State Unable To Collect Until
Test Case Is Settled.

Though there was an actual over
draft OF nearly $500, 900 in the state
fund, general revenue, and a bal
ance of less than 100000 in the
Virginia Debt sinking fund, a grand
total balance of s15,180,670.91, the
largest ever shown, was the condi-
ton of the state treasury at the
close OF business Jan. 81, according
to the monthly report Of w. s.
Johnson, state treasurer, made pub
lie today
The grand total balance was prac-
tically equally divided between
cash and invested funds, but So
41,So2,45 of the 7,525,770.91 cash
was shown to be in the state fund
which is made up of moneys be-
longing to counties, districts and
municipalities. and which will be
distributed to them at once.
To overcome an actual deficit of
nearly 100000 in the state fund,
general revenue. from which the
general expenses e the state are
paid, the state board of public
works last month transferred from
the state road fund the sum Of
100000 as a loan to the general
expense fund.
After that transaction the state
fund showed a balance at the end
of the month OF S347S1342, while
the state road fund. instead of
showing its actual balance of ST..
043.798.72. closed the month with
onlv $343, 1872 to its credit.
All of the states financial trou-
bles at this time are due to the fact
that the collection OF the income

proximately s1,25o,0 900 is tied up by

CARPET GRASS LIKES
WELL-PREPARED BED
Seed May Be Sown Any Time
Till After Midsummer.
Method Of Seeding Often Used Is to
Cut Grass With Mature Seed and
Scatter Hay Over Land Where
a Pasture Is Desired

On cultivated land, carpet grass sue
ceeds best on well-frmed seed bed.
The seed may be sown any time from
early spring till after midsummer,
when the moisture conditions are IA
vorable. To secure full stand of the
grass promptly, seed should be sown
at the rate Of ten pounds per acre. A
method Of seeding that has often been
used Is to cut grass with mature seed
and scatter the hay over the land
where 1t was desired to establish car
pet-grass pasture.
To establish carpet-grass pasture
in open forests or on cut-over land,
without going to the expense Of clear
ing, the standing trees should be dead
ened by girdling. The land to be
seeded should be burned over in win
Ter in order to remove all the tall
straw or broom sedge wire grass, and
other bunch grasses. Flowing or disk
ing is not necessary. Carpet grass at
the rate of five pounds per acre may
then be sown at any time after the
weather becomes warm, but preferably
when there is ample moisture.

II farm products can be marketed to
best advantage by those who have the
greatest intimacy with them. does II
not follow that the departments con-
tention Is correct?
Several hundred thousand gallons Of
apples are used in Spokane, Wash,
each year in the manufacture Of bak-
ers' pies. Two years ago 10000 gal
Ions of apples annually were shipped
to Spokane from the state Of New
York. Today, although the demand
is greater, the quantity Of imported
apples has been reduced considerably,
for the demand is supplied at home.
That accomplishment w"S made posi-
bic by 20 young girls-girls between
the ages Of ten and eighteen-who
knew that thousands of gallons of Gull
apples were going to waste on farms
in the vicinity of Spokane. Through
the assistance of the United States de-

nation consists of girls. Within few

are instances where, by the use Of i'm

through proper grading and packing
