DIGS UP MILLIONS
Tax Commission Increasing The State
Basis.

BASIS.
That the State Tax Commission in
the first year of its existence has dug
an and put on the books $13,640,31S in
intangible property is in a table pre-
pared and given out BY that body
Monday. This does not include Bal
timore county, in which there was an
increase of about $6,00O,000, or Balti-
more city. These two political divis-
ions are omitted from the table be-
cause each has a special agent not
rnder the supervision OF the State
Tax Commission, whose duty 1t Is To
look after this class or property and
get 1t on the books.
The table shows that there were
three counties in the State where the
County Commissioners failed to put
any intangibles-that is, the stocks
and bonds-on the books. These
counties are Calvert, the poorest
county in the State; Garrett and
Worcester. Outside OF these three the
biggest percentage of increase was in
Allegany county, where it amounted
70 lO4O per cent, and the next one,
Somerset, where it amounted to 541
per cent
The smallest increase-10 per cent.
is In Carroll, showing that there
the County Commissioners have been
diligent. In fact, not long ago 1T
was found that the Commissioners
there were collecting taxes on a lot
ST intangibles On which they ought
not to have collected.
The rate on stocks and bonds ~ the
low rate-30 cents-fOr which the
Legislature made special provision so
as to encourage an abandonment of
the practice of tax-dodging.

STORE SEED CORN PROPERLY
Three Things to Remember-Dry
Place, Fairly Low Temperature and
Well Ventilated Room.

III storing seed corn three things
should be kept in mind, according W
w U. Hackleman Of the Missouri Col
lege OF Agriculture. They are On a
dry room or building, (2)Ia fairly low,
even temperature without hard
freezes, and 90 well ventilated room
from which moisture from the sweat
ing grain may easily escape. Seed
corn may be injured IL stored above
sweating grain from which il receives
moisture.
These essentials are most perfectly
secured by proper storage in an at
tic, as careful tests have shown that
better results were obtained from such
storage than from any other. Cellars
in which there are furnaces are ex-
cellent; others are likely to be too
damp LII 1t Is impossible to use any
OF the house in this way, suitable
places can probably be found i'm tool
sheds or other farm buildings.
frame OF two by fours may be
built from two to six feet square and
strongly braced. IL chicken netting ~
then stretched over both the sides i'm
such way that the holes match, the
ears may be thrust through and stored
very cheaply. They may be swung
from the roof in strings, held by baling
wire or binding Irvine, or may be
stuck on nails driven into an upright
four by four post from which the cor
ners have been trimmed SO as to
make room for eight rows OF nails
instead Of only four. Mice may be
kept from this seed corn tree by nail
ing tin around the bottom just above
the base or by inserting hook In the
top by means OF which the tree with
It's load may be hung with wire from
the roof.
A study of your own conditions will
perhaps show you better methods than
any OF these which will meet the re-
quirements Of good storage.-By Fl. G.

culture.

Her husband, Walter f. WaddelI, had

Railroads Storing a Supply of Coal.

Railroad officials were loath to make
any formal statement regarding the
coal situation and the probability on
great strike in March. Pennsyl-
vania Railroad men declined to make
any statement, but a high official con-
scented to talk IL his name was not
used. He said that railroads believed
in preparedness and that no road, In
view of the events Of the big strike
eight years ago, proposed to be
caught mapping. He said that all the
roads were storing coal, but probably
only a little more than four years
ago, when trouble was expected but
did not eventuate.
The roads we're paying especial
attention To having a supply of
tituminous coal on hand, he said,
and he seemed to attach more i'm
tortance to this branch Of the ques-
ZION than to the anthracite side. As
a matter OF fact, it is well known In
Philadelphia that the railroads have
rean storing both bituminous and
Wy hracite. coal for eight months
