THIN CULTIVATION is URGED
Loose Soil Serves as Mulch and Con-
serves Moisture-One Way Of
Farming at Loss.

Water moves slowly through a loose
soil and loose soil will, therefore,
serve as mulch and conserve moist
ure. This is one Of the reasons for
shallow cultivation. Killing weeds,
putting the land in better physical
condition and furnishing modes OF
entrance for oxygen and nitrogen
are other reasons. Failure to culti-
vate properly Is one way OF farm
ing at a loss. Full particulars a.
to the best cultural methods for any
crop may be obtained by applying to
your local demonstration agent or to

Because the report OF the internal
revenue commissioners shows an In.
crease In the revenue from distilled
spirits the liquor interests are using
II to bolster up their Set argument,
Prohibition does not prohibit"
The reason for this increase II
found. not In the greater consumption
Of whisky by the people of the United
States. but in various changing condi-
lions here and abroad. One Of these
is set forth by the secretary Of the
treasury In the following statement !:
Notwithstanding the spread of pro-
hibition, collections on distilled spirits
for the first ten months Of the fiscal
year showed an increase over the COR
responding period Of q year ago. This
Is due In great measure to the effec:
tive enforcement of the internal rev.
enue tax on distilled spirits. It In
estimated that through the campaigns
Of the treasury department against
undergauging. equalizipg and blockad-
ing in distilleries, the revenue Of the
government has been increased by
probably 100000 annually"
A further explanation is that the
large quantity Of spirits shipped from
this country to Africa to take the
place Of the British product now
barred from shipment because Of the
European war. II counted in the Nm
creased consumption" During the
year ending June 80. 1915, exports
amounted to 1858 900 gallons; during
the nine months. July, 1915. to March.
1916. 5.S5O.O00 gallons were exported.
Then again there has been a steady
decrease In the supply Of imported
liquors due to difficulties of transpor-
tation. Some Of the foreign distillers
and the taxes on their output are now
added to the internal revenue Of the
United States.
Other reasons might be e.ven, but
these suffice to show how alert the
liQuorites are to seize upon any appar-
ent advantage furnished by figures and
how prone the public is to arrive ut
hasty conclusions. 1t is not within
the province of the internal revenue
department to interpret its report or
TO explain where or how the ta1-paid
liquor is actually used.
If the brewers and distillers believe
what they are loudly claiming, that
the internal revenue reports prove
that more liquor is sold under prohibit
ton than under license. we shall find
them this fall lining up with the drys !;
we shall find them during the anti
election campaign working and spend
ing their millions TO make six more
states and the territory of Alaska dry.
