Plan to Enlarge Tax Revenue Considered by Indiana Governor
Governor Marshall backs using reciprocal tax plans for New York and New Jersey fire insurers to raise state revenue by about 12000 yearly, while life insurers may not profit from the same approach. Auditor Billheimer favors three percent gross, less losses, versus the two percent gross in New Jersey, with AG Bingham noting legality of dual plans. Postal promotions in Indianapolis and Evansville announce pay raises for numerous clerks and new rural carriers assigned to Evansville and Shirley routes.

Benefit from spraying fruit trees reduces wormy fruit
The New Hampshire experiment bulletin reports spraying fruit trees lowers wormy losses. Unsprayed orchards show 26 percent wormy windfalls and 15.7 percent wormy when picked. sprayed plots reduce drops to 4.7 percent and wormy picked to 4.1 percent, increasing the share of clean fruit.
Value of Spraying in Apple Orchards and Wormy Fruit Loss
An analysis shows spraying can save about one fourth of total fruit as perfect fruit under average conditions, with higher gains when worminess is severe. Comparing sprayed and unsprayed plots, sprayed trees average 70 percent perfect fruit versus 43 percent on unsprayed, implying a net gain of roughly one fourth of the total crop.
