WOULD MAKE FARM NIPPLE
MENTS TAX FREE

E. NJ. Sledge, delegate to the ,Consti-
tutional Convention from West Car
roll offers an ordinance relative to the
assessment Of farm implements and
improvements, which provides that all
farm implements to the value OF
100000 and all farm implements form
which no direct revenue is received,
shall not be assessed for taxation, and
the value Of said property be prorated
on all lands Of the respective parishes,
other than town or city lots not used
for agricultural purposes, according to
classification. Mr.. Sledge believes the
adoption Of such an ordinance would
be an incentive to farmers to improve
their equipment and efficiency, and IN
duce progressive farmers from Other
states to come and aid in developing
our greatly neglected agricultural re
sources.
We are in favor Of the adoption Of
| any practical measure for the relie1
Of our farmers, who are the back

It is the company's plan, 1t was
stated, to set 900 feet Of S.inch casing
for a test Of the shallow sand at that
level The second test will be made in
the sand at 1850 feet, where. a good
oil show was found in Giddens No. !,
