Marketing Activities. The coun-
ty agent is definitely charged by
the legislative act creating the
work, with giving information and
assistance with marketing as well
as with production. Much time
has been spent by the agent in
getting farmers through protein
tests to know their wheat before
selling so as to obtain the greatest
advantage of its quality. Outlook
information has been given out.
Turkey growers have been brought
together for amrketing and have
been given assistance through de-
monstrations in killing and pre-
pairing uniform shipments.
County Agent and SurDluses
= The folly of any measures that
may increase production at time
when surplus production is caus-
ing low prices is sometimes point
ed out. 1t seems inconsistent to
campaign for reduced acreages and
| at the same time advocate increas-
led yields. If every farmer in the
United States could be" made to
reduce his acreage 20% we would
in average wears, which we never
exactly have, be on a domestic bas-
is and the tariff would be opera
| tive. We would lose entirely oul
foreign market but the price would
be quite bit higher. That is the
theory, but in practice acreage re-
duction will be brought about, not
through campaigning, but thru ne
cessity in areas that have little
alternative but to produce wheat
In the midwest farmers can turr
to other crops to some extent, but
in areas primarily. adapted to
wheat the. reduction is only going
to- come on marginal lands, OF
small farms, and on farms where
yields are low and costs are 81
high that wheat raising means
, bankruptcy. In other words, il
will be largely survival of tht
fittest. ~I If Sheridan county farm
ers are, to continue to grow wheat
and meet this intense competition
they must continue to adopt every
possible means to lower theil
costs per bushel. If the county
agents efforts to increase yields
per acre through the production Of
pure seed are to be dispensed with
because they contribute to the
surplus. then farmers should not
treat their seed for smut, poison
squirrels, or kill weeds for in do.

COMMISSIONERS f..
PROCEEDINGS
County Board Meets With Repre-
sentatives of Sheridan County
Taxpayers AssOciatiOn-Talk of
Many Things: Decide Not to
Vote on County Agent.

At 1000 o'clock A. M, Septem-
ber 9th, 1880, the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners met in Special
Session for the purpose of meet
ing with the Sheridan County Tax
payers Association and other in
terested parties, all members of
the Board and the Clerk present.
About twenty people were pres
ent at this meeting, and all were
given an opportunity to express
themselves on any subject in which
they might be interested, and sew
eral different subjects were dis
cuSSed.
A representative from the Tax
payers Association discussed the
possibility of having the voters of
the county vote on the proposition
of whether or not the County Ag-
ent's office should be discontinued.
After lengthy discussion, and
after the County Agents work was
explained to those present, it was
decided that the County Agents
office be continued as at present.
The matter of road work was
also discussed and the Board told
those present, that practically ITO
new work had been done this year,
and that no new work was plan
ned. The matter of maintaining
and building roads was generally
discussed.
Several other subjects of a gen.
eral nature and pertaining to
county affairs, were also present.
ed and discussed. References were
made to and official records of
the county were presented and ex-
plained to those present. The
Representative from the Taxpayers
Association explained that the AS
sociation he represented was very
much interested in having the ex-
penses of the county kept as low
as it was possible, and the Board
explained that it was in harmony
with such program, and showed
from official records of the coun-
ty, that the expenses of the county
for the last couple of years had
been materially reduced, and that
further reduction would be made
whenever possible.
The Board also extended an in
vitation to those present TO attend
all meetings of the Board in the
future.
On motion, Commissioner Iver-
son was granted a Leave of Alb.
sence from the State for period
of one week, beginning Sept. 28tb
1880.
At 1870 o'clock P. NJ, the Board
adjourned.

In a letter TO the press, Edgar
Syverud reports that the Taxpay-
ers' Association, no doubt after
studying and duly considering Ref
erendum Measures No. 3S and "a,
has declared against those meas
ures as unjust.
The argument presented, why the
measures should be defeated, are
arguments pertinent as to why
the county should dispense with
the services of a county agent
every little bit put together makes
a lot, and the taxpayers backs are
breaking under the burdens they
are now trying to bear.
The letter follows:
Dagmar, Mont.
te4.}afA r s Oct. z, 1880.
Gentlemen; eysg -,
Relative to Measures 33 and "a
may | in the interests of the tax
payers express disapproval, es-
pecially as it being a direct pro-
perty tax.
Figures have been published
based on the 1929 valuations in
Sheridan County that these meas
ures would increase our per capita
tax only $b11,, This is in addition
to what. we already are paying
similar 7ailodnt. g
Since the "per capita" seems tC
be such favorite way of figuring
Ito make it look easy-this am
cunt does seem small and signifi-
cant. But, do the "per capita" al
pay taxes? Of the 1882 popula'
tion of this county it is estimated
that only about 1000 really pay
taxes. That does not look so easy
The total amount for the coun,
ty increase would be $i0,935.00
That's the increase, in addition tc
a similar amount we are already
paying for these purposes.

mill levy on the $6,43O,OOO.0O the
County's Taxable Valuation will
make a tax of $19,29O.OO besides
the levy to take care of the bonds
and interest each year. Can we
stand this?
Why should we vote for more
taxes now when we are trying to
reduce the already too-heavy tax
burdens This item is somewhat
larger than those so many of us
are discussing such as the county
agent, library, roads and county
offices, that it seems worthy of
serious consideration
AS to the necessity of these pro-
posals we will not argue nor ques-
ton, nor will we be carried away
by sentimental appeals in behalf
Of education and the unfortunates.
Our capacity to pay must be con-
sidered. @&~
1t has been stated that there
would be danger in voting down
these measures, but it seems that
the Legislature can most always
be depended on to supply some
lmeans of financing. Various way:
have been suggested, such as {
State Income Tax, a Luxury anC
