FARM CALENDAR
Himely Reminders from The Penn-
:sylvania State College School of
Agriculture.
Plan the 1925 Crop--With the new
year of forming operations already
Started, it 1s well to lay out a plan of
Crop planting for the coming season.
By planning ahead on paper at an
«early date, plenty of time is given to
the over prospective changes. In
. figuring out next spring’s crops, do
mot forget alfalfa. Circular-104 is-
: «sued free by the Pennsylvania State
‘Lollege ‘extension service, State Col-
Jdege, Pa., tells all about this wonder-
ful legume hay crop.
Prevent Concrete Freezing--Farm-
“ers who mix concrete in the winter
»will ‘have no trouble if they will heat
“the materials, such as sand, stone and
“water, :and keep the work covered to
prevent freezing until the concrete is
Set. This applies to walks and septic
ttatiks. Building of concrete posts
warm
wveather.
‘Keep These Resolutions--There are
ccertain resolutions which the aver-
zage poultryman should not break.
“Such things as keeping cost accounts,
«more careful management of birds,
better methods of marketing pro-
«ducts, and an endeavor to treat cus-
‘tomers squarely will not only benefit
" “the operations of the poultryman but
~will tend. to create a better feeling
«with the buying public.
Avoid Seed Collections--Gardeners
=should avoid ordering seeds in made-
«ap collections, as they usually contain
some varieties and crops of which the
family is not fond and a shortage or
«defictency of those vegetables especi-
zally liked. Ordering to the family’s
«needs and desires is the best plan.
Give Plants a Chance—Success with
“indoor plants depends upon keeping
ithe leaves clean because it is through
“the leaves that water evaporates.
“Covering the plants with a cloth
‘when sweeping and dusting will keep
“them clean.
“Watered Steck” —Cows producing
:milk require water, lots of it. It is
~pood dairy practice to see that they
get all that they want, at least twice
za day. A cow does not like it iced,
~either. Warmed drirking water will
~show results in the milk pail.
Attend House Plants—Now that
{there is nothing much to do with out-
sdoor plants, it is well to give careful
dttention to the house plant. Water
them when they need it and watch for
red spiders. These pests can be
routed ’by putting water on the leaves.
iWedk tobacco tea also turns the
trick ‘but unfortunately it stains
white Howers.
iHave Delicious Greens—Asparagus
is a fine early green which should be
in every garden. From 50 to 100
roots will be sufficient for a family
of two to five people. Extension Leaf-
let No. 19, which is free for the ask-
‘ing, can be secured by writing to
Pennsylvania State College, Pa.
Mating for Hatching Eggs—If
hatching eggs are to be collected for
early season incubation, it is time to
piace the breeding males in the pen.
It is just as undesirable to use too
many males as too few. The proper
ratio is one male to 20 females for
"Leghorns and one male te 12 or 15
females in the case of American or
. dual purpose breeds.
Care for Brood Sows—Are the
‘brood sows getting plenty of exer-
«cise these winter days? Be sure that
they also get sufficient protein and
mineral matter to maintain their
, body weight and develop a good
litter of pigs. :

FARMER FEELS THE EFFECT
is Inclined to Forget, at Times, That
He Is Most Vitally Interested in
Prosperity of Near-by
Cities.
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
Taxes are always heavy—to the man
who has to pay them—but taxes in
some communities are much higher
than in others. If you have ever
stopped to investigate the matter you
have discovered that the lowest taxes
are found in the most prosperous comw-
munities. And there's a reason.
"The prosperous community has the
lowest taxes because there is a large
amount of wealth in the community
against which the taxes may be as-
sessed. There are prosperous mer-
chants with large stocks of goods up-
on which taxes are levied. Property
values are high and there are thriving
industries which pay a large propor
tion of the taxes.
The higher the property values and
the greater the wealth of the commu-
nity the lower are the tax levies, for a
lower tax on each hundred dollars of
valuation is required to produce the
necessary revenue for the administra-
tion of the city and county govern-
ments.
Other Taxes Are Raised.
On the other hand, take a dead towL.
Property values are low. Merchants’
stocks are small and they have little
money in the bank, Industries which
ordinarily pay a large part of the taxes
of a community have closed down.
There are vacant store buildings which
were formerly filled with stocks of
merchandise upon which the owners
paid heavy taxes. Who pays the taxes
that were once paid by the mechants,
the manufacturers, the bankers and
the men who had large holdings of
high-priced property! The taxes to
conduct the city and county govern-
ments, to maintain the schools, to build
and repair the roads must be collect-
ed from someone. Who pays them?
The man who owns his little home or
the vacant lot or two upon which he
has been planning to build his home
must pay double or triple the amount
which he paid in the times when the
town was prosperous, to make up for
the taxes which are not paid now by
the merchants, the bankers, the manu-
facturers and the big property owners
who bore the heaviest burdens of tax-
ation when times were good.
The farmers in the country sur-
rounding the town are also among the
heaviest sufferers from the ebbing of
the town’s prosperity. A certain
amount of money must be raised by
taxation to provide for the expenses
of the county. Roads must be built
and kept in repair. Bridges must be
built and maintained. Salaries of
county officers must be paid. County
institutions for the care of the sick
ana tue poor must be maintained. In
counties which contain one or more
thriving towns, a large proportion of
the taxes for the county are paid by
the towns. The greater the wealth
of the towns and the higher the prop-
erty valuations, the lower the tax levy
for the entire county. When the tax
levy is low the burden placed upon the
farmer is light.
~ Burden Falls on Farmer.
When the county contains no pros
perous and wealthy towns, the greater
part of the burden of taxation for the
county falls upon the farmer. The
value of the farmer’s property does not
fall in proportion to the value of the
property in the town and the higher
tax levy that results from the lower
property values in the towns makes
his taxes higher.
The farmer forgets at times that he
1s vitally interested in the prosperity
of “his town.” He thinks that it is up
to the town to take care of itself and
that it is up to him to take care of
himself and he overlooks that fact that
the prosperity of the town means as
much to him as it does to those who
live in it. The farmer who is inclined
to overlook this fact has only to think
of the matter of taxes and he is likely
to change his point of view for taxes
are one thing that neither he nor any-
one else can escape, and they are one
thing in which the farmer ordinarily
takes a very lively interest.
How Farmer Can Help.
There is just one way in which the
farmer can best promote prosperity in
the town near which he lives and that
is by spending his money in that town
instead of sending it away to the far-
distant city. Every time the farmer
sends an order to a mail order house
he helps to destroy the prosperity of
his own community and to boost his
own taxes. When he sends a dollar
away from home he gets none of it
back. When he spends a dollar at
home, a part of that dollar comes back
to him in some way. It helps the town
where it is spent to provide a profit-
able market for his products and it
helps the town pay a large part of his
taxes.
The farmer is the one man in the
community, above all others, who
should have no love for the mail order
houses for they are doing more to add
to his troubles than any other oae
agency.
