so PER CENT OF
PRICE IN TAXES
stove Manufactures Clearly Shows
How Government Adds To
Retail Costs.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-How income, ex-
cess profits and other federal taxes
have increased prices is shown in a
graphic way by Stanhopc Boal, presi-
dent of a stove and range company
in Piqua, o.
Boal in statement made here to-
day shows that 80 per cent of the
retail price of kitchen stove is due
to taxes. He says this was the con-
clusion reached after an extensive
study of the question by expert ac-
countants employed by his concern.
IAN average, medium priced range,
selling to the consumer for S120, rep
resents taxes to the extent of $36," is
Boal's statement. This covers at least
40 applications of taxes from raw
1.-THE concern that. mines its own
material to the finished product.
iron ore pays six different taxes, as
do ali corporations, as follows; in
come tax and excess profit tax, feder-
ale capital stock tax, three per cent
war tax on freight, state capital stock
tax, state and county tax, city or mu-
nicipal tax.
How Taxes Are Paid.
"Those six different taxes are paid
in turn by the transportation COM
pany hauling the ore from mines to
blast furnaces; the blast furnace that
makes the pig iron; the transporta-
ton company carrying the pig iron
to the stove or range manufacturer;
the company transporting the range
from manufacturer to dealer; and
the retail dealer making the final sale
to the consumer. This makes seven
repetitions of the six forms of taxa
ton, or AZ in all. If jobbing COM
pany or wholesaler is used in distri-
button, the total is increased to As.
These conditions in the stove and
range industry are parralleled in all
other forms of manufacturing.
In the last financial year the pres
ent administration collected $780,
100000 in taxes, or 1915 for every
family of five in the United States.
Mr.. Boal's statement shows how
most of this tax money eventually
came out of the consumer.

Hot Water Treatment for Smut


In many instances loose smut, or
as it is generally known to farmers,
blasted heads Of wheat, cause con-
siderable loss. AS it does not affect
the quality of the grain the losses are
not appreciable, but sometimes they
range as high as 10 per cent.
Loose smut cannot be controlled
by formalin or bluestone treatment
as the smut spore has terminated and
grown into the seed and it exists
there as tiny smut plant. 1t can be
destroyed only by treatment known
as the modified hot water treatment.
This treatment is rather difficult to
give, and it is too expensive for the
treatment of seed for the entire
crop. 1t is practical. however, to use
it in treating enough seed for a seed
plot. The treatment is as follows:
Soak the wheat in cold water for 4
to hours, but not more than hours.
Then dip for a moment in water at
a temperature of 100 degrees. Then
transfer to water at 129 degrees and
leave for 10 minutes. Dip imme-
diately in cold water; then spread
and dry. Use about a half bushel of
wheat each time, and put in a basket
or coarse sack. Have a thermometer
and arrange so that the water can be
kept at the exact temperature indi-
Gated. In no case should the tenn
perature exceed 1873 degrees and then
the time of treatment should be re-
duced. Some grain will be injured
and it is best to sow about 25 per
cent more of the treated seed. Treat
only enough for a special seed patch.
AS loose smut is carried by the wind
for a considerable distance the seed
patch should be separate field some
distance from the main wheat field. |

Apply Acii Phosphate on Wheat Crop

On all the soils in Kentucky out
side of the Blue Grass region, wheat
responds to acid phosphate treatment
very remarkably. Fortunately, the
wheat crop is the most convenient
place in a rotation TO apply acid
phosphate, as it can be applied thru
the fertilizer distributing attachment
on the wheat drill with a small
amount of extra labor. Apply the
acid phosphate at the rate of from
200 to 800 pounds per acre and the
succeeding clover and com or other
crops will be benefited also.

Cowpeas Make Good Dishes As Sub
stitutes For Meat.

COwpcas Make Good Dishes AS sub
stitutes For Meat.
Cowpeas have a pleasing flavor as
well as a high nutritive value. Dried
cowpeas used for cooking should be
soaked for IL hours. AS they are
apt TO ferment they should be kept
in cool place during the soaking
period.
The following recipes for their use
are recommended by the Home Econ
omics Kitchen Of the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture:
Cream AT Cowpea Soup.
/ tablespoon butter.
i tablespoon flour.
2 cups milk.
! teaspoon sugar.
1 cup cowpeas (green or dried)
A few drops onion Juice.
Salt.
Melt the butter, add the flour, and
cook thoroughly, being careful not to
brown it. Add the milk and bring
the mixture to the boiling point. Put
the peas through sieve; add peas
and seasonings to the milk and re-
heat II too thick, add milk or wa
ter. Serve with croutons made by
heating buttered bread in the oven
until it is brown, and cutting it into
small pieces.
Hopping John.
Soak quart of dried co wpeas over
night in water enough to cover. Cook
until ;hey are tender with onc-half
pound of salt pork sliced thin; add
more water if necessary, and several
slcies Of onion toward the close of
the cooking process. Cook PIN of
rice in pints of water, mix the two,
season with tablespoons of butter
and . teaspoons of salt. A beef bone
may be used instead of the salt pork,
but in that case the salt must be dou-
bled and tablespoons of butter may
be added.
Baked COwpeas and Cheese
1 tablespoon butter.
tablespoon finely chopped onion.
1 tablespoon finely chopped sweet
green pepper.
2 cups of cooked cOwpeas.
u cup grated cheese.
Press the peas thru a sieve to re-
move the skins, and mix with the
cheese. Cook the onion and pepper
in the butter, being careful not to
brown, and add them to the peas and |
cheese. Form the mixture into
roll, place on a buttered earthern-
ware dish and cook in moderate ov-
en- until brown, basting occasionally
with butter and water. Serve hot or
cold as substitute for meat.
