pastured after the leaves are eaten

acre. Swine should not be turned In

TWO States suppIy sulphur.

sulphur now produced in the United
States comes from deposits in Louis
lana and Texas, according to the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, but deposits
of sulphur that have been or might be
productive occur In Wyoming, Nevada
Utah, California, Colorado, Oregon,
and Alaska. Louisiana and Texas ap.

states, although the production has
not been vigorously pushed, has SO
greatly exceeded the amount sold that
large stocks of sulphur have been ac-

fans probably will have to pay base

Magnates in all leagues are bend
ing their energies toward the enact
ment of a federal law which will re-
auire the payment of a stamp tax
before a fan passes the gate. They
claim the requirement of tax on a
clubs gross receipts, as has been
suggested would ruin many clubs.
Baseball in fact would have to go
out of business in some sections.
President Tener of the National
league is one supporter of the plan
10 tax single admissions.
Intelligent consideration OF the
proper method of taxation Tener
said today, "sy which clubs might
continue to operate and at the same
time provide the largest revenue for
the government would result in a
tax on each admission or the net re-
ceipts.
The better Judgment of congress
when it understands the nature of
our business will show the right way.
It is pointed out by many baseball
men including Ed G. Barrows, presi-
dent of the International league, that
a tax on gross receipts would be I'M
fair. Some clubs, it is believed,
would be absolutely unable to stand
such a burden and would be forced
to close their gates.
