KEEPING THE CRUST BROKEN IMPORTANT

BY Andrew M soue, Georgia College of Aac

The less vegetable matter there is
in soil the more readily it will crust.
Southern soils are notably deficient in
organic or vegetable content by rea-
son of the long period of single crop
ping and clean cultivation. A hard
crust prevents uniform stand of
any crop and lack of uniform stand
means a materially reduced yield. To
get the best stand, 1t is therefore i'm

paying more per head for mules than
practically any other state in the union
and she is raising fewer colts per
farm. Is there any valid reason for
this?
But conditions are changing. Heavy

mules. In every case the change has
proven profitable. The mares have
shown their ability to pillow the land

General Letter on
Trade Conditions and
a Business Forecast

The First National bank Of Fargo
has issued the following general let
ter on trade conditions and q business
forecast for the month, of December: l.
"A careful analysis of the business
situation at this time shows clearly
that the majority of complaints heard
about business operations during the
past two years have been without real
foundation or reason. Taking the
totals Of all big things in business for
the past twentyfour months, we find
that new records have been set for the
tWO-year period by nearly every one
of them and the sum total of them all
sets decidedly new record in trans
actions. Bank clearings, foreign
trade, production of gold, coal and the
base metals, earnings of railroads and
crop production have all, during this
period, exceeded any similar period
In the history Of the country.
These great activities have caused a
tight money market because we have
not enough of the circulating medium
and scarce money in turn has caused
business failures to increase material
ly both in number of failed concerns
and in total liabilities.
The trouble has not been lack of
business but lack Of money with which
to carry it on and the continued dull
ness Of the stock exchanges is another
natural result of scarce money. The
banks have ben busy taking care Of
the absolute needs of their big GUS
toners in manufacturing and mer-
chandising lines, in helping importers
and exporters to finance their tre-
mendous exports and imports and in
assisting, through the country banks,
the moving and marketing of the
crops, the total of which for the two
year period, as just stated. is the larg-
est ever known. ,..

Delinquent Tax Case
Won by State Test
Case on TaxRebating

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. E2-In a decf-
sion rendered yesterday Judge Nues-
sle, judge of the Sixth district, dis
solved an injunction issued against
the sheriff of Burlefgh county in
February, 1918, restraining him from
seizing the plant of the Bismarck
Water Supply Co. for delinquent tax
es. The matter has been pending in
the district court for nearly two years,
and Judge -Nuessle's findings yester-
saday mean that unless the case is ap-
pealed to the supreme court, the Bis
marck Water Supply Co., must pay
the treasurer Of Burleigh county, tax
es, penalties. and interest for the
years 1909, 1910, the sum of $500.
This case was prosecuted to a sue
Berndt and George E. Wallace of the
state tax commission Mr.. Wallace as
sisted by Mr.. Birdsell, chairman of the
tax commission, making the winning
fight in the district court before Judge
Nuessle. This Is said to be a test case
as to whether or not the board of
county commissioners can at their
pleasure rebate taxes.
1t has been the practice in Burleigh,
and other counties, since statehood,
for the commissioners to abate taxes,
The tax commission determined to in
vestigate this matter and to recover
If possible such taxes.
In 1909 the Water Supply Co, was
valued for assessment at $45,552 and
their total taxes for the year was $2,-
237.09. In 1910 they were valued at

$4,000, and taxes were ieVisd5 at 81, :
926. These taxes were allowed to be-
come delinquent and in December,
1911, showing was made to the board
of county commissioners by the Water
Supply Co., that the valuations for
1909 and 1910 were excessive. On
Dec. the board passed resolution
authorizing the county treasurer to
accept one-half of the taxes due, plus
Z per cent interest. County Treasurer
Kositzky refused to accept payment
on these terms and Sheriff Barnes
company. About Feb. l, 1912, Judge
Winchester issued an injunction re-
straining Sheriff Barnes from proceed
ing with the collection Of the taxes.
The matter remained in this condition
until last year when complaint was
made to the tax commission that this
case had never been decided. The tax
commission took the matter up with
States Attorney Berndt of Burleigh
county and George E. Wallace Of the
tax commission in behalf Of the state.
Later they were assisted by Commits
sioner Birdsell. State Engineer Anders
of Fargo was brought to the city and
physical valuation made of the
property of the Water Supply Co. On
this showing the company withdrew
it's complaint that the valuations for
the years in dispute were excessive
and fought the case upon TECHNICAL
ties. In his decision yesterday, Judge
Neussle dismissed the case, dissolved
the injunction, and taxed the costs up
against the Water Supply Co. -

1t has been a period Of enormous
transactions, tight money, uncertain
ty as to the future and, as a natural
result, 1t has been a period Of small
profits. Hand to mouth business, eEen
though in large volume, is less profit
able that the purchase and sale of
goods in larger individual items and
at less frequent intervals.
While readjusting ourselves to the
operations Of new political admins
tration, while re-pricing our lines to
meet the necessities of the new tariff
bill, while scheduling our incomes in
accordance with the requirements of
the income tax law, while adjusting
ourselves to the operations of a new
currency system in whatever form it
may be finally fixed by congress and
while going through the tremendous
business readjustnlent which may be-
come necessary because Of proposed
antitrust legislation and antitrust
action,--while all these things are 60
ing on, the volume of business as a
whole must necessarily shrink to some
extent. The care, however, with which
business will be operated during the
coming two-year period will mean
much In the increase Of actual net
profits.
During October, bank clearings
totaled $15,696,000 while last year they
were 17,146 millions. The considerable
shrinkage for the month was not all
due to lack Of stock exchange opera
tions because clearings outside New
York totaled only $7,002,000 compared
with $7,007, 600 for October last year. For
the ten months, clearings have total
