Monroe, La.--Judge Fred M. Odom The
in a decision handed down in Sixth
District Court at Monroe recently in M,
the case of Guy 1'. Stubbs vs Joe Han- ly h,
na, Oua(hita tax assessor, and the ized
Louisiana Tax Comnmission, sustained viola
the contention of the tax payers of
the parish, for whom the suit was La
brought, that the assessed valuation I in
of agricultural lands, suburban lands weel
and city lots Is too high. annt
Judge Odom also gave a decision in S]
the various suits brought by Munhol Dril
land.Danwitz Company, I. Baer Com- 12 ,,
pany, Ltd., and others that the assess- Salt
or could not tax accounts of 1921, in drill
accordance with a recent decision
of the Louisiana State Supreme Court. Ci
The case of Stubbs against the as- (con(
sessor was one of the most important first
suits in district court in years. It Con
was brought by the Ouachita Tax Pay- boil
ers' League composed of several of
the leading tax payers of Ouachita H
parish, including Monroe and West mer
Monroe. plac
Taxpayers at first petitioned the for
Louisiana Tax Commission for relief pet
from high assessed valuation, claim
Ing that Ouachita parish was being S
discriminated against, that lands in the
Union and other parishes similarly whi
situated were not assessed at so great to
a figure. At the same time the tax wil
payers of Monroe claimed that the as- con
sessments in this city were based on
fictitious valuations that were the re- t
sul of boom times in 1919-1920.
The Ouachita parish police jury We
adopted a resolution on November 10, i
1921, protesting against the valuation sur
of farm, suburban and city property of
and submitted it to the Louisiana I
Tax Commission, but the Commission be4
tuned down the protest on November ino
It on the grounds that there, was not sch
sufficient basis for a reduction in the stu
value of Ouachita lands. This was voc
followed by the organization of the tu
Owaclhita Taxpayers' League and the
fling¢ of the suit by Mr. Stubbs, who
claime that a norma? assessment of N
$125,465 had been increased to $145, he

was represented by Attorney Percy P

Farmers' Bulletin 1186, published by ton,

Young Hogs Yield Best Meat.
A hog of medium condition, gain

quality of meat. A reasonable amount

objectionable. Smooth, even, and
deeply-fleshed hogs yield nicely-mar

Even If the hog has been properly
fed and carries, a prime finish, the

copies of which may be obtained free
of charge upon application to the De
partment of Agriculture at Washing

valuable suggestions to growers as to
methods which are profitably followed
where the crop is most successful.
The story of the tomato is that of a

branded as poisonous and consequent
ly avoided. Later, designated as the
d love apple, it found favor with a few
.e lovers of delicacies and with growers.
By 1887 the total pack of canned to
matoes in the United States was about
3,000,000 cases of 24 one-quart cans
each. Now the commercial pack, ex
clusive of soups, purees, ketchup, and
pulp exceeds 10,000,000 cases oS 24
No. 3 cans. These figures do not in
clude the millions of cans put up by o
housew ives for home consumption or a
the fresh tomatoes which grace Amer-th
ican tables during the growing season.
Chief among the states where to
matoes are raised for canning are, in
order named: Maryland, Indiana, Mis-th
souri, Delaware, New Jersey, New
!York, Utah, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio,
SPennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, andto
,West Virginia. The acreage planted in
tomatoes for canning purposes only
in 1920 was 244,745. The yield from sl
that acreage was 1,003.358 tons.
The bulletin follows the methods
used from the seed to the can,
describes methods of planting, soils
best adapted fbr the vegetable's
Sgrowth, tells how the crop may best a
Sbe harvested, and sums up the chief
requirements for good results as for

"Successful tomato growing depends
IIon good farm practices, good seed,
I!° good plants, proper fertilIzer, careful
planting, clean cultivation, and dis
ld ease control through spraying and
tothrough the use of disease-resistant
sy varieties. Orowers who pay attention
a- to these factors produce crops which
ye give them satisfactory returns."
chSy4TEMATIC CROP ROTATION
*' Sd~e Legume Must Be the Base to Re.
ok d ,store Nitrogen to Soil--Red
ed Clover Favored.
st- Good farming calls for a systematic
it crop rotation just as much as a gaso
$ line engine calls for a balance wheel.
Crop rotation is the balance wheel
(for good farming. Some legume must
he be the base of this rotation. It will
restore nitrogen to the depleted soil
ad nd help furnish a balanced feed for
Slive stock. Red dlover seems well
iadapted to these requirements when
ree we ta'e into consideration the needs
of *~the soil and the needs of the farm*
animals.
