BOYS, GET THE MONEY?This
eneral Assembly is going to have
s financial headaches outside the
lies tax. Public sentiment is aeif.nding
more money for school
:achers and those who dish out
le higher education. Other State
nployes also have the public on
leir side and more money is going
i be needed all around. How to get
is going to be a mighty big queson
in the present session and you
eedn't be surprised if somebody
;ps up with the old luxury tax

i.e general sales tax. Also ways

Diseased Animals h
u
Diseased animals should be quar- e
atined to prevent the spread oJ; c
ifection, says Dr. C. D. Grinnells, i
1 charge of dairy inpestigations a'; t
le N. C. Agricultural Experiment 1
tation.
Quarantine not only protects the s
ealthy animals, he says, but it also i
icilitates the treatment of diseased i
nimals. p
Grinnells also warns against in- t
oducing new animals into a herd F
lthout quarantining them for a
eriod of 30 or 40 days. If at tne
ad of the period they are found
> be free from disease, then it Is
ansidered safe to place them in
le herd.
While in quarantine, the animals 1
aould be watched closely for an]' c
race of disease. The period neces- r
ary to keep the animals under <
lose observation varies, Grinnells 1
ays, dependmg upon where the
iew animals came from, the typo i
f animal, and its physical condi- j
ion. <
Animals collected from different i
arms, assembled in public stock
'ards, and shipped long distances

tnd the other federal agricultural
ilans that have meant millions and :
nillions of dollars to this State.
Dean Schaub isn't thinking of runling

indoubtedly he would get a big: i

But animals which have been

iisease is present, Grinnells warns
n stressing the need for precauion
whenevei bringing new stock

A few inEected animals can

iVant Protection
For Small Farmers
The widei pread sentiment for
irotecting snail growers in the
:rop adjustment programs is sumned
up in lesolutions adopted re:ently
by the Orange County
Board of Agriculture.
A copy of the resolutions was
>ent to the Washington office of
;he AAA by W. A. Davis, secretary
Df the board, suggesting the following
policies for 1935, reports Don
Matheson, county agent of the
State College Extension Service.
That small, farmers living on their
own land and dependent upon Its
products foi support who have raised
tobacco within the past five
vears be given a tax free allotment
eiual to tbeir largest base year,
provided thj allotment does not exceed
three icres.
That no rental or parity payments
be given these farmers, and
that small growers who have already
signed contracts be allowed
to come unier the provisions of this
ruling.
That small cotton growers living
on their o^m land who have raised
cotton within the past seven years
be given a tax free allotment equal
to their largest base year, but not

Huch policies, the board pointed
out, would encourage farm and
home ownership by providing more
liberal allotments to tenants and
young fanners who wish to buy J
small farms. '
Tenancy and absentee ownership
would be discouraged, it was pointec.
out, and the price of farm land
would be stimulated, while farm
wealth would become more equita- 1
bly distributed. Country-minded J
people in the cities would be er.- ji
ccuraged to move back to farms.
Production would be on a more
economical basis and small farmers
who have diversified their farming
would not be penalized with unfairly
small allotments, it was brought |
