Now is Ideal I. Time to Gull
the Poultry Flock

Nov is the ideal time for culling
the poultry fiOck." says Mrs. Kate n.
Wells. poultry specialist, Division Of
Extension.
Culling as applied to poultry, means
the finding and getting rid Of hens
which are not returning a profit to the
owner. II followed up systematically
1t will surely increase the production
and decrease the feed bills.
Eliminating the Stacker hens not
only makes conditions better for the
remainder of the flock, but also insures
breeding up the flock from the better
producers.
Sick and undesirable birds may be
gotten rid of at any season but the
early fall is the ideal time for the main
combing out operation. Then the poor
er producers quit laying and begin q

ports that poultry culing campaignis

AT the meeting of the Davidson Coun>

women volunteered TO help Gull the
poultry farms in Davidson County.
During the campaign they are especially
urging one woman in every community
to be the poultry culling expert for her
community. After culiing demon
stration at Mrs. G. G. Hunters home
q report came in from Mrs. Dickenson
who was at the meeting stating that
the demonstration had been worth
$1,000 to her, for she had sold that
many hens and not lessened her egg
production at all, thereby being able to
feed the ones she had the surplus food
for better results.

The 1920 Taxes

: The report Of j. T. Jordan published
in The Falcon in August 1920 for re-
ceipts and disbursements Of his office
as County Trustee for the fiscal year
ending July 1920 shows that he paid
the State Comptroller for state taxes
for 1919 S23. .686.34. Tie compilation
of Taxes furnished The Falcon lsst
November thru the courtesy Of County
Court Clerk C. W. Crawford for the
1920 taxes shows the state tax for Fay.
ette county in 1924 was $44, Sl2 25,
thanks 20 the Roberts tax Jaw, an in-
crease of almost 100 per cent in one
year.
figures just given out by the State
Board In Nashville show that Fayette' 8
assessments for 1921 of real and per.
sonal property in the county. outside
of the public utilities, is $l1. .6Sl, ,285,
state tax rate is raised this year from
rs cents on the 500 to 35 cents on the
slO0 The utilities pay their state tax
direct to the Comptroller and it does
not pass thru the Trustees hands. The
figures above will show that Fayette's g
1921 state tax will be $40, 8S4.50. re-
duction from last years figures OF
about SO 500 This reduction ID due to
the reduction made by County y Assessor
s. P. Crawford and the County Board
of Equalization, making the valuations
this year $ll, ,6Sl, 1886. instead of the
SIT. .043, ,175, the 1920 Valuations.
When the County Court in July
fixed the county rate at 80 cents on
the 800, it was figured that the state
rate would probably be net far from
last years figure. but the rate finally
fixed by The state is 35 cents instead Of
rs cents where it was last year. This
35 cents added to the 80 cents fixed by
the county gives total county and
state rate In Fsyette county for 1921 of
$l.25 on each 500. Last year the
total rate was Is cents on each Sl00.
With the new valuation for this year
snd the 81 rs cent rate the total tax of
the county from real and personal
property will be in round numbers
STAG. 900 against last years figures Of
sl33,000, an increase of $4,000. and
with the $4,000 reduction in money
going to the state, it makes an increase
this year Of more than sl6.0 in the
county revenue over last year sreveune.
The total rate is rapidly climbing
each year toward more than 81 on

law increased assessments 20 much
making the total taxes not far from

 Bishop Cannon, one of the speakers of the afternoon, who will also preside at the mass meeting, is chairman of the Christian education commission of the Methodist Episcopal church, south. In speaking of Birmingham as it is related to this great movement of the church, Bishop Cannon observed:
 T believe Birmingham is one of the great centers of the country especially of the south. It should become as strong as any Methodist center in the United States.
 And I am delighted to find that Meth odists have recognized that if Brmtng- ham is to become an influential religious center it must also become an educa- tional center.
 If Alabama Methodsn wishes to be strong and efficient" Bishop Cannon em-' phasized, it must put men and money, without quibbling as to cost in making in this sity."
