Many residents have <br /> <br />moved away from the area, selling their property for whatever <br /> <br />they could get or simply abandoning it. Most of the sales <br /> <br />since 1935 have been to satisfy tax delinquencies or mortgages. <br /> <br />The following tabulation summarizes land values as esti- <br /> <br />mated by resident farmers and as assessed for taxation. <br /> <br />Kind <br /> <br />Farmers Estimates <br /> <br />*Assessed Valuation <br /> <br />Imprcved tillable <br />(irrig.) <br />Unimproved tillable <br />Improved meadow <br />Unimproved " <br />Grazing <br />Dry farmed <br /> <br />$12.50 to ~50.00 ~22.00 <br />3.00 to 10.00 2.00 <br />25.00 tc 50.00 <br />3.00 to 8,00 <br />- - - l.50 <br />- - - 8.00 <br /> <br />* Estimated by Assessor at about 70~ actual value. <br /> <br />22 <br />
