1931 Taxes Became
Due October First
More than 700000 were paid
Incounty and state taxes at the
collectors oftlce in the two 01
three days preceding October 15
the last day In which 1930 taxes
could be paid without the addition
of a penalty according to a
law passed late last winter At a
special session of the state legislature
recently a law was enacted
allowing 1930 taxes to run to
January 1932 without tho payment
of interest and penalty but the
attorney general gave as his opinion
that tho law was unconstitutional
and advised ponding a
ruling from the courts that collectors
should colloct tho interest
to October 15 and after that both
interest and penalty should be
collected If the court holds thai
tii law is valid the interest and
v laity should be refunded
According to estimates from
collectors office about 6G pel
e of the 1930 taxes wore paid
rjor to February 1 Since that
mo at least 17 per cent has been
collected leaving a balance o
some 17 per cent not collected
In former years about 87 tc
90 per cent have been collected
by the first of February so there
still remains 5 to 7 per cent of
the usual collections short of ordinary
years
1931 taxes are now due and if
50 percent of the county and state
taxes are paid before the last
day of November 1931 the other
50 per cent may remain unpaid
until June 30 1932 without
penalty or interest according to
the present law

Turkeys must have feed to produce
flesh fat and bones Grains
make fat but grains alone will
to produce the best finish they
must be supplemented by meat
scraps or by milk to produce flesh

At selling tlmo tho turkey rals
groups marking tho best birds
