Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-06-15
New Dat Variety
For Wyoming

A NEW DAT variety, named Cody,
combining high yield, short straw,
and resistance to disease has been
released by the Wyoming expert
ment station in cooperation with the
U. S. department of agriculture.
The new oat is the result of cross
ing Bannock with a Victoria Rich
land cross, according to Dale w. Boh-
mont, assistant in agronomy at the
University of Wyoming. The Swear
average of Cody was 88 bushels per
acre (irrigated) compared with Ban
mock, averaging BIZ bushels, and
Markton, yielding 77.2 bushels. The
new variety is recommended for both
irrigated and dryland farming con-
ditions but is especially adapted to
irrigated areas of high fertility.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-06-15

land should be graded on its ability
to produce. Work was started by
placing valuations on each piece of
land according to its production.
This was soon abandoned because
the Job of classification and the job
of valuations were found 10 be two
entirely separate jobs.
The work was made much easier
in 1880 when a soils survey was COM
pleted for Teton county. The agron-
omy and soils department of Mon
tana State college in cooperation
with the u. S. bureau of soils made
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-06-15
lowing year.

The improvement from 1882 to
1885 can be largely credited to the
improvement in the land classified
ton, since farm incomes were low
during this period. Drouth and low
prices combined to reduce the pay
ments in 1886. The recovery in 1941
and 1912 reflected definite increase
in both price and production.
Teton county tax foreclosures were
reduced sharply by the re-classifica-
ton. In some counties where no
changes were made in the classified
ton large areas were taken over by
the county. One county treasurer re-
ported to the county commissioners
that over 100000 acres of privately
owned land had been taken by tax
deed between 1880 and 1912 in that
county. That is, over one-third of
all of the private land of the county
was taken away from the owners by
tax foreclosure. Another county took
over so percent of all of the taxable
land. Many counties took tax title
on from 10 to 80 percent of the tax
able land in the county.
Ability to Produce
Teton county's success resulted
from classifying each piece of land in
line with its ability to produce. The
result was that the owners of the
grazing land and the poor farm land
could pay the taxes each year, rather
let them go delinquent.
With each grade of land paying
more nearly fair share, of the tax,
very little land was taken for tax
deed in Teton county. Farm families
were not forced to lose their land
because of improper classification.
The remaining land was not forced
to pay increasing taxes due to the
loss of tax revenue from the land
taken by tax deed.

4. All irrigated land was. placed
in one grade.
S. All of the land classed as nom
irrigated agricultural land was
placed in four classes:
Plow land
Good plow land
Rolling plow land
Good rolling plow land
All land which was level enough
TO get machinery over was put in
one of these farm land classes.
There was no land classed below
Good" in this classification.
Much of the land which was
placed in the farm land classified
ton was not farmed then and has

MONTANA

never been pIowed up 70 the pres
emit time. This was especially true
in the ranch country in western Te-
ton county.
6. All of the range land was
classed in three classes. There were
generally referred 10 as:
Good grazing land
Grazing land
Poor grazing land
7. The classification was done
hurriedly by inexperienced people.
The inspection they made of much
of the area was not thorough.
8. Local people were not con-
suited. AS a result. their expert
ences operating the land. from as
early as 1866 up to 1920. were not
used in grading the land.
By 1928 about 18 percent of the
land in Teton county which had been
classified as agricultural land'' was
tax delinquent. By 1888 Al percent
of the agricultural land was tax de-
inquent. The county officials and
farm people were asking the ques-
ton, 'What is wrong with our clas-
sification?"
In 1928, Bob Clarkson, who was
county agent in Teton county for
many years was called in. Meetings
were held in the county. The county
commissioners and the assessor met
with farm groups called together by
C1arkson to discuss the tax prob
lens. From those meetings, the in
terest in re-classification began to
develop.
The county commissioners decided
to re-classify all of Teton county as
a result of these community meet
ings. The county assessor and the
county surveyor were the leaders in
this work. At that time, Otto Wag-
mild was the Teton county assessor.
Mr.. Wagnild is now field man for
the state board of equalization. Mr..
Obert Peterson, of Choteau was the
surveyor.
The people decided that all of the

