overhead, taxes, etc. To this must be
added the charge for use of land to
get the total cost.
Labor and material costs are found
by multiplying the number of man and
team hours by the prevailing local
rate and adding fertilizer costs
(manure at approximately $3.50 per
ton) and seed at current market price
at time of planting, whether purchased
or produced at home. Since these
costs are, roughly, so per cent of OPP
Grating expenses, the total expense,
including spraying, machinery, stor-
age, taxes, insurance, and overhead
expense, may easily be figured. In es-
timating the use of land the local cash
rent basis should be used, if avail
able, and, if not, the interest at mort
gage rates on the conservative acre
value may be taken.

Are Corns a Luxury?

When is luxury tax? Representa-
tive Aaron S. Kreider tells this story:
A woman went into a restaurant and
ordered plate of ice cream, and when
she came to pay she had check for
Ii cents and 2 cents was added, to it.
She asked: "What does that 2 cents
mean?"
WELL" she was told, "15 cents for
your ice cream Gad 2 cents luxury
tax"
She paid it. and then she walked
across the street to the drug store and
asked for a corn plaster, and she got
a check for 10 cents, and l cent added.
She said. "What is the l cent for?"
THAT is the luxury lax"
"Well," she said, this is the first
time ever knew that corns were a
luxury"
Now that is the way it goes. There
are great many things to be con-
sidered in discussing tax propositions.

Market glutS are one of the princi-

perishable nature, such as soft fruits
and vegetables, which cannot be held

adjust themselves. Avoidance of
these ruinous conditions is possible in

~ little old man at the edge Of the

you ever saw. Dressed all in green on one
side, and oil in red on the other. One Of
his feet was turned frontwards and the other
was turned backwards, so you could never
know which way he was going until he
started.
This little old mans name was Old John
Star. He had lived in the woods for a
long, long time. What he had come to
zee Mary Jane for was about the delicious
Mary Jane Syrup that Jimmy Jones. the
woodchuck, told him about.
Mary told him all about how good Mary
