Can't Increase
Land Tax Because
Of Identification
1889 Machinery Act FOrbids
Such Increase. Offers
Much Encouragement.

RALEIGH, Sept. 19-Farmers
and landowners who beautlty
their farms and homes, paint
their buildings, terrace their
lands, protect their forest tracts
against fire or who plant vacant
land to forest trees, need have no
fear that their valuations and
hence their taxes will be increas-
ed, since any such increase is ex-
pressly forbidden by the 1889
Machinery Act, it was pointed
out today by State Forester ]. S.
Holmes of the Department of
Conservation and Development.
This provision protecting land
owners from an increase in the
tax valuations of their lands is
tucked away in Section 500 of
the Machinery Act as follows:
1T is hereby declared to be the
policy of this state so to use it's
system of real estate taxation so
as to encourage the cOnSerVa-
ton of natural resources and the
Identification of homes and road
sides, and all tax accessories are
hereby instructed to make no in
crease in the tax valuation of
real estate as result Of the own
er's enterprise in adopting any
one or more of the following pro-
gressive policies:
II. Planting and care of lawns,
shade trees, shrubs and flowers
for non-commercial purposes.
20. Repainting buildings.
80. Terracing or other methods
of soil conservation, to the extent
that they preserve values already
existing.
fire.
IS. Planting OF forest trees on
vacant land for referestation pur-
poses, for ten years after such
planting"
State Forester fio;mes consid-
ers the first clause of this Sec
ton unique. He attributes it's
adoption to the work of Classi-
fication Amendment Commission,
which has been working for more
than two years on suggested tax
law charges.

MORE HOME PRODUCE
SEEN AS NECESSARY

The need for greater number
of home gardens and orchards to
make North Carolina farm fami-
lies more self-sufficient and to
supplement their income is a ma
jor problem, says L. P. Watson,
extension horticulturist at State
College.
In addition, Watson said, there
is need for better cultural, stor-
age, and marketing methods to
take advantage of the favorable
climate this State offers the hor-
ticultural industry.
In dealing with this problem.
the Extension Service is working
daily with growers to show them
better cultivation, fertiliz2t ton,
harvesting, and marketing prac-
tees. Results of this work are
becoming more apparent with
each passing year, Watson said.

isaiah: FOretelling the Messiah.
Lessons for September 24:-Is-
aiah 9: IL.
Golden Text: Isaiah Sc.
Isaiah lived in troublous times.
The northern kingdom of Israel
fell in 722 B. c. Down in Judah,
where lived Isaiah, that fall was
considered bad omen. The peo-
pie of Judah felt that their turn
was coming, that the Assyrians
who had smashed their way
through Israel would not tarry
long before crushing them like
wise.
But there was also trouble
within Judah itself. Uzziah, the
strong, successful monarch, was
dead. Ahaz, who succeeded him,
was extravagant and cruel.
Such conditions, the menace of
attack from without, and the dan
ger of corruption from within,
were certainly enough to test the
mettle of our young prophet. 1t
was not easy to preach the doc
trine of a righteous God, the "Ho-
ly One of Israel" as Isiah loved
to call Him, under the prevail
ing conditions. 1t was not easy to
oppose, as Isaiah did, the ruling
classes.

Educational Defense
Against Alien '|sms'
Urged byD.AR. Head
Americunism Teuchina
For Youth Stressed
By Mrs. Robert

Strengthening Of the Nations ed
ucational defense was stressed by
Mrs. Henry M. Robert, jr., president
general Of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution, in her New
Year message TO-DAY.
In line with building up It's ma
tional defense, she declared, Amer
lea should teach the youth OF the
Nation the real meaning OF Amer
tcanism./
!, Granting that the depression, fall
ures and disappointments since the
World War have tempted many to
believe life is easier under other
forms Of government, she declared
that the educational defense should
emphasize that fact that here there
are more comforts than in any other
nation Of earun.
Un-American agitators, she as
serted, never attempt to answer the
argument that the American way of
life has provided the worlds highest
standard of living.
"The necessity for reaching chill
dren and youth with the real mean
ing of Amerlcanlsm and with con-
crete reasons why life in this Nation,
even with all of its imperfections,
is more satisfying than elsewhere Is
immediate" she said.
She pointed out that so far only
the adult population has been con-
sidered In regard to educational
defense. Asserting that children
can be interested in groups desig-
mated to promote Americanism, she
