DISPOSITION OF SCHOOL FUND
Secretary Mari Furnishes information
to Legislature.


Guthrie. Okla, May lS.-Secretary
Mari Of the state school land board
has submitted his report to the legis-
lature in compliance with a request
from that body asking for a state
ment of what disposition has been
made Of the school fund of $4,000 900.
The report shows the following dis
position of the fund. Loaned to state,
account bond issue. 81 400, 900; ioaneu
TO counties according to bond issue,
s976,500; loaned on improved farms,
1923, ,235; deposited in banks, ST..

treasurer's hands, $3.50. Total si.500,.
OOO. Balance due from United States
treasurer, 100000. Total, s5,OOO,OOO.
The money deposited in banks is
distributed among l7O such institu.
tions in sums ranging from $4,000
down to 81 500. These funds are Sc
cured by the various classes OF Sc
curity authorized by law, the largest
number Of the banks putting up sure
~ bonds.
Up to date 2,693 applications have
been made for farm loans from tie
school fund and 495 OF these appli-
cations have been granted and the
loans made aggregate SG23,335. The
report shows that only about one
seventh OF the cash school fund has
been thus far loaned to farmers.
Nearly half Of the fund has been
placed in state and county bonds
where it cannot be available for use
in making farm loans The remainder
which is not already loaned is in
banks OF the state subject TO win
drawal at any time and may be used
for farm loans in the discretion OF
the school land board.
The report shows that Oklahcma's 5
heritage in school lands amounts 10
3,l00,S75 acres Placing the average
value at $40 an acre this land Is
worth $3l ,0oS,75O Adding TO this

has a permauut school fund of $50,

season comes again, our planters are
going to be compelled TO take just
any old seed they can get. Wouldn't
II be wise to reserve supply of the

all shipped out1 But. remember
the mills and gins will not save il for
you-they are selling to the man
who wants seed now, consequently,

there at 81 more on the ton than is

which is also worthy Of considera-
