In 1891 this was increased to S1.706. SOP.

and secured, the figure being s.. OPS, 50.
This was again increased in 1899 to S.
233.061. In the next year, 1894, the
high water mark of agricultural appro-
priations was reached, the figure being
So. 1928, 500. In 1895 this was reduced to
1926 15. In 1896 this was slightly in
creased, the total being $500, 75C. This
