PAGE EIGHT NEVADA STATE JOURNAL, RENO, NEVADA 1 Saturday, August 20, 1932 Sheep Valuation Of $2.50 May Be Asked of State That a cut in the sheep valuation for the current year from $4 to no higher than $2.50, and in the stock cattle valuation from $25 to no higher than $20, may be requested at the annual session of the Nevada state board of equalization this fall by stock growers of the state was indicated fiere yesterday. At the session of the state board the valuation at which cattle and sheep will be placed on the tax rolls for 1933 will be fixed and in addi tion. the question may be brought up whether or not the valuations placed last fall for 1932 proved to be too high and therefore should be equalized downward, it is stated. A year ago the state board made a reduction of one-third in the sheep valuation, and placed sheep at $4 and cattle at $25 for 1932. According to the current issue of the Nevada Stockgrower, official publication of the 'Nevada Land and Livestock association, the position is taken that, owing to'conditions, a further reduction in the valuation should be considered this year.

"With Nevada's 1932 wool clip prices running as low as 7 and 8 cents per pound, and the first of the early range lambs making no better than 4 and cents, it is clear that 1932 market prices are going to be far below those anticipated when the sheep tax valuation was set last fall at $4 for this year," the publication declares. Continuing, it is stated: "With the present outlook, prices for Nevada cattle will be lower for 1932 than the 5 and cents per pound prices prevailing In 1921 and 1922, when the state board brought the stock cattle tax valuation down to the $20 basis. "It appears, therefore, that the Nevada livestock interests have'legi- timate reason for asking the state board of equalization at its session this fall to "equalize downward" for the current year the valuations on both sheep and cattle set in the fall of 1931 to apply this year. "As to just what the market pries situation will finally justify in the way of reduction is too early to say with accuracy, since the cattle sell- season in Nevada is still to come. But it appears certain that conditions will at least justify an immediate cut in the sheep valuation for the current year from $1 to no higher than $2.50, and on stock cattle, from $25 to no higher than $20.

Boulder Employment Is on the Up-grade "The first crop of alfalfa is all in the stack now, and haying on the Humboldt river is in full swing, with a big crop and plenty of men as a general rule," E. R. Marvel, president of the Nevada Land and Livestock association, writes from Battle Mountain. In a report of general conditions, which is believed to be typical of most Nevada regions, he states: "Ranges are still in very good shape, with lower elevations drying, but higher places with large areas of fine green feed. There is plenty of water for this month, and perhaps for the greater part of next.

There is such a contrast this year, compared with last, we can hardly recognize the country. "There is no movement of lambs, but there are some inquiries, and it begins to look like a better market than last year. The quality will be. much better, with a large percentage of fats and few feeders. On the other hand, there is a big shortage in numbers and, in my opinion, those who want Nevada lambs had better get busy.

"It is surprising in riding this country this year to note the few numbers of cattle. Do not know how it compares with last year, but there is a big difference. Lots of cattle had to be sent out of the country last winter, due to lack of feed, that apparently did noi, return. No steers have been sold yet, and they are bound to be first class in quality." WM.
