they said What that us? See to that yourself So he
threw the money down in the temple and left them and
went and hanged himself
Taking up the money the chief priests argued: This
cannot be put the temple fund.- is bloodmoney. So
after confeing they used to buy the Potters Field

Acre by which that field has been known since and

Wheat Allotment
Notices Apply To

The acreage shown on [ h e

producers before the August
marketing quota referendum is
1862 wheat allotment for all pur-
poses, Kyle Momberg, chairman
of the County Agricultural Sta
Utilization and Conservation com

week.
This allotment figure reflects
the 10 per cent minimum diver
sion to soil-conserving uses as
required by law to participate
in the 1862 wheat sterilization
program, the chairman explain
ed. II is also the figure to be
used i'm determining whether or
not there will be a marketing

the wheat acreage on the farm
exceeds this allotment-or the
permitted acreage" in the case
of small farms-the excess 1862
production from the farm will be
subject to marketing penalties.
Momberg said that there has
been some confusion among pro.
ducers about the wheat acreage
allotment, but there is only one
allotment figure for each farm
under the 1862 acreage allot-
ment. This allotment figure -
which represents a 10 per cent
reduction below what the allot.

vious legislation-applies under
all phases of the program-mar.

The 1919 legislature adopted
the foundation program law
which eInDodieS the prineirle OF
equalization grants from the
state level. The foundation pro-
gram rates are adopted by the
legislature and determine how
much money each school is al
lowed to spend for its general
operation.
The equalization grant is meant
to place more state aid in dis
tricts with low tax resources per
child and less state aid in the
so-called rich" districts. T h e
basic elements are the founda-
ton program, establishing the
level of spending on one hand,
and a measure of local tax re-
sources on the other. State aid
is the difference between these
two, except that in the Montana
law the state cannot finance over
so per cent of a schools founda-
ton program.
Since the adoption of the foun-
dation program method Of financ-
ing public schools, state aid has
increased $50 per cent through
legislative appropriations and in
creased income tax collections.
EnroIlments have increased SIS
per cent during this period. The
foundation program schedules
have been way out in front OF
state dollar support and this has
resulted in property financing
the difference in so-called def
cheney levies with higher taxes.
Per Pupil Support Before, After
In I94849, the year before the
foundation program went into eff
feet, Glacier county received
SOL per pupil in state assistance
for its public schools compared
with SI05 for the last compiled
fiscal year of ls60-61. This was
a ~ per cent increase compared
to a state average of 10 per
cent.
