required for the successful growth Of
various crops and the periods Of plant
growth at which a sufficient supply is
most critical; the development Of roots
and stems OF various kinds of plants
under limited, sufficient and surplus
supplies OF soil moisture. The amount
of water required under field conditions
to produce pound OF dry matter Of

The actual valuation Of all real and
personal property in the state Of Wash
ington is $2,3o3,359,074 and il the
tax levy for state purposes was based
on the actual valuation OF property in
stead OF the assessed valuation the av-
erage rate Of levy for state purposes,
would be only 2.11 mills instead Of
$50 mills as fixed by the state board
OF equalization, according to figures
compiled by Secretary E. ]. Koors
from records filed in the Office OF the
state tax commission. These figures
show that the rate Of levy on the actual
valuation OF property varies in the differ
ent counties but the highest rate ol
levy in any county would be consider
ably less than one-half of the levy made
by the state board OF equalization fol
state taxes. III HIdukuu COuAtg tAc
levy would be the lowest or 1.8 mills
and in Ferry county it would be the
highest, or 2.2s mills. In Chelan
county the actual valuation OF all real

lines is SIS. .oS3.970 and this added tc
the actual value OF the steam roads,
which is 81, 400. PTS, and the actua
value of the telegraph lines amounting
to $21, ,s9l, makes totol Of $32, 415,'
$50 as the actual value Of all real and
