1t is conceded also by all reasonable
people that the tax burdens of many
American cities contain factors which
represent conditions not found here.
and that in estimating the equitable e
tax burden of the Washingtonian the
sums representing these factors may
be eliminated. since its government
by Congress, under national safe
guards. prevents graft and renders
unnecessary and unfair any compul-
sorry local tax contribution to meet
expenses of this character. There are
also certain expenses Of sustaining
states which do not need to be raised
by Washington. since II is denied all
representative government, and which
ought not to be duplicated in figuring
it's equitable tax burden. 1t is con-

that the few among comparable cities
which exceed II in tax burden exceed

which ought to bear and are able to
bear a far heavier burden fall below

are employed which in effect imply

Spray Your Garden
to Kill Plant Enemies
E. E. RICE, GARDEN SUPERVISOR.

Is your garden bothered by aphids,
sucking insects which affect beans and
cucumbers, by eating insects such as
the potato bug and the cabbage worm,
or by scabs or blight?
In the first case, use BLACK leaf
forty" or some other nicotine mixture,
says +. +. Rice, garden SUPERVISOR;
in the second case spray with arsen-
ate Of lead, in the third with bordeaux
mixture.
Rice advocates the purchase of a
small spray pump such as can be
bought at the stores for less than
dollar Any preparation can be ad-
ministered through il. and it will prob
ably save its cost in the saving OF the
preparations, he says.
He warns gardeners to be on the
lookout for the potato bug, and the
potato scab, which appears in small
brownish dead spots on the leaves.
Formulas follow:
/. For sucking insects-aphids or
plant lice: Use nicotine sulphate
/ solution. This consists Of Nicotine
! Sulphate, Y OF; Laundry Soap, Il OF;
Water gallons.
2. Eating Insects-Use Arsenate of
Lead. Use 1 OF. of Arsenate of Lead
powder or two ounces of paste TO six
quarts of water. If desired TO use dry,
mix one ounce of powder with three
ounces of air-slacked lime, dry road
DUST or ashes finely sifted.
8. Potato BHght-The early blight
is indicated by brown spots with con-
centric rings in the leaves. In the
late blight the brown spots will appear
Water soaked without the rings. Use
/ Bordeaux mixture and repeat in two
weeks
For Potato Beetle-Use arsenate OF
lead.
For Cabbage Worms-Use arsenate
OF lead before heads begin to form.
Do not use later than three weeks
before using.

The Farm and
the Farmer
BY WILLIAM r. sANsoRN

On meeting Harry Gilbert on Mon,
day afternoon we discovered that his
extra wide smile was caused by re-
port from the farm that the ground
was too wet to work. Mr.. Gilbert
said that he shared in the flow from
the skies which deluged Richmond
on Sunday afternoon. and that. every
thing was lovely. The Gilbert farm
lies about a mile and a half south of
the city, and was in the track Of the
r2instorm.
Sunday Rain Struck Bethel.
Frank Jones. who owns a farm near
Bethel, says they had a good rain at
Bethel on Sunday and that it covered
some of the adjoining country. Mr..
Jones still insists that he has a wheat
field worth going miles to see, in view
of the damage done by fly, etc,
throughout so much of Wayne county.
His wheat received a liberal drench-
ing on Sunday afternoon.
Crops o. X at williamsburg.

good rain at Greenviue Monday after
noon, but no water fell around lis.
1t doesn't yet matter greatly, however.
for our crops are looking O. K. so

Trees Down; SIo Moved.
To have two fine peach trees, loaded
with young fruit, also a few cherry
trees counted on for pies and pro
serves, wrecked in a summer wind
storm, is the tragedy Mrs. c. w. Craw-
ford experienced on her return home
from West Richmond, on Sunday eve
ming Mr. Crawford does not take il
so much to heart. He says the fine
rain was badly needed and that Mon
day was a great day for growing corn
on account of the storm. Also that
though a few trees more or less in
his neighborhood will be missed, still
no important damage was done. The
Crawford home is on the Williams
burg pike.
Some damage from wind is reported
by both Frank and Willis Rich, living
near the CrawfOrds. A fine walnut
shade tree on the Frank Rich lawn
blew down Sunday, and some fruit
trees also were wrecked. There was
no damage to buildings. The silO on
the Willis Rich place was moved about
a foot on its foundation. but still
stands.
John O'Dea Reports Rain.
John ODea, living east Of New
| Paris, says he had rain enough on his
farm Sunday to benefit both wheat
and corn. Says he has total of
| SO acres of pretty good wheat, which
the fly didn't even discover last fall.
He states that late corn is backward
| for lack of rain but that the shower
which fell in the New Paris district
will force corn along. Early corn looks
strong and vigorous, SO far as he has
observed, and his own corn is doing
well, the lateness of the season con
