About Spring Planting.
Now is the time for the farmers
to prepare for their spring planting
for their crops for 1913. and in
making preparation, special care
should be taken in the preparation
of the seed bed. A well plowed
and pulverized seed bed. plowed
deep enough to retain the moisture,
will go a long ways toward the
m iking of a good crop.
Those who prepared their land
by deep plowing last fal1, or during
the month of January, v^i be amp
ly repaid in the yield of their crops
next fall. It will not pay to plow
too deep with a turning plow, but a
subsoiler may be run in the furrow
behind the turning plow with good
results. If the seed bed is well
made and the soil is well pulverized
before planting, the growing crop
will grow off well at the start and
will be easily kept clean until the
growing plants are well on their
way. and a great deal of labor may
be saved in the cultivation of the
crop, and it will grow to maturity
quicker and without being stunted
In pitching the crop, the farmer
should consider well the amount of
manual and team labor he will
have, and distribute and subdivide
his crops so that he will have am
ple labor at all times to take care
of his crops, and to also be able to
keep his labor and teams employed
steadily. He should have some
hay crops coming in at the proper
time to engage his labor and teams
after the crops are laid by, and so
diversify his crops generally that
there will always be plenty of labor
to take care of things under ad
/erse circumstances. and yet crops
that will consume ail the labor li
ras and keep the farm hands ar.c
teams busy and earning somethirij
| all the time until gathering time.
This method will assure pres
; perity. John H. Page, Com
missioner of Agriculture.

Weevil Mot tradiotrd.
In a talk with Representative j
Ransdell, Bradford Knapp, chief of
the farm demonstration division of
the Department of Agriculture,
sounded a note of warning to the
cotton planters not only of Louisi- |
ana, but of Mississippi and adjoin
Arkansas and Texas.
ing areas in
What he desired the planters in
Louisiana in particular to remem
ber is that the boll weevil has not
been eradicated, even from the
S sections of the cotton belt where
none of the insects was found last
! season.
His injunction to all is to plant
on the assumption that the pest!
will reappear during the coming
I season, because the winter has1
been mild, in a good many spots
in the belt last season, the infesta
tion was groat enough to make it
■ certain that during the rmld winter
the pest has multiplied, so thaj^un
less the planters take' pains with
their crop, conditions will be la
mentable.
In particular he hoDes they will
put in at least half their acreage
with short staple, quick-maturing
seed. He has heard that many of
the planters are contemplating put
ting in only long staple, and that
does not appeal to him. In that
view. Mr. Ransdell agrees with Mr.
Knapp The Senator elect, even
before he had the talk, had come
to the conclusion that it was the
thing to do. Neither Mr. Ransdell
nor Mr. Knapp beiieves that it will
be wise, this yr>ar. to put all the
eggs in one basket.
By taking the precaution sug
gested. Messrs Ransdell and
Knapp believe the evil the mild
winter has done in the way of giv
ing the weevil an extension of ten
ure will be minimized, if not wholly
neutralized. New Orleans Times-|

Tobacco and liquor Consumption large.
It hardly seems consistent that a
civilized government should gloat1
over an increase in the bad habits
of its own people. Yet such is the
case, owing to the rake-off tnat
governments usually enjoy from
the drink and tobacco business.,
etc. The people of ’’his country j
are drinking more and using more'
tobacco than ever before, accord
ing to a statement of the internal |
revenue bureau covering the first1
quarter of the fiscal year,
l Nearly four billion cigarettes or
"coffin-nails" were smoked in this
period, or an increase of 20 per
cent: nearly two billion cigars also
went up in smoke, making a new
record. The nation consumed
over 33.000.000 gallons of whisky
and nearly 20.000.000 barrels of
beer in the three months, both
items showing increases over the
same period for former years.
Uncle Sam is happy at this thriv
ing trade in these things, for it is
bringing his receipts from internal
revenue up higher than they have
ever bean before. T he govern
ment collects upwards of 300 mill
ion dollars a year from internal
revenue and pays more than half
its total expenses from this source.
Thus we see that those who drink.
• smoke and chew are taxed rnurh
more to support the government
than abstainers are.
It is a singular fact that while
the public is perpetually revolting
against the tariff tax. and th11 tariff
is always in politics, the intsra!
revenue tax is paid virtually with
out a murmur, although it is heav
ier and it falls only on certain I
classes and not the .vhole pe' pie
if it were not for this ' i >. raised
from taxing drink ana tor -.Vco
nowever the other taxes on which
the government relies-would have,
to b; more than doubled.
