Recent Law Gives State
Clear Title to Lands
Attorney General Rules Real Es.
tate Sold for: Taxes Reverts
to Commonwealth.

Absolute title to lands it bids in
for delinquent taxes is acquired by
the state if not redeemed by the
owner within five years under the
1927 law relating to delinquent
tax sales, G. A. Youngquist, attor-
ney general, ruled in an opinion
recently.
When no private purchaser buys
the lands at a tax sale it is bid in
for the state. Heretofore the state
has held such lands merely as Sc
curity for the lien of the taxes and
has never acquired title. Under
the new law, however, the state
obtains title after five years in the
same way as private purchaser.
Under the new law lands that
are sold for delinquent taxes will
become the absolute property of
the purchaser five years after sale
and the purchaser need not give
to the owner or to anyone inter-
ested, notice of the expiration of
the time limit within which the
owner may redeem the land.
Under the old statute title could
not be acquired by the purchaser
until he had notified interested per-
sons that unless they redeemed
within fixed time their rights
would be lost.
Another innovation is that at
any time in the five year period
any person interested in the land
may apply to the court to have any
unpaid taxes thereon set side or
reduced. Under the old law such
relief could be had only before the
tax Judgment ON which the sale
was based was given. The time
for such relief now is extended.
Land to which the state acquires
tax title is held by it for the ben
eft of counties, cities, towns, vii
lagos and school districts that are
interested in the taxes standing
against the land. The land must
be classified for cash or on time.
The first of these sales will not
take place until 1888, for the state
will not acquire any tax titles be-
fore then.

Better Farm Help Supply :
Available in Minnesota
Increase Over Former Years Is
Noted in Survey by Farm
Bureau Department

j. S. Jones, Executive Secre-
tary of the Minnesota Farm Bur-
eau Federation, announced at st.
Paul this week that reports res
ceived from counties covering ev-
cry section of the state indicate
the supply of farm labor available
in Minnesota at this time is great
er than it has been for several
years, at the beginning of the sea-
son.
Every county from which in
formation has been received to
date" said Mr.. Jones, reports a
plentiful supply of farm labor.
Much of it, however, is not the
kind that makes the most satisfac-
tory farm hands.
Demand for farm labor is
shown by the reports in hand to he
weaker than in recent years. Many
county agricultural agents report
that Minnesota farmers are plant
ing this year to attempt to get
through the summer without hiring
help, if possible. Other reports
oldtC eiidt many 1dTuleTS uecldre
they will get along this year with
out extra help, regardless of crop
conditions.
Mr.. Jones stated that the open
ing of spring work on the farm
has not yet started, but it is only
a matter of a short time, depend
ent on the weather right now, until
farmers generally will go into the
fields.
Soil conditions generally, due to
plentiful SHOWS, are excellent and
give promise of a good year.
The results of this annual sur
vey conducted by the Farm Bur
eau indicate that the average wage
of men employed by the day on the
farm this year will be S1.94 per
day. General farm work on "a
monthly basis viii bring S41.05 :,
The average payment for general
work on an eight-lnonths basis
will be $42.2 90. These figures
were assembled in the period be-
tween March / and March 10 and
compose the latest and most ac-
curate data available in the state
on the farm labor situation.
