The taxes levied upon the property of the
city of New Orleans are 395 per cent, to
which, iflicenses and drainage tax were added.
the whole will make about 5.45 per 1T. on the
assessed value of property. 1t is well known
that property is assessed at from two to four
times it's marketable cash value, making the
taxation from ten to twenty per cent on the
true value. The relative enormity of this
terrible taxation cannot be appreciated with
out considering that it falls on q depleted com
munity, withoutsany manufactures, and but
few productive industries to enable the people
to pay it. In New York, for example, where
there is great complaint Hbont taxation, all
taxes Estate, County and City,) aggregate
only g. 80 per cent. on an assessment based on
60 per cent. of the cash value of property or
1.6s per cent on the real value This, com
psratively, insignificant tax, is levied on a
community in which commerce, trade and
manufactures are in q houriShing condition.
Unimproved property in the city of New
York lie assessed ct not more than one-third
of it's cash value. Yet in that community
they complain of this taxation as oppressive.

culture.

WASHINGTON, July l5.--'rhe July re-
turns to the Department Of Agricul-
turc are unusually full, showing All
improvement of the cotton crop dur
ing June in all of the cotton States eX-
cept Texas. The State averages are rs
follows: North Carolina %, an inn
provement of three per cent Georgia,
81, an improvement of six per cent ;
Florida l0l, an improvement Of seven
per cent; Alabama lO2, an improve.
nent of seven per cent Mississippi
1903, an mprovcment Of three per cent;
Louisiana 1876, an improvement Of ten
per cent; Texas 03, decline Of three
per cent Arkansas 1914, an improve
ment of fourteen per cent; Tennessee
100, an improvement Of ten per cent.
Some portions Of the cotton area
were afflicted with drouth which how
ever was less injurious to the cotton
than other crops. Its injuries were
mostly compensated by the opportuni-
ty II affords for better working of other
crops.
In Texas the cotton worms, catepil-
lars and grasshoppers were Injurious
in some localities. a few reports also
mention the cotton lice, but insect
depredations so far have not affected
the crop to any extent worth estima-
ting.
