TlLLAGE is OF IMPORTANCE
Brings Soil Into Suitable Ccndit'on
and Capable Of Retaining Large
Amount OF Water.

CPy JAMES D MARSHALL, Colorado
Agricultural Colfege,)
The work Of tillaSe or cultivation
as II is most commonly called is one
of the most important operations on
the farm as practically all crops are
dependent upon II. To obtain the
best results the subject of tillage
should be clearly and thoroughly un-
derstocd as well as the best methocs
OF attaining them.
Coed tillage has two Important
functions. The first Is to bring the
soil into a suitable condition SO as
to obtain a deep, friable and compact
seed-bed, ore capable OF absorbing
and retaining large amounts OK water
and also to make plant food more
available. The second function is 70
establish mulch which will decrease
TO a minimum the loss OF water o.
evaporation.
Tiilage operations are divided intS
two main divisions, the preparation
| Of the seed bed and the subsequen
! treatment of the growing crop. In tn
4 nreparatlon Of the seed bed. plowlns
disldng and narrowing are the mos
4 important operations while in the sui
sequent operations narrowing or cul
waiting are the functions receiving tn
most attention, as they not only col
serve moisture, but they keep tn
weeds down. In many instances the
cover them UP and add humus to IN
soil. They, also, by stirring the SO
around, admit air which Is very
| sential to bacterial activity.

Over Three Millions
Assessed Valuation

The county tax list for the year !
1913, which was printed by the job
denartment of the Record, was de-
lIyered to County Assessor Ronnow
Yesterday and the booklets will be
mailed to taxpayers today.
The list shows the total assessed
valuation Of real estate in the county
te be S2,OO5. .74l.20, as against $2.14s.-
1900, In 1912 The ass ssed valua-
tion OF PERSONAL property for 1913, is
Sll3, ,645.50. as against $76,6765O in
1912. The total assessed valuation OF
both reall and personal property in
the county this year. therefore, is
$3.1l9,3SG7O, as against $2,225,6l7.50I
in 1912; or an increasa of $500, ,7f9. 90
An examination of the list will
show tnat Asses sor Ronnow has ex
ttclsed great care in an effort TO
make fair and equitable assessment
OF property in the county and he
certainly deserves the hearty COM
mendation of the taxpayers Of the
county for the good and effective
work that has been accomplished.
While there has been general
raise in the valuation of property
l it wil be felt only by those who
in the past have not borne theil
just proportion of the taxes; while
the budren will pay on more equit
able basis.
