Routine Work For Farm Board.

Increased appropriations amount
ing to $500 for fighting tuberculosis
among cattle, and $4OO for distribu-
ting reports of the crop census were
authorized at the semi-annual meet
ing of the State Board Of Agriculture
here. Routine business, and the
consideration Of departmental re-
ports and work, consumed most of
the day.
In connection with his report,
Commissioner w. A. Graham called
attention to the legislative act
changing the end of the fiscal year
from December 10 June. and submit
ted the financial report for the period
beginning January I, 1929. He
suggested a change In the law that
would allow the main report of the
department to be made In December
as usual.
Receipts from various sources
from which the department draws
its revenues showed gross income
Of $23s,019.83. covering the six
months period. The bulk Of the In
come, amounting to $172,834.S3, came
from the sale of fertiliser tags.
Disbursements. including pay OF
employees and officials ,upkeep OF
experiment stations, amounted to
.187,274.31, leaving a balance on hand
OF $S7.480 with which to complete the
years work. Appropriations were
made for some improvements at the
several test farms, and transfer OF
q part Of the Jersey herd at the
Edgecombe farm to the Buncombe
farm was ordered.
Major Graham reported satisfac-
tory progress in agricultural work
in the State, and the expectation that
North Carolina would maintain its
standing for the production Of agri-
CULTURAL wealth during the year

Washington. - Continuing It's work
Of rewriting the tariff bill. the senate
finance committee majority has ap-
proved reductions In the duties orig.
,nally proposed on cotton cloths and
some cotton goods, including hose and
half.hose and underwear and other
wearing apparel. Some attention also
has been given to the woolen sched.
ule, but 1t is understood that the com
mittee will make few II any changes
in the rates In that schedule.
Under the changes IN the cotton
schedule, duties on cotton cloth would
not exceed As per cent ad valorem 40
compared with original duties In some
cases of 90 per cent and more. In
the place Of rates on hose and half
hose ranging from IL per cent id
valorem and 10 cents per dozen pairs
to so per cent ad valorem, the majority
has fixed a straight duty OF 10 cents
per pound and 60 per cent ad valo-
rem.
On the underwear and all other
wearing apparel Of every description
finished or unfinished, the majority
fixed duty Of so per cent ad valorem
in place Of tho original sliding scale
ranging from 40 cente per dozen and
IL Ia per cent ad vslorem to 40 per
