.PENROSE WILL LEAD
FIGHT AGAINST SUGAR
He Does Not Believe Senate
viii Pass House
Bill

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Senator Pen
rose, Of Pennsylvania, who as Repub-
lican leader of the senate and chairman
of the finance committee, viii lead the
fight against the house free sugar bill,
has outlined his position as follows:
II was not at all enthusiastic for the
corporation tax provision in the Payne
tariff bill. We should not take up any
sources of revenue that belong to the
states. The states must get revenue from
somewhere and it is not right for the ma
tional government to go into their source
of supply when the government has am
pie opportunities in other directions. The
federal government ought to be run on
indirect taxes and customs duties, with
the exception of the long established in
ternal revenue taxes.
The time will come when the Ameri-
can people will wake up to this and re-
fuse to permit the federal government
to interfere with subjects of taxation
which properly belong to the states"
Senator Cullen, of Illinois, also mem
Der of the finance committee, and head of
the foreign relations committee, said he
favored an income tax in principle. but
did not know that the time was ripe
for it. He doubted ir the free sugar
plan would get serious consideration in
the senate until the tariff board recon-
mended on the subject

Hoke Smith and Bacon
Both for Free Sugar

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 2.-Sen-
ators Bacon and Hoke Smith will warm
ly support the free sugar bill which has
been agreed upon by the Democratic
caucus. They will also champion the
excise tax measure which has been adop-
ted by the Democrats as a means for
making up the loss in revenue occa-
stoned by placing sugar on the free list
1.-THE Democrats are in control of the
house. and it will be my policy in the
senate to follow the houses lead with
reference to the tariff and revenue meas
ure," said Senator Bacon today.
Senator Smith repeated his sympathy
with the fight in the house for free su-
gar. He wa5 rejoiced at the action of
the caucus and is hopeful that the
senate will accept the house bill and that
the president will sign it.
II believe the wealth of the country,
the rich and not the poor, should bear
the burdens of taxation" said Senator
Smith THE Democrats of the house
are to be commended for their work in
placing sugar on the free list. The ex-
else tax bill they have agreed upon is
an admirable measure as far as it goes.
l favor a straight income tax and this is
another step in the right direction. L be-
lieve it is constitutional and that the
courts will sustain the law if 1t ever
reaches them"

WASHINGTON, March 2.-One effect
of the enactment into law of the Dem
ocratic caucus program of placing
sugar on the free list would be to ter
inmate the present reciprocity treaty
with Cuba, and affect S4O,0O0,OO0 of
American imports into that island. on
which Cuba grants a reduction of from
90 to 40 per cent in duty, officials of
the bureau of trade relations of the
state department said today.

The abrogation of the treaty by Cuba

washes them more thoroughly

Gold Dust saves half your time,

Another great advantage of Gold

like. Gold Dust softens the hard

The best variety of rape to plant for
grazing hogs is Dwarf Essex. Prepare
the land we'll by blowing and harrow
ing so as to secure a good seed bed, and
plant as early as practicable. Fertilize
with a 9-2-3 or 9-2-4 fertilizer, de-
pending on the per cent of potash in
your land, using say 800 pounds under
the drill row. Plant just as you would
turnips under field cnditions. Cultivate
lightly and freely, until the crop gets
a good start. Hogs should not be
turned on the rape until it is IL or is
inches high. There is not much danger
of their overeating on rape, though it is
best to accustom them to the crop grad
uaIly. Rape may be broadcasted with
spring oats, English vetch or other
leguminous crops. In our experience,
planting in rows and cultivating has
secured larger yield and more salts
factory returns than any other plan fol-
lowed up to this time.
A good fertilizer for Irish potatoes is
1887; on sandy land, increase the
potash to 10 per cent, and the nitrogen
to 4 per cent. For watermelons, about
the same formula should be used as for
Irish potatoes. Irish potatoes ana
watermelons both do better when the
land has beeen enriched with vegetable
matter from plowirg under leguminous
crops or yard manure.
PLANTING OATS IN THE SPRING.
T. J. D., Fitzgerald, Ga, writes: Do
you think it advisable OF plant oats
this late in the season? The soil is light
sandy loan, produces good corn and cot
ton We were going to plant these oats
and fertilize them as planted with about
$50 pounds of 1922. Do you think nj
trate of soda would be helpful?
The best results from oats are obtain
ed in this section from planting the crop
in the fall. In a very favorable season
spring oats sometimes do exceptionally
well. but you cannot count on securing
as large a yield or as satisfactory
crop from spring planting as from fall
planting. II you decide to plant oats
it is we'll to get them I'm the ground as
SOON as practicable, and probably the
Burt is one of the best varieties to sow.
A rust proof sort should at least be Sc
lected for seed and an early maturing
variety will give the best results when
planted in the spring. Seed from the
north or west is not likely to prove sat
isfactory for spring planting in Geor-
gia You should prepare the land well
and seed in open burrows, as there are
likely to be quite a number of hard
freezes yet, which may prove very dam
aging to the oats unless the roots are
unusually we'll established in the soil.
On land Of the character described in
your letter, it will certainly pay you
to use fertilizer under this crop, and
300 pounds per acre SHOULD be the mini
mum amount to apply. We think you
will find a 1924 better than a 1922.
Nitrate of soda used as a top dressing
will be helpful. You should put it on
as soon as the oats are we'll out of the
ground and the growing season has set
in. To delay the application until the
grain begins to head would tend to slim
ulate stalk aud leaf at the expense of
the grain.

system, at the same time it is
wise to use both methods
where it can be done success
fully, and there is very little
difference between the Camp
bell system of dry farming and
the raising of a crop Of corn.
There is no difference so far as
the cultivation is concerned ex.
cept in the use of different inn
plements, and the cultivation
is little more thorough in the
cultivation of a crop of corn.
So far as the conservation of
moisture is concerned, in plow-
ing the land the corn farmer
always plows deep. This gives
him the reservoir for the mois.
ture. and the frequent cultiva-
tion of the crop serves the sans
purpose as the narrowing un.
der the Campbell system of
dry ia. ming. The e moisture
that comes up from the ground
through the plant and evapor.
ates of course is the one disad-
vantage, but this is more than
accounted for by the crop of
corn.
Stock raising and the dairy
is putting more into the soil
than the farmer is taking out.
Proper scientific methods of
farming will make this one of
the very richest agricultural
countries in the world because
of the fertility and depth of
our soil. Good agricultural
lands are becoming scarcer
every year and those we have
should receive the best possible
care and cultivation for they
are bound to become very valu
able. The agricultural lands
of the United States, except in

necessity become more and
