TWENTY PERCENT FOR TAXES

An illuminating article on the heavy burden Of
taxation borne by the American people appeared m
a. recent issue of the United States News, which
shows that 20 per cent, or one-ffth, of the entire
national is swallowed up by federal state and
local taxation.
This is more than is spent for food, and much
more than is spent for clothing and rent on homes
combined Careful estimates indicate that the av-
erage citizens dollar of income is spent as follows
Taxes, zoe; food tic; clothing, &C., rent, Sc;
automobile &c; fuel and light SC; household furnish
ings &c; Insurance. &c. medical attention, travel and
recreation and the movies. about &c each; tobacco
and laundry 1c each. This leaves about 19c for
miscellaneous expenses and savings These figures
averages and vary greatly according to ind1vid-
ual incomes and spending habits.
Persons who own little property may mag
inc that they do not contribute much in the way OF
taxes but it should be borne in mind that all taxes
are finally passed to the ultimate consumer Of
goods services.
The nations tax bin is now more than nine bill
lion dollars year. and the federal government, as
well as many state and local governments are still
going frther and farther in debt What the tax bill
will be little later only be guessed, but it is
sure to be much higher than at present if govern
ment spending it's present lavish scale continues

Agricultural Notes
Make New Farmhouse Plans
for Minnesota

Two new plans for Minnesota
farmhouses, worked out at Univer-
sity Farm this year, are now ready
for distribution in blue print form,
says H. B. White, farm buildings
specialist. Plan 324 is a % by "a
foot, one-story four room house.
Plan 325-326 in 26 by 26, two
story, six room house. The cost for
building one of these houses is
around $4,000, depending on the
amount Of labor and material furn-
ished on the farm.
The plans were worked out in CO.
operation with the Presidents rur-
al housing project and have been
sent to Washington, as well as be.
ing added to the series of more than
80 house plans previously prepared
by the University division Of agri-

Public Much Confused About
Fish TauewOrmS

Though it is true that fish may
transmit tapeworms to human be-
ings, there is no connection what
ever between this risk and the
ringed, ribbon-like tapeworms so
commonly found in the intestines
of bass, crappies and other game
fish, says DR.. w. A. Riley, chief of
the division Of entimology and eco
nomic zoology at University Farm.
The kind of tapeworms that infest
humans appear only in the flesh of
fish and are so small that most peo-
pie never notice them.
"The fact that fish harbor the
immature stages of a tapeworm
which develops in man has receiv-
ed much publicity in Minnesota in
recent years." says DR.. Riley. GAS
a result many inquiries come to
the experiment station. Almost in
variably suspicion has been aroused
by finding the ribbon-like tapeworm-
Such forms are found everywhere
in fish and are in no wise harmful
to man. The dangerous species is
found in the flesh of fish, in a
stage which is entirely different in
appearance from the adult and is
usually only a fraction of an inch
in length. It is quite likely to be
overlooked entirely and is killed
when the fish is properly cooked.

worms so commonly found in the
intestine of fish are species which
have undergone their young, OF

SEWARDS FOLLY

When Secretary of State Seward negotiated the
purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1857 for $780,,
600, the transaction severely criticized by many,
and by some it termed Stewards Folly" But
subsequent events have proved it to have been a
very good buy after all
Since the discovery of gold in 1880, mere than
400 mlion dollars worth of the precious metal has
been produced, and the output still exceeds 10 million
dollars year Until the price of copper dropped so
low, from five to seven million dollars worth of that
metal was mined each year, while the salmon pack
value has ranged from q to As million dollars in
cent years. The normal lumber cut from Alaska
forests is from 40 to so million board feet.
Alaskas present population is 10000, almost
equally divided between whites and Indians. There

Repeated trials have demonstrate
ed that the most effective control is
by fumigating with hydrocyanic
acid gas, says this circultr. This is
generated by the action of sulphur
ic acid upon sodium or potassium
cyanide.
AS the success Of the Immigration

closed inside the infested buildings
for several hours, there is little
use trying to fumigate bunk hous-

as possible.
Miss Hobart suggests that this
process Of getting the meat canned
can be fastened by cooperative eff
fort by dividing a carcass between
two or more neighbors, or by wo-
men exchanging help on canning
days. State Bacteriologist G. A.
Vacha suggests hours as the limit
to aim at between dressing and
canning. The exact line of safety
will depend somewhat on weather
and other conditions, such as
weather the uncanned meat can be
kept in cool basement while wait
ing, or put to boiling, and so on. In
any event, keeping the raw meat in
hot kitchen should be avoided.

cessing and other steps in canning

AIRSHIP Is SCRAPPED

After being put out of active commission two
years ago a measure of economy, the United
States Navy Dirigble Los Angelesh as been declared
unfit for further fight on account Of deterioration
of her metal structure She is the first rigid drigbe
to complete normal span of life without meeting
disaster.
The Los Angeles, originally designated as the
ZR3 built in Germany for the United States I'M
der the terms of the peace treaty after the World
War, and delivered at Lakehurst, N j., on Oc-
tober 49, 1924 after fight of 5000 miles from Ger

