FARMERS GET
CORN-HOG PAY
Checks Have Been Distribut-
ed in Kent County For
Federal Allotment

In connection with the corn-hog
allotment and reduction program
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, benefit payment
checks are now being distributed
to those farmers in Kent county
who signed corn-hog contracts last

ware is being conducted under the
direction of the Kent-New Castle

Association, with headquarters in

fees in Georgetown, in cooperation
with the extension department of
the University of Delaware. All
contracts were passed upon by the
state allotment committee before
they were forwarded to the Corn
Hog Section of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration for fin
al approval and payment. Not all
the contract signers have received
their checks, however, as it has
been necessary to make some cor
rections ON a few of the contracts,
but an effort is being made to COM
plete this work within short
time. Within the past few weeks
checks representing the first bene-
fit payment on the corn-hog con-
tracts in Kent county have been
on 4S contracts, and
The remaining IA contracts will be
included in these payments as soon
as the necessary corrections can
be made by the local association.
These benefit payments to date
a total of $1789 90 on the

his program, and $3012.OO on the
log reduction plan, or a total of
'48O1.0O distributed through the

,roducers in this county. This
however, will be material

Rev.JameS X. Galley, Minister, An
nOunces Services For the Week
A beautiful illustration of how
God does speak to each heart is
seen in the life of Helen Keller,
that wonderful girl who, blind,
deaf and dumb, is yet a profound
student, not only of facts, but OF
abstract truths. Her teacher had
thought that it would be impos-
sible to teach her of the great and
all-loving Spirit of God 1t was a
subject impossible to explain to
one whose only sense was that of
touch. But when Helen was fo,ur-
teen, the teacher felt that she
must make an effort to give her
some glimpse of spiritual truth, so
she tried to tell her Of God, His
infinite love and protecting care.
With her sensitive fingers placed
on the lips and throat Of her pa
tent teacher Helen followed the
words with a face that began to
glow and shine more and more
until she said, ''Oh, I am so glad
you told me His name, for He has
often spoken to me-" God speaks
with voice that Is heard within.

County Attorney Group
Make Recommendations.

The legislative committee of the
County Attorneys Association sub
mitted recommendation to the Crime
Committee OF the Minnesota State Bar
Association
In its recommendations the legis-
lative committee suggested creation of
a statewide police with unlimited
power except in labor disputes, through
consolidation of the state highway
patrol and the bureau of criminal APP
prehenSion.
kidnapping and racketeering are two
particular crimes which the committee
should study, according to w. <.
Montague of Duluth. former assistant
attorney general, who addressed the
members.
kidnapping, with proper cooperation
of all authorities, should be the easiest
crime to stamp out, he asserted.
He suggested a state law which would
enable enforcement officers to stop
money paid out to kidnapers or making
it mandatory that such money be paid
out in new currency, consecutively num-
bered, which would make easier the ap-
prehension of the crime perpetrators.

Discount Starvation
Theory for Deer,

Game Warden william w. Saari of
Virginia and DR.. E. l. Gutchenritter
Virginia veterinarian, discount the idea
Of starvation among the young deer
and make the claim that maggots which
work their way into the brain of the
young deer are the cause of death.
Dr.. Gutschenritter said the condition
is very common in deer, more some
years than others. I'VE have seen this
infestation in other years and it has
been described in local papers" he said.
From June to October, deer flies lay
larvae on the nostrils of the deer.
When the animal infales, the larvae
are drawn up into the nostrils there
they lay more or less dormant but de-
velop and reach maturity towards the
spring of the year They create pres
sure on the optic nerve and render the
animal blind. The deer knows its
enemy and the older ones are on their
guard and wise enough to shake the
flies of"
It was clearly a case of starvation
for the young dead deer brought into
this city by game wardens. The deep
snow has made it impossible for the
smaller deer TO find food IN the yards
where the deer herd up and where the
larger ones eat everything out of reach
of the smaller ones.

s126,555 QUOTA
FOR COUNTY
State Board Splits Gas, Road
and Bridge Tax Receipts
Among Counties.

st. Louis County viii receive s126,-
555 as its share Of the 1884 receipts
from the Scent gas tax and the one
mill road and bridge levy, according to
the split of the funds made by the
allotment board in st. Paul the latter
part of last week. The total fund was
81, 184,l70 to be split among eighty
seven counties of the state, representing
one-third of the estimated receipts
The other two-thirds goes to the state
trunk highway fund.
OF st. Louis County's share S96 .OOC
will be from the gas tax and S30,555
from the road levy. No special allot-
ment was made to this county.
The entire proceeds of the one-mill
tax go to state aid roads, while one
third Of the total gas tx collections go
to county aid roads and two-t1irds to
state trunk highways.
The total amount to be distributed
from the State Road and Bridge fund
this year viii be considerably less than
in 1892, owing to an estimated average
tax delinquency Of Is per cent and a
decreased consumption of gasoline in
the state. The Board of Allotment
placed the total available this year
from the one-min levy at 81 ,0l8 $50
compared with 81 ,2sl 900 last year. The
1884 share of the counties in the gaso-
line tax estimated at S., 200, 900 by the
board, as against So SOC, 900 in 1893.
Members of the board of allotment
are N. w. Elsberg, commissioner of
highways; Stafford King, state auditor,
and Julius Schmahl, state treasurer.
The law fixes the minimum allotment
OF gas tax funds to any county at y of
one per cent of the total amount avail
able, while the minimum allotment to
any one county from the one-mill tax
IS per cent. The maximum allotment
TO any county is per cent of each fund.
Hennepin, Ramsey and st. Louis
counties received the maximum per-
mitted by law. Gas tax funds are dis
tributed TO the counties in August and
February each year One-miH funds
are paid out on state aid roads as
completed projects are approved by the
State Highway department.
