Where the Seed Money Was Sent.
After remaining in session for nearly a
week the >tate Relief commission, on the
I'd, finished its work of apportiOning among
the several counties of the state the 81 0,O0J
recently appropriated, and the results were
this afternoon reported to the senate. In
making the report Secretary Ludden says:
/ am directed by the commission to add
this Exhibit b. TO our weekly report. it
being the division of the $50 ,0U0 apprOpri-
ated to provide seeu and feed for the deStl-
tute farmers in this state in accordance
with house roll 525. As soon as We had COM
pleted the prof. ating, the commission COM
piled with section 2 and instructed the
president and secretary TO make the proper
reQuisition on the auditor in favor of the
several treasurers OF the counties entitled
to aid. We have complied with section )
and appointed county relief commissions in
the siXty-one counties. In pro-rating we
followed section Z, but in arriving at the
number of farmers in need the commission
was compelled to use tables prepared show
ing the actual number of farmers in the
seNeral counties; the number of acres i'm
proved and unimprOved land in each: the
actual number of farmers as shown by the
records of the several county clerks: as IL
further help we used the total vote castin
several counties in 1894, and also the school
census of 1894: the number of families re-
ported in need in the several counties by
their respective county relief commissions, |
in accordance with section II: and from the
reports made by member of he commission
as 2 result Of their visits TO the several
counties.
These several items in the respective
counties applying for aid were carefully
tabulated, and the commission believes a
Just and equitable conclusion as TO the num-
Der of farmers actually needing seed and
feed in said counties and unable to procure
the same was reached. The money was
then apportioned in accordance with the
findings of the commission, pro-rated ac-
cordnG to the number of farmers in need of
aid in their several counties. SubjOined
please find counties and amount of the
200. coo that they will receive.
