BANKS CAN BE HELD LIABLE
Attorney General Says that the State
Can Collect inheritance Tax

Gdn OO14SCG 11l1I0I1GdIlCS i DIX
Banks holding funds subject to the
state Inheritance tax and turning over
the money before the tax has been paid,
can be held liable by the state for the
amount due, declared the attorney gen
eral in an address to the State Bar
association at Milwaukee in which he
discussed the inheritance tax The at
torney holds that the money Of persons
dying outside the state, deposited in
Wisconsin banks, must pay an inheri
tance tax and he contends that the
banks are responsible if they turn the
money over to the heirs and the state
fails to get the tax. The opinion is one
of wide interest to banks of the state
and if an attempt is made to enforce
it some interesting litigation may re
suit.

ABOUT IMPORTED CORN.

Among the many valuable facts
which have been learned as a result Of
corn growing experiments which have
been conducted by experiment sta
lions in various parts of the country
one of great Importance is that i'm
ported seed, no matter of how good a
variety or how favorable the condi-
lions under which it has been matur-
ed, will not produce so large or so well
matured a crop as seed from ears
which have grown in the immediate
locality. Different conditions Of soil
and to some extent of climate seem to
place the imported seed at a disad-
vantage, a handicap which 1T does not
overcome short of several years Of &C
climatization. During these years 1t
seems to get adjusted to its environ
ment and is in shape to produce the
maximum crop of which it is capable.
For the reasons above cited 1t is al
WAYS advisable for the farmer to Sc
cure his seed just as near home as
possible, from his own field or from
that of a near neighbOr. The disad-
vantage one is under in sending to a
distant house for his seed, in addition
to that mentioned above, is that the
seed is likely to be of larger variety
of corn than will mature well in the
locality, in which case an early frost
would mean the ruin Of the whole
crop.

MAKE EN- SCRATCH.

A method that is followed by many
In the feeding of incubator chicks dur
ing the first few weeks is to scatter a
layer of short cut straw in their feed
ing place, next several handfuls of pre-
pared dry chick food, then a layer of
straw, then moro chick food, and so on
until there is pile of seven or eight
inches deep. AS soon as the little fell
lows get tc stirring around they are
given access to this food supply and,
following out an Unborn instinct, at
once begin to scratch. The grain forms
a complete cation, while the exercise
they get in digging it out makes them
strong and vigorous. The only feeding
care required beyond this is the supply
ing of water and skimmilk if the lat
ter is available

The verdict of those who have made
a close study of the habits Of the COM
mon ground mole is that the damage it
does in ridging up the soil in garden or
destruction of the common white grub,
which constitutes its chief article of
food. It is the mice which sometimes
follow in the burrow of the mole which
do damage to the roots of plants and
shrubs.

Luxuriance of growth in the common
garden flowers may be to some extent
influenced by the vigor and thriftiness
of the parent stock, but is quite likely
to be more largely determined by the
richness of the soil in which the seed
is sown or the plants are set. A rich
soil, coupled with abundant moisture
and that degree of sunshine or shade
which the particular variety seems to
demand, will produce the desired re-
suits

COLD STORAGE EXPERIMENT.

COLD STORAGE EXPERIMENT.
In COMPANY with a number Of north
Iowa hOrticulturists the writer recently
went to Mason City to witness the final
inspection Of some twenty-five different
varieties of fall and winter apples
which have been carried through the
winter IN joint cold storage expert
mont which has been conducted by the
United States department of ugricul-
ture in cooperation with the hOrticul-
tural department of the State AgricuI-
tural college at Ames. The apples in
question had been kept in refrigeration
at temperature of about 30 degrees
(. since the time of their storage last
September and October, some Of the
fruit being put in storage Immediately
upon picking, some week after pick
ing and the remainder three weeks aft
er it had been taken from the trees
The results of the experiment were
summarized briefly by Mr.. L. S. Ten
ney, specialist in charge of the pomO-
logical experiments carried on in con-
nectiOn with the governments hOrti-
cultural extension work. Among the
valuable points noted in the results OF
the experiment were the following:
First, it was noticeable that that
fruit kept best which was put into
storage as soon as possible after pick
ing and which was likewise handled
with most care from the tree to the
package in which it was stored. Again,
it was observed to be true with all
varieties, and especially with the ten
der Wealthy and Jonathan, that those
apples were in the best condition of
preservation at the end of the expert
ment which were not picked until they
were fully ripe Underripe fruit Of
these varieties showed much shrivel-
ing during the period of storage.
Where apples were wrapped separate
ly in pieces of paper they kept much
better than when put together loose
in the box Wealthies, which are but
a fall variety, came through in splen-
did shape when handled in this man
ner and were in excellent market con-
ditiOn. The Colorado Orange, Delayan
and Northwestern Greening showed
badly during the period of storage and
was not in a marketable condition. In
emphasizing the necessity Of more
careful handling of fruit intended for
shipping or storage Mr.. Tenney, who
had Just come from a six weeks tour
of inspection through the orange dis
tricts of California, stated that ex-
periments which had just been con-
Guided by the government seemed to
show that virtually all of the loss
which has been sustained for years
past as a result Of the spelling of lem
ons and oranges in transit, amounting
in some seasons to So, 900, has been
due to a bruising of the fruit as a re-
suit of careless handling, and he
stated that what was said with refer
ence to the citrus fruits was equally
true of apples.
