Horticulture in State Is Dis cussed at Eighteenth An- nuaI Meeting in Selma.
 Director Speaks

Selma, Ala, November 1S.-(Spe- cial. )-The horticultural situation in Alabama was frankly reviewed and recommendations made for it's iin- provement, by Director Dan T. Gray of the Alabama experiment station and dean of the Agricultural college at Auburn, In the opening address tf the eighteenth annual meeting of the Alabama State Horticultural so- ciety here this week.
 As basis for his address Professor Gray used figures from the last fed eral census which show that from 1910 to 1920 Alabama moved back ward in horticultural way. The number of apple trees decreased from 5,039,61s in 1910 to 2,s21,612 in 1920 or approximately 50 per cent and the number of peach trees de- creased in the same period from s,177.3S1 to 1,544.700. Similar reduc- tions were experienced in plums and grapes, while oceans and satsuma oranges showed handsome increases.
 After quoting theae figures Pro lessor Gray explained it was due to lack of proper attention to home orchards. resulting in many orchards being practically wiped out by in- sects and diseases. It was pointed out that in the other states similar results occurred with home orchards but in commercial orchards where the trees are properly sprayed and pruned, success was very marked.

NATION OF TAX ASSESSORS From The Nations Rusiness


 centenario tax was Mexico's s device for raising money te boost it's merchant marine. It was a kind of voluntary income tax. At any rate, although levied upon Income it was to be computed by the taxpayer and the taxpayers computations were not to be questioned It now seems that the tax-gatherer has other ways of increasing his collections; for the Mexican official has been noncnal- antly going the rounds and serving notice that the payments actually made were only half the amount due. and adding another half as a fine. It Is perfectly clear that there may be drawbacks to man being the assessor of his own tax
 Our income tax law smacks a bit of the centenario variety: for it, too. begins with the theory that every man can be his own tax assessor. Therein has lain the source of lot of trial and tribulation. Our own house will not be put in order until the government assesses the tax and fixes the exact amount before the taxpayer has to hand over any hard cash.

WOULD S|DETRACK
SUBSIDY MEASURE
WRITES REPUBLI-
CAN LEADER-FRIENDS OF
PLAN HARDING THINKS, MUST
GET TOGETHER-ADM DIS
APPOINTMENT.

Washington, Aug. 24.-President
Harding, in a letter today to Repre-
sentative Mondell, the Republican
leader, expressed willingness to have
congressional consideration of the
administration ship subsidy bill de-
ferred until we can rivet the atten-
ton of congress with a full attend
ance." Success of the measure, the
president added, might be leopard
lied by pressing for an immediate
decision.
The letter was in reply to one
from Mr.. Mondell in which the Re-
publican leader had declared that he
and his associates were reluctant to
bring the bill to vote in the house
at this time.
4 am frankly disappointed" the
president stated, "that the circum-
stances have combined to make diff
ficult situation, due on the one hand
to the diminished attendance in the
house and chargeable on the other
hand to the new problems which have
arisen. It would be folly to ignore
the development of the prohibition
issue which came up so unexpectedly
and we must face the fact that the
friends of the bill must harmonize
their views, to accord with both the
constitutional amendment and other
opinion on the subject. Moreover the
same friends of the measure must
reach Q concord in the matter of
favoring provision carried in the
tax exemption section which was de-
signed to provide an indirect aid to
American shipping enterprise.
The president expressed the hope
that the administration would "fnd
a way to deal with these new difficult
ties with the approval of all support
ers of an American merchant marine
and that we then may have favorable
action before the congress gets too
deeply engaged in the pressing legis-
ilation which must be considered in
the short session."

PENNSYLVANIA SOFT
COAL STRIKE ENDED
$4,000 Miners Returning to Work
Today-Both Sides Herald
Agreement as Victory.

Altoona, Pa, Aug.-Union lead
ers today were notifying their as,
900 miners in the Central Pennsyl-
vania field to return Immediately to
posts they left five months ago
while operators were rushing planes
that will mean production Of 10000,
600 tonsof coal a year.This activity
followed the signing of an agree
ment last night.
Both sides today heraldel the
agreement as a victory, The miners
consider it a triumph because they
retain the check off and are to re-
ceive the same wages as that in ef-
feet on March 81. The operators
are jubilant because they arranged
a district agreement, a condition
which has been strenuously opposed
by John l.. Lewis president, of the
United Mine Workers of America.
The new treaty provides for the
continuance until March 81, 1928,
of the wage scale in effect when
the men went on strike. All the
provisions of the contract with one
exception are retained. The rule
which calls for continuance of work
for 80 days after the scale COM
mittees begin deliberations for a
new agreement was abolished.

FUNDING Of BRITISH
DEBT Of BILLIONS
WILL HAVE NO BEARING ON
THAT OF OTHER COUNTRIES
ENGLAND NOT ENDORSER FOR
MONEY LOANED ALLIES BY
UNITED STATES.

Washington, Aug. 24-Funding of
the $4,135, 100000 war debt owned
by Great Britain to the United Stat
es was declared today by Secretary
Mellon to have no relation to the
war loans made by the United Stat
els and Great Britain to other gov
ernments or to questions arising in
connection with reparations pay
ments of the former central powers.
The treasury secretary made his
declaration with respect to the Brit
ish debt in a formal statement issued
he said, on account Of numerous in
quiries reaching the treasury as to
the exact status of the obligations Of
the various European governments
held by America with respect to the
British debt. Reports have been pub
lished and statements made in some
quarters. Mr.. Mellon said, that the
British liability was not incurred for
the British government but for the
other allies, and. that the United
States, in making the original ar
,angements. had insisted in substance
that though the other allies were to
use the money borrowed, it was only
on British security that the United
States, and the advances by the
United States government were for
the purpose of covering payments
for these purchases by the allies.
"The statement that the United
States government virtually insisted
upon a guarantee by the British gov
ernment of amounts advanced to the
other allies is evidently based upon
a misapprehension. Instead of insist
ing upon a guarantee, or any trans
action of that nature, the United
States government took the position
that it would make advances to each
government to cover the purchases
ade by that government and would
not require any government to give
obligations for advances made to
cover the purchases of any other
government. Thus, the advances to
the British government, evidenced
by it's obligations, were made to COW
er it's own purchases, and advances
were made to the other allies to Gov.
er their purchases"
