The average percentages from these

will be noticed, however, that in any one
variety some samples were frequently

gluten than the average for red Russian
and one sample of red Russian gave
more gluten than the average of Fife,

variations in the quality of the samples

In 1905 the levies were 212 mills for the

5 mills for the school fund, which pro-
duced 81 $40, ,712, and 1-1O mill for the
military fund which produced $32. 1854
or a total in the three funds of s., 1896
922. The highway levy was provided
for by the last legislature
" hile the levies are reduced, the total
of taxes to be paid is somewhat more
than this year. Increase in valuations,
due partly to the natural increase of the
wealth Cf the state and partly to the
plan Of assessing property at more
nearly its cash value, made the lower
levies possible. The railroad valuations
are not finally equalized, but the total
equalized value of all property in the
state this year will be about $780,
900, 900.
The greatest change made by the
board was in King county, which was
