Use Sense in Tax Problems.

Taxes should he reduced in Iowa, not
through oratory. but through the ScnSi-
bic busincSs-like consideration Of taxa
ton prOblems--this is the way Presi-
dent X. A. Pearson OF Iowa State col
lecc puts the matter in his addresses
TO farmers in many sections OF the
state.
ii is altogether natural that Iowa
farmers should be greatly interested
in reducing taxation and other liked
charges against them. President Pear
son points out. because they are as
high, or higher than ever. Costs OF
materials and services which the
farmer must buy he says, ARE ab-
normally high. and prices received Tor
farm products are abnOrmally low
When thu. fiji rmcr from his reduced ill.,
come has paid his taxes and other fixed
charges. he has very little left for his
usual supplies and other expenses
Taxes should he reduced as much
os possible. President Pearson agrees
with those who urge reduction, hut
he adds that it should be remembered
that about 30 per cent of the taxes
are expended within the county where
raised and under local authority
Sight must not he lost if the i'm
portancc of research and education in
the field of agriculture. says President
Pearson. These activities are corner
stones on which the success of agri-
culture rests. Strenuous EFFORTS are
Icing made in other countries to i'm
prove met hods of food production in
order to reduce costs ana ALREADY
some countries have tried to invade
American markets with agricultural
products. Agriculture in America will
Lot WELD to such competition, for IT
i, within onr ability TO discover as
many uScful facts as can be done in
any other nation.
Large production is responsible 10
a considerable extent for low prices
for farm products. according to I'rcSi-
dent Pearson. The area planted III
cereals in 1921" he says, was about
10 per cent in excess of the average
before the war. Much of the surplus
wheat has been exported to the great
benefit of suffering people in Europe.
The corn crops for each of the last
two years showed about I'D per cent
increase above normal. if farmers
would store this surplus which they
do not want to feed. the situation
wOnld improve rapidly.
An induccmcnt for storing corn
comes in the fact that we must eN-
poet poorer crop growing weather liiis

SPECIAL POTATO REPORT

The yield of potatoes in South Da-
kota is placed at S5 bushels per acre,
or a total production of 8,500,000 bu-
shells for the state. This is only a
minor reduction from one month ago.
After allowing for local consumption
this would indicate that the state still
had a surplus of approximately $3.50
cars. Up to September Goth this year,
only 1888 cars had moved, leaving APP
proXimately $3.50 cars yet to go. BY
this date last year, a total of LIS
cars had been shipped. Thus far the
harvesting of this crop has been very
slow and the actual movement which
will be made is most p~roblematical,
being dependent on the future prices
which so far have been entirely I'M
satisfactory. The crop in South Da-
kota is only about 1000, 900 bushels
larger than the previous five year av-
erage when last years short crop and
that of 1918 are both included. 1t is
about SOC, 900 bushels less than hat
produced in 1920 and does not very a
great deal from the production of 1918.
States that enter directly into com
petition with the South Dakota COM
mercial crop Of potatoes show the fol
estimated production.
