The adjournment of the Legislature without making an appropriation for the maintenance of the law respecting the inspection of fertilizers leaves the State Department of Agriculture se- rIousIy handicapped and promises. to make the enforcement of the law prac- tically null, as 1t provides no means Tor the expense or salary of the eight inspectors heretofore supported by the department
 Two attempts were made during the legislative session to secure an appro- priatton for the department, one by special bill carrying S7L000 and the other by an amendment to the general appropriation bill, carrying approxi- mately $49,000. The former bill was slaughtered in the Senate, and the lat ter attempt to provide for the depart ment also met it's doom in the Senate, the amendment by the House being re- Jecttd
 Commissioner Page. desirous of en- forcing the inspection, asked Attorney General Moose for d ruling on the question of whether or not a specihc appropriation is required. The en- tOrcement of the law. so far as ex- peuses are concerned is provided for oy a tax on the fertilizer sold in the state. The proceeds of this tax are paid into the state treasury. under the act. and credited to the fertilizer fund since 1t Is collected strictly for the enforcement of the law Mir Page k of the opinion that d specific appro- priation bH the Legislature is not nec- essary. and that he can carry out the law and draw on the fund To meet eN- pcnseS Of enforcement by simply cer- tifying the expenses to the state au- ditor He has asked a ruling from the attorney general on this point
 During the last administration II was necessary to declare such def- ciency to the amount of $l0.S00 for the support of the department. ard this was accordingly paid hy the re. cent Legislature through appropria tlon from the fertilizer fund IL Is
 
 would be given similar treatment by the next Legislature
 During the past two years coHsid- erahle fund was accumulated fer the enforcement ot the law, the total fees from this source being about S40.00o When the Legislature convened In ad- djtion to paying the S10.Na0 deficit out of the fHnd Il borrowed $2a.a from the fund for it's own expenses. Ieav. ing the fund close to rock bottom It has since accumulated about Saaeo now on deposit in the state treasurs Without the enforcement of the law farmers throughout the state will be unable to secure proper protection from irresponsible concerns selling commercial fertilizer. thousands ef tons of which are sold annually throughout the state

APPROPRIATION
 BILLS ARE SIGNED
GOVERNOR TRIMS REGENT MEAS. URES PASSED BY LAST GEN
 ERAL ASSEMBLY.
ONE HALF MILLION IS CUT
it Is Said That the State Will Be Or a Cash Basis at the End of the
 Biennial Period.
Little Rock

Governor Hays gave hI- approval to the appropriation bills of the last Leg islature after vetoing outright the Je- ter bill carrying S45.O00 for the re moval of the boys reform school and establishment of boys and girls indus trial training schools, and after trim ming down the other appropriation bills until the total in yetoes and re auctions amounted to S595,03L. This leaves S2.490.032 standing out of the s3.0S6.6Sl appropriated by the last Legislature
 On this basis Governor Hays esti- mates that the state will be on cash basis at the end of this beicnnjal pc riod and that in the meantime no state institutions or departments will sustain serious hardship. He issued a lengthy statement in connection with the vetoes, explaining that he had teen forced to use the veto power freely through the failure of the Legis- lature to make provision to care for its appropriations He also believed that he will be subjected to biting criticism for his vetoeS in some sec tion&. the thinking people of the state will stand behind him in his action as the only thing left to do He states emphattcally that he will discourage any future deficiencies such as his administration had to meet in the sum of nearly S140,00O. and says his successor will rot inherit any such nest of financial troubles.
 flis yetoes effect particularly the state agricultural schools, S40.ooo being stricken from each under the item of salaries. Governor Hays says the institutions can use part of the item of $45, ,0o0 left to each for contiu- gent expenses in providing salaries and that they need not suffer in this regard
 The cuts also include Sl3T900 from the State Hospital for Nervous Dis eases, $42,972 from the general appro- priation bill. $37.000 from the state branch normal at Pine Bluff, $73,oo0 from the state university and smaller items from other institutions
