Ward county purchased the N. w.
quarter of Sec. II, Twp. 154, Range
SO, adjoining the Ward County Dem
onstration farm on the northwest,
from Emma Knudson Ford Wednesday
for $6,000.00 cash. This gives Ward
county 48O acres in its Demonstration
and Poor Farm.
The county commissioners had no
desire to buy the farm at this time,
but were compelled to do so, as the
people of Ward county voted in No
vember in favor Of buying a quarter
section of land, the proposition carry
ing by a majority Of more than 800.
Commissioner Spicher is Of the
opinion that the county has no more
use for this extra quarter Of land
than dog has for two tails. Mr..
Spicher has been a big grain farmer
in his day and knows how easy it is
to lose money raising grain.
Commissioner Haldi is inclined to
think that the 800 acres originally
was a large enough farm. Both Spi-
cher and Haldi agree that Ward coun-
ty should grow its own garden truck,
potatoes, etc, but forget about wheat
ETC., except that which is grown for
experimental purposes.

Capt. Cross Dodge Car Found Par.
TALLY Dismantled

The Dodge car stolen from Capt.
Gross Saturday night, was found close
beside q little used highway m,le
and a half northeast of Surrey Dy
Geo. Reishus Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Reishus, knowing of the loss Of
the car, made record of the number
and notified Mr.. Gross. The car
was in as good condition as when
taken, having been driven but ten
miles, except that about $125.00 worth
Of the parts had been stripped from
it. The two cord tires and rims
were taken from the left side Of the
light bulbs, chains, and all tools We're
missing. The thieves had intended
dismantling the car entirely no doubt,
as the rubber hose between the radi-
ator and the engine had been remov-
ed. The thieves probably became
frightened. Mr.. Gross carried no
insurance, and is glad to get his ma
chine back.

ASSESSED VALUATlun ',.2 y. >!M'.1N0T
BUSINESS BLOCKS BOOSTED 50
PER CENT BY STATE BOARD.

Word was received in Minot Satur-
day that the State Board of Equaliza-
tion had raised the assessed valuation
of the buildings in the business dis
trict Of Minot 500.
The city board of equalization had
lowered the assessed valuation on both
the business blocks and lots in the
business district 25% from last years
figures, but the county board raised
them 20%. Now comes the state
board and boosts those figures 500
higher than the valuation arrived at
by the county board.
This does not mean that the taxes
on business houses in Minot are to
be 500 higher than last year, as it
will effect only the state and county
taxes. City Assessor Wheeler has
figured what the increased taxation
will mean to the Leland hotel block
and informs the Independent that it
will mean the tax on this block will
be about ten percent higher than a
year ago.
The state and county tax together
aggregates approximately II mills.
The tax money for the schools, parks
and expenses of running the city gen.
orally is raised not in mills, but in
stipulated sums of money and this
sum will not be effected by the 500
increase set by the state board.
In the aggregate however, this
means a vast sum to the Minot tax
payers. City Attorney Coyle accom-
panied by Atty. L. j. Palda went to
Bismarck Monday and have taken the
matter up with the state board of
equalization which has not yet ad-
journed. At this writing the Inde-
pendent does not know whether The
attorneys were able to secure any re-
lief, but if not, the matter will be
taken before the Supreme court.
There is no question but what the
state board has shown discrimination
in dealing with Minot and may be
proved conclusively by comparing the
taxes on buildings in the business dis
trict Of this city with buildings of a
like nature in Grand Forks, Fargo
and other cities of the state. To
increase the taxes on business prop
erty in Minot would mean higher
rents and this increased expense Of.
conducting business would have to be
passed on to the residents Of Minot.

tary district attending the Interna-
tional Convention at Edinburgh, Scot

was able to secure with the Pope

furnished chambers, waiting some
times ten minutes in each chamber,
the party were finally ushered into the
room where the Pope was to receive
them. He appeared in very simple
white gown, smiling in an exceedingly
friendly manner. He made short
address which was immediately
translated, wherein he declared that
he hoped that the principles of Rotary
would soon be adopted thruout the
world. Mr.. Blacks description Of
his visit to Venice. of his ride in the
gondolas on the i'll smelling "sewers"
was amusing. He spent two days
at Monte Carlo. Mrs. Black accom-
panied him on the journey. Living
expenses in Scotland are low, he said.
At one of the large hotels, it cost
himself and wife but $1.4O for sup
per, bed and breakfast. The peo-
pie pie Of Europe generally sneaking,
look upon the United States as the
promised land. One cannot compare

thot is they should be sentenced to

Mr.. Blacks name was presented in
the Rotary convention as candidate
for First Vice President of the Inter-
national Rotary. This was against
his will, altho it was considered a sig

