last night about 12:so o'clock by shooting

ADVOCATE INCOME
TAX IN ALABAMA
Lieut.. Gov. Seed, Commits
siOner Lane and Harding
Express Themselves

Lieut. Gov Walter d. Seed, Commits
| sioner A. o. Lane and w. P. G. Harding,
president of the First National bank, reg
istered themselves yesterday in favor OF
an income tax in Alabama
The idea is good" said the lieutenant
governor" and 1 favor it, although l
have not made a close study of the mat
ter"
Judge Lane said: 1.-The idea appeals TO
me strongly. I have not looked into the
constitutionality of such a proposed step.
but If there is thing to bar the legsla-
ture in imposing an income tax, would
suggest that we give it a trial.
Mr. Harding spoke as follows:
AN income tax, while not at all popu-
lar among those upon whom 1t is levied,
is a very effective revenue producer The
state of Wisconsin has demonstrated what
can be done in this respect. 1t seems to
me. however, that the states that have
ratified the proposed amendment to the
constitution which authorizes an income
tax by the federal government. have
made great mistake in ceding this right.
When Justice Hughes was governor of
New York he pointed out that the states
were asked to make grant of power to
the general government which they might
at some time wish they had reserved fer
themselves. 1t would hardly be fair for q
state to levy a tax on incomes II such a
direct tax was also levied by the feder-
al government, and should ii be deemed
wise to have an income tax In this state.
1t might be well for the legislature to re-
scind its previous ratification of the pro-
posed amendment to the federal consttu-
ton, with a view of influencing other
states to adopt the same course"

VALUE OF THE LANDS
The County Could Produce Much of
the Grain, Hay and Meat Which
1t Now Buys From
Outsiders

Washington. January 15.-(Special.)-
The report of the soil survey of Chiffon
county, Alabama, recently made by the
bureau of soils in cooperation with the
state department of agriculture, will soon
be issued by the United States department
of agriculture. The survey was made for
the purpose Of showing what crops the
different types of soils of the county are
best adapted to and how they should be
treated and what agricultural methods
should be followed in order that the max
imum crop yield per acre may be OBJ
tanned.
The county comprises an area OF x.
square miles, or 4s2,OS0 acres. The sur
face features of the county vary from
gently rolling and rolling in the coastal
pain portion to decidedly heavy ano
broken in the Piedmont section. The
drainage of the uplands is ample to ex-
cessive, many of the sleeper slopes, par
ticularly of the Piedmont section, beins
badly eroded, but there are large areas
over which erosion has not done much Sc
rious damage, the slopes being smooth
and well suited to cultivation. The first
kottonls of the streams are subject to
overflow and much of the land remains in
a soggy condition between overfiows
Here artificial drainage must be resorted
to II good results of crops are to be OBJ
tained.
The stream terraces stand above over
flow. They are fiat to undulating and
have good drainage in the main. The
Coosa river, which forms nearly the en-
tire eastern boundary of the county, with
its tributaries, drains the eastern part OF
tile county. Six large creek streams carry
off the drainage of the remainder of the
county. At present considerable interest
IS being manifested in the opportunities
offered by the Coosa river for the devel-
opinent CT electric power plants.
Accompanying the report is a soii and
Topographic map showing not only the To-
cation and extent oi the various soil
types found in the county, but also the
location of all farmhouses, churches
schools, public and private roads, streams
and railroads in the county.
Area in Cultivation
About one-third of the area of the coun-
ty is in cultivation and probably 90 per
cent of the remainder is suitable Three
railroads traverse the county, making
good transportation facilities. There is
: vi excellent system of rural telephones
: over the county owned and operated by
tine farmers, and the rural free delivery
service reaches the majority of the farms
Good schools are within reach of every
home. The wagon roads, while not usu-
ally kept in good condition, can be easily
iEirroved with the abundance of good ma
terial at hand.
For a farmer of small means,' states
the report, the opportunities are excel

lem. The county Is favored with a climate
that fnsures the profitable cultivation of
very wide range of crops. The ltaple
crops OF both the north and south can
be grown. Fruits and vegetables of all
kinds thrive and the winters are SO mild
tfat some crops make growth the year
round. The annual rainfall Is 50 inches
and Is well distributed throughout the
year.
THE old practice of abandoning land
which is locally termed worn out has
about disappeared asserts the report,
'hn0 a system of crop rotation and fer
tiiization have been introduced in order
to maintain the productivity of the soils.
The more progressive planters have begun
to plant cowpeas, peanuts and oats upon
their cotton lands, and such soils where
examined were in a higher state of pro-
ductivity than those planted year after
year to cotton and corn only. The good
effects of deep plowing, rotation and the
use of the leguminous crops have been
demonstrated in many instances, especial
" so on the Kalmia sandy loan and
the Ruston sandy loan, where from one
to one and one-quarter bales of cotton
per acre is being produced. There are
large areas of other soils equally as pro-
ductive. Although there is much land
In the county which, with good manage
ment, will yield from one to two bales of
cotton per acre and give good yields of
corn. cowpeas. hay and other crops, many
of the farmers are slow to adopt the
more intensive methods of farming. Too
many of the farmers have been buying
from the local merchants with the pro-
ceeds of their cotton crops supplies, such
as corn, hay and meats. that could be
produced profitably on the farm. 1nou-
sands of dollars worth of corn, meat and
hay are imported annually which could
be produced locally IL the proper efforts
were made and the proper methods en-
ployed.

Most women do great deal of writ ing in one form or another. Those who do not, generally can apply the principles I am about to lay down in some other kind of sedative occu- patton.
 my picture is sitting well. She is near to the table, and the table is good height. The head should be held well up while writing, and if the vis- ion is imperfect from this height either make your table lower or high CT. It would decidedly pay women to have a, writing table made express 1y for their comfort that eye strain may be relieved.
 The practice-so seldom followed of steadying the paper on which you write with your free hand. is one that should be observed. All of this tends to diminish eye strain, and when eye strain is diminished, scoWl- ing brows and lines and wrinkles are avoided.
