MEASURE
TO EQUALIzE
TAX BURDEN
BILL WOULD TAxONLY THE
IQuITY IN MORTCACED
PROPERTY

Oklahoma City. Okla. Jan. a.
Lewis Hunter representative from
Cotton and Comanche counties, has
introduced a bill that is calculated
to distribute the burden Of taxation
cquitably in the case of .mortgaged
property The bill provides that the
assessors of the several counties
shall exempt and deduct from the
assessed valuation Of the property
the amount Of the mortgaged indebt-
edness. The bill further provides
that the county clerks Of the various
counties shall register lien in the
namc Of the state with all mortgages
thai may be filed for record for ali
taxes that may accrue on account OF
the same.
In this way the state will be allie
to get taxes for the full value Of the
properly taxed and still the owner
OF the equity will be paying only on
the amount OF his equity. Mr.. Hunter
thinks that his bill solves a problem
in the inequalities of taxation that
makes the owner OF an equity pay
tax on the entire value OF the prop
erty.

well. 1t is only matter OF time and
education until our merchants will re-
alize that we are producing here at
home as choice a quality of hay as
elsewhere. In fact, native hays con-
tain a higher content of digestible nu-
trients than those brought in from
elsewhere and certainly we can pro-
duce them at a reasonable cost and
still leave a profit to the farmer if
we take into consideration the price
which we now pay for northern and

Do Not Expect Too Much OF Lime
Pres Andrew M sou Georgia State College q Agriculture

To obtain some data on lime, tests
were instituted several years ago on
a number OF soil areas in the south
ern part Of Georgia. The applications
of lime varied from 1900 to 5000
pounds per acre. Fifteen hundred
pounds of caustic or biting lime were
applied to some areas and 5000 pounds
of the finely ground raw rock to other
areas
Comparatively little benefit seems
to have beon obtained from the use
Of lime in combination with fertilizers
under corn, cotton or oats.
The conclusion naturally drawn by
the average farmer would be, there
fore. that lime was not valuable I'M
der Southern conditions for general
field crops. This would be a mistake
Chemical analyses of many type soils
in Georgia indicate some Of them to
be acid. and in some instances several
hundred pounds of lime would be.nec-
essary to correct the acidity.
1t is quite evident that where an at
tempt is made to grow legumes that
an acid condition of the soil is unde-
sirable; and to this end nothing can
be used to greater advantage than
lime.

Four groups of hens of different
breeds have been under a 59-day test
at the College of Agriculture in which
the relative cost of feed care and re-
turns has been figured in terms of a
year. Not until a years results are
obtained of course, can the actual an
nual performance Of the birds be
known for a years period
Thirty Rhode Island Reds, two
years old, cost at the rate of $1.10
per year for mash, 40 cents for
scratch feed, so cents labor or total
cost of $500. The average number of
eggs per yeaf estimated on the So
day test is 266.45, which at Is cents
per dozen, would bring S5.55, leaving
a net profit of $3.50 per hen.
A group of so White Leghorns, two
years old, consumed an average of
IA cents in mash per year, 40 cents
scratch feed, so cents labor, total cost
S1.64. Average number Of eggs per
year 1883, value $2.SS, net profit per
hen IA cents.
A group of 100 White Leghorn pull
lets netted s cents profit per hen.
Fifteen Barred Plymouth Rocks, two
years old, averaged IA cents worth
OF mash annually, 40 cents scratch
feed, labor so cents, total S164, aver
aged 151.47 eggs per year, value $3.15,
leaving net profit Of $1.51 per year
per hen.
The birds used in the test were all
healthy, pure bred stock, kept in
good houses, given plenty of fresh wa
ter and food, and otherwise well man
aged.
The feed in the test consisted of dry
mash Of the following materials and
parts, corn meal 4, bran s, shorts 5,
alfalfa meal 5, beef scraps /, cotton
seed meal 2, clipped oats 2. The
scratch feed is made as follows
Cracked corn 2, oats 1, wheat 1. The
mash is fed in hoppers and birds eat
at will. The scratch feed is fed in
deco litter, one handful to ten hens
in the morning and twice as much
in the evening. They are given a
small amount of green food daily,