This is the first of two articles

This is the first of two articles
to appear in Montana Farmer
Stockman on the important mat
ter of land Redistribution for
taxation. The present classified
ton under which most Montana
counties have been operating
was made from 1918 to 1923 and
is rarely correct. The first of
these articles. which appears on
this page. deals with Teton coun-
tY where the re-cIassification
program has just started. The
second article. to appear in the
July issue will give a general
review of the re-classification
program over the entire state.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-06-15

were set up by the boards of county
commissioners in about " of Mon
tana's counties in 1948 and 1949.
Many of these budgets were estab-
ished to bring the classification of
land for tax purposes up to date in
the counties. Several of the counties
are also re-classifying the buildings
on the farm and in the cities and
towns.
The last general classification of
agricultural lands of Montana was
made between 1919 and 1923 under
the classification law of 1919. This
classification is still in effect in most
counties of the state, even though
it has been known for many years
that the classification was not cor
rect.
The state association of county
commissioners and state association
of county assessors have discussed
this pressing problem in each of their
annual meetings in recent years. The
general opinion among these officials
is that a general program of re-clas-
sification is long over due. The gen.
era1 farm organizations of Montana
and number of state producer or
CARNATIONS are studying the pro-
gram. County agricultural planning
committees in a number of counties
have recommended that the work be
started.
The accompanying map shows the
counties where the county commits
sioners set up Redistribution budg
cts in either 1948 or 1949.
Teton county was the first county
in Montana to undertake a program
of land re-classification. Because the
re-cIassification in Teton county is
successful, their work is reviewed
here. This review may be of interest
to the people in other counties where
Reconsideration is under way or is
being considered.

head counties.
Teton County
Teton county, Montana, along with
other Montana counties classified
their lands under the classification
law passed by the 1919 legislature.
This law required each county to
complete its classification by 1928.
AS soon as the 1920 classification
was put on the books in Teton county
the commissioners and the assessors
recognized that the classification was
not correct. Many farmers filed APP
peals to the commissioners when
they met as a board of equalization
Study showed the following errors
were apparently made in the 1923
classification in Teton county:
/. The classification was based
largely on topography.
2. The quality of the soil. the
use of the land. and yield per acre
was given little or no considera-
ton.
.. The two engineers doing the
work. classified each $40 acres, or
section of land. on separate card.
They did NOT compare the CLASH
fication of one section with that of
any other section of land in the
county. This resulted in a lack of
uniformity in their work.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-06-15

the survey. The surveys was origi-
nally made to determine the areas
suitable for farming, to determine
the crops adapted to the various soils,
and for general farm management
work.
1t was found that the soils map
was also valuable in showing the
productivity of the agricultural lands
of the county. This map proved
without doubt that many areas of
land were classified as farm land
which should never be farmed. 1t
also showed where there were other
limited areas which were in grass
which were suitable for farming.
With the soil survey as a guide,
the classification moved ahead. The
classification made on productivity
basis as shown from the soils maps.
1t was then reviewed with the farm
operators and other interested people,
as double check. Where the old
classification was absolutely wrong,
the county commissioners made the
changes as rapidly as possible after
1890
Mileage Zones Cut
BY 1885 they were able to make
some major countrywide revisions.
The mileage zones were cut out, be-
cause improved roads and better cars
and trucks had eliminated much of
the need for these zones. During
the period from 1880 to 1885 the
old grades of land were replaced by
new ones. More grades were set up
for irrigated land, dry farm land and
grazing land. This permitted the
commissioners to place all of the land
in the county more nearly in its
proper class depending on the ability
of the land to produce.
Tax delinquency dropped as the
new classification went into effect.
