THE SUNDAY OREGOXTAN, PORTLAND. OCTOBER 17, 1915. FARMERS URGED TO PLANT WHEAT LATE Government Points Out Way to Avoid Future Damage by Hessian Flys. LARGE AREA EXPECTED European Countries Because of War, It Is Believed, Will Show Much Decreased Production in - Harvest of 1916. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. (Special.) Vith a good season for growth and harvesting this country is expected to produce next year ;ta greatest crop of wheat. Reports now coming: to the Depart ment of Agriculture indicate the plant ing of a greater acreage in wheat than in any preceding year. It is believed that the continued war in Europe will Interfere there with seeding in the wheat-growing sections and the de mand on this country will be heavier and prices better than during the pres ent year. Experts of the Department of Agri culture are co-operating with the farm ers that they may get the best yield from their acreatce. To this end they have sounded a warning to the wheat growers in the Western wheat belt to sow their wheat late in October, after the hessian fly has disappeared, there by getting rir. of this destructive pest. Advice May Still Be Followed. The advice may still be applied dur ing the present month in the great belt lying between the 35th and 41st parallels of latitude. If the fly has been starved out by burning or disking all stubble and ruined wheat fields and all volunteer wheat has been plowed under or otherwise destroyed, an in festation the following year may be prevented by sowing after the approxi mate fly free date. "Flaxseeds" of the second generation remain on the Pall-sown wheat plants until the following April when adults issue and produce young which begin another season of Infestation. The adult flies of the second generation emerge from the "flaxseed" stage from the middle of August to late October, according to the latitude. The female fly does not iivo beyond five or six days and thus it is that late sowing, after the flies have largely disappeared. Is the most practical and effective method employed to control this pest. Thorough Preparation Knnentlnl. There is. of course, a serious objec tion to the late sowing method to control the Hessian fly, and that is the danger that the plants will not make sufficient growth to withstand the Winter. This objection, however, may be largly overcor-.o by proper cul tural methods. Much of the delay in the growth of late-sown plants in the Kail can be eliminated by paying close attention to the preparation of the soil and to the quality of the seed. The best advice that can be given is to begin the preparation of the field in the -Fall, -precisely aa thougli i was j expected to bow at an early date, but instead of sowing, use the disk harrow and the roller even after It appears to he a waste of labor to till the field further. When a finely pulverized, compact needbed has been, secured, the seed should be selected with the point in view that unnaturally shriveled or oth erwise imperfect kernels cannot pro duce healthy wheat plants. When the kernel sprouts it at once sends fibrous roots down into the soil, from which to draw nourishment for the young plant, and if little or no nourishment is secured, the wheat plants are put Into somewhat the condition of stunted animals which are underfed. Wheat plants cannot secure prompt and ample nourishment if the roots must make their way about among clods, due to poor preparation of the soil, or in soil that lacks in fertility. The farmer should begin the prepara tion of his soil with the object of de laying the sowing of wheat and after ward of pushing the growth of the plant to the utmost until the beginning of the cold weather. GRAYS HARBOR TAXES JUMP JLoms oT Saloon Incenses Big Factor lut People Xot Lamenting. ABERDEEN'. Wash., Oct. 16. (Spe cial.) Taxes in the principal towns on Grays Harbor will be from 20 to 30 per cent higrher in 1016 than they were this year, due largely to the loss of saloon licenses. Aberdeen, which has the liKhtest levy of any town in the county, will pay at the rate of 43.33 mills. A part of the increased levy Is due to a small increase in the As sessor's valuations. The loss of saloon licenses, however, has cut a deep hole In all city budgets. Aberdeen alone losing 536,000 from this source. Gen Teally people are not lamenting the fact, however, that the state has gone dry. The assessments in the various towns are as follows: lloquiam will pay a levy of 45.43 mills in 1916, as against a 39.4 8-mill levy this year. Elma will pay a levy of 47.95 mills, as against a levy of SS.5S mills in 1915. Montesano will pay a levy of 55.05 mills in 1916, as aerainst a 45.S-mIll levy this year, 2S mills of this being for city purposes.

There is some dis satisfaction expressed anion? those NATIONAL REVENU E IS VITAL PROBLEM How to Wipe Out Deficit and Provide for Defense Not De cided at Washington. DIRECT TAX CONSIDERED Revision of Income Schedules Fou Iur With Those Who Are Xot Candidates Inheritances May Also Be Assessed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 16. By repealing the free sugar clause of the Underwood tariff law and re-enacting the war revenue act, the Administration proposes to guard against any diminution of Gov ernment revenue for the year to come, but how the Administration will raise additional revenue to wipe out the deficit and finance the National de fense programme has not been decided. There is considerable demand, judg ing from the White House correspond ence and the correspondence of Secre tary McAdoo, for a modification of the income tax, and in that connection it is proposed to ' tax incomes as small as $2000, or possibly $1000. and to increase the rate of tax on larger incomes. This seems to be popular with those who do not expect to be candidates for election in 1916, and some who contemplate running hope to see the income tax amended in such way that the respon sibility can be shouldered by the Pres ident. Inheritance Tax Suggested. Another proposed plan of raising rev enue is by the imposition of an inher itance tax, and this proposal was put formally before the Administration by Frederick C. Howe, Commissioner of Immigration at New York. Mr. Howe believes that from 1100,000,000 to $200, 000.000 can be raised annually by a Federal Inheritance tax. Mr. Howe es timates that $3,000,000,000 changes hands in this country every year through death. If onl: half of this is taxed at a progressive rate, from 1 to 5 per cent, according to the size of in heritances, the Government could col lect between $50,000,000 and $100,000, 000, and he points out that even a higher tax might be placed on inheri tances exceeding $1,000,000. Great Britain, according to Mr. Howe, has of recent years imposed a tax of 33 per cent on exceedingly large in comes. The United States derives only 9 per cent of its revenues from direct taxation, whereas Great Britain in 1914 collected $5.40 per capita from income tax and $3.10 from death duties, the two combined comprising 45 per cent of her total revenues. In Germany the income tax is the chief source of rev enue, and ranges from 4 to 15 per cent. Tariff Cbangea Considered. That the Administration will favor extensive alterations in the tariff is not deemed probable, although, the de cision to repeal the free auar clause makes such a move more probable than before. The duty is to ..be retained on sugar purely for revenue purposes, and there is fine sentiment, even among Democratic members, in favor of cer tain other tariff changes for revenue purposes. Whatever programme is' put up to Congress this Winter for the raising of revenue will be largely the pro gramme of the President. Secretary McAdoo left Washington about tne time the various Cabinet officers were com pleting and submitting their annual estimates, and he will be away until the middle of November. The fiscal programme cannot well be left until that time. Also, before Secretary McAdoo's re turn to Washington, someone must go over the official estimates and, in the absence of the Secretary of the Treas ury, the President appears to be the only official to take over that task.
