states. | am told almost nobody pays
the tax on money, and that the state
receives practically no revenue from
it."
In November the people of Louisiana
will vote on constitutional amend
ment to free money, on hand and on
deposit, from taxation, and leading
bankers estimate that the adoption of
that amendment will result in an in
crease, from home sources alone, of
more than $1OO,0OO,OOO in the amount
of money annually available for the
financing of farmer and merchant in
Louisiana.
AS matters now stand fully that
amount of money annually passes out
of the state and into banks of other
states, thus helping the farmers and
merchants elsewhere at the expense of
the industries of Louisiana

TAXING MONEY.

Many man has asked "Why is
Louisiana not the richest and most
prosperous state in the Union?" have
asked that question many times. Here
is the answer | got from the executive
head of New Orleans concern which
draws more than five million dollars
annually from the business it does in
Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Ala
bama and Texas:
"Our cashier, every business day in
the year, receives On the average more
than $4,000, which under normal con-
ditions would be deposited in some
New Orleans bank. But, because the
law OF Louisiana can be so construed
as to impose a tax on money on hand
land on deposit, which, in the very
nature Of the case, would be prohibi.
tive, we do not make our deposits in
New Orleans banks, but each and
|eVery evening send all the checks,
drafts and other forms of cash received
that day, to bank in a northern city
lin state which does not tax money
on hand and on deposit In this way
we avoid the danger of a prohibitive
tax. 1t is the only thing we can dc
under the circumstances. It's tough
on Louisiana, though, because | know
lof about forty other large concerns
which do the same thing. This means
that more than $100,OO0,OO0 are sent
out of the state annually in order tc
lavoid prohibitive taxation. This money
would remain in Louisiana and be USED

PRICES FOR FARM PRODUCTS.
Crowley Signal.l

The greatest encouragement that can
be given agriculture is profitable prices
for farm products. Crop destroying
insects have been a stubborn. enemy,
and Jupiter Pluvius has played many
pranks on the farmer, but there is no
pestilence like low prices: they will
sap the life blood of an industry.
1t is one of the most pitiful sights
in twentieth century civilization to see
a farmer after he has raised a crop sit
lhelplessly by and watch the bulls and
bears Of Europe and America trample
over it, and yet if the farmer will only
organize and cooperate he can sue
cessfully fence out these animals that
devastate his products after the
harvest.
The Louisiana farmer needs cooper
a1lon as badly as diversifcation.

Wilson administration has accomplish.
ed for the American people:
A tariff framed without concessions
to special privilege
A currency law under which you get
your money when you need it--one
that prevents panics and insures stable
financial conditions.
An income tax that places upon
wealth just proportion of the cost of
maintaining the federal government.
A revision of the rules of business
without the usual and heretofore in
evitable panic.
Refutation of the oft-repeated taunts
that the Democratic party had not
capacity for solving questions requir-
ling constructive treatment. Witness
the currency, tariff, income tax and
other legislation that not only received
the votes of Democrats but the votes
of many Republicans and Bull Moosers
as we'll in both the Senate and House.
A firm foreign policy which prevent
ed war and made possible untold loss
of lives, the decentralization of business
and staggering war debt.
An arbitration act providing for con-
ciliation in the controversy between
labor and capital, and which has al
ready been successfully employed in
preventing great strikes that would
have tied up the entire railway bust
ness of the nation.
Enlargement of the scope of the
parcel post, which has reduced the
cost of transportation and become a
lasting and convenient instrument of
benefit to the consumer and producer.
The president has worked untiringly

The True Democrat:
| am enclosing an article that | had
Prof. Tiebout prepare for me on the
subject of growing cabbage plants at
home. which article I would like for
you to publish. l suppose you are
aware that last season our truckers
here purchased from South Carolina
growers approximately 100000 worth
of plants. | had occasion to call on
Prof. Tiebout last October, in reference
to growing cauliflower, and while walk
ing over his field he explained to me
how to grow my own cabbage plants.
When | came home, sent for Arthur
MADDEN, explained same to him, and
we planted our own seed, with wonder
full success, which prompted me to
ask Prof. Tiebout for this article for
the benefit of the truckers.
The fact is that if the seed is planted
and the season is favorable, with one
pound Of seed planted you should get
enough plants for two half-acres set
to field. This same number of plants
purchased from a distance would cost
approximately $22.50, while the seed
would only cost $2.75. Now, if the
season is not favorable, you can always
purchase plants when time for setting
to field arrives.
With the instructions of Prof. Tie
bout thoroughly carried out, a good
crop of plants is invariably assured.

