hibitors were not confined to the stu

Der of farmers from the surrounding
section also participated in the event.
and the superiority of the products
submitted in competition showed the
beneficial results of the friendly com
petition which has grown up between
the institute farmers and those who
own and cultivate their own farms in
the vicinity, and which has resulted in
such decided improvement in farming
methods and in visible results accomp-
lished.
Addresses were delivered by Fred

Balance in Treasury.
The secretary asserts that the fl
nancial condition of the treasury is
so strong that even though no addi-
tional raising measures be put into
effect, there will be a balance in the
general fund on June 30, 1916, of
$32 ga, COS.

is a deficiency for the year and does
not represent the treasury as behind
that much, for it has not yet used up
what it commenced the year with.
Means of Raising Revenue.
Secretary McAdoo declares that a
bond issue is inadvisable, and says
that additional revenue may be raised
by maintaining the present war tax
and the sugar duty; by increasing
the income tax. and by greater care
in collections of taxes.
Increase of Income Tax.
Suggestions for additional revenue
are:
Increase the corporation and per
sonal income taxes by providing high
er rates; in the case of the personal
income tax, reducing the $4,000 ex-
emption for single and 81 900 for mar
ried persons.

had a successful year, he says, dem

tenn providing elastic credits.

In connection with the acquisition
