TAX DELINQUENT LAND
OFFERS ACUTE PROBLEM

(This Is the second of a series of
articles on the tentative recommen-
dations of the Legislative Interim
Conservation Commission, which is
instructed to report back to the
1889 session of the legislature.)
The instructions of the legisla-
ture to the Interim Commission di-
rected it to study not only Forestry,
but also the problem Of tax delin-
quent land. In the region of heavy
delinquency, the major reason for
delinquency is that the timber was
cut off the land, and it was not sub
sequently developed for any other
productive use.
Heavy public debts, plus high
costs of public services for scatter
ed settlers and very small commun-
tiles further aggravates the situa-
ton by making taxes in such areas
unusually high. Therefore, lands
are allowed to go tax delinquent not
only because they have been aban-
doned, but also farms and homes GO
delinquent because those who re-
main must carry the entire burden
Obviously, the first problem Is
some adjustment of the tax situa-
ton to enable the farmers and
home owners to return their places
without paying the excessive taxes
that are necessary to carry the bur-
den Of the entire area. In many
cases it appears that this cannot be
done without state or federal aid
in taking over or helping to pay
part of the heavy indebtedness and
heavy current cost of local public
services.
The other phase of the problem
is that of the abandoned lands
which are not needed or not suited
for farming and which logically
should be developed as forests to
provide new resources and support
new industry that will help the peo-
pie Of the region to make a better
living and the region to get back
on it's feet where it will no longer
be burden on the rest of the state
and the nation.
If this is to be done the bandoned
land must be brought under stable
ownership and subjected to positive
programs of development and man.
agement that will bring the forests
back and that will make them con-
tribute in the fullest degree to the

The commissions specific recon-

pend in some degree on whether or
not the state Supreme Court over
rules or upholds the recent decision
Of Judge Thwing Of Grand Rapids
in declaring the states title invalid
on lands where personal notice of

was not served on the former own

The fair will open Saturday August &C. and will close
on Labor Day. September 4th. This will not inter-

for many to attend who otherwise have been unable
to do so.
This new policy of the state fair management

Marijuana Eradication

Recently in marijuana raid of the dope

weed near Mankato. greater eradication program

Robert Swift Post, American Legion, through it's
program in this community has destroyed little
over three ton of the marijuana weed this year.
Eight plots in the city cut and destroyed and
the largest plot of one-fourth of an acre on
nearby farm.
This weed, says government bulletin is par
tcularly spread through canary seed which is made
from imported hemp seed. People who have birds
throw what is left in the bottom of the container
iout and another plot of marijuana is formed.
New canary seed, which will be placed the
market soon, is treated and sterzed so it will not
grow, said w. d. Gallup, past commander of Robert
Swift Post. However, that in use now has not been
so treated. People who have canaries and who use
this seed should exercise great in disposing of
that which is left Authorities advise that contain
ers and seed usually left be burned.
This program of eradication is which should
receive the cooperation of all. Destruction of this
weed will be the means of preventing the destruction
of many young lives.

BY WALTER McCALLUM.


Before another month Is up the pro
golfers will be on their way South,
heading for the big-money Journeys
in Florida and California, not to come
back until early April.
Three local pros will be among the
travellers again this year. Witty Cox
of Congressional, Bob Barnett Of Chevy
Chase and Leo Walper. driving range
pro, all will turn their noses South
next month. Cox will head for Miami,
stopping of en- route to play at Pine
hurst and in the $4,000 Augusta Open
Tourney. He will probably spend the
winter around Miami, although he
hasn't yet made up his mind about
taking the Pacific Coast trip for the
big-money affairs in California Wall
per also will start South in mid
November, with Pinehurst's Mid-South
per also may play the Western tourney
circuit.
Barnett, who holds down the pro
berth at the swanky Indian Creek
Club Of Miami Beach, will leave around
Thanksgiving Day for his winters Job,
to stay there until early April.
Some of the local pros may take in
the $4,000 White Sulphur Springs
(W Va) Open, slated for November
$40 at Sammy Snead's course, in the
hope of picking up some of the con-
ISOLATION money. If you can judge from
the way Sammy himself has been
winning tournaments this year. the
boys will be playing for second dough.
Sam has set new winning
record with earnings of more than
$1,000, and over his own course he
will be a prohibitive favorite to win
again.
The pros haven't yet heard about
the $4,000 Biltmore Tourney, which
usually opens the early-winter season
around Miami. The Biltmore has
changed hands, and no announcement
has been made regarding the tourney.
But the Hollywood affair will be played
in mid-December for $4,000, and Nas-
sau will string along with another
$4,000 event, to be followed by the
Miami Open early in January. And
undoubtedly the Biltmore Tourney will
come along. All the local pros who
go South will play in these affairs.
