Another delegate, alluding to the finan-

Word also was received of indignant re-

SETTLEMENT
PLAN ENDED

SACRAMENTO, July 6. UP)-
The states experiment in agricul-

ended, a failure. Governor Frank
F.. Merriam signed a bill abolishing
the state land settlement board.
Nature was partially to blame.
Farmers were unable to meet their
obligations for the small loan pay
ments which the state provided in
the sale of lands from Durham and
Delhi agricultural colonies. The
land was found unproductiye.
The subsistence program was
fOStered at a cost of $4,000, 900
through the board. Officials hope
to realize at least so cents on the
dollar of the state investment. A
trade of some lands and sale of
others will facilitate a trade for
Sacramento lands contemplated for
a state office building site. Other
sales will liquidate the Durahm
colony and leave 1700 acres for dis
poSal at Delhi.
