feet: A certain farmer residing near
a prosperous Iowa village desired to
enlarge his borders, SO he fiddled
around until he got the price of anoth-
er farm in that same region. The
price asked was $4,000. The certain
farmer agreed to the price and he and
the owner of the farm set a day when
they would meet in one Of the banks
of the village.
The day came and so did the two
farmers. The papers were duly drawn
and executed and the seller was ex-
pecting his buyer to get busy and
draw check But instead of that
the buyer unconcernedly opened bag
he was carrying, and to the amaze
ment of the seller and the attending
hacker, slowly and deliberately count

Tax COmmissionl

(By ]. B. Armson, Chairman MINI.
Tax Commission)
Mr.. Lovejoy's article on the ex-
perience of Michigan with it's cut
over lands can be studied with profit
by the people of Minnesota. Perhaps
the situation is not quite as acute
with us at the present time as it is
in Michigan. We had an increase
in both acreage in farms and number
of farms in the decade between 1910
and 1920, while Michigan showed a
decrease in both. But numbering
operations were started much earlier
in that state than with us, conse-
quently, Michigan reached the "cut-
over" stage earlier than we did. 1t
is not improbable that the census of
1880 will show drift with us toward
Michigan's experience, a reduction in
farm acreage and number of farms.
Northern Minnesota, like Northern
Michigan, most of it was originally
heavily timbered, and like Michigan,
must of it is now cut-over lands.
Delinquent taxes are piling up from
year to year on thousands of acres
of it. This is not surprising. In
1925 tax rates in 1919 rural districts
in eight northern counties of the
state exceeded 100 mills on each dol
lar of assessed value, 16 of them
exceeding $50 mills. With such ex-
cessive rates it is small wonder that
owners of cut-over lands that cannot
be sold because unsuited for farming
purposes have stopped paying taxes
on them.
Like Michigan, the assessing Off
Gals in some of the northern dis
tricts of the state have reached the
"dickering" stage with owners of cut
over lands. They are told that unless
such lands are assessed at nominal

Growth records are kept for some of

foods are discussed and help to prove
why care is necessary in food selec-

patterns help the dressmaker, the

easy way of meal planning. Real
izing that other requirements beside
food needs must be considered by the
housewife, problems of preparing at

consideration. A food budget is dew
eloped to show how the needs may
be met by the food supply available
to Minnesota housewives.

value the owners will no longer pay
taxes on them. With high tax rates
and in many cases high valuations
the owners of unproductive lands soor
discover that it is cheaper to lose
them than to pay taxes on them. This
is an unhealthy condition.
What is the remedy? Make your
idle lands productive by planting a
suitable crop on them. We have hun
dreds of thousands Of acres Of land

farming purposes that will grow tim

vote it to that purpose if they are
to be taxed annually on it's increase
in. value and years before the crop
can be harvested. A nominal tax
on land and yield tax on matured
timber will convert many barren
areas into productive lands.
Mr.. Lovejoy's slogan is an excel
lent one, "Put your idle lands to work
again." Michigan has made a start
in this direction by providing for a
tax on the value of the bare lands
and no tax on growing timber until
it becomes merchantable. Constitu-
tional Amendment No. 2, if adopted
N November, will permit Minnesota
20 follow Michigan's example and
put its idle lands to work again. With
he adoption of the amendment, fol-
owed by the enactment of proper
legislation, hundreds of thousands of
lcres of idle lands can be made pro-
luctive, eventually adding Millions of
dollars of wealth to the state Mr..
-ovejoy says Michigan was twenty
,ears late in putting it's idle lands to
work. Let us profit by Michigan's
mistake and put our idle lands to

NUTRITION PROJECT
TO BEGIN NOV. /;
WORK is PLANNED
REDWOOD co. WOMEN WILL
UNITE IN STUDY OF PROPER
FEEDING OF FAMILIES; OUT
LINE is GIVEN.

The nutrition project in Redwood
County is to begin the first week in
November. This gives assurance OF
very practical, interesting and valu
able project for all the women of the
county. 1t is the hope and effort Of
the county agent and the county home
chairman, Mrs. C. D. Clipfell, that
every township in Redwood County
and any or all of the women's clubs
in town will take part. Anyone In
terested is asked to. write the county
agent or Mrs. Clipfell.
The outline explaining the project
is given as follows:
To secure the maximus of joy out
of life, to give our best service, it is
the duty of each individual to main
tain themselves in vigorous healthy
condition. The nutrition project is
planned to show the homemaker and
her family their requirements and
how to best meet them. The whole
project deals with the needs of the
normal person.
First. The essentials of good nu-
triton: 1t brings out the vital fac
tors in our nutritional program that
no one can afford to deny themselves;
sunshine, fresh air, rest, good posture
and adequate food. The relative i'm
portance of each factor is considered.
The food elements necessary for body
building are discussed and their
sources illustrated by charts and pos
ters; e. g., foods highs in the vita
mines. A plan is presented for check
ing the food habits of the members.
Second. Child feeding: Because the
mothers diet influences the future
health of the child, the prenatal and
nursing diet are Of first considera-
ion. The infants schedule, the rea-
sons for their schedule, and the i'm
,ortance of establishing good food
habits at the start are emphasized.
The prenatal child's food needs are
ully considered.
Third. Food requirements at diff
erent ages: Attention is given to
1orking over the foundation program
established for the pre-school child,
ldjusting it. to the demands of
;rowth, activity and responsibility
which are constantly increasing for
lie school child and reach their
