to the payment Of licenses by
threShermen and Seed-hullerS, is
called by Harvey Alfred, state
director of farm markets, in a
statement issued for publication
and general information of those
concerned. II is as follows:
To the people of IdahO-Cer-
tain laws governing the activities
of the state farplmarkets depart
ment, and of vital interest to the
producers of this state, enacted
BY the fourteenth session of Ida
hos legislature, demand early at
tention. The most important, per-
hapS, is that requiring the asses
SorS of each county to obtain eer-
tain agricultural data, and mas
much as this demand was made af-
ter the assessors had, generally
speaking, covered the greater part
of their territory, the assessors
viii mail to all producers in their
respective counties, a blank, the
answer to which viii meet the re-
quirements Of our state law, and
the inquiry of the federal govern
ment. Each tiller of the soil re-
ceiving these blanks from the as
SCISSOR is required to fill them out
as fully and carefully as possible,
and return them at once to that
officer. This information VIII
have no bearing whatever on the
assessment or taxes of the party,
but is required by law, and If ev-
cry person viii be careful and
prompt in making return, it viii
be a great saving of time and ex-
pense in each county, as it viii for
this year dispense with the ne
eessity Of a personal visit by their
assessor.
1t is hoped that every producer
IN our state VIII show patriotism
and a desire to aid by giving the
information and making this saw
ing possible.
Another law, known as house
bill No. 81 was enacted to aid in
obtaining of this agricultural
data, and more particularly con-
Germs the threshermen and seed
hullers. 1t reads as follows:

each year, procure from the di-
rector of farm markets a license
to engage in said business, and
said director shall issue the same
upon payment to him by the APP
pleant of a license fee of one dol
lar ($100). All license fees so
collected shall be accounted for by
the director Of farm markets and
turned into the state treasury, as

credit all funds so received to the

kets and the moneys accumulating
