Washington March 31 There seems to be little hope for improvement in the farm tax situation. In 1913 farmer paid 68 cents per $100 of land value rising to 1.22 in 1924 and 1.43 in 1928. Agricultural economist Whitney Coombs says taxes take about 30 percent of net rent on farm real estate with wide state variation. Direct taxes now exceed 900 million annually, about 84 percent via general property tax. Coombs expects local tax growth to slow but foresakes any general farm tax reductions.
