bulletin OF the Amalgamated Sugar
company. The bulletin is as follows:
Land broken out of alfalfa and
planted to potatoes is fine to follow
with beets. II beets were grown the
previous year a coat of manure
should be applied. Avoid foul land
such as wild oats and other noxious
weeds.
''If unable to fall pillow, good re-

planting potato and beet land with

COUNTY AUDIT WILL
EXTEND BACK FOR
PERIOD OF A YEARS
County Records to BE Given Com
piete Perusal, According to
Prediction Pledges.

Following out their prediction
campaign pledges. the board of
county commissioners, composed of
r. Dan Conner. ]. d. Barnhart and
o. Z. Carlson, is advertising for bids
for making a complete county audit
to cover the four-year period begin
ming with the sworn and published
statement of the county auditor as
of the second Monday in January,
1919.
Bids are to be in the hands of the
commissioners on or before April 3
and the work will start as soon after
that date as a contract can be drawn
with the low bidder, according to j.
ID. Barnhart, chairman OF the board.
Bids are to be submitted and the
audit made according to written stip-
ulations on file in the office of the
county commissioners.
The specifications provide that the
audit shall be a "four-year complete
and detailed audit of all accounts of
all departments, including the coun-
ty agent and excepting the county
fair and hospital" The reason given
for the exclusion of these two de-
partments is that their records are
of separate nature in part from the
county and a separate audit OF them
will be made, Mr.. Barnhart said.
The specifications further state
that such audit must cover all
transactions and include the verifi-
cation of the correctness of the books
of accounts and cash balances OF
each county officer"
Among the other provisions in
cluded are an examination of all
claims paid by the county as well as
all purchases and payrolls, taxrolls,
and provision is made for establish
ing balance sheets and statements
of delinquent taxes and tax prop
erty sold.

Property May Be
Redeemed Before
Sold for Taxes
Passage and Signing of House Bill
Affects Unpaid Taxes for
1920, 1921 and 1922

BOISE.-Lifting tremendous
burden from taxpayers who have
been unable to pay their property
taxes during the past three years,
Governor Moore last week signed
house bill "a, which provides that
real property may be redeemed be-
fore il is sold for taxes delinquent
for the years 1920, 1921 and 1922,
by payment of the original amount
of the taxes plus interest at per
cent. This relieves those who have
been unable to pay their taxes for
these years of the heavy penalties
that would accrue.
In some sections of the state
where farmers have been unable to
pay their taxes because of the gen.
eral depression that has hit agricul-
ture, the penalties on delinquent
taxes have made a staggering bur-
den. II was to relieve this situation
that house bill "a was passed.
In his opening message to the
legislature Governor Moore said:
The present penalty plus the high
rate Oh INTEREST oh uehhVucht ba&es
approaches confiscation in many
cases / would suggest your eanest
consideration OF this matter with a
view to giving some relief"
Signing Of this bill by the gov
ernor brings genuine relief to thou
sands of property owners in the
state who have been staggering un-
der the burden OF delinquent taxes
OF the past three years which have
been mounting through the heavy
penalties to the point where many
could not pay them.

There has been less rain and anow
fall In Burley since the first OF last
September than during any similar
period since the reclamation service
began keeping records here. The pre-
vious low record from September l
to March 1 was made In 1890.
when the total precipitation for the
period amounted TO S.76 inches.
From September /. ls22 to March
/. 1928 we had ass inches OF pre-
cipitation.
Little Moisture In Ground.
This light fall OF rain and snow
is not confined to Burley or the Min
idoka project, but extends through
out Cassia county and the Minidoka
National forest reserve In Twin Falls
and other adjoining counties. 1t is
significant in that IL means that
there Is little moisture in the ground
either on the farms or the open
ranges and that there Is only a small
amount OF water stored In the noun
tains for summer.
Prospects Bad
In fact the prospects for the water
supply for the Raft river and Albion
sections for the coming irrigation
season are the worst they have been
for generation. While the snow fall
In the Goose creek mountains Is also
the lightest In many years. the big
reservoir above Oakley contains a
fair supply OF water. most OF which
was carried over from last year.
However, without heavy spring
storms the entire territory will suf-
fer severe water shortage and the
summer and fall ranges will be In
bad condition.
SNOW Fall Light.
Jackson lake reservoir contains
approximately $4,000 scre-feet more
water than at this time last year.
However. the precipitation In the
mountains feeding the lake Is only
81 inches ms against IL for last
year. or approximately 20 per cent
less. The excess water in the lake
at this time ia due to the carry-over
from last year. As the reservoir
