One of Country's Largest
Producers Describes Soil
Building Methods

Tobacco growers Of this Sec
ton who include corn in their
rotation will be interested in the
cultural methods Of w. J.
Jacques of Prescott, Wis, one
of the largest field seed corn
growers of the country. Sam
pies of his crop have just reached
the Offices of The American Agri-
cultural Chemical Company at
Greensboro, N. G.. Aside from
the outstanding yields obtained
by Mr.. Jacques, as high as 1O6
bushels an acre, his methods
built up soil fertility instead OF
sapping it.
A75-bushel per acre corn crop
takes 20 pounds of nitrogen, 80
pounds Of phosphate and ~
pounds Of potash from the soil.
Farming methods in this section
provide only soda, or nitrogen,
to replace the plant foods used
up by the corn crop, thus leaving
the soil in less fertile condition
for tobacco a heavy feeder on
phosphate and potash. Obvl-
ously, a balanced fertilizer such
as 3-12-6. which costs no more
than soda, will produce more AM

animal with its long, keen tail.
In their flight through the field,
the mules ran over a stump. The

snake caught on this stump and
snapped in twain, the traces thus

the terrorizing reptile, the mules
were soon quoted, and Mr.. Eaton

Who's going to pay most of the fed
eral debt which stands today at thirty
billion dollars and may pass thirty
four billion by the end of June? The
man who makes less than 5000 year.
He's got to; he's the only one who has
money enough.
Recently, the United States News, a
non-partisan weekly newspaper pub
lished in Washington, emphasized these
facts.
In 1884, individuals with incomes
under 5000 year made 81 500, zoo, 900;
those with incomes between 5000 and
$4,000 made s., 900; those with
incomes over $25,00O made s., ,0OO,-
600.
In that same year, Uncle Sam took
in direct income taxes nearly a third
of the money made by those in the
$4,000 group, one hirtieth Of what the
5000 $4,000 group made, and one
hundred and thirtieth Of the in
come of those in the less than $4,000
classification.
The late Henry T. Rainey, once
speaker OF the national house of repre-
sentatives, expressed this as the ideal
tax philosophy: ITO get the most
feathers with the least squawking of
the goose" In recent years, legislators
have been spending freely and boosting
taxes only on big incomes, because
there are fewer big incomes and there
fore less squawking. But here's some
thing to think about
A federal debt Of $4,000 900 900
means a debt of 1912 for each man,
woman and child in the United States.
Some day taxes will have to be as
sessed to pay that debt Taxes are
levied only against things that promise
returns. When the time Of reckoning
comes, where are the legislators going
to turn? To the group that made ST.
500,000000? Or to the group that made
five times that much, namely the less
than 900 year-man?
