The ratio of this county for 1928 is close to the average for farm properties in the state in 1929. On the other hand, the ratios for the earlier years were unquestionably much higher than the average for farm properties in the state. Another form of variation in farm assessments involves differences in several sections of the same county. The data for Boone County shown in Table 74 indicate the nature of this type of variation. In this instance the variations were found to be relatively small, the minimum being 649, for township 45, and the maximum, 75%, for township 51. Table 75 shows the rural transfers in Boone County for the years 1923 through 1928 with the data grouped according to the acreage of the farms.
