SUGGESTS SEEDING
, TOMATOES IN FIELD
Lower Cost Will Offset
I Smaller Yields.
By w. A. HUELSEN

Seeding tomatoes directly in the
field thus eliminating the expense
Of transplanting has considerable
commercial promise, according to
the college of agriculture, Univer-
sity of Illinois, Urbana.
Experiments conducted by the ag-
ricultural college last year compar-
ing direct seeding with transplant
ing in the usual way showed only
"a slight increase in yields in favor
of the transplanted tomatoes. How
ever, this advantage is more than
compensated by the lower cost OF
direct seeding.
Interplanting tomatoes with field
corn is another new and novel
method of growing tomatoes, a
method that protects the tomato
fruits from sun scald. In expert
ments conducted at Urbana by the
college Of agriculture, tomatoes
planted the usal way in 1888 pro-
duced a total of re tons an acre.
The interplanted tomatoes produced
AZ tons of tomatoes and 55 bushels
of shelled corn an acre. The
acre income was $3.50 for the to-
matoes planted in the usual way
and $81 so for the interplanted acre,
valueing corn at As cents bushel.
Additional tests indicate the i'm
portance Of early planting. Toma-
toes planted on May IL produced 10
tons an acre, but when setting was
delayed until June 5, the yields
dropped to four and one-haf tons
an acre. Still later paintings re-
Huced the yields further.

Everyone gained weight and the gen

YOUR federal INCOME TAX
Forms For Making Returns

Forms for filing returns of income
Tor 1888 have been sent to persons
who filed returns last year. Failure
to receive a form, however, does not
relieve taxpayer of his obligation to
file his return and pay the tax on
time-on or before March Is if the
return IS made on the calenuar-year
basis, as is the case with most indi-
viduals.
Forms may be obtained upon re-
quest, written or personal, from the
offices of collectors of internal revenue
and deputy collectors A person
whose net income for 1888 was deriv.
ed chiefly from salary or wages and
was not in excess of $4,000 should
make his return on Form 104OA. A
person whose net income was in ex.
cess Of $4,000, or, regardless of am.
cunt, was derived from business
profession, rents, or sale of property
is required to use Form 1910. Failure
to use the proper forms presents diff
ficulties to both the taxpayer and the
Bureau of Internal Revenue. Therefore
ii is emphasized that taxpayer who
is liable for return and is engaged III
business or profession from which he
derived net income of less than
$4,000 is required to use Form 1910
The return must be filed with the
collector of internal revenue for the
district in which the taxpayer has his
legal residence or principal place of
business on or before midnight of
March Is, 1899. The tax may be paid
If full at the time of filing the re
turn or in four equal installments, due
on or before March Is, June Is, Sep
TENDER Is, and December Is.

Large Crowd AT
C.. of C.. Session

The Chamber of Commerce banquet
at Womack' g cafe Tuesday evening
attracted crowd of nearly 40 persons
despite adverse weather conditions
This is the largest gathering to attend
a Chamber meeting in recent years
Secretary Ben Fitch read several let
ters among which was one from Ralph
bunker, assistant superintendent of
state parks, in which bunker stated
that $4,000 had been included in
the park IS budget this year for work
around the rim of Dry Falls. How
ever, he said, this appropriation was
dependent upon action of the legis-
lature in approving allotments for the
park board.
A letter from Rep. j. G. White re-
vealed information that the Coulee
City5Soap Lake road was a primary
highway. This question was brought
up at previous meeting of the group.
White asked that pictures of Dry
Falls be sent him by the Chamber,
as he wished to present them to mem
bers of the legislature prior to ask
ing for park improvements.
Sharp criticism was leveled ut Gov
ernor Martin by F. w. Mccain, chair
man OF the roads committee, over his
attitude regarding park allotments
The governor has asked that park ap-
preparations be cut down at time
when it seems the State of Washing
ton will receive its largest number of
visitors, Mccain said. With world
fairs in San Francisco and New York,
travel is sure to be greater than ever,
and improvements should be increas-
ed and not cultailed at this time.
The chairman emphasized that the
tourist business is rapidly developing
into one of this state s most lucrative
sources of income, and that every
thing possible should be made to en-
courage it.
Quite q longe discussion conferred
around releasing of the municipal
airport. 1t was decided to continue
the lease providing funds are avail
able.
Frank Lindblad, Giant county pow
er commissioner, was present and gave
a brief outline of work being carried
on in the public utility districts. He
| explained measures now pending il
the state legislature and how they
would affect the districts.

ROSS COMES OUT AGAINST
POWER PROPERTY TAXES

From hospital bed in Rochester,
Minnesota, Bonneville Administrator
]. D. Ross today voiced his disapprov-
al Of constitutional amendment to tax
public power systems on property
basis.
In telegram to W. j. McKeen of
the Seattle Light Department, Ross
indicated his opposition to senate
joint resolution No. II, Washington
which would authorize taxing munich
pal power properties. He emphatically
denied reports circulated in Olympia
that he favored such tax.
81 am absolutely opposed to tax
ing of properties of public power sys:
TENS. I am not taking any stand on
the tax question: he said "but
whatever tax is assessed should be a
percentage of gross income. We have
that tax now and it works well.''
The Bonneville chief repeatedly has
opposed efforts to base power taxes
on property values. He has declared
that assessments on generating plants
and power lines vary with each coun-
ty assessor, and such taxes bear no
real relation to the income from cleo
tricity.
Ross indicated that the present ex-
else tax on power revenues paid by
all public systems is more equitable
that the taxes collected go back to
all the people, not just to an isolated
county where dam has been con-
structed. He also has pointed out that
public power systems are required by
law to pay off their bond, which he
says is equivalent to "direct dona-
ton to the public treasury of millions
OF dollars annually
