Atlanta, Ga.—That the payment of
commission of 10 per cent to attar-
neya for enforcing the payment of in
heritance taxes due^e state is noth-
busmcss-likc arrange-
as any private con
cern would make with al awyer to
collect money due apd unpaid, seems
to be the prevailing sentiment among
members of the legislature concern
ing the arrangement of the attorney
general, Clifford Walker, which at
first aroused some criticism because
it was not clesrly understood.
The situation is Just this, as mem
bers of the legislature see it: An es
tate is left at the death of the own-

The tax is

prived of its
i after anoth-
scattcred over the state, rocks
along without the payment by its
heirs of the tax they are due the
state. At this point the attorney gen
eral, acting under the authority of
the act which makes it his duty to en
force the payment of inheritance
taxes due the state, steps in and
makes an arrangement with attorneys
in various counties, where a large
amount of delinquent inheritance
taxes have piled up, to enforce the
payment of same on a commission
basis. The state gets its money, the
lawyer gets the usual fee for collec
tion, and nobody is hurt
Some legislators express the opin
ion that the commission paid attor
neys should not be as high'as 10 per
'cent in very large estates,-and a grad
uated scale will probably be fixed.

The first thing and biggest thing
we are going to say in this issue of
The Progressive Farmer is this—that
our"7oTks in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia ought
to absolutely double their school tax
es during the coming year.
H may be popular to s-*y this, or
it may be unpopular. Al'« we know

district—and one In'Which thfe tax is'
adequate. Too many districts are
levying three mills when they ought
to levy nine.
To pay a school tax is to swap dol
lars for life, and God shrivels the
soul and blights the future of any
community where the people think
more of saving a little money than
they do of providing “life and life
more abundantly” for the men and
women of tomorrow. We of the
South have always accused our North
ern friends of loving money, but we
have got to face the fact that when
it comes to choosing between saving
money and buying knowledge for his
children the Yankee everlastingly
puts us to shame.
Look at. the facts. The North At
lantic states spend $50.55 per year
on schools per child; the South At
lantic States $18.91—not 40. per
cent as much. . The north central
States spend $44.15 per child; the
South Central States $19.01—not
half as much. North Dakota, a ru
ral state, is spending $54 & year per
child; wild Idaho $55, and even Mor-
taon Utah $52, while Virginia spends
$19, North Carolina only $12, South
Carolina only $11, and Georgia $13.
Nor can we say we are doing as well
in proportion to wealth, for while
North Dakota spends on schools 44
cents a year for each $100 of her
wealth, Idaho 49, and Utal 51, Virgin
ia and North Carolina spend only.28
cents a year per $100 of wealth.
South Carolina 27 cents and Georgia
29.
The Carolinas, Virginia and Geor
gia therefore might double the
amount they are spending for schools
and even then not spend as much ns
some other states arc spending. Let
us now highly resolve that we will
sanctify the greater prosperity God
has given us by giving twice as much
from it for unfolding the powers of
the children He has given us and for
furthering the eternal purpose of
Him who said: “1 have come that ye
might have life and life more abund

ATLANTA MAN SETS TABLE
WITH ALL HOME GROWN-FOOD
Atlanta, Ga.-—How many different
food products grown at home have
you placed on your table in these
parlous times.of war? -Can yon
equal the record of the Atlanta city
gardener who claims to have set
table with no less than 24 varieties
of home grown food, and who exhib
its the list to prove his assertion?
Here it is:
English peas, snap beans, pork
sausage, lettuce, cucumbers,, fried
chicken, butter, eggs, cream, Irish
potatoes, corn bread, syrup, straw
berries, spring onions, squash, mixed
pickles, beets, two kinds of sweet po
tatoes, parsley, bacon, and the vine
gar used on the beets.
It is but fair to state that the At-,
lantian who raised these products is
not a dweller on a small city lot, but
a well-to-do citizen who can afford to
live on the outskirts and have a farm.
But everyone will agree that he de
serves credit just the same, even if
he is a city man and well-to-do, and
thnt his example is one .which all
would do well to follow.
FORT VALLEY MAN HAS ODD
QUILT
Atlanta, Ga.—Emmett Houser, the
well-known Peach .-unty booster
from Fort Valley, Ga., who comes to
the lei-^laturc every year and distrib
utes crates of peaches among his
friends, brings to the capital a
markable story of r. quilt owned by
W. P. Harwell, a wrlj-known Fort
Valley citizen.
It is a home-made quilt, one of the
old-fashioned kind, and in it arc 3,500
different pieces of cloth. It weighs
about sixteen pounds and wns made
by an nunt of Mr. Harwell, who
spent two yenrs on it off and on.
Mr. Harwell values the quilt at
$.1,000.

parched by the sun. Such watering
tends also to form a hard crust over
the surface. In general, there should
be less watering and more hoeing.
Keep a loose layer of soil on top to

If there were a concentrated action

weevil would be a simple matter.
