STATE TAXES
W ELL PAID
Payments For Three Years
Show Average Over
80 Per Cent y

The total of state taxes collected
for the years 1919, 1920 and 1921
now exceeds 80 percent for each
year, while the taxes thus far COL
lected for 1922, all of which are not
yet due, totals 48.7 percent, accord
ing to compilation made by State
Treasurer John Steen as of Septem-
Der l.
The 1919 state levy for all pur-
poses was $3,673, 1922 and collec-
tions amount to $3,6OO,699.6l, or 90
percent. The 1920 levy was $685.
5s2.7S, of which $2,635,592.12 was
collected, or .92.4 percent. The 1921
levy was $4,655, ,7O6.1O and collections
totalled $4,304 ,094.9 or 92.4 percent.
The levy for 1922 totalled $4,765,-
284.41 and collections total $685.
4O3.88, of 48.7 percent of the total.
The average for 1919 is regarded as
especially good, since it is the usual
procedure of the state board Of
to make it's levy with
the expectation that at least five
percent of the total tax will never
be collected, due to people moving
from the taxing jurisdiction and 9TH
er. reasons.

Huge Yields Predicted by

Local Man Declares Bismarck

Corn is king of the Burlegh coun-

Reports from every part of the
county tell of huge yields Of corn.
Iowa people visiting here are reported
as declaring that Burleigh county
corn this year will average better
than Iowa corn.
While some good yields Of wheat,
oats and barley are reported, and
there will be some especially big
yields of flax, which promises to be
good money crop, corn is securely
erthroned as king.
Because of the great amount of
corn and the fact that other feed
is plentiful it is, expected that this
fall will see an increase in the num-

F. E. Young, Bismarck real estate
man, today related conversations
with number Of. farmers in this
county. which plainly illustrates the
ascendency of corn. Mr.. Young's let
ter to The Tribune, urging gen.
eral campaign to boost Burleigh
county as equal to the best corn
states in the union, follows:
walter Jones living near Magnus,
8 miles southeast Of Bismarck, has
a l5-acre field Of corn which he
claims will 60 60 to 70 bushels per
acre while his other corn, so acres or
so. he believes will average 80 bush
els. so
"Archie Marvel, near Br.ttin, has
35 acres he claims will 60 80 bushels
to the acre, though he is too enthusi-
astic of course, but it ought to go
60 by the looks Of it.
"Adolph Geovononi, near Brittin
tells me that in the 20 years he has
been raising corn he has never hac-
vested less than 20 bushels, to the
acre and this year it will average
over 40.
I'D Chesak and. Paul Happel, of
near Stewartsdale have splendid corn
which they believe will 60 so bushels
or better.
Last year, Pat Sullivan, east Of
Fort Lincoln had 80 acres of corn
which averaged 40 bushels to the
acre. He seeded this land to wheat
this year and will get perhaps or
6 bushels to the acre. He says mo
more wheat for me- Charlie Smith
Of Brittin is having the same expert
ence though his wheat will probably
run 10 bushels.
"Oscar Anderson, of Magnus, is
cured of the wheat habit, he not hav.
ing kernel on his farm this year
and says never again.
every farmer you talk to has the
sHme story to tell. have not talked
to one who has not claimed that his
corn would go 40 bushels to the acle,
and while believe this will be hlg::
average, l do believe the county will
average over 80 bushels.
"Iowa people who have been in the
past month or so tell me that this
year our corn in this county, will
average better than theirs will aver

ORDERS GIVEN
FOR WORK ON
THE RED TRAIL
Road Maintenance Contractor
Instructed to Improve
Worst Stretch East
ROAD PLANS CIV EN-
Maintenance Work Will BE
Continued if Demanded
and Funds Available

The Red Trail east of Bismarck,
particularly the stretch. between
Sterling and Menoken,, will be i'm
proved Immediately, according to
Acting Chairman c. A. Swan
son of the. board. of coun-
ty commi ssioners. Mr.. Swanson said
that the contractor for the maintar,
ance of the road had been instructsa
to get busy on the road with a blade
machine Immediately after a rain
and last nights rain made it possi-
BILE to begin the work. The plan 10,
he said, to level the road down and
to fill in the holes with. gravel Re-
Gently, he said. the road. had been
so hard and dry that work could not
be done on 1t.
John Elsner, who has been engag-
ed in maintenance work, has been
transferred to this stretch.
The commissioners this summer
undertook a new plan of road MAIN
tenance, letting contracts to men
who agreed to drag the roads after
rains and keep them in shape. Three
different contractors "flunked" on
the job on the stretch between Sterl-
ing and Menoken, the acting chair
man Of the commissioners said.
The county commissioners believe,
however. that the plan Of road main
tenance has worked successfully,
and if the people demand it and
funds are available it will be continu-
ed and perhaps extended next year.
It is not likely that new gravel roads
will be built. but the commissioners
under the new policy will endeavor
to maintain the roads the county now
has. Mr.. Swanson said The chief
difficulty in the maintenance plan,
he said, has been to get good men
who will keep on the job.
One Of the chief efforts in road
work this summer, according to COM
missioners, was to provide necessary
culverts. About SO small. concrete
culverts have been put in this year.
Many Of them were put in by the
men who held contracts to maintain
the roads. This, Mr.. Swanson said.
was found to be cheaper than any
other method and just as satisfac-
tory. IS
The roads maintained this year in
cluded the Red Trail, the road from
Sterling to Moffit which Mr.. Swan
son said was as smooth as a floor,
the road to Wilton and the Ignite
trail from Wilton to the Kidder
county line.
