on conveniently located farms. The
veterinarian explained how the disease
spreads and described in detail and
gave demonstrations showing how to
prevent its spreading. Practically all
of the dairymen in each locality saw
this demonstration. In some localities
every man who owned cow, came to
the meeting and secured this informa-
ton. -.4
Assistance in Feeding Dairy Cows
On request, information has been
given on 1876 farms in regard to re-
placing or substituting feeds. A great
many of these farms have reported
better results for the same cost of
feed; none have reported poor results.
Information on the use of silage and
root crops has been gathered and dis
tributed and their use urged constant
ly. Eleven meetings have been held
for the purpose of presenting figures
on the cost of silos and discussion of
details of construction. In addition
to this, 20 farmers have discussed
costs and methods of construction In
private with the agriculturalist. 1t
seems reasonable to conclude that all
this work has contributed considerably
to the construction of about 20 new
silos in Benton county this year, es-
pecially in view of the fact that so
many have come after the informa-
ton after the use of the silage had
been urged.
Two hundred lightweight requests
have been received for information on
feeding and care of hogs. This in
formation was given either by visits
to the farmers or by private inter-
views elsewhere. Requests for other
work have crowded in too fast to per-
NIT time for checking, but by chance
it has been learned that on a great
many of the farms the methods of
feeding or care or both have been re-
adjusted according to the recommen-
dations made. Many have reported
good results; none have reported poor
results from the change.
Much information has been gather
ed and distributed in regard to the
best methods of handling sheep on
the farms and the great benefits to
be derived from keeping them has
been urged. It is not known definitely
that the agriculturalist has been di-
rectly responsible for any being Sc
cured.
Marketing
Material assistance was given in
the organization Of the cooperative
creamery at Prosser, which has been
a decided success. The movement
was not started by the county agricul-
turalist, except that the possibilities

calves were saved. A number OF good
heifer calves have been purchased out
side of the county and brought in since
the purchasers were convinced that
large supply of milk was not essential
to raise good calves. Upon request,
the agriculturalist has also selected
number of calves which promise to be
good dairy cows. Not less than Is
farmers have asked for help because
they were losing SO many calves with
scours. Since the farms were visited
or detailed information given else
where, reports have been received
from nearly all of them. With only
one exception, the method was report
ed entirely successful and effective.
Some of the farmers reported that
previous to obtaining the information.
on how to handle the calves, the scours
had caused the loss of good share
of those raised for several months.
One of the farmers referred to raises
high class registered calves.
A good many farmers have applied
for information on how to handle the
cows that would not conceive. After
following out the detailed instructions
given them, more than sixty per cent
have reported the method successful.
Prevention of the Spread of Con-
tagi0us Diseases
Ordinarily, it costs the farmer from
So to SIS to get his cows tested for tu-
berculosis. The exact cost depends
on the number of cows in the herd.
By getting a number of farmers to
sign up their cows for this test at the
same time we were able to get state
veterinarian, at state expense, to
make these tests. The proposition was
taken up at meetings and with farm
ers in private interviews. Before the
close of the year GIT cows were sign
ed up. Three hunderd thirteen of these
have now been tested at no expense to
the Individual farmer. IF the farmers
had hired this testing done individual
ly it would have cost more than 1926.
It would have cost them this amount
if several cows had been in each place.
The fact is, in many cases there were
only two or three.
Contagious abortion appeared in
some Of the dairy herds. According
to some Of. the owners, every calf had
been lost for several months. This
means, operating dairy at heavy
loss for at least two or three years.
IF a number Of cows ceased to breed
after the disease had run its course,
which is usually the case, the loss is
still greater. This matter was taken
up with the extension department Of
the state college. The assistance Of
veterinarian was secured at no ex-
pense to Benton county. Ae series Of
ten demonstrations were arranged for

DEALERS N LUMBER
PAY MERCHANTS TAX
Mr.. Garnett. OF State Tax Board. Gives
Opinion For Benefit OF
Review Board.

Persons buying and selling dressed
lumber. on which they have done no
wook. are. under an opinion delivered
! by G. B. Garrett. executive assistant
Of the State Tax Board, required to
pay a merchants icenoe tax The
opinion rendered by Mr.. Garnett yes
terday in reply to the question. raised
by Allen l. Hairless, chairman OF the
local board of review. at Christians
burg. reads:
On account of my absence from the
city l have not replied to your letter
of the 12th instant. In which you re-
quest an opinion as to whether
manufacturer of lumber who also
buys dressed lumber. which H. sells in
the State in which 1t was bought and
without doing any work thereon,
should be required to take out a mer-
chants license for the purchase and
sale of such dressed lumber.
The answer to this query involves
the proper construction OF sections
45-46 of the Virginia Tax Laws. 1916.
I pages $3.50 An examination OF these
sections will disclose the fact that the
/ question resolves itself to whether
dressed lumber may be considered
goods. wares and merchandise under
| the use OF the terms in those sections
J and under the ordinary acceptation of
merchandise in our statutes and laws.
! Some light is thrown upon this sub
ject by the provisions of section ~
OF the tax bill. as amended by acts
1915, page 1913 Virginia Tax Laws
1915. page 66), which reads In part
as follows:
/ Every railroad company or other
incorporated company in this Com
sa. IL tl
granted In it's charter or not, which
shall sell any mineral or forest pro-
duct. or any other article. shall be
taxed as other merchants dealing in
| like comm ODDITIES. But nothing
In the foregoing shall be construed as
requiring a company selling the pro-
ducts of their own mines. or lands, or
manufacture to pay merchants
license for so doing. but any such
company selling its product at a
definite place OF business apart from
| its mine. land, or place OF manufac-
ture, shall pay the merchants license
tax as provided by law"
You will note that under the terms
OF the above section 1t is required that
every railroad company or other in
/ corporated company which sells any
mineral or forest product or any other
article shall be taxed as merchants
dealing In like commodities. Thus We
have within eur own tax laves the use
Of the term forest product" shown x
that the General Assembly considers
forest products as A part OF a mer-
chants goods, wares and merchandise.
Ii would seem 10 he clear. therefore,
that a person who buys and sells
dressed lumber should be required TO
take out merchants license under
sections 46-4s of the tax bill IL he
sells the same without doing any
work thereon or changing the form
thereof. See wealth VS. Max.
