Understood Governor Will Em
body Request in First Message.
Levy Has Many Friends.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Now that the income tax amend
ment to the Federal Constitution has
i.een ratified by the necessary num
ber of States to make it effective, and
Georgia, therefore, is estopped from
turning in that direction in future
efforts to increase its income, there
are encouraging signs a-plenty that
,,n inheritance tax may be placed
upon the statute books by the next
i legislature.
Governor Slaton, it is understood,
will advocate such a measure in his
first message to the General Assem
bly, and already there are members-
elect who are outskopenly committed
to the idea.
Advocates of this form of taxation
declare that it is, of all taxes, the
easiest to collect, and that its collec
tion seemingly is attended with a
nitiitfnum of friction and ill-feeling.
The person inheriting, so students
of the inheritance tax theory aver,
rarely objects to the payment of the
duty imposed upon the inheritance,
and many times they freely admit
and acknowledge its justness. Such
a claim can not he made in behalf of
the income tax, of course, for its col
lection frequently is the source of
much vexation and annoyance.
Nearly all European countries have
have an inheritance tax of one sort
«.r another on their statute books, and
wherever such a tax has been inau
gurated it never has been abandoned.
It invariably has proven to be a fine
source of revenue.
It is expected that Mr. Slaton will
deal at length with the inheritance
tax in his forthcoming message, en
tering into more or less elaborate de
tails as to its equitable features and
great possibilities as an income pro
ducer.
The prospective appointment of
Thomas G. Scott, of Monroe County,
to be Federal Statiscian for Geor
gia in succession the late Governor
\V. J. Northen, which has been an
nounced by Secretary of Agriculture
Houston, apparently gives great sat
isfaction throughout the State.
In this position it will be the duty
of Mr. Scott to tabulate and consoli
date the reports received from the
'•nrious correspondents over the State
ami to keep the Government at Wash
ington apprized of the acreage in the
various crops, the weather condi
tions. the crop conditions and the pre
vailing prices; in short, to give the
Government authentic reports of the
condition of the farming interests of
Georgia. .
Mr. Scott was formerly president
of the Sixth District Agricultural Col
lege, stationed at Bartlesville, but sev-
“nl years ago resigned to devote his
time to is farm. On this farm he uses
e latest improved machinery and
He is regarded by agricultural ex-
most scientific methods exclusively,
perts as one of the most successful
exponents of intensive farming in this
section.
The appointment comes to Mr.
Scott largely as a recognition of his
merit, for, although he was high rec
ommended for the place, it is under
stood that he made no efforts to land
Says The Macon News: “Hon. John
T. Allen Representative in the Leg
islature from Baldwin County, and a
candidate for Speaker of the House, j
is in Macon to-day. Mr. Allen is
confident that he will be chosen
Sheaper, although Representative J.
Randolph Anderson, of Chatham
County, has already claimed the of
fice.”
All of which is interesting enough
and very much to the point, except
for the facts that Judge Allen is a
Senator-elect and not a Representa
tive-elect, as is Mr. Anderson, and
• ach is a candidate for the Presidency
of the Senate and not the Speakership
of the House.
The latter job, Mr. Burwell, of Han-
• >ck. appears to have securely nailed
down

« harge of the Confederate frigate
Alabama’* when that celebrated craft
was sunk off the coast of France by
the Kearsarge.”
* Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of Rich
mond County, who Retires from the
management of the State Experiment
Station in Griffin on July 1, has hacf
a long and distinguished career in
the public service of Georgia.
For something like twenty years
represented Richmond in the
H'nise, and enjoyed the distinction
through many session of Vicing the
dean of the General Assembly. For
•session after session, indeed, Mr. Cal
vin was a flowing fountain of infor
mation on precedent and custom in
the Legislature.
During all of his career in the Leg
islature he was know as a man of
conservative trend of thought, and
always was ranked as safe and sane
in his voting.
He expects to return to Richmond
County, there to spend the remainder
"f his life as a private citizen. With
him, undoubtedly, will go the good
wishes and assured appreciation of
very many of his fellow Georgians.
Inquiry has been made of the Swiss
Government, so the story in Wash
ington goes, whether Pleasant A.
Stovall, of Georgia, will be persona
srata in that country as “Uncle
Sam’s” duly accredited MiniSt^r.
So soon as favorable response is re

pated, the President will send the

March and April are

The weather is usually ideal, so that
i the newly hatched chicks start right
o ff in good shape, provided, however,
that they are produced by hens that
are or were in the pink of condition
when the eggs were formed. This is
more essential than is generally con
sidered by the average person who has
not stopped to consider the whys and
wherefores of the matter. We have
weakly chicks and we do not stop *o
consider that it is perhaps due to the
fact that our hens have been forced i »
the limit for the production of eggs ill
through the fall and winter. Not onlv
have they been given all the rich
grain ftiods that we could furnish
them or induce them to take, but they
have been urged on by all kinds of
stimulating egg-producers and health

which were recommended by any of
our friends or neighbors. While these
things tend to brighten up the hen
for the time being, they soon loose
their effect, and then the reaction or a
weakness takes place.
Healthy Chicks.
The eggs laid during the early part
of this laying season would no doubt
give us good, strong, healthy chicks,
but as the vitality of the hen wanes
her progeny suffers accordingly. True,
it looks like the best thing to do to
get all the eggs we can front our hens
when fhe eggs are at their highest
prices, hut we should i}ot expect this
same hen to be the mother of our
flock of chickens at the tail end of the
egg season.
Another source of weak chicks is
the lack of green stuff eaten by the
hens. The egg is such a large per
cent water tihat she needs to eat all
kinds of good greens in order that she
may be prepared to give us t H * * proper
kind of an egg, one that is full of life-
giving properties; then there will be
but little trouble with the chicks.
Many a backyard breeder in his fiist
year will, as a means of economy,
breed brothers and sisters together.
Fur example, he last year purchased a
setting of eggs from a breeder, raised
a few good pullets and some cockerels
and instead of getting rid of the cock
erels and buying something in the way
of a male that -is no relation to his
pullets he uses what he has. whien
is prettv close inbreeding. This is
especially true when so much of th
stock we buy is from fowls that arc
already inbred more or less in order
to secure liner points for the shoa
room. , ..
Crowding the yards and houses and
the mating of too many females with
one male are common causes of weak
ness ’n the voung stock. Let us avoid
and get away from these seepiing
methods of economy.
