The shortage of cold storage space hits the small grower real ly harder than the big one in most cases, for the latter was more apt to have made an advance contract and reserved space. The average cold storage man, and some of them are really below average, don't care much for the business of the little grower, preferring to handle only car lots. And so when the apple de- mand is light, and the small grower cannot load in ear lots or store in car lots. he is up against hard proposition.

A shortage of barrels has been bothering the apple men of this section the past week.. For a num- Der of years so many apples had been going out in bulk that the apple barrel business has been a very light one and only a compara- lively small amount of barrel ma terial has been kept in stock. Then, too, the box business helped keep down the demand for barrels. This year with the demand for bulk stock curtailed and the boxes going out of style there has been such a de mand for barrels that it caught the local people short and they have

PROTEST AGAINST COUNTY TAX

To the Editor Of The Times Dispatch
Sir.-Will you be kind enough to pub
lish the inclosed order of the court in
the matter OF fixing the county levy by
the Board OF Supervisors Of this county
upon the appeal taken by the five free
holders OF the county herein inclosed?
Under the new law the State.rcleas ed
to the people % cents OF the State tax
rate upon all tangible property, real
and personal. leaving only 10 cents
State tax thereon. This class of prop
erty constitutes the bulk of the prop
erty upon which our country people
pay taxes. AT the same time the State
places tax OF So cents on the 500 on
intangible property, giving the county
and cities the right to add 80 cents on
tina 800 for local purposes.
The board at their meeting in April
saw Mt to increase the county levy 25
cents on the 500, thus appropriating
for county purposes the entire amount
deducted by the State.
Under Il resolution passed by the last
Legislature. criticizing the State Cor
poration Commissions method Of tax
ing the tangible property OF railroads
in the State, 1t is believed that the
commi ssion, If it is at all responsive
to public sentiment, will largely in
crease the valuation of the railroads
passing through the county for the
present year. In addition to this tho
new assessment will likely increase
the values of property in the county,
which is made this year. thus increas-
ing our taxable values. both of tho
railroad property and that owned by
private individuals. In addition to
this we have our local boards of re-
view. whose duty it is to review and
correct assessments made by the as
SCISSORS and valuation of personal prop
erty made by the commissioners OF the
revenue, and this will have n tend
ency to increase values. To illustrate.
IL my property Is assessed higher than
my neighbor, and I know his property
Is as valuable as mine. 1t is huma n
nature to call the matter to the at
tention of this board
In addition to these considerations,
there is pending in the Supreme Court
OF the State suit TO test the consti-
tutionality of the rolling stock bill, and
If this Is decided in favor Of the coun-
ties, as IL confidently expected, we will
get the rolling stock tax for the year
1914, and 1t would seem to be wise to
let our county levy stand until 1916,
when all these matters will be settled
and the board can ascertain the exact
taxable values of the county. and levy
q tax TO meet It's necessary expenses.
It is hard to get a tax repealed when
once 1t is levied. because the demands
for public money are practically bound
less. II the tax Is once raised we may
