SLUSH FUND CHARGE BY
COX IS CORROBORATED.
District of Columbia ‘‘Money Digger’'
Admits Quota,
Frankly and bluntly William T. Gal-
liher, chairman of the Ways aad Means
Committee of the Republican organiza-
tion, said the quota given the District of
Columbia was $50,000, as declared by
Mr. Cox. Galliher is president of the
American National Bank, a leading
financial institution of Washington.
“There is no secret about the fund of
$50,000 being raised in the District,”
said Mr. Galliher. *‘The committee of
which I am chairman has received app-
roximately $20,000. We expech to get
the additional $30,000 within few
weeks. As soon as che money is obtain-
ed I will send it to the Republican Na-
tional Committee in New York, as 1 did
the $20,000."
No doubt seemed to exist in
of Mr. Galliher but that tne
would be raised in good time,

BUDGET AND QUOTA.
Mr. Upham, treasurer of the Republi-
can Mmtional Committe, says that Gov-
ernor Cox does not know the difference
between a ** and a “budget.”
He describes a quota as a *‘dream,
roseate estimate, something nobody ex-
pects to get.” Yet the Republican
Treasury Bulletin states that a great
many cities oversubscribed their quota.
The Washington (D. C.) Republican
chairman admits Washington's quota
$50,000, as stated in the list and says he

It is Mr. Upham who does not know
the real distinction between a quota and
a budget, His idea is that a quota is
what they get and a budget is what they
admit they get,

APPLE SALES-—The high price of
fruit packages will lead many growers
to sell apples loose in bulk. This is not
likely to be profitable unless the apples
are assorted by varieties and grades as
in packages, and are kept clean by using
plenty of straw.
SILO FILLING~The time to cut
corn for silage is when the kernels are
well dented and the husks and lower
leaves are turning brown. It is better
to run the risk of having the corn frost.
ed than to cut too early. Freezing will
not injure the feeding value of corn for
silage if it is stored promptly after the
freezing takes place,
SHEEP Flushing season is here, It
is the time for feeding ewed a little extra
just before breeding time to get them in
a vigorus offspring. A change of pas-
ture, 10 to 14 days before breeding is
good practice, Broken pumpkins scat-
tered over the pasture is excellent, as is
a small patch of fresh rape. Half a
pound of oats daily is the best of the
common farm grains,

similar to the one which resulted fatally
