Great Tree Beginning
To Show Signs of Age

Mexico City, April 14.-The Great
Tree of Tule" in the State of Oaxaca,
after some 800 years of recorded eX-
lStence, is beginning to show signs of
wear and tear. This gigan cypress,
with trunk so huge that 80 persons
with outStretched arms can scarcely
span it, is known to have been a fair
sized tree when Columbus discovered
America, and history recounts that
Cortes and his Spanish soldiers slept
beneath its branches four centuries
ago when enroute to Honduras fol-
lowing their conquest of Mexico.
But although time has dealt kind
~ with the monarch, the correspond
cnt during a recent visit to the tiny
village of Santa Maria del Tule,
OaXaca, noticed that the wrinkles of
ageg are beginning to show. There
is no immediate cause for worry,
however, that Tule, as the Indians
atfectionately call the tree, will with
er away before the present gegnera-
tion has passed on. And even if it
should, Tule has son some so wards
away from the parental boughs that
is shown healthy signs of maintain
ing the family honor in the matter
of robustness. Hijo (son), as the In
dians have named it, already is so
largeg that II persons are needed to
span it and Hijo is only a couple of
hundred years old.
The Great Tree of Tule rises about
lT5 feet, and is said to be one of the
largest specimens in the world. The
spread of its branches is almost $50
feeet. 1t stands in the courtyard of
tiny church and is the only bid for
popular interest made by the village
of Santa Maria del Tule, whose popu-
lation reveres the tree almost as
much as one of it's saints.

vantage of the inventory is the fact
that 1t makes it possible for the far

Breeding Ewes Repay Extra Grain

Starvation kills more breeding
ewes In Kentucky during the winter
than any other one cause, in the
opinion of at least one prominent
sheepman of the state. Many farm
ers In trying to be saving in their
sheep feeding cut down on the feed
they give their ewes during the win

they do not die. they approach lamb

that makes them poor mothers. Sue
cessful sheep raisers aud breeders
have shown that good feed for the
breeding eve started at this time Of
the year and continued through the
winter is always repaid.
"A handful of grain fed to the
eve in December or the month pre-
ceding Landing time is worth n peck
fed to a thin eve after Landing, ~.
j. Horlacher. in charge o: sheep
work at the College of Agriculture
says" A eve that is In good con-
dition In the early part Of the win
ter will be much stronger in the
spring than one that starts the win
ter in poor flesh.
Oats or a mixture Of equal parts
of oats and bran is . good grain mix
ture for the pregnant eve. Abont
a month before Landing time 1t is
well to begin giving each eve about
one-fourth of a pound OF grain q

ulariy severe. this can be increased
gradually so that just before lamb

FARM EXTRACTS
INFORMATION FROM ExPE RNENT STATION AGRICU
TURAI PAPERS AND THE COUNTY AGENTS OFFICE

acne, Todd county farmers last year
saved 1000 tons of manure more
than ordinarily would have been
saved. The best farmers in the
state now keep manure in stables
or feeding sheds until it can be
spread on the fields, instead Of
throwing it in piles outside where
it teaches and heats and loses much
of its fertilizing value. A well bed
ded and tramped stall will keep ma
nure in good condition.
Many farmers in the state now
spread the manure on their farms
as fast as it is hauled to the fields.
The old practice of throwing the
material in small piles to be spread
later is expensive and wasteful.
Most farmers use a light application
to cover as many acres as possible.
An application of five tons to the
acre has ben found to give good re-
suits.
Most of the farm manure in
Kentucky is used on tobacco or corn
land. This makes DIT necessary to
spread it as fast as it is produced in
the winter or hold it until spring be-
fore spreading. On level land, and
especially where tire is sod, win
ter spreading can be done without
loss. A few farmers make a prac-
tice OF top dressing young grass and
lover with manure. This helps con-
siderably in getting and keeping a

Farm Cow Now Making About %
Cents A Day

a. assy
Thousands of Kentucky farmers
who are keeping a few cows from
which to sell cream are facing the
necessity of cutting down on rich
protein feeds and using only thOse
that are grown on the farm in order
to get a fair return from the.r ami
mails during the coming months
dairymen at the College of Asricu]-
ture say. At present prices being
paid for butterfat. the average farm
COW is returning a total of about %
cents a day. With such feeds as
cottonseed meal and linseed oil meal
and linseed oil meal selling around
So a hundred pounds and M II feeds
and bran ranging around $40 a ton,
the farmer cannot feed them and
have anything left to pay him for
the work he spends on his cows, the
dairymen say.
1T takes about 20 pounds of milk
to make a pound of butterfat. At
this rate, the average farm COW In
Kentucky does not yield more than
half a pound of fat day. Present
indications are that this fat will not
bring more than SO cents pound
this season, thus making the daily
return from the average farm COW
about rs cents a day.
Every COW. regardless of wheth-
er she is of the dairy type or the av-
erage one on the farm, needs about
80 or 40 pounds of corn or sorghum
silage a day and five or six pounds
OF clover, alfalfa, soybean or cow
pea hay. II the farmer who is saw
ing the cream from a few cows sets
out to feed his animals like the
commercial dairyman does. the ex-
ira grain feed that he would have
to give in addition to this roughage
every day would take Is cents out
of the rs which he gets from eacn
COW.
The best the. farmer can do un-
der present conditions Is to supple
ment this roughage Of silage and
hay with grain raised on the farm,
such as broken ear corn, shelled
corn, corn and cob meal, II this can
be crushed, or crushed barley. The
use OF a protein feed, such as cot
tonseed meal or linseed oil meal. is
necessary and profitable with the
man who keeps a dairy type OF COW
and has a market for whole milk.
However. this year the increase In
the cost of all grain feeds for the
dairy COW is going to make II un-
necessary for even the commercial
dairyman to use as many home
grown feeds as poss ble."

