PRESIDENT HANDS OFF

Indications now are that President Will son will leave the problem to the ways and means committee and will not find it necessary to make recommendations to Congress to cover the situation.
 Estimates as to the revenue to be de- rived by placing tariff duties on virtually everything on the free list are in the committees hands From these estimates the committee hopes to evolve a revenue bill which may include a number of the chief articles imported and omit many others.
 Original proposals under consideration involved placing an additional tariff of from 4 to 1a a cent 8 pound on sugar and from 3 to , per cent of the value of wool, rubber and coffee. Customs of ficials recommend strongly that the tariff if imposed, be made specific rather than ad valorem, as the collection of ad va lorem tariffs brings complexities lacking in the case of specific duties. If specific, to 5 per cent tariff on wool would amount to from 4-5 of a cent to 1A cents a pound on rubber approximately from ? to 3 cents, and on coffee from 4 to F cent. ~e
 ADDITIONAL REVENUE
 Importations of sugar for the last a year were approximately $500 00O, ,OO

q RlICLES ELIMINATED

The chief remaining articles on the free list not eliminated by the policy of non- disturbance of such big industries as the iron and steel trade, included cocoa, drugs undressed furs and skins, meats, oils, po- tatoes, silk and tea. Other articles on the free list understood to have been vir- tually eliminated from consideration are copper and iron ore, leather and steel products, such as rails A host of minor articles also are on the free list and on these estimates have been furnished the committee, showing the amount of reve- nue which small tariff duties would yield
 Additional sources of revenue under consideration by the committee include articles on which the internal revenue bureau collects an excise tax, notably tobacco Tobacco already is under heavy excise and tariff taxes, but some offi- cials feel that considerably more reve- nue could be raised by imposing additional taxes which would not add appreciably to the cost to the consumer

TREES FOR FARM wlNpsREAks

The election of the proper var

Importance. Many trees have
been used that are not al all suit
able for windbrcaks. Practical
ly all North Dakota windbrraks
should ci'.'sisn mos-lN Of grsetl
ash and some variety of willow.
These trees are fairly rapid grow
rrs. are fairly long lived and
quit" generally free from insect
pests. For quick effects q few
ROWS of box elders or poplars
may b" planted between the rows
Of ash.
Some American elm. hackbrrry
red and burr oak, black walnut
and whit" birch trees may he us
"d in tn" inner rows to add var
.i"iy and a greater degree of per-
nlannlrr to the wind,lpak. The
very innrrlnoSt row should be of
som" low growing material such
as fh" buffalo berry or wild plum.
so as to shut out the light from
the side as the trees grow taller.
'Ih" outer rows should alaways
be willows.
Evergreen frees, except Tor
their slow grnWth are the most
ideal trees for windlrcaks. Sew
rral rows of them can be plant
cd inside ihr regular wintlhrcak
The best kinds to use are the Bull
or p"nd"rosa pine, he Jack pine
and tI" Black Hills spruce. II
proper care is exercised when
planting evergreen trees so as not
to expose the roots to the air.
there should b" no trouble in grow
ing them.

breeders want hogs with strong
desc bones. Since cereal grains
are low if mineral elements. they
should be supplemented by feeds
rich in these constituents.
When confined in yards hogs
are often bed largely or entirely

bones are soft and easily broken.

Nutrition studies collected by the
Bureau of Grand Forks prove that
cereals alone will not produce nor

and corn with soybeans produced
the least bone. Rations of corn
supplemented by tankage and by
Skim-milk produced the mos!
bone.
Because Of their high protein
