Average assessment per acre.
Average value farm products
Mr.. Pharr presented similar
table for the other 43 parishes OF
the state showing the average
assessment to be only S4.02 pei
acre and the average value OF
farm products per acre, Sl3.59.
This is the same geographical
map which Mr.. Martin had in
Baton Rouge.
From these figures, Mr..
Pharr said, "you will note that
north Louisiana lands produce
about three times as much per
acre as the assessed value, while
the sugar parishes produce only
about one and one-third times.
Therefore, we contend we are
assessed out of proportion to
ether sections Of the state. y
"What is your solution?' [
asked Mr.. Pharr, calling upon
him at Olivier.
Temporarily he replied,
"by a readjustment of the state S
assessments by the state board Of
equalization; permanently by re-
vised tax and assessment laws to
be worked out. Two years age,
when Governor Hall had the mat
ter up. | favored segregation of
taxes and still believe that to be
the final solution"
And your immediate sugges-
tion?'
II should say one-third reduc-
ton in the assessments of the SUI
gar parishes, which are now such
hearty losers, and One-third in
crease on lands in the 43 other
parishes.
"For instance, reduce our
average from $14.O4 to $1,000 per
acre; increase their average
from $4.02 to 5000. Doesn't that
sound fair9"
Pending final adjustment of
this vexed problem, the Iberia pc.
lice jury appointed committee
of seven prominent citizens to go
to Baton Rouge. appear before
the state board Of equalization
on Wednesday, July %, and ask
for the 33 1-3 per cent reduc ton
on iberia lands, as follows:
Henry N. Pharr, chairman, Of
Olivier; DR.. H. A. King, New
Iberia, ex-officio; L. j. Landry,
planter and member of police
jury, Segura; o. D. Romero,
planter, Lydia; Harry B. Hewes,
lumber manufacturer, Jeane-
rette; John D. Valet, merchant
and planter. Loreauville; Leon
Dreyfus, New Iberia.
7. A. Derouen is assessor of
Iberia parish.
81 had assessed Iberia lands
on basis of 80 per cent" he said
f. me, when asked for his side of
this controversy "My instruc-
tions from the state board OF
equalization were not to go IN
der that. When the police jury
asked me to cut my assessments
33 percent | replied, Gentlemen,
/ cannot without authority from
the same source which fixed the
80 per cent basis" eff that
board orlers me | will make the
change, but it means going over
all my books and figures, practi-
call reassessing this whole par
ish. for which / will receive no
pay whatever. 1t is a great hard
ship on me and that is why |
asked them to extend my rolls.
If they want to equalize they
should go before the state board
and insist upon these other par
ishes coming up in their fig
ures."

GO WHERE YOU PLEASE
EAT WHAT YOU PLEASE

That is what you can do if you
take Dodson S Liver Tone. Many
people know the danger of cal
omel, yet they take it because
they know of nothing better.
Other people are not afraid of
calomel, because they do not UNI
derstand what dangerous drug
it is. Because it has never hurt
them, they believe it never will.
No one needs to take dangerous
calomel (Which is just another
form of mercury.
John r. Taylor & Bro. sell bod
sons Liver Tone for fifty cents

takes the place of calomel.
Dodson s Liver Tone is a pleas
ant-tasting vegetable remedy that
livens up the liver without caus-
ing any restriction of habit OF
diet. Tt has none of the many
bad after-effects of calomel and is
safe for children as well as
grown-ups.
You don't run a single risk
when you try DodsOn's Liver
Tone, because if you aren't en-
tirely satisfied all you ned to do
is go right back to where you

a smile. Isn't that fair?

Albumen in Baking Powders.

Ruling on albumenized baking
powders promulgated at a conference
of Inter-Mountain Food Commission
ers Of Utah, Idaho. Oregon, Montana.
Wyoming and Nevada, held in Salt
Lake City. Utah. April s. 1914.
"The essential elements Of baking
powder are the active leavening
agents and the necessary filler to pre-
vent accumulation of moisture, and
the consequent deterioration. Albu-
men or white of egg has no leavening
power in the quantity used. and 1t
performs no legitimate function in the
consumption of the baking powder.
It is added simply for the purpose of
deception, to make the product 'ap-
pear better and Of greater value than
It really Is, and constitutes an inert
ingredient substituted in part for the
proper ingredients OF a baking pow
der. The powder. therefore, which
contains egg albumen is deemed to be
adulterated under the law"

For the 40 years preceding 1911. the
name "Mississippi. has represented .
section Of our great country that, from
an agricultural viewpoint, was regard
ed as completely chained to Its tradi-
tons and its destiny SO iRseparably In
terwoven with the production Of cot
ton that the advent of the Mexican
boil weevil was regarded as a calamity
10 overwhelming in its effect that the
regeneration Of the state seemed for q
while to be a hopeless task; but this
seeming calamity has been the cause
Of an agricultural awakening which
has been fostered and aided by the az
ricultural departments Of the federal
government and state, by state institu-
tions. railroads and other large bust
ness interests operating within the
state until now this state is forging
ahead by leaps and bounds and Is pro-
crossing along new agricultural lines
faster than any other state in the
Union.
Corn Yield Increasing.
In three years. the production of corn
in the state has increased from 2S, 0OO,-
900 to $4,000, 900 bushels and from IL
to 20 bushels per acre; more pure bred
bulls and hogs, and also more common
cattle for stocking purposes have gone
Into Mississippi within the last two
years than into any other state; the
newest and most upto-date farming
implements are to be seen In use and
for sale everywhere and a daylight
ride on any railroad In the state will
show that oats, clovers and hay crops
are fast becoming staple and old King
Cotton would not now recognise his
once most devoted realm or subjects.
Out Of these changed and changing
conditions better things have come
and r still coming.
New Idea VIII Help State.
This new idea will eventually do for
Mississippi what It has done for Iowa
and possibly other states-afford q
home market for many products that
are purchased elsewhere, which will
result in keeping at home the money
heretofore sent aboard. This will
make Mississippi and her people pros
porous and Independent.

AN AGRICULTURAL DISCOVERY.

A Kansas man has figured out a simple scheme for raising po-
tatoes in dry seasons, says the Silver Lake Mirror. Plant the pota
toes a foot apart and between the hills plant an onion. The strong
odor from the onion will bring water to the eyes of the potatoes and
further irrigation is unnecessary-kansas City Journal.
Would the proper use of onions have a sauary effect on Ger.
tain Mississippi politicians: Possibly a repeated overflow of their
lachrymal ducts might wash away some of their characteristics, or
better still, float then into the sea of nothingness.
