No Farmers Strike

A strike of the farmers would un-
doubtedly be a terrible thing. az
the memorial of the four large farm
ers' organizations points out to Con
gress. But discussion of such Il
contingency is wholly academic.
The farmer will not strike. if for no
other reason than that he cannot.

Real Estate Tellers and Dealers
Had Better Witch Their Steps

G. L. Donald. Collector OF In
ternal Revenue, has given notice
that an examination of the Chan
Gerry Clerks records of sales of real
estate in 1919 is to be made, and
if property was sold for more than
its market value March /. 1918, or
more than its cost If purchased SUBJ
sequent to that date. such excess
must be returned as income in 1919.
1t is immaterial whether all cash"
was received or not. Income can
be cash or it's equivlent. If you ac-
cepted part cash. gave a warranty
deed. and received notes secured by
a deed of trust on the property for
the balance. all the profit must be
returned in the year i'm which the
deal was closed.
Many property owners sold their
homes in 1919 at big advance
over a fair market value March l.
1918, or its subsequent cost. All
excess is income,
If current reports are true. dealers
in farm lands in certain sections of
the state are making dates with
Collector Donald to see what part
of their big profits belong to Uncle
Sam.
Several ex-chancery clerks of the
state have been appointed deputy
collectors to hunt up income tax
dodgers in real estate trades.
The still hunt" for dodgers"
will not start until the last day of
grace is up. Better be wise and
make a return and include all profit
before March 15, and save a heavy,
sure and certain penalty.

Would Gag at the nomination

The Weekly reproduces the
article printed below in order that
all of its readers may get line
on Herb. Hoover, the man who
fishes to become President of the
United States on any old ticket
that will land him in the White
House. Though Mr.. Hoover
has never voted in this country.
he wants the American people
to vote for him for the highest
office in the world.
If MIR. Hoover should land the
Democratic Presidential nomina-
ton at the San Francisco Con
venti0n. thousands of Democrat
ic voters would gag at the nom
ination and become bewildered
at the change that has reversed
the old-time standards of the
Democratic party.
Under the caption of Herb.
Hoover Has Spoken" the Co
lumbus Dispatch says:
Herb. Hoover has broken his
Sphinx silence and unburdened
himself as to the presidency. Herb.
is not a candidate for the presidency
and ought never to be.
Neither is he Republican or
Democrat until the parties in con-
vention declare their platforms. and
then he will let the waiting Ameri-
can people know where he stands.
Frightful, to have to wait so long.
But Herb. has said where he
stands on some things. He is in
favor of the ratification Of the
Treaty. with such amendments as
will insure to US all our rights, and
he will support the party which in
corporates such a plank in its plat
form. He's a Republican and a
Democrat i'm this.
But he is opposed to the demor-
alization of industry. as declared
for by President Wilson, and it
seems he is a Democrat here.
THE truth is, old Herb, is fioun-
dering around like most big pro-
moters, waiting for the issues to
clarity; then he will jump on some
band wagon-if he can.
The Dispatch has about as good
an opinion of old Herb. as it has OF
any globe trotting advertiser. but
for President-never! We want
some man whose permanent ad
dress is America-not London-and
who for the past twenty-five years
has spent his life serving his own
country and not exploiting others.
He's not good enough Democrat or
Republican to receive the nomina-
ton of either party and he is not
good enough American to merit the
votes of either.
America wants an American for |
President, with national instinct
inbred and developed by years Of
association with Americans; with |
sympathies broadened by close
study of all her needs. Hoover has |
been a corporation server all his
life. and he is certainly unsuited to |
Americas needs now"

SUDAN GRASS Is
IMPORTANT CROP!
Now Being Successfully Grown
In Nearly All Parts of the
United States.
HAS SHORT GROWING SEASON
Gaining Popularity Because Of Its
Ability to Produce Fair Yield Of
Hay Under Conditions Of
Low Rainfall.

Ten years after its introduction to
the United States from Khartum, Afri-
ca, Sudan grass was being success
fully grown In nearly all parts of the
United States. 1t does not serve well
either as money crop" or a soil i'm
proven. hence II may never find a
permanent place in regular crop rota-
lions. 1t has, nevertheless, very i'm
portant place in the farmers second
line Of defense as a catch crop which
can be planted to give satisfactory
returns when conditions have brought
failure to other hay crops. This is
the verdict pronounced by the United
States department of agriculture In
Farmers Bulletin 1126 recently IS
sued.
Sudan grass is replacing millet as
the premier catch crop in many local
tiles because of Its ability to produce
fair yield and a high quality Of
hay under conditions of low rainfall I;
its rather short growing season, and
its ability to thrive on a wide range
Of soil types. Large yields Of Sudan
grass are obtained only on good soils,
but the grass fails completely only on
cold, poorly drained land.
Sudan Grass Produces Heavily.
In California under irrigation Sudan
grass has made yields of 9S tons Of
fieldcured hay an acre, when alfalfa
produced but S.3 tons under like con-
ditions; it ordinarily yields about the
same as alfalfa under irrigation in
the Southwest, but Sudan grass gives
its full crop in three cuttings against
the four or five required for alfalfa.
1t is the only grass yet found which
In this part of the United States ranks
as the equal of alfalfa in point of
yield and quality of the hay. It's rec
ord in this respect has led to It's use
in patching" old alfalfa fields when
the stand Of alfalfa has been de-
strOyed. In the southern great plains
where there is low rainfall Sudan
grass grown without irrigation will
yield from one to three tons of hay to
the acre.
There are certain parts Of the
United States where the department
of agriculture considers 1t unwise to
depend on Sudan grass for hay. This
is true of the strip of territory 200
miles wide along the northern
boundary: the regions of high alti-
