These in- ducements should take two forms— (1) the removal of discouragements to planting; and (2) the offer of sub- stantial encouragements. Some Discouragements The chief discouragement to i)lant- ing is due to the burden of imperial and local taxation These two com- bined always amount to a very large proportion of the annual value of the land.
