Keep the Weeds Out of
the Corn.

The principal reasons for culti-
waiting corn during the early sta
ges of growth are to kill the
weeds and conserve moisture.
Weeds are undesirable in a corn
field because they not only use up
the water that should be left for
the use of the corn, but they also
use up plant food. Therefore one
operation may serve to kill the
weeds, and also to establish an
earth mulch to prevent the evap.
Grafton of water. If a weeder or
harrow is run over the field on a
hot, sunshiny day, before the
corn plants are up, it will eStab-
lish the earth mulch and kill the
weeds that are just starting. The
yeeder or harrow should be run
over the field frequently until the
plants are seven or eight inches
high, These implements should
not be used early iE the morning
or on cloudy days since at this
time the plant cells are filled with
water and the plants are easily
broken off. George Livingston,

Chick Feeding.

1t is we'll to know that young
chicks do not need solid food for
from 48 to go hours after hatch
ing, as their stomachs contain
sufficient food to supply their
needs for that time. Simply be-
cause the little chicks peck a.
round does not signify that they
are in need of something to eat.
They should, however, be SUP
piled with plenty Of fresh water.
Keep the water supply pure by
cleaning out the pans or other
containers every day. Grit in
the form of sand, or better still,
sharp granite grit and fine oyster
shell should be kept before them.
The oyster shell supplies bone
making material, and the grit
aids the digestion.
One of the best feeds for little
chicks is dry bread or cracker
crumbs moistened with water or
sour milk. Rolled oats are also
good, but their continued use is
not advised. Brooder chicks have
to be taught some things that
those reared in the natural way
learn from their mothers. Eat
ing is one of these. The frs
food given them should he ligh
in color so as to be easily seen

Crop Conditions.

The month of Auril having
been very favorable to wheat
growth, the plant shows a heal
thy increase in condition over
that reported one month ago.
Present growing condition is es-
timated at "a per cent compared
with an average. On May of
last year wheat condition was
estimated at SO per cent. In a
few of the southern COUNTIES of
the state, the plant is not in a
thriving condition, but generally
over the state the growing con-
dition at this time is most salts
factory. The reported damage
by Hessian fly and other insects
is very slight. Rain is badly
needed. The present market
price of wheat is reported at 81, AZ
per bushel.
Compared with last year a
slightly increased area has been
seeded to oats. Correspondents
estimate that /, 1863, O49 acres have
been sown. This is 102 per cent
compared with the 1914 acreage.
Conditions at seeding time were
most favorable. Last year vas
an exceedingly poor one for oats.
The harvest resulted in one Of
the smallest productions Ohio
had recorded in a numberofy years.
The average production per acre
was but thirty bushels. Unless
growing conditions are most un-
faynrable, the coming harvest
should far exceed the production
of 1914. The present market
| price of oats is reported at Sc
cents per bushel.
Rye shows healthy growing
condition, being egtipated at 95
per cent compared with an av-
erage,
Fruit prospects are excellent.
The season is now so far advan-
ced that there is little or no dam
ger of frost. The harvest should
be most bountiful.
Compared with a normal yield,
berry prospects are estimated at
SO per cent.
Live stock generally wintered
well. No unusual losses are re-
ported.
All farm work is we'll advanc-

That Income Tax Law.

income tax law, numerous am
endments will be recommended
to the next Congress by the
Treasury Department.
Official experts are quietly at
work on this statute, preparing
a report on TIE crudities it con-
tains and outlining proper legls-
latiye action to correct them.
The law is honeycombed with
errors,
A striking illustration OF this
thread of weakness that runs
through The whole gamut of Dem
ocratic legislation occurs in one
of the most vital provisions OF
the income tax law 1t relates
to deductions that shall be al
lowed in computing gross in
come-a basic element in this
system Of taxation.
Paragraph B of the law states
that in computing income for
the purpose of the normal tax
there shall be allowed as deduc-
tions" among ether things loss
es actually sustained during the
wear incurred IN TRADE" &c.
What is the meaning of the words
Sin trade?" The courts must
decide.
The phrase is capable of an in
finite variety of interpretations.
AS construed by the Treasury
Department, deductions from
gross income for losses ''in trade"
can be made only in connection
with "that which occupies and
engages the time, attention, and
labor of anyone for the purpose
of livlihood, profit or improve
ment; that which is his personal
concern or interest, employment.
occupation, but it is not necessa-
ry that it should be his sole oc-
cupation or employment" "
For instance, it is said that if
a grocer has invested in real es-
tate, in making his income tax
return any real estate profit must
be added to gross income; but
losses from real estate invest
ment must not be deducted from
gross inc0m
From every part of the coun-
try bitter complaints have been
made against this ruling, and
the question is to be taken to the
courts for final adjudication.
Whether the ruling is right OF
wrong, it is the uncertainty OF
the statute that reflects upon the
intelligence of the political party
responsible for it.
Nothing but heedlessness coulc
have permitted it. The taxpay
er bears the burden Of the blum
der, for it is a maxim IN govern
mental affairs that every doub
in a law is resolved in favor o
the government by the admins
tratiye officers.
Errors in the income tax lay
