TO DISCOURAGE MATRIM0NY
New York Professor Would Compel
Married Men to Pay Heavier
Tax Than Bachelors.

New York, Oct. z1.-Matrimony
should be discouraged by compelling
married men to pay . heavier tax
than bachelors, Prof. Joseph French
johnson. of New York university de-
clared before a state legislative tax
investigation commission.
The discussion Of a proposed in
come tax caused Professor Johnson
to assert his disapproval of showing
fav0ritism to married men.
I would not exempt married men"
he said. Il would not give any pref.
erence to a man who is married over
q bachelor because I do not believe
1t is good thing to encourage mat
rimony by lowering taxation"

THERE IS MONEY IN SORTING
- POTATOES

There is money to be made by the
sorting Of potatoes. Consumers, large
and small, do not like mixed lots. They
want them uniform in size and quality.
Consequently potatoes are usual Y sort
I'd before being put on the market and
he price which is naid the potato
grower is the price Of sorted potatoes,
less the cost Of sorting. Therefore, the
,otato-grower who ships unsorted pota-
;oes really has to pay the charge of
sorting.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes, al
30, has to pay another charge, and that
the freight on the culls which are
alter taken out o. hi~ shipment.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes
therefore, is simply wasting money.
t pays to sort because it gives one the
op market prices and because it saves
rel ght on culls, and, it might be add
ID, because the culls could be kept on
he farm and made use Of in rations
:or live stock.

RIGHT AND DUTY.

to do our duty a. we understand i.
Abraham Lincoln.
LIVESTOCK AS A FACTOR N
FARMING

Records from 400 farms in Rice
county, Minnesota, show that good
livestock was the most important fac
tor in making farming profitable. The
labor income, or the amount Of money
the farmer earned above farm ex-
penses, interest on the farm investment
at 5 per cent and the value Of farm
produce used in the household, was
used as the measure of success.
The productivity of livestock is
measured by the value of the returns
to the farmer. Those farms having
livestock returning less than 60 per
cent of the average of all the farms on
the basis of the amount Of livestock
kept, gave an average labor income of
$40 less than nothing. In other words
