FILL UP LAKE JUNALUSKA
Junaluska fill that basin.
Let's have it full of water,
There's bein too much cain a raisin,
And another thing, we oughter.
Last fall you ran the water out,
And all the fish went dead;
But now you've dried the bottom out,
Up To it's very head.
Let's hope that you will fill it up,
And make it very snappy,
The looks of it gets our dander up,
Ai.d makes us quite unhappy.
We miss the fine and lovely view.
Which from the road we'd take.
The verdue green and skies so blue,
Reflecting in the lake.
The scene is now one full of gloom,
And lack of beauty too,
It makes us blush, for we can but think
Of the girl in Kalamazoo.
The lake was once so clear and blue,
But now a dull light brown,
She does so need a yes she do,
So say the folks up town.
You leave it there 'till summer time,
And you will spoil the fun,
Of many line young boys and girls,
W ho round the lake do run.
So turn the water in, they shout.
And don't be long about it.
Old Sol is warmim; up the trout,
And bathing we just can't do without it.

Give Orchard Trees
Needed Spring Tonic
One pound of quickly available ni
trogen fertilizer applied to peach
trees right now will help them to set
a better crop of fruit, will decrease
the June crop and will helu the trees
fn nmilni'ii a Viiirhr nn.'iiitv nf fruit.
"Reeausp tif the larir rron nf fruit
set last season and the exceptionally
drv season in the late summer of
UKU, fruit buds are fewer and
weaker this spring and the trees are
lower m vitality than usual." says
C. F. Williams, associate horticultur
ist at State College. "For this rea
son the application of at least one
pound ot nitrate oi soda or us
equivalent in quick acting nitroL'ii
seems especially important this year.
If such an application has not been
made, it should be given at once. If
there is no cover crop on the land,
it would be wise also to work the
fertilizer into the soil so as to bo
made available immediately. The
remainder of the annual application
might bf put on later in the sea
son." Another good way to help in the
set of fruit is to maintain the soil
moisture. This is best done by turn
ing under the cover crop early and
by clean cultivation during the re
mainder of the season. Vetch and
Austrian winter peas may be left
until time to get the land in shape
for picking up the drops in June, but
rye should be turned at least two or
three weeks earlier.
Keeping up the moisture supply i
lht uiil will hpln to decrease the June
drop and produce quality fruit later.

Tmnortant Figures
On Farm Land lax
(S. H. llobbs, Jr., in University N.
C. News Letter.)
There arc. several interesting: and
important conclusions to bo drawn
from the facts reported in this study,
and from other known facts.
1, The per acre tax on favm prop
erty in North Carolina is sixty cents,
against the national average of eighty-six
cents.
2. The true tax rate on iarms
operated by full owners Owning no
other farm land in North Carolina
in 1929 was $1.23 on the hundred
dollars. The National average was
$l.;iO. The reduction in North Caro
lina has been thirty-three cents on
assessed value.
3. The true tax rate on all full
owners, including forms operated by
landlords in North Carolina, was
$1.36 in 1929. The National average
was $1.27. Again our reduction has
been 33 cents on assessed value.
4. The farm tax rates in western
North Carolina are not much more
than halt" the rates in eastern North
Carolina, upon an average,
5. The rates on farm property in
counties with high rates of tenancy
are much higher than in counties
with high ratios ot larm owncis.
6. Tax rates on tarm property m
landlord-tenant conrmunitits in a
particular county are higher than
the rates in the same county where
the farms are operated ty owners
having no tenants. It appears
in almost everv case full owners with
additional land which they lease to
tenants pav higher rates than full
owners with no other land. In coun
ties with few tenants the rates vary
little. - ' :. v ,. : ;
7. Property in North t aroima. in.
lei paid a smaller part i the total
cost of government than in all the
other states except lour. inu. uuu
of all taxes paid by property in
North Carolina today is lower than
in any other state. Delaware possibly
excepted. Governor Gardnei maxes
the same claim in his rscent excel
lent article in the Saturday Evening
Post This statement is also voucliod
for bv the Secretary of No-lh Caro
lina Tax Commission. The actual
reduction -afforded, property as a re
cult of the 1931 road and school ac.s
will be around ten millim dollai b.
S In 1921 general properly paiu
83 per cent of all state and local taxes
in North Carolina. This year gen
eral property Will pay about o per
cent, mainly as a result of. the. school
and road legislation of 1931. I rop
ertv in North Carolina has been ai
forded more relief than in any other
state in the Union. In no other
state are all roads maintained wim
no property tax whatsoever. In no
other state is a six-months school
term maintained with a property tax
rate as low as fifteen cents. The
total levy on property foi -the six
months school term is about four
and a half million dollars. The cost
wand 16 million dollars.
9 Almost exactly one-half the total
. V w,t in North Carolina
lew on uivpt.. ... - -
today is for local debt service charges, !
in well-being. Tlie levy, on property
for current governmental expenses is
beyond all question the lowest in the
l:niioil St:ites.
10. North Carolina is a rural and
small-town, state. Property, therefore,
is thn most iH'l'vasive form of wealth.
Yet property pays a smaller per cent
of the total cost ol government man
any other state. .
11 One st :it o e-overnent is support-
cil. cntiri'lv without a nronertv tax.
It contributes more than three dollars
i .out of the general fund for the six-
months term for every dollar raised
by the fifteen cents school ta. Our
state tax rates on incomes, franchises,
business and licenses are in each case
among the highest in the United
State.. Our sate government is
uiiniinvteil hv :i smaller Der cent of
' the total population than in any oth
! or state-.
1 '1. As a general proposition the
only -property tax probleiii in Nortlr
Carolina is the lack of income from
projK'rly out of which to pay prop
erty taxes. For instance, till" decline
in the value af farm crops in North
Carolina during the- last four years
has been sixteen times greater than
the amount of taxes paid by farmers.
Under ordinary conditions farmers
could readily pay the present assess
ments on property. The present av
i.fiiiri. nronertv tax rate is low com-
i pared with the rate in -'other, states.
Rates' on every other source oi rev
enue are high compared with all the
other states. This does not mean that
there are not many counties, towns,
and districts in North Carolina
where property tax rates are very
high and where relief is, sadly needed.
This is especially true in eastern
Carolina.
The above are the facts, the irre
futable facts, about farm real estate
taxes, property taxs in general, and
rates on other forms of wealth and
income in North Carolina. They are
taken from the public record and are
available to everyone who ci-res to
look them up. We present ; them,
without prejudice or bias, for what
tbev are worth.
