Not From A "Tory@

Studies OF the effects Of process
ing taxes have been made, particn-
larly in relation to wheat, cotton
and hogs. Briefly the findings are
that professors in general have not
absorbed the taxes but that they
have been passed on to the consum-
er or have tended to lower prices to
farmer below what these prices
would be if some means other than
processing taxes Rere available for
financing the program"
This comes not from the Republic
can national chairman or from
other familiar critics of the AAA,
but from DR.. A. G.. Black, chief of
the Bureau of Agricultural Econo-
mics in Washington. The fact that
the farmers, as well as the consum-
ers, are not doing as well with pro-
cessing taxes in effect as they would
without them, ought to obliterate

The PIOIU That Turned the
Soil With a Singing Sound

OF the many steps by which plows
have progressed from the crooked
stick powered by the muscles OF
man to modern methods of turning
the soil, none were more important
than improvements undertaken by
James Oliver beginning in 1853. Oil
yer wanted a plow that would
turn the soil with a singing
sound" says a record of the Bureau
of Agricultural Engineering.
Cast-iron plows made about that
time were superior to wooden plows
but they wore too rapidly and
would not seour properly in the
rich, sticky soils of the Mississippi
and Ohio Valleys. They rooted, but
would not invert, the soil"
divers experiments led him to
obtain several patents for the pro-
cess Of hardening or chilling the
nose and cutting edge Of the share"
Thus re realized his ambition for
plow that sang as it cut It's way
through rich prairie sod OF heavy
soil.
