That Soy Bean Patch at

One thing wrong with that patch
Of display soy beans at the county

Y should beat in number of varieties
any old pickle maker down in Penn
sylyania Be that as it may, there is
a difference in those beans ana
chance to exercise a preference.
To all appearances the soil is aoso-
lutely even, yet the beans are not
quite even. Some are larger than
others, but the main difference is IN
the color of the foliage. That may not
be important, only this year is great
Tor dark greens-note the color OF
corn. It is evident, in riding through
the country, that a majority or the
farmers are planting soy beans WIN
corn, especially in fields that may De
cut for the silo.
Most important, a plant was pulled
out of the patch at the county farm,
and while it was not anywhere near
maturity, there were the nodules. anu
where there are nodules, there is stor-
ed the nitrogen that farmers are SO
desirous of getting into the SOIL.
Farmers will do well to see tnat
patch of beans. 1t is at the three cor

STATE GETS HALF MILLION MONTH
FROM NEW GASOLINE TAX LAW

Over million and a quarter dol
lars has now been collected under
Wisconsin's new Gasoline Tax Law.
figures made public by state treas
urer Solomon Levitan recently show
that collections for the month of June
to have ashrdl etao shrdl etaoi shrdl
to date total up to $1,258,052.15. 1t is
expected the returns still to come in
will swell June collections well over
the half million mark.
Wisconsin's gas tax is operating
smoothly, according to Mr.. Levitan,
and is bringing in to the treasury for
the construction and maintenance of
our splendid system of state highways
nearly half a million dollars month.
But few people perhaps realize the
stupendOus amount of work that was
necessary in order to organize the adj
ministrative machinery for the collec-
ton Of this tax.
When Governor Blaine affixed his
signature to the bill and made it law
people congratulated each other and
sat back to watch it work.
1t was discovered at a conference of
gas dealers that there was a loophole
in the Wisconsin law which would
have caused the loss of large sum of
money to the state through the failure
Of the law to apply to the millions of
gallons of gas on hand when the
law was to go into effect. The legisla-
ture at once changed the law so as to
remedy this flaw.
First of all it was necessary, in ac-
cOrdance with the law as it had been
changed to determine the amount of
gas on hand in the state on April 1
when the law went into effect. To find
this out it was necessary to get into
touch with every gasoline dealer in
the state, from the big distributing
companies to the smallest little road
side dealer
In the meantime inventory blanks
had been prepared and $4,000 of these
We're sent out to every retail dealer
that could be reached directly and
through wholesale distributors in the
bargain so as to prevent anyone being
missed.
The smaller dealers sent IN their
checks for the gas they had on hand.
The larger dealers and distributors
fled their inventories and paid their
taxes as they made their sales.
All this time there had been
thousand other details to work out for
the actual collection of the tax. All
the necessary report blanks and forms
had to be compiled and distributed to
dealers
All this had to be done before April

are essentially the result of a pur-
chasing power in the country that
equals the country's producing pow
err"
Emphasizing the Importance of this
factor, Mr. Nordman stated that we
positively cannot attain the necessary
purchasing power unless compensation
is strictly on service basis. This will
cause the producers to get full value
Tor their services and make it possible
Tor them to buy each others products.
Questions of this character, he said,
must be given precedence in the flu
ture by statesmen and economists
over questions of greater efficiency in
either the production or the mechan-
les of distribution.
Concluding his address Mr.. Nordman
said that the questions most closely
associated with distribution are the
land and tax questions, stating that
really scientific tax policy will auto
matlcally produce a sound land pol
ICY, and sound land policy will, in
its turn, equalize opportunity and give
all parties who contribute to produc-
ton equal bargaining power. An
equal bargaining power will enable the
producers to obtain just compensation
which, as was stated above, is the
essential prerequisite for good mar
kets.
No one but the exploiters, said Mr..
Nordman, need fear this change in our
land and fiscal policies.
There is no doubt that if these
changes were made effective, the ex-
ploiters and forestallers of opportunity
would be obliged to go to work, but
men and women of initiative and in
dustry would be gamers thereby.

MARKET DEPENDS ON: EQUALITY
or PRODUCING-BUYING POWER

Speaking before the Guernsey
Breeders Association at Oconomowoc
last Thursday Edward Nordman. COM
missioner of markets, complimented
the association for the splendid work
it is doing in improving the Guernsey
breed, mentioning that he himself is.
and has been for many years. a Guern-
sey breeder in connection with his
farming operations in Langlade coun-
ty.
Referring to factors governing bust
ness, Mr.. Nordman said there was one
fact relating to their enterprise that
Guernsey breeders, as well as other
farmers, needed to have better knowl-
edge of. That is the fact that Guern-
sey breeders cannot prosper unless
the Holstein people prosper nor unless
this prosperity is extended to the beef
farmer, the pork farmer, and the
grain, vegetable and fruit farmer This
group of producers can be enlarged to
include the whole category of pro
ducers, the prosperity of each group
depending upon the prosperity of all
the other groups. Mr. Nordman an
piled the term producer" to all per
sons who perform useful services in
GLIDING business and professional men.
as well as farmers and laborers.
"The big questions that are now be-
fore the people" continued Mr.. Nord-
man, 'are the questions of more effic-
lent production, but of greater justice
in the distribution of the vast wealth
that the producers of this country are
capable of turning out. A Just dis
tribution is absolutely needed as the
basis for building up a system of good
markets and of stabilized business
conditions. Good markets." he said,

he recalls an addition that was built
