l8AS - 1913

The change in Detroit
since the establishment
of the present Detroit
Savings Bank is Strik-
ingly illustrated by a
comparison of the land
values in the city of Ca
, years ago with those OF
the present day. In
1850the total valuation
of real and personal pro-
perty in Detroit was less
than two million four
hundred thousand dol
lars. The assessed val
uatiOn for 1928 was,
real and personal estate,
more than four hun
dred and fifty million
dollars, or over two hum
dred times as much.
The total city tax for
1850 was less than
thirty thousand dollars;
that of 1912 was over
nine million dollars.
The property now own
ed by the city is worth
over 5000, 600. This
has been paid for in
most part by taxation.
Were it not for the fool
ish policy Ofgivine away
land in her early days,
Detroit might now be
rich enough to pay all
the expenses of her gov
eminent without asking
a dollar in taxes. To
save is to have, and the
old Detroit Savings
Bank has saved the peO-
pie of this city millions
of dollars.

with the possibilities making Hankin-
son the center of a big trade in the
spuds. He knows the potato business
thoroughly and stated that If farmers
would agree to plant a certain acre
age to potatoes in the territory tribu-
tary to u city, and the local mer-
chants would withdraw from the
potato field, he would erect a ware
house here 40x80 feet in size with the
necessary equipment to sort and pre-
pare same for market, making Hank
inson the center of an industry that
Is now badly neglected according to
his view.
During the last three weeks nineteen
cars of potatoes have been shipped
from Hankinson by local markets. Mr.,
Ryan examined some of the potatoes
marketed while he was here and was
we'll pleased with the size and yield
as reported by the farmers but stated
that they were paying too little at
tention to variety and breeding OF
their seed. He recommends the Early
Ohio n Burbank varieties for this
locality and says farmers would real
lie much better results of they would
plant these varieties and keep their
seed pure.
The soil in this vicinity is just the
kind needed for successful potato
culture n the opportunity to increase
the production of potatoes is in line
with the idea of diversifying.
