McWhorter’s Review Found Interesting Through a typographic! error the name of O. T. McWhorter, county agricultural agent, was not carried over the very comprehensive review of agricultural conditions in the county for 1928 until nearly all of the papers were off. When the error was noticed the editor had the change made for the last 650 papers. The article by Mr. McWhorter was well worth the reading of any person that is interested in Washington county and the editor would sin cerely recommend that anyone, who has not read the review, would look up last week’s Argus and do so. The reader of the article will be come more thoroughly convinced that Washington county is fortunate in having a man of Mr. McWhorter’s ability in the position here.

In spite of this, people on the farm are crying for tax relief and the thought has become fairly implanted that there must be an adjustment of the tax burden. It is argued that business is kept in a flurry because of the activity for an income tax and that it has the tendency to build up a wall against wealth coming into the state. On the other hand business is in a fairly good condition and the tnan who makes a living off the land is admitted to be in not so good a t^x.
