Money In The Budget Bill
Will Come From The
General Fund.

After holding ii up for many weeks
and consequently delaying final adj
journment of the Legislature, the
House last Thursday afternoon by
vote of 2S TO S passed the general
appropriation bill practically the
same as it came from the Legisla-
tive Budget Committee. The bill
carries total appropriations of $4,-
912,045.66, for the two fiscal years
starting July 1. of this year. to OPP
crate the State departments and
State institutions for that time.
The House also by vote Of 81 to
2, passed the general appropriation
for the operation of the public
schools of the State. another meas
ure that has been held up by the
House Democrats. The money in
the budget bill will come from the
general fund while that for the
schools is appropriated from the
school fund. The school appropria-
tion bill carries appropriations to-
falling $6,276,2 for the two years,
or S3,ISS,12S each year. This with
the $2,500,000 appropriated under a
separate bill for the school building
program and more than 100000 for
transportation of pupils makes con-
siderable over s9,000.000 that the
Legislature has appropriated from
the school fupd should all the bills
become laws.
The budget bill and school appro-
priation bill were passed by the
Senate Friday afternoon.
The budget bill has been a thorn
of contention that has been largely
res ppnsfble for t9e unasnallx long
session OF the Legislature. After Il
had been prepared by the Legisla-
tive Budget Committee made up of
five Democrats and five Republicans
as has always been the custom. the
House Democrats in caucus started
taring the bill to pieces. They made
reductions in the bill totalling about
$270,000 a year. Drastic cuts were
made in the appropriation to the

and other departments and commits

HOW THE FARMER
CAN GET RELIEF
Under Provisions OF New
Farm Mortgage Credit
Act.

"a farmer whose mortgage is
scaled down before it is exchanged
for a Federal farm loan bond, under
the provisions of the new farm
mortgage credit act, not only has a
smaller debt but he obtains all the
benefits of a long-term, low-inter-
est rate loan," stated Chas. S. jack
son, president of the Federal Land
Bank of Baltimore which makes
first mortgage farm loans in the
states of Maryland, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, West Virginia and Della
ware.
when a holder of a first farm
mortgages exchanges il for a Fed
eral farm loan bond, the face value
of the bond sc exchanged represents
the amount paid by the bank for the
mortgage and if this is less than the
amount of the re-finaneed mortgage,
the farmers indebtedness will be
reduced accordingly. y. I,
sas0n kxai7SIa, II tiieeaHfonnt due
on the mortgage were $1,000 and the
bank was willing to exchange a ST.
900 bond for it. the farmers debt to
the bank would be only $1,000. Fur
ther, it is contemplated that the in
dividual holding the mortgage will
not receive a second mortgage or
other consideration from the farmer
in connection with the sale or ex-
change of the first mortgage to the
bank.
ION The $1,000 debt which the
farmer would owe the bank he
would pay interest not exceeding
Az per cent annually, or, in some
cases, 5 per cent. until July II, 1888.
The higher rate applies where the
farm mortgaged is located in ter
ritory where there is no national
farm loan association through
which the bank is able to accept ap-
plications. In making such loans.
the amount of stock purchased by
the borrower is the same as if he
obtained his loan through an asso-
citation, $500 for each $4,000 bor-

and Gamers in conducting this to-
mato improvement program. Those
plants which were set during the
last two weeks in May produced on
the average rs tons of tomatoes per
acre, as compared to a yield of 5.5
tons per acre from those plants
which were set in June. resulting
in a difference of 2.3 tons per acre
in favor of the early plants. The
early set plants are able to make
considerably more growth before
foliage diseases check their develop

tunity to set a larger percentage of
