quiry. The first relates to the per-
sonal exemption allowed married per-
sons, and the second to the provision
requiring that return be made Of
gross income Of $4,000 or more.
The Act provides that married
person, living with husband or wife,
whose net income for 1921 was $4,000
or less shall be allowed a personal
exemption Of $25OO. If the net in
come Of such person was over $4,000
the exemption is $4,000. Under the
Revenue Act of 1913 the personal ex-
emption allowed married person was
$4,000, regardless of the amount of
net income. The normal tax rate re-
mains unchanged, per cent on the
first $4,000 Of net income above the
exemptions and 8 per cent on the re-
naming net income.
In order that an income slightly in
excess Of $4,000 shall not be subject
cd to an inordinately disproportionate
tax because of the reduction of the
exemption to $4,000 thereon. The law
provides that such reduction shall not
operate to Increase the tax, which
would be payable if the exemption
were $2500, by more than the amount
of the net income in excess of $4,000.
For example, on net income Of
5000, the tax without this saving
clause, would be $12O40, which is 4
per cent on $3,010, the amount Of net
income less an exemption of $4,000.
The actual tax is $110.40, computed
as follows:
From the net income of 5000 is
deducted $4,000, leaving $3.50, the a
per cent tax on which amounts to
$100.4O. To this is added $1,000, the
amount Of net income in excess Of
$4,000"
The personal exemptions allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of a family, person who sup
ports in one household one or more re-
latives by blood, marriage, or adop-
tion.
Heretofore, q person whose net in
come was less than his exemption

was not required to file return. I'M
der the Revenue Act Of 1921, if the
gross income Of an individual equall-
ed or exceeded $4,000, or If the COM
bined gross income of q married
couple and that il dependent minor
children equalled or exceeded $4,000,
a return must be filed, regardless Of

CARPET GRASS IS VERY
IMPORTANT FOR PASTURES

Carpet grass is the most important
grass for permanent pasture in the
coastal plain area of the South. Car
pet grass is not native grass, but
was accidentally introduced from tro-
pical America before 1880 and has
spread generally over the Southern
States.
Carpet grass is a perennial pale
green grass, spreading by creaping
stems which root at every joint, thus
forming close, compact turf; it has
no underground stems to make it a
pest. Its leaves are wider and more
rounded at the tips than these of
Bermuda grass and lighter in color.
Seed are produced in slender seed
fingers, two to five to each stem.
Carpet grass requires moist or
at least not a droughty soil and sue
cceds better in such soils if sandy
than other pasture grass. The mini
mum temperature it will survive is
about 10 f. Carpet grass pastures
are readily established ntilled land
by seeding at any time from early
spring to late summer on well firm
ed seed bed, when moisture conditions
are favorable. On unbroken or stump
land good results can be secured by
burning or moving the tall native
grasses, seeding at favorable time,
and then pasturing to keep the native
grasses constantly short. Under this
treatment the native grasses are era
dicated in one or two years and re-
placed by a pure stand Of carpet
grass.
The carrying capacity Of good car
pet grass pasture is one cow to the
acre for the five best months and one
cow to two acres for three to FIVE
months longer.
Dallis grass, lcspedeza, white Glow
er, bur clover, black medic, and Au-
gusta vetch are desirable in mixture
with carpet grass. Italian rye may
be used as winter mixture, but
needs to be sown each fall. Under
some conditions red top should be
used to precede carpet grass. Carpet
grass pastures should be grazed to
their capacity, as under heavy graz
ing the best condition is maintained.
Carpet grass pasture supplemented
by the plants mentioned will make an
ideal pasture that can be grazed near
ly, if not quite, the entire twelve
months.
Bitterweed and dog fennel are the
only two weeds that seriously invade
carpet grass pastures. During the
first two seasons these weeds should

FLY PAPER is USED
TO FIGHT BOIL WEEVIL
Places Sticky Stuff at End of Rows
and Raises Ten Bales on
Small Farm.

