DROP IN INTERNAL
 REVENUE INCOME
Automobile Sales Figure Largely in Net Returns to Government

Washington, Sept. S.--Internal revenue collections for July, the first month when all of the tax reduce ton features of the present law were effectxe, amounted to si10,S14,- SS5. drop of s24s55.6o5 from the receipts of July last year. Tax pay ments in June were s412,465,251, but this included the regular quarterly payment of income and profits taxes and does not therefore furnish bass of comparison with July.
 There was sharp cut in the amount of taxes collected in July under the two main classifications-- income and miscellaneous-as com pared with July year ago. The comparative income payments were $3O,o23,624 for July and SSS,1o2,040 for July 1923.
 Miscellaneous payments dropped from $9756S,449 in July, 1923, to sS0,791,261 last July.
 A big factor in the reduction in the amount of miscellaneous collec- tions was the drop in payments from the automobile industry. Automo- piles, motorcycles and accessories yielded $1S,126,S1O in taxes in July, 1928, while the collections last month were only $1,173,419, reflect ing, in the opinion of internal rev. enue officials, the curtailment in production.
 Estate taxes yielded sa,425,74s in July, an increase of s5,44e,20S over the same month last year.

KEEP SEED GRAIN
FROM BIN HEATING

Next years grain crop depends
upon the seed saved this year.
With this thought in mind R. A.
Moore, agronomist of the Wisconsin
College Of Agriculture, is urging all
grain growers to be careful about
the storage of freshly threshed
grain.
"The heavy rains preceding and
following the harvesting of wheat,
oats, barley, and rye were such that
the larger portion of such grains are
being threshed damp" he explains.
"For this reason these grains, when
threshed, should be placed in shall
low bins and shoveled over once a
day for week or. two in order to
prevent heating and molding."
Moore pleads for special care in the
handling of pedigreed grains stored
for seed. The 1926 crop depends, he
declares, on how the seed is taken
care Of after threshing.
