NEW TAX
Great Falls Tribune)


Now that it is generally admit
ted among the legislators that the
states revenues must be i~ncreas-
ed, considerable thought is being
given to various methods Of col
lecting more taxes from those who
are most able to pay. Proposals
to this end were made in the low
er house Monday by James A.
~Jergensen of Jefferson county and
H. E. Benjamin of Toole county.
Obviously, these men want to get
away from an increased burden
upon real property such as they
believe would result if classified
taxable valuations were boosted to
a single level for the state levy.
sonal income tax, resembling the
federal income tax. Though the
bill has not been drafted, it is
said that it will be patterned after
the New York income tax law.
Exemptions from income would
not be as large for married men
as now provided in the federal
law. Mr.. Jergensen thinks the
spread between $4,000 for married
men and $1,000 for single men is
toe great, and he would shorten
the gap by reducing married mems
exemption.
He proposes that this tax should
be collected by county treasurers
and that 20 percent of the revenue
SO derived would go to the coun-
ties and 80 percent to the state.
There will be sharp differences
of opinion al to the efficacy OF a
personal income tax law In Mont
ana. 1t can be said In its favor
that 1t would, in all probability,
reach individuals, such as wage
and professional men, who
are not now paying taxes in any
great sum directly on real prop
erty.
But In this connection 1t is we'll
worth noting that the brunt of the
burden will fall on the average

ranges from $500 to 5000 a year

Potato Bugs Controlled
by Using Lead Arsenate

Potato bugs can be controlled by
using lead arsenate or Paris green ap-
piled either as dust or spray. If
the arsenate is sprayed it is used at
the rate of one pound to so gallons OF
water. If Paris green is used it IS
used in the ratio one pound to 100
gallons of water. The spray is more
effective than the dust because it
sticks on the plants better.
The busting method Is the cheaper
and for that reason is preferred by
many farmers. When lead arsenate
is busted. it is used at the rate of one
pound with 10 pounds of flour or hy-
drafted lime which act as carriers.
The ratio for Paris green is one
pound to 20 of the carrier. The dust
can be applied by shaking through
can or from porous sack.
The flea beetle, another pest of po-
tatOes, is best controlled by using a
4-4-50 bordeaux mixture. This con-
sists of four pounds. of copper sui
plate, four pounds of freshly slaked
lime and so gallons of water. The
flea beetle works on all garden crops.
Its work can be identified by the shot
like holes in the leaves.

Cooling Moth Is
Expensive Pest
Apple Growers Must Rely
on Lead Arsenate to
Destroy Them.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The cOdling moth is at present the
most serious insect pest with which
the apple and pear growers of the Pa
cific Northwest have to contend.
Losses from the worms" in some
years average as high as 20 per cent
of the total crop. or even as high as
30 per cent in individual cases. By
the use of proper methods, however,
many growers keep their losses well
below 5 per cent.
Plan to Control.
In order to control the codling moth
it is essential to understand its sea-
sonal history under local conditions.
There are two generations of the
cooling moth a season in the Pacific
Northwest, and the various stages in
these overlap. Except for a short
interval worms are Matching and at
lacking the fruit from the latter part
of May to October. Apple growers
must rely mainly on spraying with
lead arsenate from one to six times
during the season, according to their
locality and the prevalence Of the
pest there. A carefully worked out
spray schedule must be used, timed to
protect the fruit at certain definite
stages of its growth and of the de-
velopment of the worms

mologists, has recently been revised.
1t describes the life history of the
codling moth and contains a chart
showing how and when the various
stages of the pest develop. Spray
schedules for both apples and pears
are given. The Importance of the
calyx spray is emphasized. and it is
urged that no other farm operations,
such as irrigating, cultivating, or ham
ding alfalfa in the orchard should be
allowed to interfere with the spray
program.
FUNGUS Diseases.
Two fungous diseases of apples,
powdery mildew and scab, are con-
trolled by spraying with lime-sulphur
at approximately the same time that
the spraying for the codling moth is
done. 1t is often convenient to COM
bine the materials used for the TWO
operations and spray them together
on the trees. Directions for doing
this are included in the bulletin.

Clothes for Stout Women

prepared by the United States Department

A woman who is of medium stout
build must choose her summer ward
robe with especial care if she wishes
both TO feel comfortable and look
well. Fortunately there is now such
wide variety in washable cotton fab
that she can easily find a sufficient
number to supply her needs and per-
nit frequent changes of costume. In
planning the design of her summer
dresses, however, it may be that de-
tails which would look well in silk
or other fabrics would not be practi
cal in those intended for Tubing. The
simpler and less trimmed the gar
ment, as a rule, the more successfully
can it be Numbered and the cooler
il is on a ScOrching summer day.
Here is a particularly good summer
dress for the women inclined to
weight. 1t was photographed by the
bureau of home economics TO show
what could be done with blue dotted
swiss, trimmed with valenciennes
edging. The dress is made in two
pieces. with the tucked. lace-trimmed
vest made on the bodice from which
the skirt is hung. The blouse is fin
iShed by a belt which ties in front
and gives the dress the appearance
of One-piece dress. A long rolling
fitted collar edged with lace COM
pletes the blouse. Cuffs of tucks and
lace are attached to half the bottom
of the sleeve and the other half is
hemmed and allowed to hang out
from the arm.
Fullness for the knees is provided
by several large inverted box plaits
