EDITORIAL

This issue carries the Grand Jury
Report ard the Criminal and Civil
Docket of Circuit Court held last
week. This cleans up the news on
such court. We assume that its
pretty generally known by now that
no indictment was found in the
George Cowart murder case though
the Grand Jury combed that again.
No harm is done for it to have
Leaked" out that such is the status
as no murderer is allowed chance
to escape service by such information
as there are no warrants to serve in
that connection Regarding that
clause in the Grand Jury report,
recommending that the Supervisors
'readveftise for bids for county de-
pository and that the Judge in
hearing such report asked that the
county newspaper be requested to
make comment thereon. The Herald
expressed Itself regarding such char
acter of matters in a recent editorial
about Perry county advertising fol
a depository hence we refrain from
further comment until the supervi-
sors meet next month and have a
chance to act upon such recommen-
datlon or to ignore it as the case may
be.

OF Public Monies.

New Augusta News.
The Greene County Herald, always
conservative aud reliable, has The
following to say regarding Perry
County's 5000, 600 Bond Issue anC
road building project:
Perry County has advertised
for county depository in which
to keep toe 5000, 900 Highway
bonds money which they have Sc
cured. Their series OF bonds are
twice the amount OF Greene's and
run twice the period of ours, that
is instead of for twenty years they
run for forty years. Too great
care cannot be exercised by the
supervisors in seeing that such a
large sum Of money Tor which the
respective couu ties are mortgaging
posterity, is kept safely and well
in strict requirement TO the law
governing such matters. OF course
the home bank should ALWAYS be
given the preference providing the
conditions are met. The Herald
hopes that every county which has
made such road bond will not only
have their monies safely handled
but realize the accorded interest on
It from the repositories as the time
slips off in order that same will ac-
cumulate against interest coupons
when cllrplng day rolls round with
the bond holders.

Better Farming in the South
WHAT THE CROPS ARE ASKING FOR
Down
While Increasing Yields

bear in mind that the best way he can
| fight the boil weevil is to force his
cotton to a quick growth and to an
| early maturity. Many farmers In the
boil weevil district, are finding that
peanuts and soy beans are splendid
substitutes for cotton. Unless these
crops are well fertilized, however, with
the fertilizer carrying high percentage
of phosphate. good yields cannot be
expected.
How to Tell What Is Necessary
mine the element most needed in his
fertilizer by noting the manner Of
growth of cotton on his different soil
types. When the growth Is slow and
the plants have a yellow, unhealthy
look, nitrogen (or ammonia) should be
applied in rather large amounts. II.
however, the plants look vigorous, but
are not fruiting well, phosphoric acid
should be used literally.
Generally speaking, for poor soils, the
most important element of fertilizer
is nitrogen, and the next most import
ant is PHOSPHORUS. Therefore, for
poor soils we would recommend under
present war conditions, which makes
potash scarce, fertilizer for cotton
! and corn Analysing about per cent
available phosphoric acid and 3 per
cent ammonia and per cent potash.
For peanuts IL per cent phosphoric
acid, per cent ammonia and per
cent potash. For fertile soils we would
recommend for cotton and corn, fer
tilizer analyzing II per cent available
phosphoric acid. 2 per cent ammonia
and per cent potash, and for peanuts,
fertilizer Analysing IL per cent phos-
| phoric acid, / IL per cent ammonia
| and 2 per cent potash. For the sandy
loan soils of the coastal plain, pot
ash is the most essential and for to-
bacco and truck crops must be applied
in liberal amounts.
The reason that nitrogen or ammo
mia is so necessary an element for prac-
tically all soils is because the nitrates
are soluble in water, and are, there
fore, constantly teaching out of the
land The farmers should try to store
up as much nitrogen in the soil as
possible by growing such crops al
beans, peas, clover, vetches, etc, which
plants add nitrogen to the soil from
the atmosphere. Practically all soils
of the South are well adapted to the
growing of these legumes.
If, however, crops are grown in ro-
tation with legumes, 1t will still be
necessary to use commercial forms Of
nitrogen to obtain the best results.
| While nitrogen is the main element of
fertilizer, on poor land phosphorie
acid is the most essential and In prac-
tically all Of the tests that have been
made in the South, better results have
been obtained with soluble phosphoric
acid than with finely ground phosphate
rocks or floats.

UNIVERSITY LETTER.
INCOME TAX.

