-1 etntion. This is because of the thick mulch of leaf litter and branches which they drop upon' the ground. Furthermore, they are constantly feeding humus into the soil itself, increasing its porosity and binding its mineral constituents. Only the bets products, properly displayed will win a premium at the fair. SOME SPECIALS IN FEEDS i. ' } ;V;; i '?
