      Abstract
      In the summer of 1937 a land economic survey was conducted in twelve rural municipalities and one local improvement district (1) in south central Saskatchewan. The purpose of this survey was, "to delimit and to give an economic appraisal of bodies of land homogenous in physical characteristics and potential capabilities." (2) It was an economic land classification of which the quarter section of land was the unit of appraisal. It is the purpose of this study to relate some of the problems of taxation to the various land classes delimited in this survey. An attempt will be made to present a practical application in the use of Land Classification in the solution of problems confronting taxation authorities.