The native grasses of Georgia should

Plans For The Feeder OF

bandry, Ga. State Col. of Ayr.
Cooperating with the county farm
demonstration agents the College Of
Agriculture is enlisting farmers
throughout the state in fattening cat
tie for beef, undertaking especially to
get the small farmer who :aay have
from one to five cattle to fatten, to
take up the work on systematic ba-
sis. The demonstration agent finds
the farmer who will undertake to fat
ten one OF more cattle. gets enough
cattle in community to make a car
load shipment and assists in market
ing them to the best advantage when
they are ready to SELL
Instructions are sent out as to how
to put beef cattle on feed and what
rations to provide until finished for
the market. Beef experts of the Col
lege doing field work will visit and adj
wise the farmers from time to time.
Farmers will be urged to use any
kind of animal available, the hope be-
ing that when the farmer has started
into feeding cattle for beef that he
will be interested sufficiently to pur-
chase and breed beef types.
For the farmer with one to five cat
tie to fatten, the College is advising
the planting of sorghum in rows, so
that it can be cultivated and pro
duce we'll This is to be used as the
chief roughage.
Corn slower and oats straw
will be recommended as an additional
feed in that line while cotton seed
meal will be relied upon as the con-
centrate. With such a ration, it is
believed that beef can be fattened
as cheaply and as well as anywhere
in the United States

In connection with the Summer
School for Teachers conducted at the
University of Georgia, June 2Sth-July
81, course will be offered in agri-
culture, one part of which is designed
to meet the needs of teachers in ele-
mentary grades of the public schools
and the other for high school teach
ers.
The general outline of the state
textbook in agriculture will be fol-
lowed, but special emphasis will be
given to experiments to be carried
on by students in the school garden.
Excursions will be made to the vari-
Gus parts of the College farm, and
the laboratories of different depart
ments will be utilized in studying vari-
Gus laboratory experiments.
In the high school work special en-
phasis will be laid upon experiments
or laboratory work to be carried out
in connection with texts and more adj
vanced work will be taken up than
that outlined in the elementary work.

lime at the rate of 1000 pounds per
acre under cowpeas gave an increase
of better than 1900 pounds Of peavine
hay per acre.
The sweetening Of the land is a
material advantage for all leguminous
crops. as it enables the organisms by
which they assimilate atmospheric MI
trogen to multiply and develop under
the most satisfactory conditions. In
fact, on strongly acid soils these or
ganisms do not seem to thrive prop
erly.
An attempt to supply it through
its use as a filler in commercial fer
tilizer is not desirable. First Of all,
the quantity is too small, and, second,
it is quite certain that the lime when
mixed with acid phosphate win cause
a reversion Of a part of the phosphor-
ic acid into less available and, there
fore, undesirable forms.
The use of the pulverized raw rock
at the rate of one ton per acre for
ordinary legumes can be recommend
ed In using pulverized limestone, it
is best to apply it as top dressing,
a few days before any fertilizer is put
into the soil. 1t is only necessary to
harrow it we'll into the surface of the
ground. It's tendency is to sink down
into the soil.

Summer Course
IN Cotton Grading

10y E. Rast, Professor OF Gotten
Industry
The important place that cotton
holds in Southern agriculture and in
view of the fact that it will prob
ably never be less prominent, it be-
comes pertinent that more attention
be paid to it's methods of handling
and marketing. There is an increasing
demand for trained warehousemen and
cotton buyers.
A course in cotton grading is espec-
tally desirable at the present time,
since the grades taught are those of
the new standards which after Febru-
airy 18th, 1915, are mandatory as a
basis of future contract.
The quickest and easiest way
to do this is to attend the Summer
Cotton Grading School during the pres
ent summer at the Georgia State Col.
-lege of Agriculture, June 2Sth to July
31st.
Students will have a great many
samples to handle daily and thereby
become thoroughly familiar with the
appearance of the various grades. The
whole course, although based on strict
scientific principles, is extremely pfac-
tical and every one who satisfactorily
completes the course should be in a
position to take charge of cotton
