Statewide grain crop could total eight million this year
Estimates from A M Bergere of the field force of the state tax commission in the Santa Fe New Mexican indicate the grain total for the state may reach eight million dollars this year. An increase in total valuations of fully five million on all lands of property is predicted, with Santa Fe county adding up to three fourths of a million and Taos and Rio Arriba each rising toward a million plus. Gains may be offset by stock losses from drought, especially in the southwest, as the tax commission plans to open a session next Monday the 15th to correct unequal assessments. San Juan county leads in submitting a complete year assessment roll.
