Many county boards of supervisors
are buying stone crushers and will be-
gin a systematic plan of macadamiZing
the public highways. These crushers
can be operated by an ordinary thresh-
ing engine and set up at any place
where stone suitable for the purpose
can be ogtained. These machines will
crush hard heads as well as limestone.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1903-04-23

There are two agencies which can be
made to promote the Improvement or
the pubic highways, paupers and pa
triotism. The splendid highways OF
European countries are the outgrowtn
of the pauperism of the common people
of those countries-road work or star
walton. America should substitute pa
triotism, such enthusiasm and COM
munity of interest in the securing OF
good roads as will in very few years
give us the best of highways.

sentation of coffee set to Mrs f. Cold
rem organist at the church. This was
handsome present an showed the appre-

ASSESSMENT ROLLS
WILL OPEN MONDAY
County Auditor Is Proving the Assessment
Rolls as They Came Back from the State
Equalization Board - County Assessor
Clifford Is Prepared for Work.

The assessment roll OF Nezperce county
will be proved this week says Auditor
Lydon and the books will be turned over
to Assessor Clifford who will open them
Monday tor the benefit of those who
wish to pay their taxes to The county
government. The books will then be
open until the 4th day of January, 1904
when the taxes unpaid will become de-
linquent 1t is highly probable that
most of our citizens will wait as usual
until the afternoon of the last day and it
will be the longest day in the year for
the assessor ard his assistants. The
books will be open IS days, Sundays ex-
cepted.
Delinquent means 10 per cent added
to the original road and school tax and
so cents TO the poll tax. In o.her words
if mans taxes are $40 and it includes a
poll his delinquent taxes will not be $II
but $S SO plus f. SO or SLIGO. This
penalty is not generally understood.
Assessor Clifford states that he will
make determined effort 40 collect taxes
on personal property this year. The peo-
pie are prosperous and their taxes should
be paid. Last year about $Soco of taxes
on personal property went delinquent
and has not been collected. In all about
$40 900 worth of such taxes assessed
since 1902 have not been collected. Of
these taxes those delinquent before 1891
are adding IL per cent per annum penalty
to the amount, those delinquent since
1891 are adding IS per cent penalty
This per cent. was added as a penalty
and not as an item of interest TO avoid
the usuary law.

PROFITABLE FARMING
IN GENESEE COUNTRY

The Wheat Yield is Thirty.five Bushels to
the Acre - Corn Crop Feature on sum-
mer FallOw Land - Big Money in Raising
Hay
]. l.. Goodnight, one Of the substantial
farmers of the Genesee country was IN
the city today and in response to an in
quiry about crops in that section gave
the following facts: "The crop has been
better than was anticipated earlier in the
season, the average running from i've to
10 bushels ahead of the estimate. The
average wheat crop for the whole Genesee
country is about IS bushels per acre.
The largest yield / have heard about is
63 bushels to the acre on six acres that
was put in corn last year. The corn crop
on the same land last season yielded IS
bushels to the acre and the land seems to
have been improved for the wheat crop.
"Corn raising in the Genesee country
is getting to be a feature. II was begun
as an experiment as crop for the sum-
ner fallow land This year it was sown
more extensively aud will make good
yield. The variety known as White
Dent corn will pro luce yield of 80
bushels to the acre in some fields near
Genesee this fall. Sanford Evans has
field which, think, will yield more than
80 bushels to the acre. The experiment
shows that corn will yield a profitable
crop itself and as a fallow crop it answers
a double purpose.
Hay has been good crop with us
this season and is paying the farmers
well. Timothy hay cut two tons to the
acre and is selling baled at Genesee
today at $i6.25 per ton. Grain hay is
paying the farmers from $40 to SAT so
per acre for their crop this season. From
field of 40 acres cut and baled Io6
tons not counting the waste and baled
grain hay is selling readily this fall at
$Io per ton. Farming in the Genesee
country has been successful business
during the last four years. As an in
stance of proof to my knowledge an 80
acre tract purchased last season at $275o
produced in hay and grain this year
crop that sold for $3.50"
