FARM REAL ESTATE TAXES
SHOW RISE

A small rise in farm real estate
taxes in 1896 was reported today by
the Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
les, on the basis of preliminary sur
vey by State tax officials and tax stu
dents In 38 states. The Bureau
pointed out that replies to similar
inquiry in 1885 agreed very closely
with the final returns for the year.
A rise of one point in the index for
1886 marked the end of the decline
in the trend in farm taxes which had
continued since 1929. Farm real es-
tate taxes in 1885, reported by the
Bureau at 81 cents per acre as an
average for the country. averaged the
same as in 1934-the lowest level
since 1918. The highest figure ON
record was So cents an acre in 1929.
The Bureau reported that taxes
averaged $1.14 per 500 Of farm
real estate value in 1885, compared
with $3.50 (the peak) in 1882, and
with $1.19 In 1929. In 1913, taxes
were So cents per 500 Of value.
The Bureau reported decreases in
farm real estate taxes in all states
during the period following 1929.
The average for the country contin-
ued to decline through 1894, but in
that year there were increases in IL
states. Figures now available for
AZ states show that in 1895 taxes in
creased in 20 states, declined in II,
and were unchanged in . states.

URGES FARM woODLOT PLANT.
ING


While farm woodland planting Is
progressing at rapid rate under the
fine cooperation of the states, farm
ers, and federal extension service, 1t
has still some distance to go to meet
fully the need of erosion control and
wood production.
This view is expressed by Lyle F.
Watts, regional forester of the North
Central Region of the U. S. Forest
Service, in speaking of the results
achieved.
Previous to 1895 some 312,613
acres were planted to trees by farm
ers in this region of nine states. In
1895, 5,692 farmers cooperated in
planting 1862 acres more. More
than half of this planting was done in
Ohio. These figures do not include
additional extensive planting Of for
est trees on farms in cooperation
with the Soil Conservation Service.
Watts calls attention to the idle
land SO common in the more rugged
or rocky parts of the region, and not
uncommon even in the finest farming
areas. There still are countless bad
ly eroded spots which could be pro-
tected by brush or trees, and many
non-agricultural areas could we'll be
put to work raising trees. Buildings
and crops could thereby be protected
from the wind and tests show that
heating requirements in house I'M
protected by trees are tripled when
cold winds reach velocity of 20
miles per hour.
Landowners are losing money when
lands are but partly productive. For
example, on the wooded pasture.
There tree growth is poor and the
number of trees small because ami
mails trample on and eat parts of the
young trees. The growing point of
trees, unlike grass, is exposed and
easily destroyed. At the same time
the trees prevent the best growth of
grass by cutting off light and COM
peting for water.
If about half the area were hand
led as pasture with but few scatter
ed trees for shade, and the balance
fenced off for tree production, a
greater profit would often result.
In some states the part managed as
woodland would be exempt from tax
alton, as in Wisconsin; or assessed
much lower than other land, as in
Indiana. woodlands will pay If
handled properly. The first step is
to get full stand of valuable tree
species started. This may mean par
TALLY or completely planting the
area.
