Totals


The amount of tax which will be pos
slble to collect in the city applying the
limit of Is mills to the new valuation
will be $17S,444.20 or an increase Of
$13.901.S5 as a result of the board of
review.
The duplicate of 1909 for the city,
including only the land and buildings
shows a total of $4,720,510. APPLYING
the tax rate in the city last year to
this It Is found that II produced In
taxes the sum of $1S7.S76.29. Com
pairing these figures with the amount
whic hwill be collected under the new
valuation and the new tax limit Is
found that there Is a difference in
favor of the old duplicate of $9.4S2.09
SO that even though there has been
very radical increase in the valua-
tion of property, the whole amount of
taxes collected will not be as great
as under the old valuation and the old
rate.
The board of review has gone
about its work In very systematic
manner and has taken up each piece
of real estate in the city separately
and placed the value upon It, Lack of
time has made 1t impossible for the
board to take up the buildings in the
same manner, or 1t is possible that
a greater Increase In the valuation
would be shown. The board was able
only TO take up the cases where COM
plants were filed with 1t and to make
an adjustment Of the properties In
the business part Of the city.
The returns will now go to the
state tax commission for review, but
1t is hardly probable any increase will
be made by It, for the reason that
the members are convinced that a
fair valuation has been placed by the
board of review. A special represen-
tative of the board paid a visit to
the board of review some days ago
and after going over the system which
was being applied expressed him
self as greatly pleased with the way
the work was progressing.

The exact figures cannot be given
by the board of review, which has

readily appreciated that in the addi-

dollar or few hundred dollars but

for drunkenness, and unable to pay,
today decided to let them out on con-

The mayor declares that he intends

he has no authority in law for this
procedure and an interesting con-
test may develop when the mayor
puts his plan into execution.

Captain Bond was notified of the
girls leaving and upon inquiry found
that she had boarded the Hooking

the girl. Through a mistake the oper-

there, not knowing upon whose au-

fused to interfere with the girl.
The Fostoria police found the girl
on the train. She declared. however,
that her name was Elizabeth Dow,
saying that Sarah Brown. the girl
wanted, had taken a train for Chicago.
While the police knew that this was
a fabrication they allowed the girl to
go on to Toledo.
Captain Bond then prepared to in
tercept the girl at Toledo but In the
meantime her father decided that he
would let her go as she has been de-
termined to get away.
The girl has been residing with her

 The presiding judge, prosecuting attorney and other court officials ask for communication of the sen- tence. They believe that Mrs. Du- Loney, accused by Pullen, with com plicity in the crime. was fully as guilty as Pullen, and as the jury acquitted her of the charge. they believe the youth should not be hanged. Pullen has stated he would welcome hanging as it would wipe the crime from his conscience. Governor Donaghey, after two hours conference with the attorneys. stated he would give an answer be- fore the end of the week.

 BREEDER IS KILLED

Hot Springs, Aug. 3.--F. M. Bos- tick, a poultryman, well known all over the country, through the famous breeds of chickens he has distributed, was found in his barn here last night with his head blown off
 He had gone to the barn to shoot cats which had been killing his chick ems. The theory of the coroner's jury was that Bostick was leaning over some boxes to friehten the cats when his Winchester repeating shotgun was discharged. His head must have been within a few inches of the muzzle of the g.n, as the mans brains were scattered over the rcof of the barn.
 He was about thirty years old and was wide advertiser of his chicken breeds in all the poultry journals of the country.

STRINGENT HEALTH LAWS
Fort Smith Passes Ordinance Regard Ing Bakeries and Ice Cream
 Makers.

Fort Smith, Aug. 3.--The council last night passed ordinances reeulat- inp the manufacture and sale of ice cream and bread stuffs. Such manu- factories are placed under the jurisdic- ton of the board of health. Employees afflicted with consumption are not al- lowed to work in bakeries. Ice cream must contain certain amount of milk fat and when the per cent of fat is less than prescribed by the ordinance the dealer shall so specify by placing a card on the receptacle which con tains the cream. The measure is one of the most stringent ever passed in the state. it is said.
 Mayor Johnson was instructed to appoint a committee to visit Southern cities and inspect the character oi paving constructed at those places. Ordinances appropriatins $5.OOO for park purposes were defeated. The sum of S5. .0O0 was appropriated to widen Towson avenue and purchase property for that purpose.
 City Attorney Miles was instructed to appeal the decision of the chancers court that the police judge had the sole authority to fix and approve bonds made in appeal cases.

CULTIVATION STOPS TOO SOON
Farmers Are Inclined to Lay By Crops Before Have Got Best Gut of Them Necessity of a Cover
 Crop.

Just at the closing of the corn sea- son and in the midst of the cotton cultivation. one lesson should be in- pressed on every farmer and that is that as a rule we lay by our corn and cotton too soon. provided we are using shallow cultivation. Deep cultivation Is, of course, damaging. But the cot lon crop is greatly helped by a contin- uance of cultivation just as late as possible, and the best rule have ob- served is to continue until some of the b0lls begin to open. Sometimes a quarter of bale is added to the yield of an acre by this late cultivation. We are in too much of hurry to get through and lay by. The farmer likes to think that his job is done and Ma ture must do the rest. We are largely founding our reform in agriculture on deep and thorough preparation of the soil, better seed. and shallow. inten- sive cultivation, long continued.
 One of the most disastrous mistakes we have made in trying to farm our lands is limiting the product to one crop and sometimes thinking that when the land lies exposed for half year or more we are letting it rest. The truth is that land frequently loses more fertility by exposure during the period when it is idle than during the crop producing period Then too, in the Southern States, we should take advantage of all that nature gives us.
 The first progressive step to take is to keep the land doing something the year around. and we must commence in the cotton field and corn field. Last month sent out little letter show ing the value of planting cowpeas in the corn. This is of great importance. While it detracts nothing from the corn, it does give crop of great value for feeding the stock in the fall and then it leaves in the soil a large amount of vegetable matter to feed the crops of the next season. Two suggestlons come here.
 In the extreme South the corn Is harvested and the cowpeas can be fed in time to put in q winter cover crop which should always be done. if pos sible. But further North it may be little late to do this. and it is better in such cases to SOW between the corn at the last cultivation, crimson clover or rye or vetch. We generally use about three-fourths rye and one-fourth vetch. After the corn is harvested these crops will thrive nightly and in in the spring furnish a large amount of material to turn under and enrich the soil. or may be cut for hay. Numerous cases in Virginia and the Carolinas have been reported to us where the crimson clover yielded ovar two tons of hay to the acre and was cut in time to blow the land for the corn crop in the spring. Some farm CTS alternate and cut half the plot for hay and the other half they turn un- der to enrich the soil. alternating each year. Thus the amount of food secured for stock was nearly equal to the corn crop and made during the the period when most farmers allowed their land to run to weeds.
