THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1938 STILL AN ISSUE Governor Hoey asserted this week that North Carolina “could easily repeal the sales tax and lessen other taxes” if it did “no more in the way of governmental service for the people” than states with out a sales tax. Pointing out the reason why the state has to have certain taxes “while other states have been able to repeal them,” Hoey said. “Take just the one matter of public school system; the most contributed by our sister states in this territory to the public school system is between $7,000,- 000 and $8,000,000 per year, whereas North Carolina spends $25,000,000 per year on her pub lic school system. The difference on this one item alone explains ■why North Carolina has to re tain the sales tax to perform the service which the people of the state demand with reference to the public schools.” As long as North Carolina has a sales tax it will be an issue in the legislature. Our leaders who /go there each year admit that they do not see how they can do it and let the state’s benefits con tinue. No one likes this tax. Mer chants hate it and consumers de test it, however, even with all ■the criticism there seems to be no . relief in sight. Merchants in this county and in other counties near the Vir-' j£nia line have reasons to be opposed to the tax more than those who are not so near the 1 line. It works a real hardship on merchants here. . We all agree that it should be j done away with sooner or later. The big question is “HOW”? GEORGE KANE RETIRES - At a meeting of the Person County Scout Committee Tues day night George Kane retired as the active chairman of scout • ■work in this county. For about' *even years he has held this po sition and during this time he '-.seen scouting make wonder /progress in this county. When ,Ane took charge of scouting the organization was a very weak ione and needed a guiding hand /about as much as any organiza / lion could need a leader. Kane supplied everything thafc the scouts needed to make them go forward. He called other men in Roxboro and Person County to his support and they respond ed just as soon as they received his call. Together they worked for % scouting and together they ac complished much. He regretted the fact that he had to retire as active chairman, but he plainly stated that he ex pected to continue his work with those who are interested in scouting and that he was going to do all that he could to help the great work. 'Hus scout leader is now hon orary chairman of the Person County Sdout Organization and as such he will continue to lend his active support and influence. Uhls will mean much. O. B Mcßroom was elevated to HU the position left vacant by Kane’s resignation. Mcßroom has feaen in the scout organization for a .of yean and has ser ved m ffliasnrw at die party. He -In worked hard and knows what has kssi dwt and what needs te he done.

How much tobacco will be planted no one knows. We have an idea that there will be an in crease over last year and we also believe that the price will be lower if there is much of an in crease. The tobacco farmers now face a very serious issue probably more serious than they think. . a Progress Made In Fertilizer Potash Research Considerable progress has been made in recent years in giving the farmer fertilizers which bet ter suit his soil and cropping con ditions and meet the exacting re quirements of his various crops. The experiment stations, fertili zer people and farmers have all co-operated in bringing this a bout. For a long time practically all of our fertilizers were add form ing but now, with _ changing conditions, most fertilizers- are made neutral through the addi tion of limestone to correct acid ity. Our soils were becoming too acid. Formerly scientists studied fer tilizer which they considered best suited to a particular crop, and then added various plant foods to see if this fertilizer could be improved upon. Today, they are studying plant food defici ency symptoms in the laboratory and at the experiment station. With these plant food deficiency symptoms as a measuring rod they find that they can better cope with the varying conditions on the farm. Differences in soils, cropping conditions and previous methods -of fertilization play a big part in selecting the fertilizer best suit ed for a particular crop. One of the outstanding chan ges in fertilizer practices is the increased use of potash for all Prompt! Safe! Sure!

With bright tobacco, for instance, where fertilizers for merly carried 3 to 6% potash, the tobacco committee of south ern agronomists recommends 18 percent potash as a maximum ap plication. There should be 6 to 8 percent potash in the fertilizer under the crop and the remain der should be aplied as a top dressing within 18 days after the crop is set. Rust takes a considerable toll from the cotton crop every year, resulting in decreased yields and inferior staple. The scientists have shown that cotton rust is simply potash hunger. For cot ton farmers are selecting ferti lizers carrying from 8 to 10% potash to go under the crop and then add sufficient potash as a top-dressing to correct the rust condition. The burning of com blades at the tips and along the margins, and the yellowing and dropping of leaves on legumes, are other very definite signs' of potash hunger. For instance, farmers find that legumious hay crops are much better where small grains received a top-dressing carrying 50 to 100 pounds of muriate of potash per acre. The small grains not only weigh more per bushel but are also brighter and the grains more plump. Fruit and truck crops also show a marked response to fertilizer mixtures carrying high amounts of potash. In addition to increased Palace Theatre New RCA High .
