new TAX TO AFFECT $500
Revenue Collectors Say Minnesota
Is One Of Leading Earning
States In Union
FIFTH IN CORPORATION TAXES

Minnesota will be one of the lead
ing Income tax" states according
to the estimate of st. Paul internal
revenue collectors who placed 25,-
900 as the number of incomes which
will be subject to assessment this
year@if the income tax law passes
congress In Its present form
., The fact that the Minnesota ranks
seventh in corporation tax collec-
lions, which last year amounted to
over $1,2OO,00O is said to have had
an important bearing on the estimat-
ed number of taxable incomes.
Over 1900 corporations paid the
government tax last year in this
state and this year it is estimated
1000 corporations will be subject to
the income tax. This tax will IN
crease the amount paid by corpora
lions to the government about $780,
900. 49,
The income tax is now before the
conference committee Of the house
and senate in Washington. In its
present form it places the minimum
exemption at $4,000. In addition the
law provides that married man
whose wife has not an independent
income will be entitled to an exemp-
ton Of $1,000 and an additional ex-
emption of $500 each for two minor
children, making the total exemp-
ton for such a man. $1,000.

grass, The root stocks are yellowish
straw colored or greenish yellow; In
ordinary cultivated soil in Iowa, they
are usually found in the surface soil
to "a depth Of four inches, or occasion
ally to depth of six or seven inches;
in meadows two and three inches be-
low the surface.
Western wheat grass in its habits
of growth, rootstocks and head re-
sembles quack grass, but may be
readily distinguished by its thicker
heads, larger spiklets and scabrous
leaves, which are decidedly blush in
color. It is not as difficult to exter-
inmate as quack grass. This grass
is very common along railroads which
have been largely responsible for its
spread. This grass is very nutritious
and is = most desirable grass for
sandy soil and places subject to wash
ing.
Various methods have been given
for the determination of quack grass.
The following methods have been
found effective: Sorghum method,
summer fallow, pasture and meadow
land and tarred paper method; Of
these the sorghum method 10 the most
effective.

ram, shown in the cut, is almost a
perfect animal of his breed. He is

short, wide head, coupled on a thick
short neck, which blends nicely into
a we'll covered pair Of shoulders. His
fleece is unusually good, being fine,
uniform in length, hneness and dens-
ity. He has an unusually well colored
skin. His wool covering over the
head and down on his legs makes him
. typical representative Of the Shrop-
shire breed.

Summer Fallow.
RSp

Inc summer 1allOW meCnOO mas
been tried to q limited extent in
northern Iowa. The land is plowed in
the spring, disked and narrowed at
least once week during the entire
season; the frequent cultivation brings
the roots to the surface and the direct
sun destroys them.
This method means a loss Of the
crop and is not to be recommended for
expensive Iowa meadow and pasture
land. When meadow or pasture has
been down FOR several years the root.
stocks are found much closer to the
surface Of the ground than in cult
| waited fields. In order to destroy
the quack grass the sod can be cut
to depth of about three inches. In
week the disk should be used.
When the disking is thoroughly
done repeat the operation in week
or ten days, continuing this during
the dry weather of the fall. This will
probably kill vast majority Of quack
grass roots. ~
Tarred Paper Method.
Tarred paper method is advisabis
where there is only small patch OF
quack grass. In laying down the tar
red paper the edges should be over
Tapped carefully to exclude light. One
should be careful also to let the tar
red paper extend some distance be-
yond the quack grass, as the quack
grass roots are sometimes three feet
long. Six weeks Of hot weather will
kill them out. A covering Of straw
or manure is frequently used in
bringing the roots to the surface
where there has been shallow culti-
walton, the roots then being destroy
ed. ~
Sorghum Method.
When this method is used, especial
ly where the quack grass has been in
small grain, the infested ground
should be given a shallow blowing as
soon as the oats, wheat, or barley
has been cut. Plow shallow and disk,
exposing the roots to the sun. AS
soon as the quack grass comes
through the ground, harrow the field;
repeat this often as may be necessary
through the months Of August and
September as these months are fire.
quently dry. This will help to destroy
large number Of roots for the next
season.
The next season, when the soil is
in good condition. sow sorghum at
the rate of IL to 2 bushels per acre.
The sorghum will crowd out the
quack grass. There is no other meth
cd as good as this.
In some cases it has been found
advisable where the roots" are abun-
dant in the field to rake them up and
burn them.
An absolutely clean culture
throughout the. entire season, while
preventing the growth Of leaves
which make the food of the plant to
be stored in the roots, while effective,
Is rather an expensive method.

The Iowa law is very definite in its
attitude toward certain noxious
weeds. The duty is laid upon town
Sip road trustees to see that all such
weeds along the highways the state
are killed tt prevent the production Of
their seeds. Any neglect by farm
owners is punishable by the trustee
who may order the work done, and
charge the cost against the property:

SHEEP.

Sheep, to the average man, Is q
very hard class Of live stock to Judge.
This is due to the fact that fleece
may be used TO cover up multitude
Of weak points in body conformation.
Where method is used in the proceed
ure of the work, judging of sheep
is fairly easy task. You must
use both your eyes and your hands,
else you will very likely overlook
many important points.
The typical mutton sheep is low
set animal, wide in the back and loin,
with long, wide and we'll filled hind
quarters, the high priced cuts being

cuts. The shoulders should be broad
on top and smooth on the sides. The
chest should be very wide and deep,

The question has been asked late.
ly whether q farmer can compel his
adjoining neighbor to fence half the
distance on the line between their two
farms. County Attorney Slattery
says the law will not force any man
to build halt the division fence unless
he has the other three sides fenced.
II an adjoining neighbor wishes to
fence his farm on the side adjoining
another farm be will have to build
it all, then II his neighbor subse'
quently fences so as to use the fence
that has already been built, as part Of
his enclosure, he al be compelled to
pay half the original cost of the line
fence. In most cases, however, farm
ers can usually come to some sort o.
an agreement on such questions on
basis Of fairness, and mol have &c
