1 Sources of data: Column 2, by field estimates based on surveys and information from owners; columns 
3, 4, and 7, from assessment rolls of 1926—selection of predominantly forest descriptions by field examina- 
tion; columns 5 and 8, by computation; column 6, computed by multiplying the areas in column 2 by the 
corresponding ‘‘full-and-true”’ values per acre in column 5 and dividing the product by 3, since the Minne- 
sota law requires that the assessed value of this kind of real estate be one-third of the ‘‘full-and-true”’ value. 
2 May include some open swamp land. 
3 Includes a negligible amount of other elements which is obscured in the process of rounding. 
WISCONSIN 
Table 73 shows the importance of forests in the tax base of the 
selected towns in Wisconsin. ‘The ratios of forests to the total tax 
base range from 23 percent in Three Lakes to 86 percent in Little Rice, 
both Oneida County towns. The distribution of towns in ratio groups 
is as follows:

The ratios of forests to rural real estate range from 28 percent in 
Three Lakes to 89 percent in Little Rice. The distribution of towns
