So often people ask me: "What shall I give the ued Cross? How shall I figure it?" I want to answer that question once lor all. I believe I can tell each of y i exactly how much to give, or i ather the exact way to figure it. This is my answer: You take your subscription card and your pencil in yrur hand, shut your eyes, and silently say to God: "O God, I thank you for all that you '.lave done for me. I thank you, that of all human beings you have select ed me upon whom to bestow the best mother that ever lived, the noblest 'ather. I thank you for my wife, my hiloren, my sisters, my brothers, my 'riends. 1 thank you for my books id for my pleasure, for my dreams in.-l aspirations, my health, my treiuvth. yea, for the abundant joys it' my life. Sometimes, unthinkingly, . grumble, but in sane reflection I now 'now blessed and how fortunate I am." And then open your eyes again, md with love and mercy, mercy and ive tugging at your heart, you write your subscription upon the card. And f HAT, you may be sure, will be the -ight amount to give!

Farm Bureau Members Oppose Increased Tobacco Tax In 1950 Madison County farmers produced over three thousand acres of uuiley tobacco valued at approximate ly three and a quarter million dol lars. P'irley tobacco, of course, means more to Madison County farm ers in dollars and cents than any other agricultural enterprise. Any thing that affects the demand for tobacco affects the farmer. If the demand declines, with current pro duction control, the farmer's allot ment declines, and of course that means fewer dollars for the tobacco r dyVer-l farmer. Therefore, tiiie; farmer oolong omers, is , viuuiy ;ceac tfeit tresteVtocknfcfatHhs affect the dematd for toba as an additional tax on already jc taxed toDacco products. ' f - Recently Farm Bureau delegations irom all the leading tobacco produc ing states appeared before the House Ways and Means Committee in Washington, D. C, in opposition to the proposed increased tobacco tax. Osborne Briggs of Yancey County, I A. F. Weaver of Madison County, I William Osborne of Haywood County j and Charlie Clay of Watauga County , represented the North Carolina to ineco producing counties. Mr. George i Farthing, Farm Bureau Field Rep resentative, accompanied the delega tion. A package of cigarettes, for in stance, is already taxed $0.07 by the Federal Government. If the proposed !.a is approved, the tax will be $0.10 per package. Ada state taxes levied by 11 of the 48 states and the mu nicipal taxes, levjed in some instances, to this federal tax and one has quite a burdensome tax. This additional tax, if approved, would certainly have i tendency to curtail consumption. It was the endeavor of all the to bacco delegates to convince the House Ways and Means Committee and their representatives, if unconvinced, that it was unfair and unwise to permit an increased tobacco tax. From all indications it appears that they were successful. TOBACCO PLANTS CAN BE DESTROYED BY FLEA BEETLES By HARRY G. SILVER Each year we hear farmers say, "Yesterday this was a good bed of plants, but now there are no plants in it." What happened to the plants so fast? Could their rapid disappear ance have been prevented? Many diseases and insects live on tobacco plants, cold freezing weather kills some tobacco plants, and dry weather kills others. One of the worse and frequently not recognized pests we have on tobacco plants is the flea beetle. For a few hours after a tobacco plant comes through the soil it receives no form of nourish ment from anything other than the tiny seed from which it sprouted. At this stage a bite from a flea beetle, small though it may be, is fatal to the tobacco plant. How many of the tiny tobacco plants make a meal for fno hungry flea beetle I do not know, but I am sure he can devour enough to warrant his murder by the farmer whoso crop he may be destroying.
