More than $4,000 worth of Gu

STATE FRANCHISE
TAXES DECREASING
Commissioner Reports Collections
s61S.995 Less Than Previous Year

The changing of stock of no par
value to par stock of small denom-
nations by large corporations is
given as the principal reason. by
General Montague. assistant State
tax commissioner. for the drop in
franchise tax collections in Della
ware from s4,16S.617 last year to
s3,554.622 for the fiscal year. end
ing June 80, last. The decrease to-
tailed S61S,995. Franchise taxes last
year amounted to more than IS
per cent of all taxes collected by
the State Tax Department.
The situation is still continuing
and corporations are continuing to
change their stock from no par value
to stock of small denominations
and it is anticipated that the loss
will be up to a million dollars next
year.
This money, it was pointed out.
together with the income tax went
to the school fund previously. but
now a total of $46O,0O0 is assigned
for use of the University of Della
ware, the State College for Colored
Students and expenses of the State
Tax Department. That franchise
and income. taxes will not pay for
the operation of the schools next
year is probable If Withdrawals from
these sources continue.

CROPS UNINJURED
AS YET BY HOT SPELL
Local Showers Have Aided Growing
Crops In Many Sections OF State

Although cooler weather and gem
eral rains are needed throughout
Delaware to help growing crops
there is no immediate danger of
their destruction as a result of the
prolonged heat wave and dry spell,
according to W. T. Derickson, dfrec-
tor of the Bureau of Markets, who
made a survey of conditions in this
State.
He explained that local showers
have helped conditions which vary
according to locality. The tomato
crop is late but it has not been hurt
iy the heat and the lack { rain
and the same thing applies to the
corn crop. Apples and truck crops.
Mr.. Derickson explained, have
reached the stage where rain is
needed to insure their growth. This
is especially true of cantaloupes,
cucumbers, string beans and lima
beans. Potatoes also are suffering
but the crop has not been curtailed
as yet.
While some of this produce may
be short unless there are general
rains over the State farmers say
they are not alarmed by the present
outlook.

Following Drought.

Normal Rainfall During

CATTLE SUFFERING

The story of the drought was
written Tuesday in figures of the
governments crop forecast which
predicted a wheat harvest of only
483, 662, 900 bushels the smallest In
Al years.
The estimate showed the same
situation in the case of oats, barley

the corn crop was ravaged by mid
summer dry weather. Corn produc-
ton for 1884 was estimated at 2
113,137 900 bushels.

grams and to losses from drought

vested will probably he the lowest

that 1.-THE crop situation is less
promising than at this season in
any recent year and little if any
brighter than it was a month ago.
Private observers had felt that
rains since the official crop forecast
in June had improved conditions to
the extent that the tentative figure
of SOC, 100000 bushels of wheat
month ago would be raised.
Instead there was a reduction OF
16,37s, 900 bushels. The estimate for
winter wheat last month was 4OO.-
OOO. 600 bushels as compared to 1884,
$1,000 today.
The crop reporting board made
no official forecast for spring wheat
in June but il said the figure was
around 100. 600. 900 bushels. The es-
innate today was S9.394,OOO.
The fve-year average production
of wheat for 1927-1931 was $685.

nounced only this week that the IS
per cent reduction in wheat acreage
might be continued for the new
crop year but he specifically reser-
we'd the right to decree that those
who signed contracts plant more of
the grain.
The report said nearly norma,

General Fund.
OTHER LOANS WILL
HAVE TO BE MADE
Increased Taxation Be-
Iieved Unnecessary; Re-
ALLEGATION Present Need

Although there was a deficit in
the general fund of the State Treas
ury at the end of the last fiscal
year. June 80, and the State had to
negotiate loans totaling approx
mately 100000 from the banks to
meet current expenses, it is antici-
pated that when State Auditor ].
Henry Hazel completes his report
this week it will show a surplus in
the general fund at this time. This
has been made possible by econo-
mics exercised by practically all
State Departments and which en-
abled them to make refunds to the
State Treasury far in excess of what
had been anticipated.
In addition to this the usual reve-
nues received at the beginning of
every fiscal year in July are coming
into the treasury and these receipts
have helped bolster up the fund to
such an extent that the deficit ex-
listing in June has been eliminated
and there is now balance.
All of the 100000 that was bor-
rowed has not been expended but
it will be exhausted by september
and by the middle of that month
current expenses will have used up
practically all of the money that
will have been accumulated in the
general fund so that it will then
be necessary to negotiate another
loan from the banks. How much
this will be cannot be estimated
until the current expenses have
been totaled at that time. Between
then and the first of the year other
loans will lave to be made but it
is hoped the next Legislature will
take such action as is necessary to
remedy existing conditions and in
the future eliminate any deficit in
the general fund.
Revenues coming into the State
Treasury are ample to meet all
the expenses of government in Del
