ENCOURAGING BUILDING

The urgent need of more homes is
almost daily bringing forth new
plans for encouraging investment Of
money in housing enterprises. Al
ready number Of state legislatures
ar considering the means 70 give real
estate investments something of the
as.ractiveness of industrial stocks.
A bill before the legislature of
Pennsylvania provides for much
lower rate of taxation on buildings
than on land to encourage The in
vestments in improved property. Ad-
mittedly many persons have not been
able 70 see the wisdom of penalizing
the person who helped the commun-
ity by building blocks.
A proposal in Ohio is to suspend
for 10 years taxes on buildings which
may be erected for homes, in order
that persons of moderate means may
be able to obtain money to build
without being burdened with interest
and taxes on improvements placed on
the land. Another plan is to exempt
MOI tgages on homes of taxes, just
as investments in many stocks and
bonds already are.
It is realized by those seek
ing to promote the building of homes
tina: something more than a reduc-
ton of building costs will be neces-
sary to stimulate building activity.
The matter of getting the money to
finance building enterprises is i'm
portant, for banks and individuals
who have money look upon the net
returns as the only basis Of doing
business in real estate Investments.
For the last few years industrial
stocks have been popular with many
persons who have money to invest,
but present conditions are not fav-
orable for investments of this kind,
and it is probable that many will
turn to real estate as more certain,
if not SO promising. field of invest
ment. ID.
A little experimentation in the way
Of reducing rates of taxation on mon
ey invested in home building might
be worth trying. If it worker injus
tice to an considerable number Of
persons, or proved impractical from
some other standpoint, it could be
readily abandoned.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER

The Commoner said in regard to
President Wilson's veto of the Ford
ney tariff bill: The Presidents veto
of the tariff bill was proper and to
be expected. The Democratic party
would stultify itself if it joined the
Republicans in restoring the protec-
tive rates. The Republicans will, Of
course, put through high tariff bill
at the first opportunity, but it will
be we to let them take the whole re-
sponsibility. The Democratic party
can afford to wait until the Republi-
can tide recedes, as it will. Then the
people will return to the low tariff.
They cannot be frightened as they
were in years gone by-prosperity

cy of the arguments used as threats
by the beneficiaries Of protection.

cial cattle feed. The cattle are fed
from six TO eight months in some
confinement where they have the run
of a small feed lot and sheltered
sheds. Up to five years ago ninety
five per cent Of the fat cattle from
this section of Pennsylvania were
fattened in this way.
Just about six years ago these
beef producers began to investigate
the efficiency of the silo. The feed
ing trials which were conducted were
SO successful that the popularity OF
the silo spread like an epidemic OF
hog cholera. Conservative farmers
who usually Stunned an innovation
responded to the lure Of the silo be-
cause that convenience enabled them
to feed twice as many steers as they
formerly could on certain acreage

Internasinal Sugar Feed Company,
Memphis, Tenn.

A certain Lancaster County (Pa.)
agriculturist fattened sixty'w steers
on his 92 acre farm last winted. This
lis a production record which has sell
dom been equalled in the eastern sec
|tion of the country. 1t should be
taken into account that all the feed
for these beeves with the exception
of the cotton seed meal and molasses,
was grown on the farm. This feed
ling feat is remarkable in that it was
accomplished in the most conserva-
tive section of Pennsylvania, peopled
principally by cautious Germans who
lgencrally follow the paths of theii
fore fathers as religiously and stead
fastly as Indians harbor hatred.
In .he cattle finishing sections te
which we refer, there are about $500
farms. These engage in the cattle
feeding business as sideline. 1t /:
generally the custom TO fit for one
of the metropolitan markets eight OF
.en steers per farm. On this basis
the county feeds from 10000 to 50,-
900 steers a season, while the entire
feeding territory turns off from 75,-
: 900 to 10000 fat cattle during the
marketing period which runs from
March 1st to July 1st. AS we have
already said, the average cattle mar
fattens only eight to len steers veal
so the accomplishment Of the partic-
ular farmer first mentioned in this
article in turning off over six times
the average quantity from his feec
lot is something TO be proud Of.
