APpRopRIATas FOR the DRY FARM.
County Court Most Literally Provides
Por Experiment Station.

sioner T.. p. Sylvester as the ne
members and Geo. A, Smyth Q
the holdover Commissioner
Judge VIM. Miller is acting q
county attorney.
The court has a great mass c
business to transact ut this teri
and will not complete their wor
until next week.
So far the most important orde
made was the appropriation 70
the proposed experiment farm
The court took a very liberia
view of this important matte
and its action receives the com
mendation of the people. TIL,
appropriation of $15,000.00 TO
this purpose is a step toward de
velopment and shows the pro
gressive spirit of the new court
1t is not extravaganza in any
respect, for il will not likely re-
quire the full amount and if il
does the money is we'll invested
as the land, equipment and what
ever improvements are made be-
long to the county.
OF course this appropriation is
conditional, but was necessary at
this time as it is necessary for
the county in which the expert
ment farm is located to furnish
the land and necessary equip
ment. The action of the court
is a strong card toward securing
the farm for this county.
The order of the court after
citing the conditions governing
the establishment of the farm
says:
And it further appearing
that the amount necessary for
such equipment is at this time
unknown and the court appre-
ciates the necessity and great adj
vantage to the county and the
taxpayers generally this farm
will mean. and being importuned
by large number of the heav-
lest taxpayers in the county
thereto.
1T is therefor ordered and
there is hereby appropriated out
of the general funds of this coun-
ty to be used in the purchase of
equipment for an experiment
farm to be located in this county
the sum of SIS, 900. 90 or so much
thereof as is absolutely necessary
to purchase such equipment as
the proper authorities deem neces-
sary for such experiment farm"
