Taken altogether. the banana tax is
a fine illustration of stupidity in tax
laying. OF course the source OF the
blunder is easy enough to understand.
Having resolved to throw away about
$50.O00.000 OF revenue now paid by
foreign sugar growers and the REIN
ers' trust the Democrats were hunt
ing for something on which to make
good the loss.
Some Democratic tariff-making gen
ius thought of the banana. and re-
membered that forty years ago, when
he was boy, bananas we're regard
ed as a luxury" So a tax was slap
ped on bananas.
Except possibly the income tax on
life insurance funds and through
them on widows and orphans, there is
not in the Woodrow Wilson bin a
clearer illustration OF Democratic in
competence in legislation than the
banana tax.

into the NOV In good condition II
we are to derive the full feeding value
from the hay crop.
Men who are the best feeders of
farm stock appreciate this fact and
are willing to undertake the extra
labor OF curing their hay In cocks so
that they may obtain its full feeding
value
II seems almost impossible to make
gumes without curing 1t In the cock
before hauling It to the barn.
All farm work must be carefully
planned during the hay harvest. Part
of our time Is needed In the potato
and corn fields. During the catchy
weather the weeds grow fast and we
must plan to keep ahead OF them by
employing our hands at this work
when they are not busy In the hay
field
We should keep every man busy
without cutting down hay when the
weather is catchy In fact one of our
greatest problems is to find time for
haying at this time of the year.
With our cultivated crops planted
late and other farm work demanding
the attention we have a full program.
II Is the time when we must hire
extra men or lose a large part OF the
feeding value OF the hay crop.
We prefer TO hire the extra men
vhan wa ran cot them They are
hard to find. but we manage to get
them somehow.
II is much easier TO have the help
to push the hay harvest and not fall
behind with the other farm work
than 1t is to become all mixed up
with our farm work at this time OF
the year.

Advocating that the eight in ten
hour law" for postal employees be
modified so that.employes could put In
as many as ten hours on busy days
and work less than eight hours on
light days, Earle s. WEIGH. postmaster
at Eau Claire. addressing the Wiscon-
sin Association OF Postmasters. pointed
out what he considered the objection
able features of the law.
Whether or not the law has been
beneficial. he said, depended entirely
upon whether burdensome schedules
existed in post Offices under which
clerks and carriers were obliged to
perform service prior to the act.

20 keep all hands busy during the hay

Unlike other farm operations. hay
making cannot be followed along def

Weather is the great controlling
factor in hay-making. Hay will not