CONTINUED FROM LAST ISSUE.
Ia James Warsaw Bell. B. p, NJ. A.. Professor
OF Economics and Political Science
University, Miss, May 10, 1915
Since the general property tax is
so unsatisfactory il so manv ways,
as is shown both by theory ard by
the experience of States, it has be-
come necessary TO find substitute.
The one uniformly hit upon is the
income fax
Let il be remembered that every tax
system must have an elastic element.
We saw that the general property
tax failed mere. There are certain
effects which accompany raising of
the ad vaiorem tax rate, which rem
der it hardly advisable to resort to
this expsdlent to increase the reve-
nue. 10 meet an emergency.
The same objections do not apply to
the tax on incomes. While it is
true that any KIND of d tax is in the
main paid out of income there are
exceptions to his and where they ex-
st, there is great hardship.
The income tax comes nearer fulfill
Our idea of justice than does any
other form OF tax The three usual
forms of measuring ability are, as |
have stated in previous letter, the
ad yalorem general property lax, a
consumption tax, and the income
tax
Our idea of just tax is no longer
that it shall tax all alike or proper
tiunatelv. A tax on consumption is
taxing ;he poor on necessities as 1t
does the rich on the Inquiries. The
practical difficulties of so planning "a
tax on consumption so as to meas
ure ability, are so great and so APP
parent as to make it unnecessary to
discuss them here There are diff
culties connected with the admins
tration of the income tax. In the
first case comes the difficulty of
/
ascertainiug mans income. 1t is
easy to falsify 10 the tax statement
and difficult to show the falsity OF
the statement. The same objections

differentiation and concealment are
quite common. It is really pitlable
how cheaply most Of our homes are
furnished. ] then the income tax is
objected to because it is said to be
induisitional Almost all taxes
are. The general property assess
ment is as inquistiona as is the as
sessment of incomes. It might be
advisable TO keep secret the Income

under competitive conditions in ord
err to protect man in his bu 'iness.

Cotton Fertilizer Problem
With the present price of cotton and
other farm products, 1t will pay the
farmer to give more attention this
Spring to the problems of soil build
ing and to the intelligent use of fer
tilizers than ever before Some of
the best farmers of the South have
adopted the plan of returning to the
soil in fertilizers, the money received
from all or part of their cottonseed.
This is good plan and should be
more generally adopted.
Enough Plant Food for Best Yields
1t. takes from 300 pounds to 400
pounds Of fertilizer to make a good
weed in cotton, or a good stalk in
corn, and unless amounts above these
are used, full returns cannot be ex-
pected because large amounts must be
applied to produce the fruit and the
gra n.
: ne amount of fertilizer that can
be used profltably will vary with the
dinerent soil types, seasons and with
the different crops grown. The most
important factor, however, governing
the amount of fertilizer that can be
used with profit is the price Of the
article produced. At the present price
of cotton, it will pay to use on most
of the soil types of the South larger
amounts of fertilizer than heretofore.
To Meet Boil WeeviI Situation
When grown under boil weevil con-
ditions, cotton should be literally fer
tilted and this fertilizer should con-
tain large percentage Of phosphoric
acid, which ingredient hastens its ma
turity. A fertilizer containing an am
pie supply of ammonia should also be
used to start the plant off quickly in
its growth. The farmer must ever

Use Glass lars To Offset Can Shortage

Home q Farm, Louisville, Ky.
More home canning is beng done
on southern farms this year than dur
ing any previous season, and at this
critical time there develops short
age of cans which has sent the price
soaring and in many localities made
it absolutely Impossible to secure
cans at any price. Many manufac-
turers and jobbers have Withdrawn
all price schedules, and some of them
have already announced that they
cannot make further deliveries of
cans. In this case buy glass jars.
They can be used successfully in any
home Gamer, and at present prices
they are somewhat more economical
Than cans because they can be refilled
after they are emptied. Don't let
the present price OF cans and jars
prevent you from doing your own
canning. All food products are sure
to be high next winter, and you will
save double the price in grocery bills
by putting up for winter use all the
foodstutf you can produce yourself
GA your own farm.

Unite Socialists Against Germany
New York. June 10, 1917.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The working of the minds of some Of
the members of the Socialist party is beyond
the comprehension of the ordinary indi-
vidua Assuming their motives are not pro-
German. what advantage to the cause can
they hope for by aiding German sutocracy 10
gain its ends?
Whether they realize it or not, that is ex-
actly what they are doing by their obstruct-
i've tactics.
II seems to me they would be doing far
better work if they started a campaign to
unite the socialist and labor elements Of
America, and Allied countries and neutrals
also, in declaration to the workers ri
Germany and Austria that unless they refuse
to support their governments in prosecuting
the war the workers of America and other
countries would after the war proclaim a
boycott against German and Austrian goods,
refusing 10 handle and transport all raw
materials and manufactured articles of those
countries. A. J. SKINNER.

Driving the Idle to Work

From The Buffalo Inquirer
Among the war laws of West Virginia is
one which requires every able bodied male
resident Of the state between the ages OF
sixteen and sixty to engage habitually and
regularly in some lawful, useful and recog-
nized business, profession, occupation or en-
ployment whereby he may produce or earn
sufficieAt TO support himself and those legal
ly dependent upon him.
By this law able-boded residents, except
students during school terms, who fail to
be so engaged at least thirty-six hours a
week shall be held 10 be vagrants and guilty
of misdemeanor. On conviction, they shall
be fined not more than 800 for each offence
or set to work for not more than sixty days
on the roads or some other public work
One half the fair valuation of the vagrant's
labor shall be paid to his dependents, but,
if he has no one legally dependent on him,
no payment shall be made on account Of his
labor.
The most interesting feature of this law,
however, is its provision for the idle rich.
The law DEGREES that in no case shall the
possession by the accused of money, prop
erty or income sufficient TO support himself
and his dependents be a defence to any
prosecution.
