WORK FOR NEW
TAX COMMISSION

The passage by the Senate of the
tax commission bill came at the same
time with the announcement of this
years returns showing the taxable
value of property in Missouri. The
returns indicate that the Commission
will have plenty to do when it gets to
work.
One is struck with the statement.
for instance, that the real estate in
the towns Of Missouri is worth $780,
100000 more than the real estate in
the country, the total real estate valu-
alton being about $1,345, 100000. Mis-
souri, is not distinctively a State with
an urban population. There are many
more cities with population of 49,
600 and upwards in Michigan than
there are in Missouri, and Michigan
is the smaller State in population and
area. Anyone may think that the two
valuations are not properly related,
but this is matter upon which Mis-
souri, wants to be shown. That is
what the Commission will be for.
Another striking fact shown by the
returns is that the taxable value of
money, bonds and notes in the State
is S118,000,000. Is there anybody in
this day of industrial expansion who
believes that figure expresses the
truth? A brief study of the advertis-
ing columns of The Republic will show
that more securities than that have
been ocered in st. Louis within no
very extended period in the immedi-
ate past. Such offerings have been
made for years, and the securities |
have been absorbed, but they have not
paid taxes.
In this particular matter an unjust
tax law is principally to blame, but
we need the commission to handle the
problem, and the Legislature is to be
congratulated on good piece of work
accomplished by the passage of the
)ill.-St. Louis Renublic.

ORCHARD WILL RE-
SPOND TO SPRAYING

That orchards respond to care has
been demonstrated repeatedly. In
spite of the fact, however, many farm
ers expect their trees to bear fruit
without any attention whatever. K
IS just as important to care for trees
as it is for animals. A highly produc-
tive tree is no more capable of shift
ing for itself and competing with its
enemies than an animal, yet farmers
will take better care of their live
stock than they do of their trees sim
ply because they can more readily see
the effect of neglect on an animal than
on tree.
The Missouri College of Agriculture
recommends orchard spraying for two
purposes: first, to save the orchard
from scale; and second, to save the
fruit crop from insects and fruit di-
seases. Altho it is a little late to
spray for scale, badly infested or
chards may still be sprayed with lime
sulphur solution if application is made
at once. 1t is too late to use sprays
at scale strength after the leaves are
out. Concentrated lime-sulphur solu-
ton mixed with eight parts of water
is recommended. Summer sprays, at
best, only help to check the pest.
Strong sprays when the trees are dor
mant are necessary for saving the or
chard from scale. Orchardists who
are not sure that their trees are in I
Tested or who are not sure that they
are clean, may send samples of twigs
to the College of Agriculture for ex-
Prompt action must also be taken
if the fruit is to be saved this year. 1t
will soon be time for the one impor-
tant spray of fruit diseases, Just as
the buds burst, showing the unopened
blossoms. Never spray when the
trees are in bloom. The all important
spray for the apple worm, just after
most blossoms are off, will follow
his cluster spray. A spray composed

'entrated lime-sulphur and two

You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result from cold weather.
That is rank foolishness. Were it
true colds would be as prevalent in
midsummer as in mid-winter. The
microbe that causes colds fiourishes

a cold take Chamberlain's Cough Rem

used it for many years as occasion
required, and know its real value. OBJ

A good meeting was held at Liber-
tyville Thursday night. The Sub-bu-
reau at that place reorganized with
Mr.: p. A. Cashion as president. An
orchard demonstration was planned on
the farm of Mr.. J. S. Graham. one
half mile east of Libertyville. The
first demonstrations pruning dem
onstration-will be conducted Wednes-
day of this week. Spraying demon
strations will follow as the dates for
spraying come. The spraying work
will be conducted under the supervi-
sion of an orchard specialist from the
State Extension service. We expect
to locate one of these orchard demon
strations in every community that de-
sires the work and where sufficient
interest is shown in orchard work to
justify 1t. The work will be for the
beneht of the entire community, but
Will be conducted on only one orchard
In each community. The farmers who
attend these demonstrations will cas-
lily learn how to do their own SPRAY

IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS

1t does not apear to be generally
known in this city that the Sunshine
Special, the fast train on the Iron
Mountain, receives passengers at
Bismarck for all points south where
that train stops. 1t has been doing
this for the past year. This train
reaches Bismarck about $40 D. m.
This obviates the necessity of going to
st. Louis in order to make long trips
west or south.

Girls Club Work.
Twenty-one thousand, five hundred
J thirty-two boys and girls in Indiana
completed home projects in connec.
ton with their school work in agricul-
ture last year. Their products were
worth Sl80,331.93, and their net profit
was $123,654.49. Is not this achieve
ment itself sufficient evidence that
the home project method of teaching
agriculture is the best method.
Indiana has just issued a bulletin
telling a great dear about their boys
and girls club work. Copies of this
bulletin may be had by writing to the
