GETTING BOARDS TO
HELP IN TAX WORK
Send rn Copies of Proceedings of
Loard of Equalization Thus Afford
ing a Complete Check Up.
Although the state legislature,
when it had the new revenue bill
under consideration, was too busy
and hurried to accept a suggestion of
.State Tax Commissioner Osborne
t'l.st a provision be inserted requiring
court commissioners when sitting as
a ln.ard of equalization to send to the
state commissioner a copy of their
proctedings, Mr. Osborne is finding
the members very cordial in accept
ing his request to send it any way.
The purpose Mr. Osborne has in
mind is to check these up so as to
take note whether any irregularities
have crept in errors that in oast years
have required these boards to convene
again to undo something donj with
out authority. The boards are con
stantly changing in membership, and
the mtmbers do not possess an ac
quaintance with the taxation laws
that enables them to do their work
without error, in many cases. The
new pla, which is working out well,
i rabies Mr. Osborne to put his finger
on an irregularity, innocently made
and correct it before anybody can
take advantage of ti or some action
be necessary.
The letter sent out from the de
partment says:
"To the county clerk addressed:
In order that this department may
keep closely in touch with the taxing
authorities of the state relative to
the equalization of property between
individuals as well as between coun
ties, it will be necessary that we have
some information regarding the pro
cedure of county boards of equaliza
tion. "Therefore, we would request that
in writing up the proceedings of your
board of equalization, you will make
an extra carbon copy and mail to this
department. I do not think this will
cause you any more work and it will
aid us materially in making the pro
per equalization for the state.
"I hope that as soon as convenient
after the adjournment of your board
of equalization you will complete
your board of equalization you will
ccmplete your abstract and immedi
ately send to this department in or
der that we may complete the com
pilation of the several abstracts for
the state board of equalization.

Cora. Cost 49c to Produce
The 1920 corn crop cost an aver
age of 4 9 cents a bushel to produce
in one of the central counties of the
state, according to figures recently
published by the College of Agricul
ture. The average cost was figured
from records kept by members of the
county farm bureau. The figure is
considered conservative, as the work
was charged for at a comparatively
low rate and no allowance was made
for interest on investment. The yields
of the farms studied ranged from 35
to 50 bushels to the acre and the
cost per acre varied from $9.82 to
$21.70. The man whose corn cost
but $9.82 used hogs to harvest the
crop, thereby saving the cost of
husking and probably marketing his
corn to better advantage. The figures
not only shed light on the cost of
producing crops, but they contribute
interesting facts on farm manage
ment. The number of farmers hog
ging down their corn is increasing
every year and these figures streng-
