WILL INCREASE THE RETURNS.
Earlier Date Named for Giving In
Taxes

The fact that February is made the
date this year for giving in property
for taxation, as announced yesterday,
carried considerable surprise, and not
few in Amerlcus, as elsewhere, are
thus "caught out with the goods on
hand. This means that all parties who
owned property ON February 1, this
year, will lave to pay taxes on it, no
matter whether they were in continu-
GUS ownership, or bought the day be-
fore or sold it the day after. The date
last year was March Is, or month and
half later than the date selected this
time. It is customary to get the dates
some distance apart from year to year,
! so that any evasion of the law on the
ground of the date may be prevented.
The date must always be fixed between
January and April l.

FRUIT MEN FEAR FROST NOW
Trees Are Abloom And There MAY
Be Danger.


Unless killing frost comes to this
section within the next thirty days,
this part of the state will have an album
dance of fruit. The outlook is promls-
ing. Already, over the southern two
thirds of the state. peach and plum
trees are in full bloom. The average
date for the last killing frost during
the past thirty-two Gears is March 18th.
In twenty-six ont of thirty-two years,
the killing frost has come from one to
ten days after the average date, March
18th. If the month of March can be
bridged over safely, the chances are for
a profusion of the choicest fruits. The
average for good fruit crop is about
one in every four years.
