The U. S. average dropped 24 . per cent in the same period. This fact, based upon studies of the Agricultural Research Service of the United States De partment of Agriculture, was pointed out today by Charles Marshall, President, Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation. The USDA study makes com parisons on the basis of tax pay ments per $100 of valuation of farm land in 1930 and 1954. The study shows the following com parisons between Nebraska and its neighbor states: Change from 1930 to 1954; Nebraska, plus 30 per cent; South Dakota, down 11; North Dakota, down 27; Kansas, down 8; Oklahoma, down 56; Minnesota, plus 4; Iowa, plus 3V2; Missouri, down 13: U. S. Average, down 24. The organization leader point ed out that no neighboring state approached the 30 per cent increase shown by Nebraska be tween 1930 and 1954; and that the U. S. average in land tax payments declined 24 per cent per valuation in the same period. Marshal said that comparison based on $100 of valuation gives the fairest picture of relative tax payments among the states. The value of land may vary from state- to state and of $100 valuation is a common denominator which can be used to accurately compare land tax ation payments and. trends among states. As an example, the farm lead er said New Jersey and Nebras ka are often linked in discus sions of taxation as having first and second places, respectively, in having the lowest per capita taxes in the nation. The USDA research service study shows a different picture, however, when the correct common denomina tor is used.

New Jersey farm owners paid $1.67 per $100 of valuation in 1930 and $1.55 in 1954. On the other hand, Nebraska farm own ers pay 30 per cent more per $100 of land value in 1954 than in 1930. New Jersey is distinguished from Nebraska in another way, Marshall concluded. According to the study of the Kansas Legislative Council, made in 1954, New Jersey has not made a general fund pro perty levy for state government since 1870; and in 1946 elimin ated all special state levies on property.

In 1954 a law was passed that ACP assistance could be offer ed to any farmer who did not comply with all acreage allot ments on his farm, but effec tive with the 1955 crop year there are no allotment restrict ions tie to ACP. This puts any farmer in Cass County, regard less of whether or not they over planted their wheat or corn al lotment, in a position to under t a k e conservation measures with the aid of ACP who were previously ineligible for this help. The Agricultural Conserva tion Program shares with farm ers the cost of many conserva tion practices that are consider ed in the interest of the Nation as a whole, but Mr. Althouse says that at this time we are particularly interested in those conservation practices which win prevent or at least alleviate tne serious arosion problems which always occur after an ex tended drought, such a we have experienced this summer. . Air. Althouse says that any farmer who needs assistance to help with conservation practic ; eg of this nature, should inuned , lately get in touch with the ash office at Weeping Water either by telephone or by personal visit. .
