FARM NOTES FOR
HALIFAX COUNTY
By w. o. DAVIS, County Agent,
Weldon, N. c.

Red spider is doing great
deal of damage to cotton and
seems to be spreading rapidly
Notice your fields closely and
use control measures at the
first sign of spider damage. In
the first stage; that is where
Just few stalks are damaged
it is best to pull up these stalks
completely and burn them. Be
sure to pull up all infected stalks
and then.a few on the edges of
the damaged area. This meth
cd is no good unless done thor
oughly. Where the damage
covers a large area, about ten
to twenty foot circle, pull all
badly damaged stalks and burn,
and then spray all around the
damaged area a strip at least
ten feet wide with lime-sulphur
solution using 1 part lime-sul-
phur to 100 parts water. This
lime-sulphur is the same as is
used for winter spray on fruit
trees. If you have no lime-sul-
phur use nicotine sulphate
which can be bought from the
large seed houses. Some farm
ers are using a home made spray
of tobacco juice and soap. A
strong tea is made by boiling
scrap tobacco, using about a
peck of tobacco to 5 gallons of
water. and dissolving one pound
of soap in the solution. This
is used with three to four parts
of water applied with spray
pump to the under side of the
leaves. Be sure to use a spray
pump that will have enough
pressure to drive the spray and
be sure to use it so as to wet the
under side of the leaf as the in
sect works there and spray on
top the leaf will not reach him.
if an acre or more is affected
use remedies to prevent the
spider spreading to other fields.
Do this by pulling up or SPRAY
ing a strip ten or twelve feet
wide between the damaged cot
ton and the field to be protected.
1t is almost useless to attempt
to spray large area. "".t ,1
Roanoke Rapids herald., 1923-08-03

boring county of Warren forty
seventh in the total tax paid
per inhabitant cannot be ex-
planned on the premise that
Halifax is that much richer
than Warren, for she isn't. She
only lists her property nearer
| its actual value for taxation
purposes than does Warren. In
cidentally Warren is now vigor-
ously demanding a slice of the
state equalization fund to which
Halifax is, of course, q large
contributor.
The greatest part of the diff
ference in taxes paid per in
habitant is an inequity that
would be largely done away with
were all of the counties forced
| to list their property on the same
basis and levy the same rate. 1t
is an inequity that will persist
as long as local communities are
allowed to let their consciences
be their guides at tax listing
time 1t would be largely eli
minated if the state were allow
ed statewide control of tax list
ling.
No one objects to the principal
THAT the strong should help the
weaker counties in North Caro-
lima. Men everywhere are
waking up to the obligation OF
the state to give every citizen
an education. There are
grounds, however. and very
proper grounds for objection
to q system which puts
lpremium on dishonesty and a
fine on honesty, and these OBJ
liections shoud be voiced so
strenuously that the legislature
will do everything possible tow
ards its abolition. The great
seal of North Carolina will ther
| be less an anomaly.
Roanoke Rapids herald., 1923-08-03
WHERE HONESTY COSTS

In 1921 the average tax paid
per inhabitant for all state and
county purposes was $3.50, or
about forty dollars per family.
This was the total tax levied to
support the county and all coun-
Fty b activities, roads, schools,
county government, and the
state and all its manifold &C.
tivities. In Wilson county the
total tax paid per inhabitant
was $16.10. In addition to a
met work Of good roads Wilson
has the most progressive school
system In the state. The coun-
ty is now divided into twelve big
rural school districts, each
school a big consolidated school
based ON motor transportation
of children She operates about
Ten percent of all the school
trucks employed in the state.
Yes it costs q little more but it
is worth it. The average tax
paid per person in Allegheny
was only 1888. Allegheny
lists her property At a low value
and in addition had the lowest
taxi rate in the state, forty
one cents The other counties
81 the state range between these
two extremes. See the table car
ried in this issue. 4o r .-..1
= The stats has made remark
able progress along lines of tax
alton and tax equalization. We
have the best state tax system
ii tie South. Also d large num-
ber of counties in the state are
to be commended for their hon.
Roanoke Rapids herald., 1923-08-03
SCHOOL EQUALIZATION

The state has a school equali-
zation fund that is distributed
each year. A maximum school
tax law has been passed. If
with the rate the county has it
does not secure enough funds,
an appropriation is given out of
the state fund. How does it
work? Often a poor county
with scrupulous county COM
missioners will raise practically
enough from local taxes to sup
port the schools. Next door
will be a richer county with a low
rate of assessment values. II
will fall far short of the neces-
sary funds so the state makes
up the shortage. The honest
county pays for its honesty.
For instance, Davie, a poor
county, pays a large tax per
inhabitant and in 1923 she gets
only $4,993 from the state
equalization fund. Wilkes
pays a much smaller tax per in
habitant and her allotment is
$75,641. Some very rich coun-
ties come in for large allot-
ments, while some very poor
counties receive small sums. The
philosophy of <fAoicher coun-
ties aiding the p0sfer counties
is partially defeated because
there is no uniform percentage
Iof true value sought in listing
property and each county has
its own tax rate. The percent
of true valuation and the tax
rate should be more uniform in
the state. At present each
county has its own assessment
policy and it's own rate. Many
of them have strong liking
for the equalization funds.
