We have authorized the superintcn>
dent to pay The State treasurer s 10 900,
which will leave a balance to the credit
of the institution Of IS ,G33. 30.
The institution has suffered this
year along with the other farms of the
State in short cotton crops and low
prices. Rain during the summer
months cut the crop down and the ex-
ccsslvc rains during the fall made the
staple of poor grade. In mapping out
the crop for 1899 we are arranging to
reduce the cotton acreage about SO per
cent.
above extent we think we will be
able to carry out our policy of supply
Ing the institution with such produce
rs can be raised on farm, such as
corn, peas, oats, hay, syrup, barley,
flour and small truck. We have,
through committees, taken stock of
property, produce, ETC., Of the institu-
ton, statement Of which is included
i, III our rcpUr;.
We are pleased to report that the
institution is on Il firm and permanent
basis. BY referring TO the reports Of
tho last eight years you will find that
the institution has paid cut in cash for
the purchase OF real estate and equip
ping the same, rebuilding the hosiery
mill (Which was burned down in lS9l)
double the original size, together with
other permanent improvements such as
sewerage, fire protectors, barns, etc. :,
amounting to SlOS ,O49.3S. In this way
Tic profits uf Inc institution have been
absorbed. In the future we feel certain
that the institution will be able to turn
over 10 the State in cash nice sum
annually. We have furnished on the
other State institutions money. labor,
etc, amounting TO about $4,000.
