ELKO COUNTY TO BE RAISED
To THIRTY-FTyE MILLIONS

County Recorder Greathouse has
received the formal notice from the
Tax Commission of the rs per cent
raise on the real property and the
improvements thereon in the town of
Elko, Wells. and Deeth, the notice
stating that the amount of the raise
would approximate $750.000, says
the Elko Free Press. Deputy Asses
sor Willis was seen by the reporter
who went over the tax roll with him
and who finds that the property In
the three towns mentioned affected
by the raise will amount to $4,000,
the blanket increase of rs per cent
Of this amount will bring the value
up to s1.60S.2 go. which. added to
the valuation of the banks railroads
and public utilities brings the grand
total in the three towns to $1,000
$50.
The amount Of the raise in the diff
ferent towns is as follows: In Elko.
s6O6. 900; Wells. S57.064; Deeth.
$500. This is on real property and
the improvements thereon and does
moi include personal. banks, railroads
or any public utilities.
There is a report about town that
the commissioners are going to let
the present town rate stay in effect
and use the extra amount of money
that will be brought in to build and
repair the sewer. since the two efforts
t. sell the sewer bonds have failed
owing to errors on the part of some
of the officials. The increased yalu-
alton of the town property at the old
rate would bring approximately the
sum of S16,665. But IL is doubtful
If the commissioners will be allowed
to go ahead with their plans, as the
tax commission is on record that
they will allow each county to col
lect only the amount of the budget
that was certified up to them last
March. At that time the commits
sioners estimated that they would
need ~S200.500. The tax roll was es-
timated at $25. 900. 600. and the
county tax rate was placed at soc.
and the town rate. including the
state rate. s4,113.
In July of this year, a member of
the tax commission came TO Elko and
together with the commissioners.

found that the county a could be

rate was reduced accordingly. This
reduced rate was based on the yalua-
ton of the tax roll of S25, 90, 900.
Now that the tax roll has been found
to be about thirty millions. the rate
will be still further reduced. Wheth-
er the commissioners will be allowed
to impose enough tax on the realizes
tate owners alone this year to build
and repair the sewer Is doubted by
many. as it seems to be the popular
wish OF the people to issue bonds for
this improvement and to have the
payments extend oyer a long period
of time. 1t would be a burden to
the taxpayers to be compelled to pay
for this improvement in year and
the tax should be more evenly dis
tributed.
There is also considerable comment
on the part of the people vino are
Watching the actions of the tax COM
mission, and they are wondering why
the tax commission left out the town
of Carlin. while the towns of Deeth
and Wells are included, both being
no larger than Carlin. They are also
saying that the hand of the Southern
Pacific can be e in the actions or
the tax commission. Practically none
of the residents of the three towns
that have been effected by the raise
are employees of the Southern Pacific,
while almost every person living in
the town of Carlin is connected in
some way with the railroad. Then
If the tax commission succeeded In
having the valuations throughout the
county raised so that the tax rate will
be lowered. say 90 cents on the hun
dred dollars, and the railroads left
as they are, il will mean many thou
sands of dollars saved to the South
ern Pacific. This is what a person
hears on the streets, but there Is
meat in the argument.
We are told that the tax commits
sion is not yet through with Elko
county and that they are now eonsid-
ering a raise on the land throughout
the entire county. enough so that the
total valuation in Elko county will
more than reach the thirty-fiye mill
lion mark. This would mean that
EIko county would pay into the state
treasury the additional sum of $2s.-
200 over and above what the present
tax roll shows.

4 Practice Which Endansers the
Health and Growth Of the Birds.

/ Poultpymen should not allow the
rapidly increasing prices Of eggs and
the decreased production OF old fowls
to overcome thoir better judgement in
the matter OF forcing pullets to lay
before they reach maturity. Leghorns
should have I'VE full months OF growth
before they start laying and Rhode
Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks and
Orpingtdns require to 8 Ia months
All of these breeds can be forced to
lay month earlier than this by close
confinement and the FEEDING OF large
quantities OF highly concentrated
mashes.
This results in stunting the pullets
permanently and causes them to lay
small eggs as long as they live. II
also has a tendency to force the birds
into a long winter mott which checks
their egg production for many weeks
during the season of high prices
There is also a greater danger 10 the
health of the fowls when they mott
during the winter because It reduces
their vitality, exposes their bodies 70
the cold. and results in serious colds
and sometimes roup. AS long as the
pullets are kept on free range and
forced to forage for large part OF
their food and are allowed very limited
amounts of ground grains and meat
foods they will not lay very much
The fact that few precoctous in
divdduals have started to lay does
not indicate the average condition OF
| the flock which on most farms should
| be maintaining a rapid. healthy growth
| for the next three weeks, instead OF
developing combs and storing UP food
for extra early egg production. This
does not apply to pullets which are

as those pullets which were matched

@NyW CORN.
Record Kept Of Yield from Bare and
Full-Tipped Ears.

In 1907 a test was started at the
Ohio Station to determine the effect
of the continued use Of ears of corn
having more or less bare cob at the
tip end. The variety of corn used is
the Garage. Ears having IA to L.
inch of bare cob have been compared
with ears completely filled out at the
tip. Throughout the test the selec-
ton OF seed has been continuous. that
is, ,bare-tipped from bare tipped and
filled-tipped from filled-tipped.
The eight years results show. in so
far as yield Of shelled corn Is con-
cerned. as close agreement as one could
expect from duplicate plots. The yield
from bare-tipped ears averages 62.42
bushels per acre and from filled-tipped
ears 62.76 bushels, difference of 0.34
bushel. The yields OF stover have been
equally close.
For Ave of the eight years the total
length OF bare cob at the tip of each
ear in the crop grown from the two
strains has been determined. These
measurements have been taken in the
| spring after the ears were well dried
| out The average length of bare cob
| is recorded for each year and for the
| FIVE years. There has been no marke
| tendency for the amount of bare cob
| to increase. AS matter Of fact, this
sort of selection, though continuous
has been barren Of any important re-
/ suits.