A notable feat of the Los Angeles was that OF
making the first landing of dirgibie on a carrier
ship at sea. accomplished January u, 1928, when
she came to rest the deck Of the naval carrier
Saratoga. She made number of notable trips, in
Guiding flights to Cuba and the Canal Zone.
Scrapping of the Los Angeles leaves only two
large rigid airships in the world the United States
Nays Macon and the Graf Zeppelin, of Germany.
All the rest have been destroyed in disasters with
the result that the building of this type of aircraft
has been abandoned by all nations except the United
States and Germany. They might well follow suit,

Speedy Canning Urged for
Meat

Provided the meat is gotten into
the can and into the cooker quick
ly after killing, freshly slaughter
ed meat may be safely canned
without chilling, according to a
statement issued by the U. s. Bur.
eau of Home Economics and con-
Cured in by the meat inspection
service of s--e u. s. Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry. Meat so canned may
be less tender, but otherwise will
be equally as good as that canned
after chilling, it has been found:
This assurance from the home
economics buerau is of great con-
sequence to farm people in the
emergency drouth areas, says Miss
Inez Hobart, extension foods spec
ialist, University Farm, who is
now serving as nutritionist for the
Estate emergency relief administra-
ton. In many cases, farmers in the
drouth areas far removed from re-
frlgeration facilities, will have to
kill some of their animals, leaving
the choice of wasting the meat or
Gaming it unchilled.
Wherever possible, chilling is
advised. Frequently a creamery OF
produce plant will be able to help
out. For permission to operate
such plants for emergency meat

should be made to the State Dairy
and Food Inspection office in Min,

is dressed.
Regulate the number of animals

Ideal Time to Dip Sheep Flock
Is Now

Dip the sheep right now, while
the wool is short and the weather
warm, urges p. A. Anderson, sheep
specialist of the University Farm
Division of animal hubsandry. Dip
ping is especially important in
focks where ticks were found at
shearing time. Even if no ticks
can be seen now on the shorn
sheep, they are undoubtedly pres
ent on the lambs from which they
will be spread to the entire flock
before winter. Furthermore, If
badly infested, the lambs will not
make proper gains.
The dipping of sheep to avoid I'M
thriftiness and the loss of wood
by the constant irritation of the
sheep tick and louise should be an
annual event, and would be if the
loss of wool and feed were con-
sidered in dollars and cents. There
are many types of sheep dips on
the market. Only the best should
be purchased. Unless one of the
standard dips is used, trial solu-
ton should be made up to show
the strength Of dip needed.
Important points to consider
about dipping sheep include:. Cd
Keep sheep in yard the night be-
fore; (2) Select a bright day and
start dipping early so sheep will
dry off before evening; g, Use soft
water or a water softener with
hard water as the dip dissolves
more completely in soft water; az
Heat the water to take off the chill.
Many losses have resulted from cold
water. 90 Keep the dipping solu-
ton we'll stirred and leave sheep in
long enough to destroy the ticks
and lice; go Give the sheep a few
hours rest before driving them to
pasture; Cd Handle all sheep care
fully when dipping, avoieing all
rough handling.
Sheep known to be heavily infest,
ed should be dipped again in Il
days, unless a sheep dip of high
quality is used and the manufac.
turer maintains second dipping is
not necessary, says Mr.. Anderson.

Farm Research Must Go On,
Saws Wallace

Agricultural research and agricul-
tual adjustment march together,
says Henry "a. Wallace, secretary
of agriculture. In a recent state
ment, the secretary points out that
farmers still have need of the more
efficient methods developed and adj
vocated by agricultural colleges and
experiment stations and the u. S.
Department of Agriculture, even
though they are reducing the to-
tai production of agricultural COM
modities through the AAlA.
What would happen were farm
ers to abandon science, or even to
use it with greatly decreased eff
ficiency?" asks Mr.. Wallace. They
would have to continue blowing,
sowing and reaping. But they
would use poor machinery, poor
technique, and poor seed. They
would allow pests and diseases to
ravage their crops and would har-
vest inefficiently what remained.
By so doing they would certainly
reduce the output. But they would
do so at a cost ruinous to them

agriculture needs not less
science in it's production, but more
science in its economic life. It is
possible to have a full science, en-
bracing the distribution as well as
the production of wealth.
In the last year our farmers
have taken their first steps toward
matching efficiency in production
with efficiency in economic adjust
ment. Action taken under the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Act of 1898
enables farmers to plan their pro-
duction. It seeks to transform
blind competition into broad-vision-
ed cooperation, and to correct the
result of previous mistakes. Mean
time scientists continue their re-
search in various problems of farm
production. These two kinds of &C
tivity must march together"
