Record Sum Allotted For

To Garry On Wide Range
OF Projects

The new State budget provinces
the largest amount of money ever
made available for the prevention
and eradication of diseases OF farm
animals and plants.
Appropriations to carry on the
University of Maryland's and the
State Board of Agriculture's work IN
this connection for each Of the fiscal
years 1910 and 1941 run to
$194,500.
Heading the list of appropriations
for each of the years is $500 600 in
the original budget and $25,00O IN
the supplemental budget for bang
disease control. The amount request
ed was 100000 per annum.
Estimates of the cost Of this con-
tagious malady, affecting thousands
of Maryland dairy cows, run to as
much as $1,0OO,0O0 annually.
The war on the disease by State
agencies began in 1887, when the
Legislature appropriated 100000
for each of the fiscal periods 1888
and 1899.
Diseased animals are destroyed and
indemnites paid the farmers by the
State and Federal governments out
of bond issue.
Japanese Beetle Funds
For continuation of the battle
against the Japanese beetle the Leg
islature appropriated $4,000 for
each of the years beginning October
1, 1899. This amount is equivalent
to- that allocated for 1898 and 1883.
The Legislature also recommend
ed that in the event the entire
amounts for these two projects are
not expended, any unexpended bal
ance at the end of the fiscal year
should revert to the State treasury.
For soil conservation and drain
age work throughout the State, un-
der the supervision OF the State
Board of Agriculture, $500 be-
comes available in each of the fiscal
periods 1910 and 1941.

control work will be carried out at

land counties have had production
cut badly in recent years by diseased
tobacco plants, principally those In
seed-beds.
A like amount Is provided for
strawberry-disease control during
1910 and 1941.
In an effort to curb the spread Of
disease among bees $4,000 las been
included in the budget for each Of

Roman laws have had great deal
to do with modern laws. Some of
their rules of law come down to the
present time, and are followed by
modern lawyers and judges.
Perhaps more important, the Ian
guage of the Romans is one of the
parents, or grandparents, of our Ian
guage. Tens of thousands of our
English words grew out of Latin.
Some were borrowed straight from
the Latin. Others came to us after
they had been spoken and written
in the French language, and had
been changed in some ways. You
remember how the Normans won
power in England, and added many
words to English.
In writing history, I try to tell
interesting things. History books
often spend too much time telling
about warfare. We should know
something about wars, but there are
many other things in history which
are more interesting, and which
mean more to us in our present.
