Each OF the IL district agricultural
schools OF the state was yesterday af-
ternoon paid 81. 900 out Of the treasury on
warrants drawn in their favor by Gov
ernor Brown several days ago. The
money came from the special fertilizer
tag tax. 1900 of which was turned into
the treasury recently by Agricultural
Commissioner Hudson. So
The payment OF $1,000 to each of the
schools does not begin to cancel the
states obligations to these institutions.
The governor has paid none OF the SO 600
special appropriation due them and win
not be able to do so until the taxes be-
sin, to come in.
