POISON SPRAY NOT HARMFUL

Poison sprays on fruits and vege-

comparatively large quantities Of

Senatobia.-The board of supervis-

the state highway department to con-
struct the stretch Of the air line route
of the Jefferson Davis highway through
the county with federal assistance
The only question now in the way of
immediate work on this road is the To-
cation of the route. The federal engi-
neers have located the route on the
west side of the l. G. railroad; how
ever, this will necessitate additional
costs, and a committee will be ap.
pointed to confer with the authorities
in trying to get the old route approved.

STATE EVENTS
TOLD IN BRIEF
THE HAPPENINGS OF A WEEK
BRIEFLY TOLD FOR OUR
BUSY READERS.
ASKS FULL ASSESSMENTS
Mississippi Tax Body Appeals To
Supervisors.

Jacksonville state tax commission
has just issued strong appeal to the
board Of supervisors Of the state for
cooperation in the matter Of tax as.
sessments for the current year. The
commission makes it plain that reduc-
ing assessments does not reduce the
taxes, but makes the tax burden un.
equal, and calls upon the supervisors
to show more backbone.
The statement in part sent out by
the commission is as follows:
There are near the state tax COM
mission, in Jackson, the fossils of a
Zeuglodon. These were pieces of his
backbons. Each piece is about a, foot
long and seven inches in diameter.
1t is thought that this fish had about
seventy feet of backbone.
There are some exceptions, but in
the main the tax-dodgers are those
who come before you with complaints
as to their assessments. They even
appear with their attorneys. The av-
erage citizen is willing to leave the
equalization of lis assessments to the
officers of the law. Can you then i'm
pose a heavier burden on them by let
ting the taX-dodger escape taxation?
Take lesson from this old fish. He
swan the waters Of the seas before
Adam was made from the dust; yet,
he had backbone enough to remain as
a memorial thousands Of years after
Adam was driven from the garden Of
Eden.
There are hundreds of thousands Of
children to be educated in Mississippi;
there are many afflicted to be treated
and cared for; there is the greatest
need for the protection of our citizens
from the ravages Of tuberculosis and
other malignant diseases; there is
great demand for better roads. How
can the money be had for these things
without taxation? How can taxation
be just without a fair equalization Of
assessment? How can there be fair
equalization unless you do your duty?
Then take lesson from this old fish
have backbone enough to be not
moved by the walls or the tax-dodger.
please do not increase any assess
ment which is rendered for the value
of the property; justice, no doubt,
would demand a reduction of such an
assessment. This commission urges
you to increase the assessments by in
creasing only the differentiation and
by adding to the rolls the property
which has been omitted therefrom. By
all means make the assessments as
nearly equal as you can, according to
the actual value Of the property.
There may be some supervisors
with 20 feet of backbone. We are not
at all interested in what excuse you
offer for doing your sworn duty We,
in good faith, urge you to do your full
duty, and we propose to cooperate
with you, if you will do so. We will
take the responsibility if you will do
your duty"

Ears of the dent varieties that have(
starchy kernels have been found to'
be infected with root-rot organisms
more frequently than ears in the same
seed lots that have horny kernels.
This provides a means Of selectiOni
that may help to do away with theI
necessity Of testing every ear to c or
mine whether from the standpoint =.

plant. Starchy kernels are easily dis
tinguished from those with hor'
endosperms. The horny kernel
more or less translucent; that /.
it let's the light pass through in the J
same way that oiled paper does.
Starchy kernels are opaque-like al
piece Of chalk.
Starchy ears of dent varieties pro-
duce larger numbers Of weaker grow
ing plants, more susceptible to root
rOts in the field, than do ears of NOR
horny composition.
There is an impression among corn
growers that the depth Of the dents
is an indication Of the starchiness of
the kernels, but this has not been
shown to be true. Chaffy kernels are
usually very starchy, but starchiness
is not necessarily associated with
normally-matured ears that are rough.
