JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 5-The

18,479 cars of oranges. There were
about 100000 boxes of grape fruit
and tangerines and 100000 boxes of
oranges, totaling about 100000 of
citrus fruit. The Packers estimate
of crop at the beginning of the season
was 100000 boxes.
The total movement of vegetables,
Strawberries, cantaloupes and melons

rus fruit 26,433 cars, making 43,S57
cars of fruit and vegetables which
were shipped from the state CON-
pared to $4,000 cars shipped the pre-
vious season.

ten MILLION
BIG SUM TURNED OVER FOR Ed
UCATIONAL PURPOSES SINCE
BEGINNING OF STATEHOOD.

Pierre, Oct. 6.-Ten and a half
million dollars has been turned over
by the state to the maintenance
funds for common schools and other
educational institutions of the state
since the beginning of statehood in
1890. or this over nine and q half
million dollars has been applied to
the maintenance of common schools,
and something less than a million
dollars to the higher educational in
stitutions of the state. This fund
starting at a few thousand dollars
for the first few years has grown un-
til Ii has reached a million dollars a
year for several years and is increas-
ing to where the common school
maintenance will itself be over a mil
lion a year soon with the fund for
other educational and endowed insti-
buttons, being in addition to that
sum-. The management of the state
lands, and the funds secured from
them has been a careful one since
the beginning of statehood with very
few exceptions, one case in the early
history of the state requiring the
state to make good about 500 600,
where different management would
have made the fund whole without
this drawing upon the general funds
of the state.
In comparison with other north
western states, South Dakota has a
showing which stands far in advance
in the amounts which have been
turned over by the state for educa-
tional maintenance funds.
