CANADAS PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax

a Degree Practically
UnnoticeabIe.

So many rumors have been circu
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
OF Finance, of the Government S plans
for raising war revenue should be Civ
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits Of incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent. and The
profits OF unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute o%ne-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies.
banks, mining, milling, and other com
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies, and COM
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms. or individuals engaged in aeri-
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part Of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples,
and one-half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that it
does not affect farmers in the slight.

small increase in cost of apples and

that the whole policy is to place the

have been making big profits and are
able to pay it, and to encourage farm

Sunfiower as a Field Crop.

Kansas may lose it's right to the title

mold fast to the title, even thought it loses
the right to It To- an NE exshange says. The
real Suntlower. state is Arkansas.
The state of Arkansas has entered upon
the culture of s~unflowers. not for aesthetic
but for economic reasons. OF course, as
nearly all other states, sunf1owers have
been long grown in gardens for their
beauty and their height. but they have
planted in fields. From being merely a
garden pet or a back yard beauty the sun
flower has been advanced to the proud po-
sition of a crop. Sunflower growing q

Several rme will plant as much as 100

will be set out In ~sunfowers.
1t is not generally known in circles
where education in the matter of sun
flowers has not been brought up to date
that Missouri Is also something Of a SUM
of the field crops of Missouri for Is years.
The reason for the extension of sunfiower
cultivation is because the use of the seed
of the flower Is becoming extensive and
because there has been a marked decline
in the receipt of sun1ower seed from Rus
STA. which country at the breaking out of
the war furnished about 80 per cent of the
try food and is considered very nutr!-
tious. Different kinds of oils are extract
ed from the seed. n last year it was
used largely as a substitute for cottonseed
ing throughout the United States, and the
extension OF hat industry accounts In
great measure for the increasing demand
for sunflOwer seed.
The WELD of seed rms from ahn,t ON
to 1,5O0 pounds an acre. and though the
average price of the seed in the thrash
ing field Is 4 or s cents a pound, the price
recently has been up to Is cents a pound.
It is reported that a sunfiower crop is an
easy one to cultivate. An expert has said
that the labor required to grow 10 acres
OF cotton or corn will be ample for 40 acres
of sunfiowers. One or two CIVILIZATIONS is
all that Is required, and the threshfng is
a small part of the crop labor. The rows
are planted north and south, and when the
heads mature a wagon is driven long the
row and the heads cut off with a corn
knife, falling into the wagon. where a man
or a boy strikes them against the wagon

then put in a dry place, and finally famed.
