TAX ExPERTsWTERWEWED
Commissioner : Secretary Adam
son Says Eureka County Makes
Fine Financial Showing

Commissioner-Secretar Adamson
of the Nevada Tax Commission, who
spent last Saturday, Sunday and
Monday in Eureka, going into the
matter of the estimated amount of
money required for the operation of
the different units of county govern
ment for the year 1916. when inter-
viewed by a SENTINEL reporter. stat
ed that Eureka County, so far al the
actual amount of cash on hand was
concerned, was in a better condition
than any of the ten counties he had
thus far visited. In fact, he found
an excess surplus on hand in the vari-
Gus funds as of January LIST sufficient
to enable the Board Of County Com
missioners to apply $4,000 thereof
to the meeting of the current years
expenses.
This means, as will be seen by the
official budget published elsewhere
in this issue, only $44, 225 will have
to be raised for county general and
school purposes by mean of direct
taxation, whereas without the appli-
cation of this excess surplus it would
be necessary to raise $59.225. Were
it necessary to raise this normal
amount the county general rate for
the current year would be $1.05 in
| stead of IS cents. This same condi-
ton obtained in 1915, at which time
there was also a very considerable
excess surplus of cash on hand which
was applied to the operation of the
expenses of the county government
for that year. AS a consequence the
years 1915 and 1916 both show an
abnormally low tax rate.
Mr.. Adamson called attention to
the fact that the taxpayers of Eu-
reka County should understand that
this exceptionally low tax rate could
not be maintained, as the expenses
of the county government are about
the same each year, and when the
excess cash on hand is exhausted, as
it will be this year, it will be neces
sary thereafter to produce the nor
NAL governmental requirements from
taxation which will require approx
mately a Soc higher county general
levy than is at present in force.
In addition to budget matters Mr..
Adamson is gathering extensive edu-
cational financial data which will be
used as the basis of legislative rec
concentrations by the State Educa-
tional Survey, of which Governor
Boyle is the Chairman.
Mr.. Adamson was high in his
praise of the conduct of the county
Offices. and was particularly enthusi-
astic over the businesslike manner
in which the Board of County Com
m~issioners conducted the general af-
fairs of the county.
Mr.. Adamson stated that the valua-
ton Of the entire State this year
will be increased from one hundred
and ifty-two million to n hundred
and seventy-three million dollars. or.
an increase of 14.3 per cent. The
State tax rate has been reduced from
Sc to 46 cents, or a reduction of 17.9
per cent, which means that the tax
payers will pay, in actual money for
1916 taxes. just 3.6 per cent less
than he paid in 1915 for State pur-
poses.

College.

Manhattan, Kan, Aug
Sudan grass is we'll adapted to
withstand drought and Is fast
becoming recognized as a staple
and dependable crop for Kansas,
asserts G. E. Thompson, crop
specialist, division of extension,
Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege, and formerly superintendent
of substations, in a bulletin,
Sudan Grass in Kansas.
In so far as Kansas 10 concern
ed, points out Mr.. Thompson,
Sudan grass is adapted to practi-
cally all soils except those which
are very wet and poorly drained
or those which are extremely
alkaline or sandy. Soil condi-
tions generally favorable to
Sudan grass are similar to those
favorable to the other sorghums.
1t yields best in rich loam, to
sandy loam soil that is well
drained. Thinner and poorer
soils necessarily produce lighter
yields, although Sudan grass,
like the other sorghums, is an
extensive feeder, and is one of the
profitable crops on thin, poor
upland soils. Being a native of
a hot, dry climate, it is naturally
adapted to the relatively dry
conditions of Western Kansas,
and it is in this part of the state
that it will prove of most value.
Sudan grass can be used read
lily in any ordinary farm rotation.
1t is an annual, and can be sub
stituted in the average rotation
for corn or any other sorghum
crop, or it can be grown in the
longer rotations instead of the
perennial hay or pasture grasses.
1t is not a legume, and will there
fore not add nitrogen to the soil,
although its extensive ibrous
root system contributes to the
supply of organic matter. Care.
full study of its moisture require
ments under field conditions and
examinations of the root system
at all stages of growth show
that Sudan grass can draw
moisture from greater depths of
soil than millet, but II does not
draw Its moisture supply from as
great a depth as do the ordinary
sorghums.
Sudan grass is a crop that
natures quickly and can sften be
used as a catch crop. Because it
