tute says. Reform in the tax laws to
draw more of the revenue from in-
come taxes and collect a smaller pro-
portion from the general property tax
is desirable, the Institute believes.
Owners of farm land bear an undue
share of the general tax, since a large
part of intangible property, such as
stocks and bonds, escapes taxation.
There is a tendency to change tax
laws so as to tax property on its pro-
ducing value. This would lighten the
burden on farmers at times when pric-
es are low and prevent high taxes
from forcing down the price of farm
land, the Institute declares.

terming farm land prices, some inter- i
esting facts are brought out in tins i
survey, based on government figures,
which show that the total value of the
capital Invested In agriculture has de-
clined from $79,459,000,000 In 19I9-20
to $59,788,000,000 in 1925-26. This oc-
cludes the value of rented farms own-
ed by people *ho were not farm ope-
rators and the capital represented by
the mortgages held on farm land. The
value of the capital owned by farm
operators invested in farming dimtn-,
ished from $47,065,000,000 to $32,793.-
000.000 in the seven year period. Both
of these Items increased in 1925-26
over the preceding year. The total
net Income declined from $5,030.''o0.-
UUO In 1919-20 to $375,000,000 tn 1920-
21, but Increased to $2,757,000,000 in
1925-26. The amount' available tor
operators’ capital and as reward for
management declined from $2.675,000,.
000 In 1919-20 to a deficit of $1,720,-
000,000 the following year, but Increas- -
ed to a net of $1,137,000,000 in 1925-
26.
In analyzing the situation further,
the Institute states that farm profits
will be increased by the pressure of
a growing population upon the land
supply. Eventually, this factor will
raise the rental value of farm land.
Statistics indicate that the United
States will have a population of 150,-
000,000 people by 1950 to 1955, com-|
pared with the present 118,000,000. To
feed these, it will require 403,000.000
acres in crops . This Is about 38,000,-
000 acres more than the area in crops,
in 1919 and calls for an average addi-'
Gon of more than a million acres a

Hominy Hiffh Takes
On Heavy Program
Preparations for what is believed to
be the heaviest toot ball schedule ever
arranged by the Hominy highschool is
rapidly getting under way with a full
squad of gridiron hopefuls reporting
daily to George Shorney, coach.
Shorney, who is entering his first

times faster than high-type road sur-

stone mav produce 20 times the wear
on tires caused by high-type surfaces.
The most economical road grade, ns a
general principle, said Professor Agg.
Is one that will allow n vehicle to as-
cend In high gear at the most efficient
engine speed and to descend without
the use of brakes and without attain-
ing excessive speed.
The best type of car road for heavy
traffic Is a concrete rood 12 Inches
thick that has about forty pounds of
steel reinforcement in each square and
with the slabs laid In lanes about ten
feet wide so articulated that more
lanes can be added if needed and with
expansion joints every 35 feet
On heavily traveled roads each foot
of distance saved will Justify an ex-
penditure of at least $<X>. and this
should be borne In mind when the
shortening of distance entails heavy

farm land values. Good tillage, well-
fed soils, the planting of crops to
feed the farm family and growing of '
a diversity of crops, especially le-
gumes, so as to furnish practically all
the protein requirements of- cattle,
hogs, horses, sheep and poultry on
the farm, are the factors that are
influencing the earning capacity of
the farm. Wherever this t’ pe of good
farming has been practiced, the drop
in land values has not been nearly as
severe as in sections where "chance
profit" types of farming are practiced,
the Institute has discovered.
The depression in the nineties
caused a drop in land values, statins
tics show, but they started upward
again and doubled from 1900 <o 1910.
This rise continued until 1915. The
war started a new situation by in-
creasing farm profits and resulting in
Inflation, which extended to lan-1 val
ues. The average acre price of land
and buildings shown by the 1920 cen-
sus was $69.38, or 86 percent mon
Then came deflation.

Better farming is stabilizing the
ral land values of the United States,
and within the next few years ,the
prices will begin to improve, accord-
ing to a comprehensive survey of the
trend of land values Just completed
by the Blue Valley Creamery Insti-
tute of Chicago. The statistics show

as a whole, the downward movemem.
which started in 1921, has been lets

three preceding years. This indicates
that a period of stability is at hand,
according to the Institute.

For a long time highway officials In-

Iowa State college and chairman of a