San Jose scale, one of the bad
fruit tree pests, is Just as. serious,
If not worse, in Kentucky apple or
chards at the present time as 1t has
ever been, according to A j. Olney,
a member of the horticultural de
partment of the College of Agricul-
ture. Few of the thousands of ap-
pie orchards in the state are free Of

trunks, limbs, twigs anG fruit and

pies heavily before farmers nJtice

The scale goes through the win

of insects increases rapidly through

every year is necessary.

The main emphasis will be on the
reduction Of the rate on improve
ments, which will have the effect OF
shifting more taxes on to the land
especially idle land, to reach "un-
earned increment"
Plan Passed House in 1919.
This question has been before the
state legislature for several years
In 1919 O. C. Neuman's bill, which
passed the house by a vote 70 to
IS, proposed these reductions. 1t cut
the assessment rate on the various
classes mentioned to 20 per cent of
full cash value. At present, residenc-
es standing on plated property are
assessed at 40 per cent of the value.
Farm improvements, including resi-
dences and structures of all kinds,
livestock, ETC., also tools, implements
and machinery in general are as
sessed at 1918 per cent. Household
goods are assessed at Is per cent.

Fire losses
Are Increasing
STATE FIRE MARSHAL'S REPORT
SHOWS STEADY RISE FOR
PAST THREE YEARS.

Steady increase in the number of
fires and total of fire losses in Min
nesota in the last three years is shown
in report prepared in the office of
shall.
s. The fires in 1921 numbered 2,788
with a loss of $7,O28,672. This is an
increase of 302 fires and almost ST.
100000 in losses as compared with
1920. The losses in 1918, the forest
fire year, were $17,386,958.
Mr.. Nettleton's report shows that
each year since 1918, the year of the
Moose Lake and other forest fires,
there has been an increase in the
state. No reason was assigned by
the state fire marshal for this but it
is thought that the higher prices of
general properties partly explain the
increase in the amount of losses.
The falling of sparks from
chimneys was the cause of more fires
than any other single. cause. With
Est fires, the greatest losses were in
stores with a total estimated at ST.
CO.,, $50, while residence property,
with 1889 fires, was the only other
classification with losses to exceed
S1,00O,000, the loss being $780,, 635.
There were more fires in Minnea-
polls, st. Paul and Duluth combined,
totaling 1,466, than in all the rest Of
the state together, with 1922, but the
losses IN the three large cities are

ASSN WHICH BACKED TONNAGE
TAX REACH "UNEARNED
INCREMENT"

Every candidate for the legislature
in Minnesota this year will be asked
to declare himself on the program of
the Minnesota Tax Reform associa-
ton, which backed the tonnage tax
law passed by the legislature last
year. The program of the association
for the next legislature is as follows
Reduction of the assessment rate
on residence structures, on tools, inn
plement and machinery, on house
hold goods, on farm improvements,
farm products, live stocks, etc.
Enactment of a royalty tax law as
a companion measure to the tonnage
tax law, placing state tax law on
incomes derived from iron ore royal
ties.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1922-06-07

shifted to the tax classification law.
The law now in force was passed in
1913, and has met with little change
since that time.
Reduction of assessments on land
improvements, it is contended, will
encourage building. The experiment
has been tried in Pittsburgh and is
known in tn asst as the Pittsburgh
plan" In Pittsburgh buildings are
assessed at one-half the rate of the
land. The Allied Boards of Trade of
Allegheny county now propose aboli-
ton of all taxes on buildings. New
York city has stimulated building by
abolishing all taxes on now residences
for 10 years.
20 Per Cent Rate Sought.
The Minnesota Tax Reform associa-
ton, according to C. J. Buell., of st.
Paul, secretary and active manager,
will try to get the best it can from the
next legislature, but probably will
not fight at this time for rate lower
than 20 per cent.
Such reduction would not affect
limitation on bonded debt, he said, be-
cause those are based on the 'full
and true value" which is fixed by as
