cities. towns or ether subdivisions OF
cur state. Many organizations, too
uumar Us 10 mention, are perform
/ ing almost identical operations. One
may be highly efficient, another
wasteful or eXtraragent. II Brown
performs some operation well and
more cheaply than Smith, should not
the former be proclaimed as one
qualified to make suggestions?
And to make my point more clear:
/ We do much of our highway work by
contract; considerable force account
work is done by the various highway
districts. Some highway districts
have complete reliable data as to
cost of work, expressed in proper
units, and can discuss the cost OF
their work as compared to similar
work done by contract or otherwise
But considering all such work thru
out the state, does one county know
how they stand on their unit costs
as compared to the adjoining count
les? Do they know how they stand
as compared to all other counties in
the state? Cannot information be
furnished the public as to high" or
'loW" costs?
Such comparisons reduced to unit
costs can also be applied to other op,
eraticns, viz; Cost of operating school
districts; cost of maintaining cities
and villages; cost of state depart
ments in Idaho compared with sim
liar departments in other states; cost
of state institutions reduced to a
per capita basis; cost of operating
Carey Act reclamation projects. re-
duced to common unit cost.
Such information would stimulate
interest in ones particular operation
would cause the inefficient to
watch their methods and strive to
improve; would give the efficient one
the satisfaction Of knowing that. his
efforts were publicly announced;
would cause a search for reasons. AS
the saying goes: "a word to the
wise is sufficient" in such compari-
sons.

Referring to the fourth biennial

based on average daily attendance.
The average for these twenty-nine

IDAHO CROP REPORT
By JULIUS H. JACOBSON

Idaho farmers had $500, 600
/ bushels of wheat, 100000 bushels
of oats and 1,04G,00 bushels of bar
ley on their farms March 1. Never
before has such large percentage of
the previous years crops been held
, on silimar dating. The wheat hold
ings amount to 25 per cent, oats AZ
per cent, and barley 80 per cent and
represents quantities actually on
farms and not such amounts as have
been moved to public elevators,
warehouses, etc. March l last year
found IA per cent or 2,670, 900
bushels of wheat; % per cent or
1,75O,000 bushels of oats and IA
per cent or 37S,OO0 bushels Of barley
on farms.
The situation a year ago was al
most the reverse when there was
ready market, but shortage of cars
to move crops. The immense crops
this year have had to contend with
a demoralized market and which has
generally been regarded as decidedly
Improbable.
Farm Land Values
In common with most states, land
values in Idaho have decreased some
what the past year. This is not due
to decreased productivity of Idaho
lands, but rather to a falling off in
prices of all commodities and con-
sequent lack of interest in farm
lands.
1t should be kept in mind that land
values were unusually high in 1920,
in fact the highest in the history of
the state and that while they are
lower this year, still 1921 values are
higher than in any year previous to
1901

other definite selections in the very near
future. He is understood to have de-

that after delivering the opening ad

he will remain in the background oi
