ship of the London Daily Mail. This
work was begun two years ago. as q
result Of observations made by Lord
Northcliire during visit to the United
States in 1919. The English enroll.
lnent is insignificant when compared
with the half million club members
in this country, but it promises to be
the beginning Of popular educational
movement in England.
Before attending the Royal Agricul-
tnral Society show, where they COM
peted for the gold cup, the American
boys visited Edinburgh, parts of Scot
land famous for Shorthorn cattle and
Clydesdale horses, number of Eng
lish stock farms, and typical coun.
ty fair at Doncaster. At the royal
show they attended one Of the an.
nual auction sales that drew buyers
from Denmark, France, Spain, and
even from the Far East. Following
the show the party took flying trip
to the French battleields, reaching
Paris in time to witness the celebra-
tion of Bastile Day, the French
Fourth Of July" The boys were ac-
cOmpanied by e. G. jenkins, state
boys club agent of the Maryland ex-
tension service, and c. L. Chambers
of the United States Department Of
! Agriculture.
"Our boys impressed the English
breeders with their thorough knowl.
edge and ready appraisement of the
animals shown them," said Mr.. Cham
bers. "They were keenly alert to
the opportunities that came to them
to study the results of generations Of
painstaking work by English live
stock breeders. The contest gave them
an opportunity to demonstrate to old
England the benefits resulting from
the inspiration and training that Il
half million American farm boys and
girls receive every year under the
guidance of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges"

INTEREST IN BETTER SIREs

Of Asriculturs.)
With exactly $500 persons enrolled
in the Better Sires-Better Stock"
campaign at the close Of the calendar
year 1921, records Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture show con-
tinued interest in this work which
has extended to all states and sew
eral island possessions. During the
year the number of live stock owned
by the persons enrolled increased
from about 100000 to 10000. The
figures include both male and female
stock. All of the males are purebred,
and the females, which may be Of
varied breeding, are bred in all cases
to purebred sires.
1t is noteworthy that So per cent
of all female stock listed in the better
sires campaign are purebred. This
figure is per cent higher than a year
ago. The effect of the use Of pure
bred sires in reducing the number of
scrub animals on farms is shown by
the small proportion of scrubs in herds

COST OF GRADING FOR ROADS
Government Statistics Show That
Price in Recent Months iias
Gradually Declined.

The cost Of grading for highway
construction apparently has reached a
stable condition, according to statistics
of the bureau of public roads of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. The average cost per cubic yard
for grading on federal-aid roads rose
from 3S cents in 1917 to peak price
Of 66 cents in 1920, and has since
gradually declined.
On federal-aid work contracted for
in the last three months the average
price per, cubic yard for the whole

IS superstition among some French
peasant wives that no bread must be
baked between Christmas day and the
Feast of the Circumcision, because an
infraction of this rule will bring dis
aster on the household
There is peasant belief of age long
standing that If the cattle on the farru
be given drink Immediately after the
midnight mass of Christmas their
health will continue good throughout
the year. Another belief is that if seed
Of wheat be wrapped in a tablecloth
which has been used for Christmas
dinner, n profitable harvest will be
insured. Another strange belief is that
a cold bath taken on Christmas day
will protect the bather against fevers
and toothachc throughout the year.

STATE LEVY
rrlugs BUREAU AT STATE cApI1ArI

lflAES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL
INDIANA rOLIS. Nov. 2s. The
proposal to eliminate the state tax
levy on the general property or the
state Is one that is likely to be
given serious consideration at the
next session of the Legislature. VIII
a. Hough member of the state
board Of tax commissioners, IS pre-
pairing a bill to shift the state taxes
from the real estate and personal
property OF the state to the rail-
roads and public utilities.
There are two fundamental un-
DERIVING reasons for the proposed
change. Tho first IS that the elimi-
nation OF the state tax on property
generally would do away with the
necessity for the state to take any
part in equalizing asse ssments be-
tween the counties Taxes would
then be purely local matter and
assessments could be made on any
basis the local officials saw fit. The
second reason advanced is that
some communities are reaping a
rich harvest in revenue solely be
cause trunk line railroads run
the plan advanced by Commissi oner
Hough is that the railroads. trans
portation companies. pipe lines. ard
the like. are assets for the entire
state and no special communities
should capitalize on them simply
because they harpen to run through
that territory.
The total assessed valuation Of
railroads. pipe lines. public utilities
and the like this year Is sTS5.5l3,-
916. This figure does not include
the real estate belonging to these
companies. except the real estate
along the right Of ways of rail-
roads. And this railroad real estate
amounts to only s17,o0o.o0o
The proposed plan would make all
the personal property of these cor
porations subject 70 state tax only
but all the real estate would be
subject to local taxes as at present
It is estimated that general
state tax Of cents on the dollar
os asse ssed value of these corpora
tions would yield revenue suffi-
rient for maintaining the state gov
ernment.
The state tax levy this year IS -
cents on each 800 Of assessed val
uation on all the real eatate and
personal property of the state. This
tax would be eliminated.
One OF the benefits Of such
change In the taxing system would
come from tt,e spreading of utiity
taxes over all parts OF the state