Gray hulks in a grayer sea.
And the prayer that England prays

PROF. T|EBOUT ADVISES TRUCKER TO
GROW THEIR OWN CABBAGE PLANTS

common labor it is best to drill the
seed by hand. A shallow furrow
should be made and the seed put down
at the rate of two to three pounds to
the acre. Cover lightly with a garden
rake and roll with light hand roller
weighing about seventy-f1ve pounds.
After the ground is rolled, the seed
should be about A-inch deep. The
rolling will keep the seed from wash
ing away in case of heavy rains, and
bring moisture to the surface in case
of drouth. Under this method there
should be lots of plants from the thin
lnings to set additional ground.
With seed beds one has moisture
conditions under better control than
in the field, but all of the plants have
to be- transplanted from the seed bed
to the field, giving additional expense.
Under this method, broad beds about
five feet wide and of convenient length
are prepared. The surface is we'll
fined and leveled Shallow drills are
made at intervals of eight to twelve
inches crosswise of the bed, with the
edge of plank. The seed are dropped
in these shallow burrows, covered
lightly, rolled and sprinkled If the soil
is dry, The location of these seed beds
should be on clean land, near the
house, and close to a good water sup
ply. When the seed come up, begin to
breaksthe crust between the drills with
a light hand tool A four-tine prong
hoe is excellent for this work. Keep
the plants well worked and see that
they have enough moisture. Do not,
however, keep the bed soggy. This
will favor damp-off, disease which
causes the young plants to rot where
they enter the ground.
If the green cabbage worms trouble
the plants either in the seed bed or
field, dust, while the plants are wet
with dew, with powdered arsenate Of
lead itfy$m a cheese cloth sack.
BY all means get good seed Give
them reasonable care and you can pro-
duce much better plants than the
stunted 'frost-proof' plants from the
Atlantic Coast.
For such varieties as the Succession,
late September or early October should
be about the right time to plant for
shipment to northern markets. The
Charleston Wakefield is a variety with
a pointed head, little earlier than the
Succession. 1t is quite popular among
truckers, but does not give as great a
tonnage per acre as the later, fiat sorts.

Many truckers who ship cabbage to
northern markets during April and
May, send away to distant points dur
ing the winter and purchase cabbage
plants that should be grown at home.
There seems to be an impression among
growers that cabbage plants are hard
to grow during late September and
October, but this is not the case under
average conditions. Two methods are
commonly practiced; namely, planting
the seed in drills on 81 to foot ridges
in the field where the crop is to ma
ture, and drilling the seed on broad
beds where water is at hand, so that
the beds may be sprinkled in case of
dry weather.
The field planting method is prefer
able under favorable moisture condi-
tions. The ground must be thoroughly
prepared and free of trash. The ridges
are thoroughly fined with harrows and
leveled with a drag. In the hands of
experienced truckers, hand seed drills
may be used in planting, but with

faith that the United States of America
will continue to be the most prosperous

count of the European war, our crops
are the most bountiful in years. These
crops must be harvested. The mills
will grind the wheat and corn; the
railroads will transport the -four and
meal; starving nations will find some
way of getting these and the wealth
received in return will be spent at
home.
AS five per cent of our country's pro-
ducts are all that are exported, we are
likely to suffer great deal more from
the abnormal Tightening up of the
purse strings of our merchants, our
manufacturers, and our consumers,
than from loss of European business.
Let us all have faith in our country.
Let us go on in normal way. We are
confident of peace in our states. We
are practically sure of larger market
from outside, than we have ever had
before. If we can supply the wants of
South America at this crisis in Euro
pean conditions then we have builded
new outlet for our products. A
market hitherto European and one es-
timated at one billion dollars a year in
volume will be ours. 1t is an opportune
moment for the manufacturers of this
country to take advantage of this
market and to send their real men to
make business connections, establish
agencies and acquaint their houses
with the wants of South Americans.
Their orders should be filled under

goods for ourselves and offering them
to meet the requirements of our South
American friends in such a way as to
supply their needs from their own

Let us all work together in natu-
