wise Useless Land Raise
Good Crops-Grant County
Farms Popular

Carson, N. D., Grant County Agent
In driving through the northern
part Of the county last week ! dis.
covered two duckfoot cultivators u
work preparing the soil for the seed
On one piece Of land particularly ]
noticed that they had never raised q
crop Of wheat on this piece Of land
for many years and that this at
tempt will be now to find out
whether this duckfoot. cultivator
will answer the purpose for which
it is built, namely; the prevention Of
blowing the soil.
This field is located in such .
place as to insure its bringing .
crop, but due to the fact that il
blows every year it completely Grad
icates all green growth with the
exception Of the Russian thistle.
Two years ago noticed in par
ticular, while driving between two
fields, this one that is now being
duckfooted and another one just
across the road, that there wasn't a
Spear Of green on the one on the
right while the one on the left had
about a foot and q half growth Of
fine wheat on it.
It will be of interest to notice the
effect Of duckfooting this soil this
year and to find out for certain
whether it will prevent the soil from
blowing.
Believes They Will Prove O. X.
The Economic Conference at New
England made mention Of the fact
that the duckfoot has a place in
light soil and I am mighty pleased
to see several fellows using them
this year. I am personally con-
WINGED that they are going to do. the
work that is cut out. for them and
will find more popularity as time
goes on.
Another good feature Of the duck
foot is that it can be used success
fully in following ground to elimi-
nate . good many of the noxious
weeds that we have here in the
county. 1t has been impossible to
summer fallow, as we understand
summer fallow, in a good bit Of this
area because of the blowing effect
which results from the blowing, but
by using the duckfoot the soil can
be kept black, yet rough enough,

BATTLE SEEN
OYER ATTEMPT
TO CUT TAXES
Democrats Insist Reduction
Can Be Larger Than Ad.
ministratiOn Plans

Washington, March 30.-tR-
Next weeks senate committee room
ffRht over tax reduction took on
added significance today with pub
lication Of the treasury's latest es-
innate OF the probable surplus the
next fiscal year and the develop
ment that the Democrats are pre-
pairing to maintain stiff opposition
to the Administrations plans for .
cut below its original $225, O00, 900
recommendation.
Speaking in Chicago last night,
under Secretary Mills Of the trea-
sury said that because the depart
ment had made no allowances for
increased appropriations due to
new legislation, its first estimate OF
$3.50 100000 for the indicated 1929
surplus had been cut $37, 000. 900.
Moreover, he added, the new $685.
100000 figure did not take into &C
count probable additional expendi-
lures for flood and farm relief.
Offers Revised Program
For this reason, Mills asserted,
the original recommendation Of the
treasury for 1925 900, 900 tax cut
would have to be reduced and he
outlined the following revised pro-
gram which the department is pre-
pared to submit next Tuesday be-
fore the senate finance committee
when that body meets behind closed
doors to consider the $290,00O,00O
reduction bill passed by the house:
"A reduction of the corporation
income tax, some additional measure
Of relief to the smaller corporations,
q modified revision of the income
tax rates applicable to the middle
brackets and the repeal Of the fed
eral estate tax"
This revised program, looking to
the scaling down Of the proposed
tax cut to $500, 600, 900 or less, is
not going to have very smooth sail
ing in the senate committee, in the
opinion of the Democratic men,
beers, even though the Republican
Independents, who hold the balance
of power, arc in favor Of applying
the surplus to reducing the public
debt.
Simmons Wants Larger Cut
Senator Simmons of North Caro-
lima, ranking Democrat on the COM
mittee, who has expressed the opin-
ion that q cut Of three or four hum
dred million dollars was possible,
declared yesterday that he was as
tonished, in view of reports that
the March Is tax returns appeared
to show an increase over the last
year at the treasury efforts to
guard against reduction Of more
than 5000, 0OO, 900.
He held the treasury had been in
consistent in indicating that the
proposed cut must be held down to
$500, 100000 or less and called at
tentipnt that the government wound
up last fiscal year with q surplus
Of more than $500, 100000.
If tax receipts as indicated by
the first returns this year are
greater than those of year ago"
he said, I'VE certainly are going to
have an abundant margin on which
to give relief for taxpayers in dire
need Of assistance"

the union officials in the Keith and
Perry Building in Kansas where con-
tracts were signed were usually trans
formed into booze parties. In Kansas
City Lewis perpetrated his betrayal
of the eastern miners by signing up
separate agreements. This policy was
later perfected by district officials I'M
til now they have it down to a science
with individual mines signing up in
such a way that the forces of the
miners are still further weakened.
In District ID, Iowa, within the last
year and half the policy of Lewis
henchman has lest the major part Of
the district, The separate agreement
within the district was followed in
1922 with Appanoose County striking
while the miners of the north were
allowed to work. In a short time the
forces were 6emoralized and a Com
pany Union sprung up in Appanoose
County, which signed on the 1917
scale. This was followed by similar
steps by the Officials of District
IS, Missouri. The former President
Heems of District 25, could see far
enough ahead to know the final result
so this Lewis Official started a
company union at Lexington and
signed up under the 1917 scale. In
Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas the
miners were forced back to work as
non-union miners with the 1917 scale
prevailing. Lewis and his henchman
forced these miners of the southwest
to take this stand to keep from star
wing to death.
The most severe blow delivered by
the Lewis machine and the operators
against the miners of the southwest
