all sources is still decreasing and
we are confronted with a condition
as to the general fund in that the
receipts in the next fiscal year will
undoubtedly fall short of the esti
mated budget income"
Speaker Robinson. of the House
of Representatives was furnished
administration bills carrying out
these suggestions. hut the bills were
not called for final action by the
House. The first bill was referred
to, the committee on revenue and
taxation, of which Representative
Rees was chairman. and it repOsed
in that committee when the session
adjourned. Under that bill. $3S5.000
would have been transferred from
the sinking fund to the general
fund. The other bill. No. 1865. pro-
vided for the paying of maturities
on certain highway improvement
bonds and State-aid road bonds is
sued by the Levy Courts of the
three counties out of the State
Highway Fund. during the fiscal
hiennium of the State ending June
80. 1885. This hill was referred 20
the committee on revised statutes
and was reported out favorably by
Representative Scott. However. il
was never brought up for final read
ing.
Failure of the House to pay any
attention to the condition and its
ignoring of the Governors warning
caused Senator Keith on March %
to introduce bill to transfer 1885,
600 from the sinking fund to the
general fund. and thus provide
money for the present fiscal year
Three days later. Senator Keith
offered a measure the purpose of
which was to pay off the maturities
of the highway bonds, the same he
ing obligations of the counties.
The two bills offered by Senator
Keith were the same as those in
trOduced by Speaker Robinson on
April .. The Senate passed both of
Senator Keiths bills and forwarded

WAR ON TRUCKS
GContinurd from Firn Pa0r1

While no figures were available
as to the number of Delaware
trucks that had been stopped in
North Carolina II is believed that
the number of North Carolina
trucks stopped in Delaware already
exceeds the number of Delaware
trucks held up in that state.
Delaware trucks rarely pass
through North Carolina except at
this season of the year. Each spring
a number of truckers from Kent
and Sussex counties go south to
bring shipments of North Carolina
straw berries to the New York mar
kets. Many residents down State are
also said to go south at this season
to pick Strawberries and to return
here when the local strawberry
crop ripens.
The fifteen trucks stopped Mon
day were all found on the Glasgow
road by members of the Penny Hill
Station kept on the lookout for
North Carolina trucks returning
from New York. They reported no
arrests. No reports were received
from the dow n-State stations of the
state Police but il is believed most
of the truckers use the route
through Baltimore. ElktOn and
Glasgow.

employ any one to keep a record of
their purchases or to write checks.
This is done by the bank and the

Chadbourn auction market is open
to any buyer who desires to pur-
chase there. hut no buyer can pur-
chase on that market unless he has
the money in the bank to pay for
the Strawberries he buys. The bank

ties of strawberries in hearing on

berry growers in Delaware would
find it very much worthwhile to
visit this station and talk to DR..
Deering and Dr. DarrOw regarding
the work they have done.
The method of growing strawber-
ries in North Carolina differs con-
siderably from the method of grow
ing in Delaware. inasmuch as in
this State strawberries are grown
in matted rows or beds. whereas. in
North Carolina the plants are spac-
ed in the beds from six to nine in

of all farms under contract will
have to be completed before the
next benefit payments are made to
those farmers who signed allotment
contracts last fall when the local
wheat association was organized.
In regard to the reopening OF

the officers and board of directors
of the wheat association that very

About the merry month of May.
In verses glad. in verses gay
I've sung of woe. I've sung of bliss:

And often, on Memorial Day.
I've sung the Blue. I've sung the Gray.
But every year. or hit or miss.
I've felt as warns the solar ray.
There never was a May like this.
Gone now is March with snow and
