REDUCED STATE TAXES

The economy program outlined by
Governor c.. C. Moore and carried
out by the 1928 legislature and state
board of equalization is bringing
about a reduction Of over IL per cent
in the tax levy for state purposes in
1928, states the the Idaho Statesman
of October 6.
This statement was issued by the
state auditors office Friday, after a
survey of the levies made by the var
ious boards of county commission
ers. Statements of levies from prac-
tically all counties have been re-
ceived by the state auditor during
the past week.
This reduction of IL per cent is
especially noteworthy when the fact
that the valuation of the state has
been reduced approximately two mil
lions of dollars is considered. The
real property roll for 1922 shows
$459,219,692.S as compared with
$457,773,547.3 for 1928. The per-
sonal property roll for 1922 carried
a total valuation of 23,573,204. The
figures for 1928 on personal property
are not yet completely available.
The levies for county purposes, in
Guiding schools and roads, show an
average increase of over per cent
altho many counties have made a
courageous effort to reduce expenses
The increase in many counties is due
to the action of the county board in
putting on, a maximum warrant re-
demption levy to clean up outstand-
ing warrants. Outstanding warrants
usually indicate failure Of a preced-
ing board to levy sufficient amount
to meet current bills.
The largest reduction in the state
in Nez Perez county, where the state
levy was reduced from "a to AZ cents
on each 500 of assessed value and
the county levy was reduced from
$1.62 to $1.02 on each 500 of as
sessed value.
Bingham reduced the state levy
from 65 to 48 cents and the county
levy from 1925 to $1.7S on each
800 of valuation. Blaine and Can
yon counties increased the county
evy 80 cents and 95 cents respect
vely. However, in each case the
county board put on maximum war
ant redemption levy of 81. Without
his redemption levy each county
would show decrease. In each case
tate levy was reduced.
According to the state auditor, it
8 evident that the majority OF
ounties have entered into the spirit

NEW POTATO RECORD

The Times-Register of Idaho Falls
i publishes the following account of
how Perry Stone rebuilt his fortunes
at st Anthony, raising potatoes:
When the story Of this years crop
written there will be some marvellous
stories to tell. ~
Stories of big yields Of wheat have
been published, stories of phenomi-
nal yields of seed peas and other
products, including clover seed, but
the prize story of them all to this
time, is potato story from the Egin
Bench country, where the potato
crop of Perry Stone is being har-
| vested.
According to the story Stone met
with the disaster which has over
come so many, and was almost at
the end of things, but with renewed
faith In himself and his country, he
took up his work again.
He was able, thru some backing,
so the story goes, to rent 130-acre
farm near Parker, on a cash rental
basis of $25 an acre. He planted the
entire 100 acres to Russell potatoes,
the brand for which this section of
Idaho is famous. The crop was con-
tracted to be sold at $1.35 per 100
pounds field run.
The crop is being harvested and
the story goes, and it is verified by
eye witnesses, that the crop is run
ming from $50 to 275 sacks to the
acre. So heavy is this crop that as
many as $500 sacks day are being
taken off of the fields. Two men
picked and sacked 447 sacks in seven
hours and 20 minutes. A measured
acre produced AL sacks which, no
doubt, will make new record for
this production.
Now for the interesting part of the
story: The average is between ESQ
and 275 sacks to the acre, which
means general average of 265 sacks
to the acre, 120 pounds to the sack
means 4 ,151, 800 pounds production
on the 100 acres. Selling the crop at
$1.30 field run means the enormous
total of $55, gross for the
crop.
R. Fitzwater of the firm Of Fitz-
water C Miner, potato dealers Of
Idaho Falls, visited the field in ques-
ton and checked up on the figures
which make up the big yield.
Mr. Fitzwater says that the land
on which the big crop was produced
is no different from thousands of
acres surrounding it, but which is
not producing anything like the crop
in question, all of which goes to show
what can be done with upper Snake
river valley potato land and with
other crops when the right man with
The right seed, and who gives the
and and crop proper attention can
BRING about.
The crop will no doubt, stand for
| long time as record breaker un-
ess someone can produce figures
which will be in excess.
