PAUL CASE, Dept C-628 Brockton, Matt. WHY TAX TIMBER ASKS ONE FARMER Raleigh, N. C., "Why preach the preservation of. the farm forests and the proper handling of the timber crop to secure continued cuttings through the years and then permit forested lands', to be taxed at such a rate that no man can af ford ' to keep land in timber?" asks one farmer in a recent letter to R. W. Graebcr, extension forester af State- College. Mr. Graebcr states that such ques tions as these are being fired at him from every corner of the State. Own ers of timber land consider, the pres ent 'taxes exorbitant and that no man can afford to keep his land in timber if they are to be continued. The owners have ho quarrel with the conservation idea. They believe ii' it, but they tell Mr. Gracber that the Government, either local' or State, should share in "the burden of pre serving the , forests. When timber, i:. on the land, there is no large an nual income from it and-, so not every farmer can afford to keep his land in timber. Mr. Gracber states that growing timber is not a taxable asset. No provision is made for. taxing any other growing crap. In 1 fact, no crop is taxed until it reaches the commercial form such as corn in the crib or cotton in the bale. ' "Timber is a crop, the same as cotton or corn, says Mr. Graebcr. "It takes from 40 to 50 years ' to grow a merchantable crop of trees and because the growing timber 'is taxed each year during this time, thousands of farmers are forced to harvest the crop prematurely. The sentiment among farmers is that they would be willing to pay a per centage of the harvest as a tax and thus be relicved.of the annual burden when no income comes from the land. Such a system would encourage the 'growing of timber' on thousands of acres and stop the present sys tem of destroying the trees anr' denuding hundreds of thousands of acres." TAR HEEL FARMERS ARE FEEDING HOGS Raleigh, N. C Certain farms over North Carolina are becoming vast feed lots for the production of fat hogs for ' market. VV. V. Hays, field worker for the office of swine extension at State College, has been in 14 counties re cently aiding the farm agents and their co-operating " farmers in weigh ing their hogs and getting the ani mals started on feed. His observa tions are to the effect that more hogs will be fed in North Carolina this year than ever before. Starting with Beaufort county, Mr. Hays states that 600 hogs arc on feed and the farm agent, E. P. Welch,, wishes he had started with the idea of shipping a solid trainload in April. Bertie is covered with self-feeders and the farmers have from four pigs to four carloads on feeding demon strations. ... Griffin Brothers in this county are using four self-feeders with 80 animals on a two-acre rye lot. 1 Carteret county has been shipping about one, car each season but this year five cars are on (feed fattening for market. About two' trainloads will be shipped from Cr,aven county. Ca tawba county has gone in for ten litters and Chowan rnnntv will vtiin about seven cars. C. A. Sheffield, bt Davidson county- has been buying, corn and feeder pigs in 6astcrri Caro lina for the farmers of "Davidson county. Iredell has many pigs on feed and one of the best local mark ets in the State. Jones has 12 cars on feed now and expects',to ship a. solid trainload later.