COUNTY BUYS LAND
FOR DEMONSTRATION FARM

Commissioner Aug. Krantz appears
to think that the ideal North Dakota
farm is section of land, which will
permit a farmer to operate his own
threshing rig and give him plenty Of
land to summer fallow. Mr.. Krantz
states that the only way to farm in
North Dakota is to plow the land for
every third crop, starting in by sum-
mer fallowing, or growing corn, then
following up with wheat and rye.
The county ""dads" say that the

STOCK DECLINES In
NUMBERS AND PRICE
Mich Cows Alone Show Increase in
Numbers in Minnesota Over
Year

The annual live stock report of the
Bureau of Crop Estimates issued by
the Statistician foR Minnesota, Paul
H. Kirk, shows a decline in this
state of all classes of live stock with
the single exception of mich cows:
Commenting on this report, Mr..
Kirk says: cit is only natural with
declining prices of farm animals and
a financial pressure to sell, that prac-
tically all kinds of live stock show a
decline-January 1, 1921, compared
with January 1, 1920. Farmers,
bankers, credit men, in fact all bust
ness men realize the financial stabil-
ity of general business, when the
farmer has something from which he
can secure a steady monthly income.
The dairy industry supplies such an
income and therefore the farmer de-
termined to retain as many COWS as
possible and in general he was en-
couraged when possible to net sacri-
flee the mich COWS.
The number of COWS in Minnesota
on January 1, 1921, is estimated to
be 100000 with an average value
per head of $500 or total value of
72,54O,O0O. For 1920, the number
was the same but the average price
per head was $50 so that the total
value January 1, 1920, was $114,-
100000. This is loss of $41,85O,-
900 in the comparative values for
the two years.
All other cattle in Minnesota on
January 1, 1921, were 1861, 900
compared with 1,75O,OOO, a decline
of per cent. This decline is due
to unsatisfactory prices for feeding

cattle and fairly large marketing of
calves which many did not think pro-
fitable to carry through the winter.
The average price per head January
1, 1921, of other cattle was $1,000
compared with 1890 January 1,
1920. The comparative loss in value
in 1921 due to decreased numbers
and lower price is $21,178,4OO.
Horses, probably due to decreased
number of young stock on farms
more than any other factor, shows
decline of 3 per cent. Number on
hand January 1, 1921, is $4,000,
the average price per head is $50,
the number January 1, 1920, was
$40, 900, average price 500.
Due to the Generalization of the
wool market and decline in the price
of mutton, sheep show sharp de-
cline, being per cent less than last
year. The number on farms Janu-
airy 1, 1921, was $4,000, average
price per head $6.25. The total
value is $3,737,5OO, number on
farms January 1, 1920, 100000,
average price per head, $11.00, total
value, $4,000.
Swine declined per cent compared
with the number January 1, 1920.
While swine did not decline in price
as much as sheep the comparative
loss due to decline in price and de-
creased number is $31,93S,1O0 or
nearly as much as the farm value
on January 1, 1921. The number on
farms January 1, 1921, is estimated
to be 2,SO3,OOO, the average price
per head, $780,. On January /,
1920, there we're 1881, 900 swine on
farms with an average value per
head of $24.
There are 5000 mules estimated
on farms in Minnesota January /,
1921. The farm value January 1,
1921, was '$558,00O while on Janu-
airy 1, 1920, it was $594,O0O. The
price January 1, 1921, was 500, a

Marquis wheat Best for Planting


Marquis wheat is recommended for
spring planting in 1921 by farm
crops division men at University
Farm. Conceding that it is not rust
resistant, Marquis is high yielder
under conditions where rust is not
abundant, and is of high milling
value. Kota is more rust resistant
than Marquis, say station men, but
it appears to be weak strawed and
only a moderate yielder in Minnesota.
Very little seed of. Kota is available.
Ruby is declared to be wheat of
good milling value, but appears to
be only a medium yielder, and it's
earliness apparently does not enable
it to escape, rust to any extent. Red
Bobs is a fair yielder of rather poor
quality wheat under rust free condi-
lions.
