CORPORATE PROPERTY VALUES
INCREASED BY 1000, 600 IN 1923
ASSESSMENT FOR STATE

lature appropriated $1S7,500 to reim-
burse the various counties for soldiers
exemption, which had not been al
lowed.
In addition to this the board was
compelled to make a sufficient levy
to take care of a deficit of $54 900
araising in the various state depart
ments in 1922, and a deficit of $213,-
900 arising from expenditures author
lied by the auditor under the law,
but for which no appropriation had
been made. If it had not been for
these unusual expenditures accruing
for the past two years, the board
would have been able to reduce the
state tax levy, because of the fact
that the appropriations for the vari-
Gus state departments had been in
most every instance reduced.
In some counties of the state there
was an increased valuation of town
property in order to equalize urban
property with rural property. This
increase, however, does not effect the
tax paid for county and school pur-
poses, inasmuch as the various
counties have until next Monday to
make their local levies. The correct
ed valuations therefore, should mean
a corresponding decrease OF the local,
county and school district tax rates.
This increase will mean something
less than $4,000 additional tax to be
paid to the State and in no other way
does it affect the amount of taxes to
be paid by the taxpayers of Wyoming.
The following telegram vas sent
Saturday morning by the board to
assessors in Rawlins, Laramie, Basin,
Douglas, Lander, Sheridan, Green
River, Evanston and Newcastle:
"The parallel raises made in your
county must necessarily decrease your
levies and therefore do not increase
the amount of taxes to be paid for
school, municipal or county purposes.
Your levies shall be computed upon
the valuations as certified by US. See
Chapter 10, Session Laws, of 1929"

fruits and vegetables. The total capt.
tai investment in irrigated land
amounts to 500, 900 900.
Nowhere in the world are the meth
DDS of irrigation more modern or
more efficient than In the United
States. Centrifugal or r~eciprocating
pumps are in use on all irrigating sys-
tens, driven by various forms Of en-
ergy. steam. gasolene or electricity.
The electric motor. which can be con-
trolled from a distance. has come into
much prominence for this work with
in the last ten or fifteen years. until
now some OF the most successful
farms which depend upon irrigation
are using electric motors for their
pumps.

Chickens Don't

J.. r. Bonwell, one of our local

country about as well as any one, and
who gets his share of sage chicken
in the proper season, says that in all
his experiences he has never found a
grasshopper in a sage chicken that
he ever killed, and he killed them
where the hoppers were very thick.
He does not claim they do not eat
them, but he has never found any
evidence to that effect.-Basin Re

After State boards raise in Big
Horn county real estate and improve
ments the valuations in Big Horn
county show one million dollars less
in nineteen twenty three than in
nineteen twenty two. After boards
raise in valuations of corporate pro-
perty in Big Horn county total valua-
ton of Big Horn county shows one
million dollars more in nineteen
twenty three than in nineteen twenty
two. 1t is plain that taxes on real
estate and improvements have been
lowered.
State Board of Equalization
Members of the State Board of
Equalization said Saturday that the
assessed valuation of all the property
in Wyoming is Approximately $780,
600, 900 greater for the year 1928 than
for 1922, of which $4,000, COO was due
to the natural growth of the state,
and SCI, 100000 to the increased as
sessment against the corporate pro-
perty, principally the railroads.
The mill levy for 1923 for state
purposes is 3.S mills. Last year it
was 3.O6S mills, and in 1921, it was
4.3527 mills. The increase of .723
mills in the state tax levy this year
means an increase of less that $.74
on every thousand dollars of valua-
ton. This increase was made nee
essary by the fact that according to
the estimate of the secretary of state
the income from the corporation tax
will not be as great as was estimated
at the time the state legislature was
in session. At that time it was be-
lieved hat the income would be ap-
proximately 100000. The figures
officially presented to the board in
innate that the income will not be
more than 100000. Additional ex

Egypt irrluates by Sweat
This Is all In strange contrast with

ers irrigate their fields by the same
toilsome. ineffective methods that
we're used thousands Of years ago. A
favorite device is the shaduf, operated
by men, or the sakiyah, operated by
oxen.
The shaduf consists OF a leather
bucket. holding about w and a half
gallons. suspended from n weighted
pole fastened to n horizontal rod be-
tween two uprights. When a mans
weight is thrown upon the bucket the
latter is lowered into the water. and
upon being filled the weighted pole
lifts the bucket high enough to allow
