THE REAL WEALTH OF ten
ENNESSEE is SHOWN BY
new ASSESSMENT.

In discussing the recent state
ment of Mr.. Louthan, Chef Tax
StatiScian for the Board of
Equalization. relative to the new
assessment of real estate in Ten
nessee, The Clarksville Leaf
Chronicle has the following time
ly article on the subject.
The statement of Mr.. LOuth-
Ian, showing the value of the
real estate in each county in Ten
nessee, reveals the very crafty
ing TACT that the reality of this
state is worth in round numbers
81 800. 600, ,000. Mr.. Louthan
points out that when the person.
al property, which is TO be as
sessed IN 1920, IS placed on the
tax books, and when the rail-
roads and other public utilities
OF the state, are assessed this
year at actual cash value that
the entire assessment for the
state viii amount to about 81
$50. 00O, coo
This means the automatic re-
ductlon Of the state rate from
70c for all state purposes to 25c
for all state purposes. era re-
duction in one year of our tax
rate for state purposes of 45c.
1t should be borne in mind that
the work of the state Board of
Equalization will not increase
county taxes q single dollar il
any county in the state and that
the county rate in each county
will be reduced exactly in the
same proportion as the assess
menr is increased.
Heretofore Tennessee has
been advertised to the world as
being worth about 500. 100000.
The work of the Chief Tax Sta.
tistician shows that the wealth
of the state is easily SO. .OOO.-
600. When this goes abroad to
other states that the wealth of
Tennessee is above $1,000. .0OO..
600 and that the state tax rate
is as law as 25c : we may prompt
ly look for an influx of foreign
capital into this state seeking in
vestments, This will give Ten
nessee a lower tax rate for state
purposes than is being enjoyed
by any other state bordering on
Tennessee. This must of neces-
sity be very inviting to foreign
capital. and the Leaf Chronicle
predicts that as a result of this
phenomenal reduction in the
stat, tax rate that hundreds of
millions of dollars or capital will
come into Tennessee from other
sections. thus father increasing
the total wealth of the state and
thus farther decreasing the tax
rate and reducing the burden of
taxation on the present property
in the state.
Under the operation of the
automatic sliding scale law,
passed during Governor Roberts.
administration. the state rate
will continue each year TO auto.
matieally decrease as the wealth
of the state grows. This is the
most gratifying feature of the
new assessment system, for il
means that if foreign capital
should be invited into Tennessee
as a result of the very low tax
rate which we will hate from
now on. that just in proportion
as the wealth of the state in
crossed by the addition of such
capital. just in the same bropor-
tion will the taxes be decreased
on the property now in the state.
Tennessee will have a 25c
rate for state purposes. az COM

Chinese Silk Trade.

The American demand for silk In
China has greatly increased In the last
few years until at the present time
about % per cent of the Chinese silk
Is sent to the United States. This Is
the result Of American enterprise more
than that Of the Chinese. The Japa-
nese silks had been In favor for long
time with the manufacturers of this
country, but 1t was well understood
that the quality Of the Chinese was
superior, but 1t was not adapted for
use in this country because Of the
manner in which it was woven. An
American manufacturer secured a
moving picture reel showing the Japa.
nese methods of manufacture. and as
result the Cinnamon were induced te
change theirs to system to conform
with the demands Of the occidental
customers, and the industry has &C
cordingly taken great jump.

PROPER CARE OF YOUNG PIGS
First Thing to Be Done Is to Cut on
Four Sharp, Hard Tusks- a.
Never Pull Them.

Soon after pigs are born. the foul
sharp, hard tusks. two In the upper
and two in the lower jaws should be
cut off. Take pair Of nippers and
cut the teeth off, but not too near the
gums. Often these tusks cut the sow'S
teats, make them sore and she will
not let the pigs suck. Then, also, the
pigs cut themselves with those tusks,
and sometimes stick them through
their tongue, cannot suck. and starve.
They cause sore mouth. They are soft
and easily removed.
A pair of sharp scissors will cut
them easily but under no circumstan-
ces should they be pulled out. If 1t is
: seen that a pig is getting too fat. ii is
evidence that it is robbing its mates
To prevent this, take sharp knife
and cut its rooter in two or three
places, deep enough to make 1t sore
and 1t will stop taking more than its
share.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFITS
ONLY About a or S Per Cent Of Live
Stock Is Purebred and Demand
Steadily Growing.

There are many opportunities Tor
good profits in the breeding of pure
bred live stock. When 1t is consid-
cred that only about or per cent of
all our stock is purebred and that
the demand for better stock Is steadl'
" growing it must be clear that there
is still room for capable men with a
love for live stock to make breeding
a profitable business. But the man
who is not prepared either through
training or inclination to devote a
large part of his time to the care and
management of his stock Is surely
making a mistake to engage In the
purebred business.

EARLY BREEDING ADVOCATED
Lambs Born in Spring Get One or Two
Months Of Mothers Milk Before
Fighting Worms.

Early breeding. in order that lambs
may be old enough to offersstrong re-
sistance to worms when they are turned
on pasture. is advocated by the Ne
braska College of Agriculture. Ewes
bred in October and November will
lamb in March and April. This will
give the lambs from one to two months
on their mothers milk and on grain be-
fore they have to combat worms. The
principal objection to early lambing is
the necessity of having good barn
However, the expense and trouble from
early Landing are more than offset by
the ability of the lambs to survive the
worm season. Extra feeding of ewes
during the breeding season is urged.
Well-fed ewes are more likely to pro-
duce twins.

TREATING FIGS FOR WORMS
Sanitary Cement WaIlow Should Be
Provided and Oil or Dip Added
to Kill vermin.

Before starting spring pigs on sum-
mer feed, the entire lot should be
treated for worms unless the owner
Is certain that the premises are clear.
Santonin or American wormseed oil
treatments are good
Hogs should have sanitary cement
or frame wallow. Into the water
should be put some crude oil or dip
to destroy lice, keep the skin in good
condition, and promote gains.
A maximum use Of pasture is desir-
able. If present pastures are poor or
insufficient they may be supplemented
with rape. A good rape pasture should
carry 20 pigs to the acre for the sea-
son. according to K. O. Ashby Of the
Minnesota station.
Wherever pigs are given a full
feed of grain the self-feeder should
be used to save labor. Corn should
be supplemented with feed rich in
protein.
The hogs should hog-off enough corr
to finish them for the market, unless
they are to be put behind cattle.
