TAXATION.

Eighty different boards of sup
ervisors provide the states rev.
enne each saying how much it
will give, and exhausting every
ingenuity that can be devised to
give as little as possible because
each believes that every other
county board is doing the same
thing. That the state can exist
at all, under such conditions is
matter for marvel. The revenue
sysrem can not be continued,
because under it. the state is be-
ing starved to death a remedy
must be sought and relief found
found as speedily as possible.
That is tina primary cause for
our financial distress, but not the
only cause, Our whole tax
method needs reformation to
remove the gross inequalities
and iniquities that prevail
through the whole fiscal system
for the correction of which |
would suggest the creation by
the legislature. of commission
whose duty it would be to locate
the defects in the prevailing
system and find and formulate
some adequate remedy therefor,

tutional convention should such
be called if not, to the next
session OF the legislature, From
Gov. Bilbo's inaugural address

And it is with this particular
feature that we would suggest
particular attention being paid
by the commission, if one be ap-
pointed that is to investigate
the question Of taxation.
We feel that no proper system

rated that does not provide u

or pasture plant there is no Glow
er of more Importance to the
farmers of Mississippi than ia
pan clover or lespedeza. This
clover grows on all the soil types
of the state but makes its high

been harvested. The nay is
practically the equal OF alfalfa
This is the statement OF j. K.
Kicks of the Mississippi A. &. M.
College Experiment Station. who
is urging his fellow farmers to
work this crop into their rota-
tions this year. Ricks offers the
following timely hints on grow
ing lespedeza:
Plant the latter part of Feb
uary or the first of March. If
lespedeza seed are planted alone
SOW one bushel to the acre, but
in mixture with other crops
Is pounds will be sufficient
Where oats or wheat crops were
planted last fall. splendid plan
is to SOW leSpedeza seed broad
cast on the crops and cover with
drag or section harrow with
the teeth slanting backward
in order that the small grain
crop will not be injured. This
not only covers the lespedeza
but serves as cultivation fer-
the small grain, which is exceed
ingly beneficial at this season.
BY the time the grain is ready
for harvest the lespedeza will he
4 or 5 inches high aud after the
grain crop is off will grow up
quickly, producing by fall as
much as two tons of valuable
hay to the acre. In addition t."
the hay, the seed can be secured
at little expense by using a seed
pan on the cutter bar of the
moving machine when the hay
is cut. To secure these seed it
is necessary to allow the crop to
mature somewhat before cutting
which does not materially injure
the quality Of the hay.
Farmers who have saved much
lespedeza hay know how impor-
tant it is to handle the hay in
such a way as to save the leaves
since they shatter badly. If the
hay is allowed to remain in the
swath exposed to the SUMS rays
till it is dry, practically all the
leaves will be lost. As soon as
the hay is fairly we'll wilted
therefore, rake it into windrows
and later put inio cocks.

MISSISSIPPI HOGS
BRING HIGH PRICE
! n c H |C A c 0;
small FARMERS.
W|N OUT.

BY cooperating and pooling
#$heir shipments of hogs in car
a load lots the farmers of Yazoo
county, Mississippi, have been
8enabled to reach the Chicago and
list. Louis markets and are re-
U ceiving the full market price for
4 their stock. Led by w. K. Ritch
farm demonstration for Yazoo
N county, they arranged plan by
Y which each farmers small herd
was duly marked and many herds
thus gathered together were con-
solidated for cheap transporta-
tion in carload lots. The result
is thus described by the Reporter
News bureau OF the National
Stock Yards, Chicago:
The first hogs ever sent TO this
market from Yazoo county, Mis-
slssippi. were received last Sat
urday. These hogs were marked
under the supervision Of Mr..
w. r. Ritch, the progressive
farm demonstrators of Yazoo
county. The Hogs belonged
to several different farmers who
under The direction OF Mr.. Ritch
punched their hogs and sent them
to market. Each lot was
marked so that their ownership
could be readily distinguished
The shipment consisted Of ,wo
carloads, mostly ight#eight
stock.
The best of these hogs sold at
Sc while the next best went at
$3.50 and some pigs weighing
around 100 pounds sold at S5.25
One load netted the sum Of
$597 20 and the other one $772, 46
making total for the two cars
of $1369.66. Only few years
ago such thing as shipping hogs
to market from Yazoo county
was considered to be impossible
but now that a feasible plan. has
been found and the shipment
complete success, many others
will no doubt follow.
The marketing of live stock
has been stumbling block to
the southern farmer and has
been the means of keeping dow y
the production of live stock to a
very great measure. Now that
it has been demonstrated that
hogs can be sent to this market
from Mississippi by7their own
ers there is no reason why cattle
cannot be marketed in the same
manner and the small farmers
can III this way manage to get
a good price for all Of their sur
plus stock. 1t takes but few
farmers to get together and make
UP load Of cattle or. hogs and
send them to market and the
next few years will see many
thousands of dollars 90 INTO 4a-
zoo and adjoining counties from
this source.

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? BY the real money-saying
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
