PAGES WEEKLY LETTER
by John H. Page,

oy JOtib H. L atSS,
 Commissioner of Agriculture.
 It pays to farm good land. Some fields produce a bale of cotton per acre while others pro duce less than bale of cotton per acre. The breaking, plant ing and cultivation on the good soil IS just about the same as on the poor soils. The only added cost in producing the larger yield is in the picking and marketing When cotton is worth S100 % per bale the difference in the earning capacity of the better land as compared with the poor CT land would be $66 66 lest the cost of additional picking. etc.
 In many parts of the state one finds fields with big gullies washed in them. Sometimes a gully is not formed but little soil is removed each year nntil the hard clay shows at the sur face. A good system of terracinR will hold the water so that il will run off around the hill slow. ly instead of flashing directly down the steepest slope. This will prevent washing and at the same time cause more of tho water to soak into the soil wher, 1t will be of use to the futur, crop. The broad or Mangum ter race should be used. The uar row terrace breaks easily ant has the disadvantage of not De ing wide enough so a row O corn or cotton can he put on 1t The cost of terracing a field usu ally does not exceed S200 pel acre.
 Lack of drainage is also ; cause of unproductive lands This winter the surface ditche: should be opened up so the water can get away. Breaking on wet land should be done in beds from 15 to 30 feet wide. If the deao furrow opens in a ditch at the end of the field much of the sur face water will be carried off. Broad beds are always better than a bed for each row. Just 6 little attention to terracing and draining will increase the yield next year great deal.

is r. o1ts. There r. only two inmates at the Poor tarn. at present, and as the people over the county seem to be in prosperous condition, fl is hoped that this number H'lt not be increased for me next tWcNe months. It has h-on our poii ' to keep an efafty jail, as far as possible, ana we have succfcGed to the extent that the cost of keeping prisoners the past year has been only about two. thirds of the cost of the previous year.
 We regret very much to call the attention of this court to the repairs needed on the Court House the magnificent struc- ture which has been the pride of every citizen of our county. At the completion of the structure we thought we had building that would stand for almost all the time to come.
 The cause of the break, We have not yet been able to deter mire, but the most plausible req son, is the seepage into the base. ment, which has existed all along. and I have been reliably informed, even while the build ing was under construction. My predecessor. Judge Thomas, spent considerable money in an effort to correct the trouble. but to no avail.
 The fencing and buildings on the Poor Farm are in good re- pair. and we are of the opinion that no expenses will be incurred on the Farm for the next twelve months, further. than the main tainance of the inmates. which we have under contract for the year 1918. at $500 per month, for each pauper, this to cover all expenses of maintenance. includ. ing medical attention etc.. and burial expenses, should any of the inmates die.
 The County Jail is in reason ably good condition. The Grand Jury has recommended some changes for the accommodation of whites and colored, but addi- tional room would have to be provided in order to make the necessary changes. Therefore. with the financial conditions Of the County before us. we cannot at this time. recommend any ap- propriation for the work. The building is kept sanitary, and the prisoners given the best care pos sible under the conditions.
 We have already called your attention to the repairs so badly needed on the Court House and the work is now under way. Realizing the importance of having the work completed be- fore the Fall rains began, l did not await the action of this Court. feeling sure that 1t would meet your approval.
 The interest of our county has been our uppermost thought, and we have economized lr every way possible, and we hope dur ing the next twelve months we will be able to use greater econ- omy.
 Respectfully submitted,
 J. w. Franks,
 County Judge.

COUNTY JUICES S BE7gRI ID
 QUORUM COURT

To the several Justices of the
 Peace Composing the Quorum
 Court of Nevada County:
 In submitting my report to your Honorable body, realizing the grave responsibilities that rests upon each and every mem Der, and also realizing that the acts of this court, today, will shape the disbursements of our county for the next twelve months, feel 1t my duty, in or der that you may proceed lntel- ligently, to call your attention to the financial condition of our county. as 1t really exists.
 When took the oath of office, December 1. 1916, there was out standing and unredeemed. war rants on the County General fund, approximately $800O. Oo. The expenses of our county are naturally greater than ever be- fore. The people are expecting more, demanding more, from the county than they did few years ago, and in the face of these facts, our General revenue is not increasing commensurate with the expenses. With these facts before us, and the fact that the Circuit Court expenses for this year, will equal if not exceed the General revenue, presents very serious state of affairs.
 Having to set aside $5000. % of our taxes each year to meet our Court House debt. we cannot hope for any material increase in the County General fund for sev- eral years. Therefore, the most rigid economy should be used in the administration of our county affairs, and it is my pleasure to assure you that this has been my policy as your County Judge, and the records will bear out the statement.
 The question of bridge build ing presents a very serious prob lem. To get ready and good ma terial is very difficult. and even then at prices almost beyond our reach. The time will soon come when we will have to resort tC something besides wooden struc lures. We have been expert menting this year with concrete culverts in Missouri township and 1t is proving very satisfac tory, and we hope to see the time in the near future, wher we will be able to replace the wooden bridges with either stee or concrete. The bridges ovel the county are in very good re. pair, with a few exceptions, anc these would have been repaired, but for the want of material.
 The roads are in reasonably good condition, and We are of the opinion that the overseers have done the best they could with the means in hand. Unfor- tunat aly the road fund in most of the road districts is short, which greatly handicaps the overseers, and unless the overseers have the co operation of the people, very little can be accomplished in the way of building perma- nent roads. People are awaken ing to this fact, and in some parts of the county the people are doing their bit. Especially is this true in Union township. They have organized a Road Inn provement Association. and are doing very commendable work in the way of improving their roads. It is to be hoped that all parts of the county will follow the worthy example.
 We have under consideration the building of 62 miles of gravel

INDIANS NOT EXEMPT
FROM THE ROAD TAX
ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDS

Indians are required either to pay
road tax or to work the roads, under
the statutes which apply, in the opini-
on of Harry L. Patton attorney
general His opinion is as follows:
II have your recent letter in which
you inquire whether or not Pueblo
Indians, residents of the pueblo of
Jemez, may be compelled to work
upon the roads or pay road tax under
the provisions of Section 2674, Cod
ification of 1915.
Our supreme court has held num-
ber of times that Pueblo Indians are
citizens. Further than that, the sec
ton of the statute referred to does
not require that persons subject to
pay tax shall be citizens. The re-
quirements extend to Every able
bodied man between the ages of
twenty-one and sixty years." l am
further sustained in this position by
opinions of the attorney general