Columbia.-A means of curbing the
progress of the boil weevl has been
found! And like all such discoveries
a simple method was employed.
The Moses of the farmer is a ne
gro.
Flypaper is the weapon.
The discovery is authenticated by
one Of the most prominent and SUBJ
stantial farmers Of Greenwood county
director Of one Of the leading banks
Of Greenwood and a man who serves
his country in public life.
George Moore, a negro farmer liv-
ing near Cokcsbury, had the imagina-
tion to conceive the Hindcnburg line
against insect invader.
Truly runs the tale:
George had heard much about the
pcstivcous and voracious insect which
was dcvouring the juicy core of his
neighbours cotton bolls. He determin-
cd to prevent the invasion of his one
and one-horse farm. He thought hard
and earnestly. Eureka!
The prominent man, in describing
George said.
81 heard that George Moore had
raised ten bales of cotton on his small
farm when his ncighbors, many Of
them the most successful farmers of
the Cokesbury section were disastrous
failures. The boil wcevil had literally
devourcd their cotton bolls.
Il was somewhat skeptical and in
vcstigated. discovered that the ne
gro had, indeed, produced the amount
of cotton stated / inquired how he
did it.
"Well, boss replied the darl1y, Il
heard about dem wcevils, and I
thought out scheme to work agin'
'em. l bought dollar and a half Of
flypaper and spread it at both ends of
cotton rows. declare, boss, in the
morning, dem papers was so kivvered
wild dem weevis dat yo' couldn't see
'em. den burned 'em and put down
new 'uns. 1t sho' was de ting"
The Greenwood man said he talked
to negroes around George Moore's
farm and they verified what the ne-
gro stated, about the number of bales
Of cotton produced and the use of fly
paper. Whether the use Of the flypa-
per reduced the number of weevils
he was doubtful, but the physical fact

Coach Slattery set the new men to fielding grounders in the baseball cage. and gave every one of them several turns at the bat. The present squad consists of twenty pitchers, nine catchers, nine candl- dates for tho outtield, five first base men and twelve men for the other inficld positions. More flelders are expected tomorrow.
 Among the absentees yesterday was George Owen, the first baseman, who is not due until Wednesday. taking this short rest after the hard season of the hockey team, of which he is captain. Johnnie Martin, Percy Jen- kins and Frankie Hill are other cam didates for the infield, who postponed their trip to the cage.

Kearns and Flournoy Deny Report Concerning Boyle's Thirty Acres

New York. Feb. 2S,-Emphatic de- nials were made by Jacl. kearns, bempseys manager; Matchmaker Flournoy and other officials at the Garden, Of the report that Boyles Thirty Acres, scene of the Dempsey Carpenter battle last year, had been definitely picked as the site for match to be arranged between the champion and Harry Wills, in case the latter is successful in his engage ment with Kid Norfolk in the Gar den Thursday night.
 The report was that an agreement had been reached and that the site had been picked at secret confer ence between Jack Kearns and cer- tain New Jersey boxing authorities and was declared to be authentic. It was qualified, however, by the state ment that the official announcement would not be made until such time as was deemed wise by the promot- CTS; that no papers had been signed, and that the agreement reached was simply verbal one that would be authoritatively announced later Pro- noting the bout it was said, was q syndicate which was now in the pro- cess of formation. No mention was made of the names of the probable promoters.
 There is not thing in It." de- clared Mir. Flournoy. when shown the statement yesterday. Tt is absolute ly untrue. Nothing has been done Tn the matter at all, and the story IS pure conjecture"
 Kearns More Emphatic.
 kearns, whose protege is taking turn behind the calcium lights at the Hippodrome until such time as an op- ponent is found for him, was even more emphatic in his denial, stating that he had had no communication whatsoever with anybody concerning the bout being held in New Jersey.
 Another rumor that went the rounds was that Dempsey's next de- fense of his title would not be made in America nor in Europe. in con test with Georges Carpenter as an opponent, but in Mexico City. It was stated that a syndicate composed of California business men, with strong connections in Mexico, had made a bid for Dempsey to meet an oppon- ent of his own choosing, preferably Jack Johnson, in the new government amphitheater in Mexico City on July 4. Men close to boxing affairs. how ever. stated that although the offer might be bona tide one, yet tt was doubtful if the match would draw well enough to warrant the promoters in meeting the guarantee that Demp- sey would demand for such an en- engagement.

ROSENBERG GETS DECISION.
Delicate Marty Cross in Fast Bout in
 Brooklyn Club Ring.

New York, Feb. 2S.-Dave Rosen- berg was the victor, over Marty Cross in the main bout of the regular Mon- day boxing show at the Broadway Sporting club, Brooklyn, last night. Rosenberg carried the action through all twelve rounds of the bout and won handily. Several times a series of sharp lefts to the body had Cross staggering. but he managed to go the route. Rosenberg weighed in at 157A pounds and Cross at 147.
 The best boxing of the evening came in the semi-final, however, when Pete Moore defeated Sam Stein in spirited engagement of ten rounds. The bout was evenly contested from the start Moore was f1oored for a few seconds in the third round. But he came back with vengeance and there was no doubt as to the superior boxer at the finish.
