HOMESTEAD PROPERTY EX-
EMPTED FROM TAXATION
BY DECISION
AFFECTS MUCH LAND
Some Counties Have Already
Made Refund; VIII Have
TO Vote Money Here

AS a result of a recent decision by
the supreme court, which held that all
homestead lands in the state had been
taxable since statehood, would not in
the future be taxable, hundreds of
citizens of Tulsa and Tulsa county will
be refunded their back taxes for that
period.
In just what manner this will be
done has not yet been decided upon,
but 1t is likely that a bond will be
voted TO pay them off, the same as is
reported to have been done in Rogers
county
Several Of the other counties in the
state have already paid them off vol
UNFAIRLY. 1t is not thought that this
can be done in Tulsa equity, due TO
the lack Of money in the treasury
that would be available at this time.
1t Is said that several prominent
Tulsans, knowing the particulars OF
the decision, have gathered up all
their receipts for their back taxes and
plan to bring suit against the county.
Three Quarter blood Indian lands,
that were nontaXable under the old
decision, are now taxable, according
TO the recent decision. This will ef-
feet a large number of holdings in

Farmers URGED TO DO
THEIR FLOWING EARLY
FRISCO AGRICULTURAL EXPERT
SENDS OUT INSTRUCTIONS
TO AGENTS.

Farm Demonstrator r. p. Elrod Of
the Frisco lines is sending out in
structions to the station agents along
the road to be dispensed among the
farmers OF the country. advising them
to do early plowing. He enumerates,
in brief, several reasons why all land
should be turned in the fall Of the
year in preparation for a spring plant
ing, citing statistics derived from eS-
periments made at various experiment
stations and on farms, where crops
have been proven TO increase from 20
to 100 per cent as a result Of fall cul-
tivation.
bacterial life is not active In soil
that is packed. II must be plowed up
and pulverized, giving the air, sun
shine and rain a chance>to penetrate
and liven up the bacteria SO 1t will
multiply. getting the plant food in
shape to be released readily when the
crop is planted In the spring. Rain
having penetrated the soil during the
winter will leave more water stored
for use later on, while the surface will
be In better condition for working
early In the spring" writes Mr.. FL
rod.
He also assures the farmers that
they can count on a more perfect
stand from the planting and less dam
age done by insects, not TO mention
the additional valuable humus made
by burying the dead grass and weeds.
Two or three inches deeper than
ever before" Is the final sdmonition Of
his communication.
