LIQUOR VENDORS TO
FACE PAYMENT SOON
OF GOVERNMENT TAX
Mathers Ordered to Proceed
With Collection of Approx
imately $l50,000.

Every violator Of the liquor laws,
now being prosecuted in the city
courts as well as those already con-
victed will be forced to pay a gov
eminent tax ranging from $500 TO
$4,000.
Acting under instructions Of r. A.
Minton, assistant federal director for
Indiana, the local officer, Harry
Mathers has completed and forward
ed to the revenue collector evidence
upon which the tax is levied.
Although the constitution prohibits
the sale and manufacture of liquor
for beverage purposes, the old law
regulating taxes upon the sale. man
ufacture and possession has not been
repealed.
Scale of Taxes.
This is the federal scale Of taxes
upon which the levies of those con-
victed and the 81 cases now pending
in city courts will be made:
Possession Of a still. $1,000.
License for sale, $1,000.
Possession of liquor, S543.
In addition, there is a federal tax
of $40 per gallon on all liquor
found in the possession of any one
who has offered it for sale.
Prohibition officer Mathers ha:
carefully checked the evidence il
the diffenent cases as they have beer
presented by the police in theii
raids and under his checking, the
government will now proceed to the
collection Of the taxes.
The payment Of the taxes is NJ
immunity from further prosecution
in the federal courts and it is very
probable that a number of case:
which have succeeded in securing
prolonged delays in their trials vii
be presented to the federal grand
jury.
To Push Collection.
The procedure to be taken fol
the collection Of taxes follows tina
of any other claims which the gov
eminent has against individuals fol
taxes.
Receipts will be forwarded to the
local collector who will then take
summary steps to enforce the col.
lection.
Refusal or neglect TO pay IS gener.
ally followed by most drastic action
The total taxes due the govern
ment, under the law, from those
whose cases are now pending is esti-
mated TO be about $50, 900. The
lowest individual case is $500 and
the highest $500.

AVOID DoDDER INFESTATIoN
Farmer Should Use Plants Known to
Be Immune to Attacks of
Pestferous Weed.

The necessity of selecting plants
immune to dOdder infestation when
cultivating newly cleared land was
emphasized by a report which recently
reached the United States Department
of Agriculture concerning the destruc-
ton of an entire field of eggplant on a
newly cleared field In. Pennsylvania.
So bad was the infestatiOn that not q
single fruit was. formed on the para
sitized plants and the entire field was
destroyed. The dOdder was determined
as hazel dodder, a species not I'M
common on hazel and other wild
shrubs and on tick trefoiI and other
wild herbs, but never previously re-
ported on cultivated plants. The de-
partment recommends that on land
known to contain the seeds of dodder,
farmers should use plants which are
immune TO attacks Of the pest. The
following plants are not susceptible
to injury by dodder; corn, soy beans,
velvet beans, cowpeas. and small
grains such as oats. wheat, and rye.
Potatoes and buckwheat, crops
commonly used on newly cleared land,
are not very likely to be injured by
dodder, but truck crops should not
be planted on land known to contain
dodder seeds.

SUGGESTIONS ON
RAISING CABBAGE
Plant Contains Large Quantities
of Mineral Salts So Essen
tiaI in Diet.
GIVE ATTENTION TO VARIETY
Select Richest Portion of Garden and
Work Into Soil as Much Rotted
Manure as Can Be Spared
Prevent Work of Cut~orms.

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
/ Most people have fondness of cab
| bage, served In one way or another,
/ as it contains large quantities of the
mineral salts so essential in the diet.
Early cabbage is especially desirable.
as it furnishes green food at a time
when it 10 needed.
In giving suggestions on growing
| cabbage, garden specialists of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
say the proper variety must be plant
ed. Some kinds require a longer pc
riOd for their growth than others. Jer-
sey Wakefield and Charleston Wake
field are most universally planted for
the early crop, Jersey Wakefield be-
ing considered earliest of all. The va
riety known as All Seasons has a
round, f1attened head and is a good
intermediate sort. Copenhagen Mar
ket is a large, round-headed early
cabbage that is very much in favor
among market gardeners. Late Flat
Dutch and Danish Ballhead are con-
sidered the leading late varieties.
Start Plants Indoors.
Plants must be started indoors, In
a hOtbed, or be shipped from some
point farther South where the season
is advanced, If extra early cabbage is
to be grown. One or two cigar boxes
filed with fine soil and placed in a
south window will form a seedbed
for starting 100 to 200 cabbage plants.
The little seedlings must be trans
planted to larger boxes or TO a cold
frame when they begin to crowd each
other in the seed boxes. Cabbage
plants are quite hardy, and along the
South Atlantic coast are grown In the
open by the acre.
Plant early cabbage in the richest
part of the garden, having previously |
worked into the soil all the rotted ma
nure that can be spared and then add |
ed high-grade commercial fertilizer at |
the rate of ten pounds to every 100 |

feet of row. The fertilizer should be
well mixed with the top 4 inches of
soil over a space the full width of the
row. which is generally feet.
Do not plant cabbage on land where
it was grown last year, especially If
any of the heads were diseased or
showed any kind of trouble. 1t Is al
ways a good plan to rotate crops, even
in the small home garden. Cabbage
is subject to several diseases, but for
tunately these do not do much harm
in small gardens. Insects, however,
play havoc with the crop from the
time it is planted. Cutworms are gen
orally waiting in the soil during early
spring to cut off the stems of the cab
bage plants just at the surface Of the
ground.
Protect Plants From Cutworms.
The best remedy, or rather proven
tive, is to place bands or tubes of stiff
paper around the stems of the plants
as they are being set In the garden.
Thin cardboard makes ideal plant pro-
tectors BY cutting the cardboard in
to strips about 3 inches wide, sections
can be cut off and rolled around a
lead pencil to form a tube. The pro-
tectors should extend an inch below
the surface and at least 2 inches
above After the stems of the cab
bage plants have become toughened
and begin TO grow rapidly the pro-
tectors can be taken off.
Cabbage worms, the eggs for which
are laid by the light-yellow butterflies
that are often seen flying about the
cabbage plants. do great amount of
damage. busting the foliage and the
heads with air-slaked lime, to which
a little paris green has been added,
or spraying them with arsenate of
lead, one ounce to a gallon of water,
are both effective. There is no danger
as the heads grow from the inside and
the outer leaves. to which the poison
is applied, are all removed.
