STATE AGRICULTURAL EX-
PERTS OPENS AT U. OF /.

Stressing maximum service as a
keynote of extension work, President
A. H. Upham Saturday morning well
coined to the campus the extension
workers who are here for an eight
day conference, the first in three
years. This conference will discuss
the agricultural situation in the state
and will evolve program for the
coming year and probably for sever
al years.
There is much to be gained by the
Closest possible coordination be-
tween workers of the extension di-
vision and the resident staff of the
university" said President Upham.
Extension Service Meeting Needs
"The counties are looking 10 the
extension division for agricultural
leadership and after a three weeks
tour l am convinced that they are
getting that leadership. tits gratify-
ing to go into communities where the
extension service is operating, to
see how it has adapted itself to the
needs of the community and is work
ing away at something that may
mean infinite possibilities within a
comparatively short time"
e. J. Iddings, dean of the college OF
agriculture and recently appointed
director of the extension division,
traced significant developments in
agriculture since the last general
conference.
Conference Takes Broad Scope
Attending the conference are field
specialists, county agents, sub-sta-
ton and field experiment station sup
erintendents, field instructors in CO.
operation with the United States Vet
Grams bureau, and members of the
resident and experiment station fac
ulty. Invitations have also been sent
to the various forces throughout the
estate interested in agriculture to
submit suggestions that will enable
the conference to perfect the most
satisfactory and efficient program
possible.
1t was pointed out that the great
variety of soil and climatic condi-
tions makes impossible the formula
ton of a detailed program to fit all
counties. A general program which
with minor notifications may be sat
isfactory in all parts of the state is
sought as the outcome of the con-
ference. EsE
The afternoon session was dis
cussion of the agricultural problem

this session the proposed plans of

ECONOMY PROGRAM
REDUCES STATE LEVY

BOise-The economy program out
lined by Governor c. G. Moore and
carried out by the 1928 legislature and
state board of equalization is bring
ing about reduction of over IL per
cent in the tax levy for state purposes
in 1928 states the Idaho Statesman.
This statement was issued by the
state auditors office after a survey
of the levies made by the various
boards of county commissioners
Statements of levies from practically
all counties have been received by the
state auditor during the past week
This reduction of II 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
$459,219,6 9,692.89 as compared with
$457,773, ,547.32 for 1928. The personal
property roll for 1922 carried a total
valuation of $23,573 ,204. The fig
ures for 1928 on personal property
are not yet completely available.
The levies for county purposes, in
cluding schools and roads, show an
average increase of over per cent,
although 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 maximum warrant re-
demption levy to clean up outstand-
ing warrants. Outstanding warrants
usually indicate failure of a preced-
ing board to levy a sufficient amount
to meet current bills.
The largest reduction in the state
is made in Nez Perce county, where
the state levy was reduced from 81 to
AZ cents on each $100 assessed value
and the county levy was reduced from
$162 to $1.O2 on each $100 of assessed
value.
from IS to 48 cents and the county
levy from $2.25 to SITS on each $1O0
of valuation. Blaine and Canyon
counties increased the county levy 80
cents and 95 cents respectively.
However, in each case the county
board put on a maximum warrant re-
demption levy of ST.. Without this
redemption levy each county would
show a decrease. In each case state
levy was reduced.
According to the state auditor, it is
evident that the majority of counties
have entered into the spirit of the
econOmye program.
