| Beattie cited the instance where the
California State Marketing Bureau
turned down $4,000 crates of canta-
loupeS in one week because they had
been picked too green, and refused to
allow them to be shipped.
California shipped 5000 carloads
of cantaloupes in four weeks this
year" continued Mr.. Beattie, "but
this section should be able to elsily
outrival the Western State owing to
the fact that il is within "a hours of
the best Eastern markets, while it
takes from to IL days to bring a
carload of melons from the Western
Coast
"One firm. of Hurlock, has made a
business for years of shipping melons
at the right stage of ripeness, and,
as result of their precaution in this
regard they were getting 81 per
crate for their goods when others
were receiving $3.50. This was two
years ago, but this firm stands high
in the esteem of the buyers because
it sells only high-grade fruit, well
graded and properly packed"
Mr.. Beattie has offered the follow
ing suggestions to growers of canta-
loupes a to time of picking: "Pick
them when the stem will break free
from the melon by the pushing of
thumb or finger. Pick often; at leas.
every other day, at first; then every
day. and finally two or three times a
day. Melons should always be pick
ed greener toward the end of the
season than at the beginning of the
season. Watch your cantaloupeS
closely so they don't get over-ripe
over sunday, and pick them on Sun
day. if necessary"

ASKS INCREASE FOR
STATE SCHOOLS
Cook Urges Advance In Revenue
Covering AllOtments Instead
OF High Levy

Increasing the proportion of the
States revenues which are allotted
to public schools, rather than increas-
ing the direct property tax, is the
plan suggested by Albert S. Cook,
State Superintendent of Schools, in a
circular recently sent to all county
superintendent. Replies received by
Mr.. Cook indicate virtually unani-
nous approval of the idea among the
local school authorities.
The last Legislature" said Mr..
Cook yesterday, Increased the State
appropriation for public schools by
S750,000 and in SO doing reduced the
state school tax rate of that year to
IS cents for 1921 and to Is cents in
1922. This was possible par,ly be-
cause of an increase in the taxable
basis. particularly in the more
wealthy counties and the city of
Baltimore, and partly due TO the fact
that for the first time the public
schools received, in round numbers,
for 1921 $50O,OO0 from the other in
come of the State not raised by pub
lie taxation. and for the year 1922 we
will receive S650,00 from this source
Outlines Campaign
This S650.000, plus the l5 cents,
will probably amount to considerable
more than the $2,75O,000 appropriated
to the schools, and, Of course, any
such additional sum is turned back
to the State Treasurer We shall,
therefore, eventually make our cam
paign on the principle that the pub
lie schools should receive more than
II cents Of each dollar of the State
income, which is about what it re-
ceives now.
The States raises between $4,000,
600 and S5.000.000 by direct taxation
to pay off the bond issues for roads
and public buildings and for public
schools All the other expenses of
the State government are derived
from indirect sources. and the total
income of the State is upwards of
Sl5,000,O0O
For Aid of Poor Counties
I'VE find by examining the tax
rates in the various counties of the
State that no county devotes less than
one quarter its total income to the
public schools, with the exception of
Charles County with i0-cent rate.
and there they had some additional
funds left over that are not credited
in the tax rate. To carry our pro
gram, the public elementary and high
schools would receive about "a cents
out of each dollar of State income in
stead of the 16 or II cents they now
receive"
The program of the Department of
Education for State aid TO schools
includes an increase in the so-called
equalization fund, whereby poor
counties, by adopting n standard tax
rate for their own schools, may re-
ceive special help, enabling them to
maintain standard of education APP
proximating that of the richer coun-
ties. The total increase for which
the Legislature will be asked amounts
to 81 100000.
