AUTOMOBILE TAXES
PAY FEDERAL AID
Accordng to statistics compiled and
sent out by the state road commission
of West Virginia, the total federal
aid bill of the United States is paid
by automobile taxes, with a comfort
able balance left over.
Since 1917,.the federal government
has collected from the automobile in
dustry, in taxes, the sum of $589,-
012,021. In the same period the to
tal of federal aid for road building
has been $264,782,216, or only 45
per cent of the special motor vehicle
and accessory taxes. For the last
fiscal year the government collected
$146,000,000 in these special taxes,
and paid out for federal aid to the
stales only $72,000,000.
Thus, the special motor vehicle and
accessory tax has only paid all
of the federal aid on road building,
but has left a balance in the treasury
of more than the amount paid out.

IMPROVE THE GROUNDS
WITH CANNAS
The appearance of the home
grounds may be very greatly im
proved by plar'tin ; beds of cannas
to the side or rear of the house and
rows cf them ne: t to the foundation
on the sides or in front where no
1 rubbery is growing. These cannot
entirely take the place r.f shrubbery.
Those who are so unfortunate as
not to have shrubbery growing next
tot the foundation, can very greatly
profit by the planting of cannas.
A row planted next to the found
ation, putting them 18 to 24 inches
away from the wall and the same
distance apart in the rows with
another row of coleus about 18 to
24 inches in front of the cannas,
and then a row of salvia 12 to 18
inches in front of the coleus pro
duces oa very beautiful effect. It
is true that this v, ill last only for
the summer, but it is far better than
to leave the space hart'.
• Set the coleus plants. 18 to 24
inches apart, planting them directly
in fron of the cannas, and alternat
ing so as to come in between the
canna plants. Then set the salvia
plants in front of the coleus, letting
them alternate with the coleus,
which will throw them directly opr
posite the canna plants. t
Car.nas grow a little taller than
coleus and coleus some taller than
salvia, thus giving that gradual slop
ing eyyect, which is desirable in
plantings of this kind. Such . a
planting will, add to the beauty of
the home grounds.
A bed in shape of a circle, with
the cannas planted in rows around
the inside of the circle make a most
beautiful appearance. Pick out a
place at the side or to the rear of
the house where a few of these beds
will fit in and throughly prepare the
ground for setting the plants early
in the spring. Usually, a good place
to locate them is to one side of the
house are to the rear, immediately
in front of a clump of shrubbery or
some trees. If the garden is fenced
in close to the house, then a row of
cannas along with the coleus and sal
via right up against the garden, and
at the same time greatly improved
the appearance of the place. Bu
putting the rows back next tb the
garden fence and beds in each cor
ner just in front of the rows and
possibly one in the center, a ve*-y de
sirable effect may be obtained.
The canna is a gross feeder and
to succeed best, must be highly
fertilized. Therefore, in preparing
forthem, spade up the soil 12 to 18
inches deep with a spading fork.
Work it over and over until all rocks

Preparing and Planting the Beds
When planting in a circular bed,
drive a stake in the exact center of
the bed aftdr the soil has been pre
pared and fertilized and tie a string
to this stake. Tie the other end of
to a small stick and out
line the outside row by putting the
end of the stick on the ground and
going around the bed, marking out
the row. Then wrap the string
around the stick until the desired
distance of a‘foot and a half to two
feet between the rows is obtained
and mark out the second*row. Con
tinue in this way until the center is
reached and all of the rows are laid
out. In making the bed, throw the
soil to the center, so as to muke it

the sides. This is desirable in or

For Heavy Production and Early Maturity
A NEW VARIETY
SALSBURY IS DISTINCT
SALSBURY is a distinct variety—the result of eight year’s plant breeding
by Professor J, W. Fox and Mr. E. C. Ewing, the experts of the Delta and Pine
Land Co. at Scott Miss. Commencing with an extra-early heavy-fruiting
strain of Wannamaker-Cleveland, tljese men have worked untiringly year
after year selecting and cross-breading, keeping the best and eliminating the
underesirable, until they produced SALSBURY, which we believe to be a per
feet cotton. It has all the disirable qualities of an early big-boll short cotton:
still, is worth a good premium in any market.
