FARM ADVISER

What 1t Will Cost the Farmers
of Lafayette County in Taxes
If the County Court Pays One
half of a Farm Advisers Sal
airy Who Receives $4,000 Per
Year.
In Lafayette County the far
mers pay 500 of the county's
taxes. The assessed rate on
farm property is 25%, equals
S9,5OO,OO0 which is the taxable
value of all farm property.
The College of Agriculture Of
the University of Missouri at Co.
lumbia and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture at Washington,
D. c., will pay one-half the sal
airy of the Farm Adviser in La
feyette County, who pay the re-
manning half or $1,5O0.O0.
Since the farmers pay 500 of
the county taxes, their part of
the Farm Advisers salary would
be $4,000 Dividing the amount
Iof the Farm Advisers salary
that the farmers pay by their
taxable wealth and multiplying
by one hundred gives the amount
each farmer pays per $100 as
sessed valuation, which is S0.008
The assessed valuation of the
average farm and all farm prop.
erty in Lafayette County is
$3,250.00. Multiplying this by
,0.008 cents which is the amount
paid by each farmer per $10O as.
sessed valuation equals 26 cents
This is the average cost to each
farmer in Lafayette County fol
his part of the Farm Advisers
salary, l pound butter, l peck Of
wheat.
These figures were taken from
the 1910 census report.

GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON
Many Topics of Interest to the
General Public.

Washington, D. c., April IT,
Recognition of the West" is the
battle cry of the many Western
delegates who have arrived in
town for the annual national con-
gress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, which will
begin it's sessions Monday. The
congress meets annually, but. the
president Of the society is elected
only every other year. This is
election year and the delegates
have arrived early in anticipation
of a spirited campaign. Mrs.
William Cumming Story of New
York, is the present head of the
society and she is out for re-
election. Mrs. George T. Guern-
sey of Kansas, is the opposing
candidate. She is the first west
ern daughter to be candidate
for the Office of president-gen-
eral. Mrs. Guernsey believes
that she will have the solid back
ing of the entire West. Mrs.
Story is making her campaign on
the courtesy second term plea,
while this is being vigorously
combatted by the friends of the
Kansas candidate on the ground
that four years ago, Mrs. Story
herself entered the contest for
president-general against a first
term incubbent.
Secretary Garrison, it is under
stood, win direct that the War
Department estimated for the
next fiscal year shall include an
item of 81, 900 to maintain at the
mounted service school of Fort
Riley, Kansas, a pack of hounds
"for use in connection with ap.
proved program of instruction.
The eXpense of maintaining the
hounds at the school previously
has been born by the officers
themselves, and controller of the
Treasury having ruled adversely
on the proposition of defraying
this expense from army funds
Maj. Charles D. Rhodes of the
school has considered riding to
hounds as necessary to the de-
velOpment and maintenance of
the highest efficiency of the Fort
Riley institution and as a result
sought the cooperation of Sec.
retary Garrison to the end that
the hounds be procured at gov.
emment expense.

BEET SUGAR VS.. CANE SUGAR
The view is frequently held by
housewives that it is impossible to
make jelly with beet sugar, and that
cane sugar is necessary for this pur-
pose. The very general extent of
this idea is indicated by the action
of at least one of the large mail or
der houses of the country in appeal
ing to the popular prejudice, by ad-
vertising that it sells only cane SUI
gar.
via t.,
evident from the fact that beet sugar
and cane sugar are the same ident-
ical substance, known to the chemist
as sucrose, one being extract from
the sugar beet, the other from the
sugar cane. Any difference between
beet and cane sugars would thus, of
necessity, be due to the different
character of impurities contaminat-
ing the sucrose from the two sources.
However, properly refined, granulat-
ed sugar, whether derived from the
beet or the cane, is one of the purest
substances sold on the market, con-
tanning, at most, not more than one
or two-tenths of one percent of i'm
purlt1es. 1t is thus evident that the
objection to the use of beet sugar is
due rather to misinformation and
prejudice than to any inferiority of
the sugar.
In this connection it is of interest
TO note that practically the whole of
the sugar used on the European con-
tinent is beet sugar. Certainly Eu-
rope has not fallen behind the Uni
tea States in the quality of the iel-
hes and other CONNECTIONS produced.
