REVENUE TAX

The law imposing a revenue
tax for the purpose of raising
500, 900, 600 to cover the deficit
in customs receipts, caused by
the European war, wento into
effect on the LIST inst.
The tax is imposed on liquors,
beer, tobacco, chewing gum and
other articles in daily use. Also
on bills of lading, deeds of con-
veyances and patent medicines.
Congress adopted the measure
as it was evident that the Eu-
ropean war would cause a great
falling off in our customs re-
ceipts. The wisdom of the
measure has already been dem
onstrated by the receipts that
have dropped below normal. In
spectors will see that the law is
obeyed.

FAVOR ACREAGE REDUCTION

AT a meeting Of the Mississippi
Bankers Association at Jackson
the past week, called by the
president to consider the cotton
and other problems, the associa-
ton adopted resolutions favoring
a reduction of so per cent. in the
acreage of 1915. 1t was the
concensus of opinion among the
bankers that it is vitality i'm
portant for the farmers to cut
down their crop and the banks
Of the state will look with disfa-
vor upon any disposition to con-
tinue to plant the usual acreage.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, it is evidently to
the interest of the entire people
of the state of Mississippi that
the cotton acreage for 1915 be
reduced, therefore,
BE it Resolved, That it is the
sense of this convention that the
cotton acreage for 1915 should be
reduced to so per cent, of the
acreage planted in cotton in 1874;
and to the end that such reduc-
ton shall be made,
Be it further Resolved, That it
is urgently recommended that
the bankers of Mississippi de-
cline tt lend funds for cond letting
planting operations to any farmer
or planter who will refuse to re-
duce the acreage planted to cot
ton by him in 1915, by at least
one-half Of the acreage planted
to cotton by him in 1914"

n COTTON CROP

The Commercial Appeal, of
Memphis, and the Times-Pica-
yune, of New Orleans, have is
sued their estimates of the cotton
crop of 1914. The Commercial
Appeals estimate is 14,9S8, 100,
while that of the Times Picayune
is Is, $50, 600 bales.
Each of these papers base their
results upon estimates made al
ter compiling the reports of cor
respondents in the various coun-
ties in all of the cotton states.
The Commercial Appeal has a
corps Of correspondents who re-
port weekly the condition of the
crop throughout the season,
which is published in every Mon
days paper. The Times-Pica-
yune hears from its correspond
ents monthly and reports once a
month.
Both papers state that picking
has progressed in all sections
rapidly and that the bulk of the
crop has already been gathered
and ginned. There is a DISPOSE
ton throughout the entire cotton
section by the farmers to hold
and also to cut down next years
acreage.
The Commercial Appeal esti-
mates Mississippi's crop at l.
1877, $50, the Times-Picayune, L.
300, 600. Lee county has ginned
20, 1916 bales as against 22,983
