LESS CORN, MORB LEGUMES Acreage of Corn to Be Reduced and Acreage of Legumes Increased The lMinoi8 Agricultural association executive committee and a special committee representing the state farm bureaus of Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas and Missouri have agreed on a resolution advising that the corn acreage in those states be reasonably reduced and that the acreage of clover, alfalfa, soy beans and other legumes to improve the soil be increased. This resolution comes as a sequel to like resolutions which have been passed by many county farm bureaus in the corn belt, as a result of the low market due to the piling up of two bumper crops. Land Tax Hearing Held The plea of the organized farmers of tile state for more equitable taxes on farm land was presented to the Illinois tax commission !ast week by the Illinois Agricultural association. The commission is now considering the evidence and will give its decision later. Last April t&e McHenry County Farm Bureau, as well as ninety other county farm bureaus of the state, cooperated with the I. A. A. in making a- survey to determine the trus cash value of land. The completed survey in practically every county showed that hundreds of farms were being taxed on their supposed value at the very peak of the high land price period and .that by this time their true cash value was from thirty to fifty per cent lower. It was also shown that there was no accurate basis for- t>he determination of land values A* taxation purposes and that lands were bearing more than their proportionate share of taxes. The surveys of the counties were taken by three representative men in each township, who placed a value on the land of their entire township. The three estimates for each township were averaged and then the values of the townships were averaged , to get the county estimate. A number of county farm bureaus presented individual evidence to the Illinois tax commission last week in addition to supporting the L A. A. exhibits. The McHenry County Farm Bureau appointed the following to represent McHenry county at the tax hearing On Dec. 14: | C. W. Gibba, Nunda township.- / J. R. Beard, Greenwood. "0 R. M.
