DOINGs AT THE CAPITAL.

There has been very little to report
recently of the doings of the Legisla-
ture. We should have adjourned the
session last week, and it is not the fault
of the House Of Representatives, nor
is it the fault of Chesterfield's Sena-
tor, but it is the fault of the Senate
Finance Committee. The House of
Representatives. record time COM
pleted and sent to the Senate, (By
working into the wee hours Of the
early morning), the annual appropria-
tion bill. The Senate Finance Com
mittee has not yet submitted their re-
port to the Senate, and understand
they will submit it with an increase of
about three-quarters of million doll
ars. The House of Representatives,
I feel certain, will use every power
they possess to defeat this increase.
The Legislature is not as a primary
reason kept in session because of the
deadlock in the election of an Asso-
ciate Justice. We are taking three
ballots each day, but can pass a con-
current resolution to sit down and
ballot until an election; so the real
reason of this extra time is the slow
ness of the Senate Finance Commi-
ttee.
For this extra time the members
nj 10 % hntr
and receiving no extra compensation,
all of which is most burdensome dur
ing these hard times.
The House of Representatives has
disposed of practically everything
that can be gotten through at this ses-
sion of the Legislature. A bill affect
ing every married man is one which
passed the House and the Senate to
the effect that before obtaining a mar
riage license he must give to the Pro-
bate Judge certificate from a repu-
table doctor showing him to be free
from veneral disease. Another impor-
tant bill, which the writer defended
on the floor, which passed by an over
whelming majority and was sent to the
Senate, was the inheritance tax bill,
taxing gifts, devises and legacies, but
having liberal exemptions and gradu-
ated up higher on great wealth. The
gasoline and oil taxing bill and the cot
ton bills arc in the hands of the Sen
ate for disposition. The fertilizer bill,
of which have previously written,
has been having harder shedding since
it left the House. This week, at the
request Of the author of the bill, the
writer appeared before the Senate Ag-
ricultural Committee in favor of the
measure. 1t looked like all the ferti-
lizer people of the State were there,
and they spoke over an hour against
the measure trying to show that it was
impossible to state on each bag what
made up the filler-whether it was
sand or plant food or what not. After
a heated discussion the committee de-
cided by majority vote in our favor,
and so reported same favorably to the
Senate.
Respectfully yours,
L. G. Wannamakcr.

STANDINGS OF THE TEAMS
Tobacco Notes.

The A. Jensen & Son warehouse fin
ished the asserting season the first of
the week.
The, 1920 tobacco from the St. Cloud
section in Minnesota went to the Earle
Tobacco Co. a long time ago.
A light drizzle in the southern section
last Monday and more moderate tenn
perature following gave a little relief.
More rain is needed.
C. O. Helgeson of Genoa says: 1t
looked dubious for binder crop, es-
pecially for the early, but rains from
now on may bring the later out in good
shape. Western Vernon county also
had rain Monday.
Clayton Hubbell returned last Friday
from Minnesota where he picked up
10000 pounds of leafy, choice binders.
The tobacco was shipped to Edgerton
to be put over the tables. Mr.. Hubbell
says that the sections he visited will
grow about the same acreage as last
year, perhaps little less. The fields
looked well, though somewhat weedy.
r. T. Glassco, county agent, has sent
US communication concerning the
menace to tobacco from worms. He
says that several crops south of
GAINESVILLE have been disked up and put
into buckwheat. An application of two
pounds of arsenate of lead to so gallons
of water will kill tobacco worms" One
pound of aisenate of lead and eight
pounds of air Stacked lime, if plants
are large, spraying with an ordinary
potato sprayer, is very effective.
