LEVY WILL Be
MADE FOR YEAR
ON s83,0O0,000
Valuation by Far the Largest
Ever Returned in Silver
Bow County.

The assessed valuation of Silver
Bow county will be nearly $50, ,0o0, 900,
according to tho figures just now
available. County Assessor Pete kel-
ly completed tho figuring of the as
sessed valuation this afternoon and
the result shows that the figures on
which the assessment will be levied
this year will total $79,942, 1870, ex-
elusive of the railroad valuation, which
last year was approxim ateiy $4,000, 900.
The returns on railroad property are
not due for several weeks. The as
sessed valuation last year was $751;
1895, making a gain in the assessed
valuation of property In Silver Bow
county, allowing that the railroad val
uation will be the same as last year, of
more than $2t 1000. 900.
This is the largest assessment ever
made in Silver Bow county. A part of
this remarkable increase is due to the
increase In the net proceeds of some
of the mines, but on the other hand
It Is noted that the Butte and Superior
Mining company fell below in net
proceeds this year by more than six
and a half million dollars as compared
with last year. ftau the Butte anu
Superior company made the showing
1t did last year. the assessed valua-
ton would have been very close to
500. .000, 900. Another reason for the
great gain is the heavy improvement
on real estate in Butte.

LUTHER BURBANK PERFECTS
SEED TO GROW SUPERWHEAT
California Wizards New Wheat
Will Increase the Average
Yield Per Acre Five Times
and Solve the Grain Short
age Problem.
Copyright 1917, Newspaper Enterprise
Association.)
BY JACK JUNGMEYER.

Santa Rosa. Cal, July 9.-Luther
Burbank, the worlds greatest scientific
agriculturist. today announced the
perfection of super wheat" which
he believes will go far toward solving
the universal problem of grain short
age.
Its yield Is Ave times as much per
acre as the average production
throughout the United States today.
Where 15 bushels are now garnered,
40 to 70 is the measure of the new
Burbank variety. II is as IL this
genius of the plant kingdom had
suddenly extended many fold Amer
ica's wheat acreage.
The promise of this achievement for
a hunger threatened world can scarce
ly be overestimated.
1t is the product of 10 years ex-
tensive and very expensive expert
menting to combine into one wonder
full new grain the best food qualities,
hardihood and fecundity of many
strains of wheat selected from all
parts of the earth.
1t has been carefully tested in COM
parison with 6S of the worlds best
wheats and excels every one OF them
in productiveness
Burbank told me about this wonder
grain here for the first time today.
