TAXES WILL BE LARGER
Assessments on Incomes This Year to
Exceed Those of Last-Returns
Now Being Tabulated.N

Madison That the receipts under
the state income tax law will be larger
this year than last year, and from
present indications will be larger next
year than ever before, was the gist OF
statement made by Nils p. Haugen,
chairman of the state tax commission
while the returns have not all
been compiled, the figures indicate
that during the last part of the year
1915 manufacturers were particularly
prosperous, and this prosperity shows
in the amount of income subject to
taxation" said Mr.. Haugen. 1t may
be, however, that the increase in the
tax will come largely from the corpo-
rations, as this prosperity has scarcely
reached the individual by that time,
The returns are now being %tabulated
in the different counties of the state
for the individual income taxes, and
these results will soon be available"
Mr.. Haugen said that from the
standpoint of the manufacturer 1915.
had been usually prosperous.

SIX HUNDRED AN ACRE.
Ras pberries on Trelises Profit at Home
Of Thomas Metcaf.

If one-sixth of an acre of ground
produced 500 worth Of raspberries
whole acre, according TO the ar!th-
met:c. would produce $500 worth
which is certainly keeping the soil on
the job
And Thomas Metcalf. Sr, who lives
on a beautiful 23-acre tract OF land
Just outside the city limits Of Council
Bluffs. furnishes the basis for this
problem. He has the 100 foot square
Of raspberries, and he also has the bit
more than 500 that the berries yield
ed him this year.
His success is largely attributed to
the fact that he trains his vines on
trellises just like grapes and keeps
the patch clean and the vines pruned
carefully. The advantage Of using
the trellises is that the vines are kept
off the ground. the berries ripen better
and none is lost by being overlooked
or knocked off the vines.
His variety is the Cumberland and
they are set in rows six feet apart, the
vines being about five feet apart in
the rows. There were fifty crates OF
the berries. twenty-four pints TO the
crate and the price was just a few
cents above 81 a crate

HARD WINTER WHEAT- FREE.

Iowa 104" wheat which il will dis
tribute free to farmers, in one and one
half bushel lots, This new wheat has
been grown both at the experiment
station and by a number of farmers
turnout the state for the past three
years and has proved its value both as
good yielder of large quality wheat
and as an unusually hardy winter va.
riety. During the past severe winter II
showed less winter killing than any
other variety and in one test in the
northern part of North Dakota came
thru the winter with very little injury.
No charge will be made for this
wheat, out each farmer TO whom SEED
Is sent will be required to sow the one
and one half bushels on an acre OF
ground alongside of an acre of the va
riety he is now using or Of some other
good local variety, The two lots must
be harvested, threshed separately and
the yields from both plots reported I.
the experiment station.
This wheat will be sent out in the
order in which the applica tons are re-
ceived, while the supply lasts. Any

stated should write at once to ]. Blu

drain the lakes Of Iowa, H. c. Beard
of Mt. Ayr, J. W. Holden of Scranton
and Dean A. Marston of Iowa State
College. members Of the state highway

Of investigation thru the northern lake
region of Iowa during the past two
weeks. T. H. Macdonald chief engi-
neer Of the commission. and r. w.
Clyde engineer in charge Of the lake
survey, accompanied them.
The last state legislature requested
the commission to make an extended
survey Of the lakes and make recon-
mendations as to whether it would be
advisable to drain some Of the lakes
or to make them deeper. This Is now
being done. The matter is being
studied from the standpoint Of the ef-
feet the drainage would have on the
water systems Of the state, and
whether it would cause a decrease or
increase Of food troubles Also. the
question OF what could be done with
the reclaimed land in case the lakes
should be drained is being studied.
From the data gathered from the
survey. and from personal observations
on their present trip. the commission
plans to make recommendations to the
next legislature 1t will also suggest
ways for the Improvement of the
larger lakes as beauty spots.

GIVE YOUR LAWN A DRINK.
But Don't Sprinkle Il in Hot Weather
Unless You Want TO Kill IT,

Don't sprinkle the lawn in hot
weather unless you want TO Kill IT.
Sprinkling only shortens the life Of the
grass by drawing the grass roots to the
surface OF the ground where the hot
sun soon kills them.
Soak the lawn once a week, says r.
J. Pearse, landscape gardener at Iowa
State College. and then don't sprinkle
in between. Take the nozzle off the
hose and lay it on the ground, is the
method he advises. Turn on the water
and let it soak up a part OF the lawn
for half an hour. Then move it across
the lawn so that finally all Of the lawn
has had a thorough soaking. This
should be done at night and it may
take several nights to get over all OF
the lawn, but 1t pays in the end.
In soaking the lawn, don't force a
heavy stream against the grass, as
that will only wash the soil away from
the roots. Direct the stream SO that
it will spread out and run among the
grass plants. One of the best ways TO
do this is to let the hose run its stream
upon a small board and this will help
distribute It. Sprinkling never pays.
Give the lawn a drink as nearly like
it should receive from good rain once
a week, and the results will be evident.
