GOVERNOR CUT
OUT OVER $12,000
Acts on the General Deficiency
Bill For the Rest of Fiscal
Year
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh
late last night announced that he had
cut $1*2,800 from the general de
ficiency bill, which was passed carry
ing $613,576.79 to run the State gov
ernment until the first of next June.
'1 wo years ago his reductions in the
Mmilar bill amounted to $98,800.
This session the House appropriations
committee pruned the estimates of
t over $900,000 with vigor and when
the bill was first printed it contained
4866,000. The committee then held
a series of hearings and proceeded to
use an axe.
The Governor's power of reduction
fell heaviest upon tho State Senate,
$2,000 being cut off the Item for sal
aries and expenses of officers and em
ployes. As the estimates werei based
on a session of 150 days, it is said
to-day that the reductions will not ln
terfero to any great extent with the
upper house. The lower house was
clipped to the same extent.
Two years ago the Gdvernor cut
$25,000 each from the Senate and
House salary, mileage and expense
lists, these two vetoes being more than
half of his total cuts at that time.
The Health Department, which was
cut $20,000 last session, was not
touched this time. Its appropriation
for medical inspection not being
pruned.
The Go%ernor gave no reasons for
reductions. Tho Items he .cut Includ
ed two which were jumped In com
mittee. One was for the Senate ex
penses and the other for foresters In
the Department of Forestry. The lat
ter item was raised in committee to
SIB,OOO from $15,000. The Governor
cut off SI,OOO.
The bill contains an item of $3,000
to pay Interest on printing bills, which
will be taken care of in later legisla
tion. having been cut out of the de
ficiency. It also contains $43,788.33
for the fees and expenses of the es
cheaters and their lawyers in the Har
mony escheat. • The Governor did not
touch this item. Neither did ho make
any change in the sum of SBOO for ex
penses of the unveiling of the Oakley
paintings in the Senate chamber.
The fact that the Governor made
so few reductions as compared to the
cuts of 1915 was due to the fact that
Chairmen Buckman and Woodward,
of the appropriations committee, took
up the bill with him while it was in
committee and reached an under
standing on most of the items.
The reductions are as follows: Mid
wifery licensure in the Department
of Public Instruction, $500; salaries of
foresters, etc., In Department of For
estry, $1,000; expenses automobile di
vision, State Highway Department,
$1,000; public grounds and buildings
salaries, etc., $2,000! public printing;
and binding supplies, $1,000; main
tenance steamer Commodore Perry.
Department of Fisheries, $200; Water ;
Supply Commission, emergency work, 1
*500; Board of Censors. expenses.
$100; Senate, salaries and mileage of
officers and employes, $4,000; House j
of Representatives, salaries and mike- ,
i age, $2,000.
Economy Hearings Are
off Until Next Week
Hearings by the State Economy and
Efficiency Commission on the in
creases asked in appropriations by
heads of departments have been post
poned until next week by Governor
Brumbaugh. It had been planned to
have the hearings yesterday and to
day, but the Governor was busy dur
ing the day with Attorney General
• Brown on the deficiency bill and other
matters, including the developments
in the Thaw oase and Mr. Brown had
to go to Philadelphia.
The Governor stated that he wanted
to make some studies of requests, in
cluding- those for highways and
schools which he thought were amply |
justified and that he wanted to con
sider pending legislation relating to
the Department of Labor and Industry
before deciding upon its estimate.
The chairmen of the legislative ap
propriation committees will be invited
to meet with the commission next
week when it begins its hearings. The
commission will make up the budget
as called for by the Daix resolution
and the figures will probably be more
or less definite.

LIGHTY URGES AN
ENSILAGE METHOD
Fanning Expert Says That Men
Can Get Better Results by
Thorough Study
Northern tier farmers of Pennsyl
vania had considerable trouble with
their corn crop sown for ensilage last
season on account of the wet weather
and some of them turned their attention
to millet and added it with tho im
matured corn for silo use. One of the
lsrge dairy feeders writes the Depart
ment of Agriculture asking whether
corn and millet are good ensilage and
practical to feed. L. W. Eighty, farm
adviser on dairying and crop rotations,
saygj "Millet If cut Just at the right
time will eontaln as muoh protein and
energy n well glazed silage corn, and
if the smaller kind, Hungarian, Is
Brown, just a little more. The grosa,
however, grows so rapidly and ma
tures so quickly that we are opt to
get it when the fiber percentage is
very large and the nutrlmonts less.
There is something about millet that
the cattle do not like, neither the
grass nor the hay and if put in the
silo alone they generally will refuse
to eat It. The addltloiV of corn may
bring about a different condition, but
It is well to try it in a small way.
"I believe that corn and millet
mixed about half and half would be
fully as good as corn alone from the
analysis viewpoint only, but pala
tibility has so much to do with maxi
mum production that analysis does
not tell tho whole story. Millet does
not seem to be unwholesome to cows,
but sometimes it seems to have a bad
effect on horses. If the corn can be
grown to a reasonable degree of ma
turity, and it can in the northern tier
counties in a normal year, I am sure
one can secure better results from all
corn than from a mixture with
millet."
According to reports to the depart
ment there are an unusually large
number of farm sales this spring and
in some sections the farmers, both
owner and tenant, have given up the
work on account of the scarcity of
farm help.
Secretary of Agriculture Charles E.
Patton urges all farmers not to re
duce their acreage in potatoes this
year as a continued potato famine
would be a great calamity with the
country in its present unsettled state.
The Dairy - and Food Bureau of the
Department of Agriculture has total
receipts for January and February of
$299,645.28 against a total of slightly
over $303,000 for the entire year of
1916. Prosecutions against dealers
violating the pure food acts in the
sale of adulterated and impure foods
resulted in fines of $1,14 0.00 being
paid into the State Treasury during
February.
The tendency of the farmers in the
State at the present time seems to be
for the continued use of more lime
and less commercial fertilizers.
Canadian Rises From

London, March 9.—Colonel E. Hil
liam, who has been promoted to be

Gomez Rebel Army Falls
With Capture of Leader
By Associated Press
Havana, March 9. Ex-President
Jose Miguel Gomez, head of tho Lib
eral revolution movement in Cuba, is
a prisoner in the Presidio, while the
members of his staff, among them Col
onel Qulnones, his chief lieutenant in
the field, are behind the walls of Fort
Cabanas.
Reaching Havana in a military train
which was under the command of Sec
retary of the Interior Hevia, the mem
bers of the party presented a rather
pathetic appearance, as they alighted
from the train at the Quinta de los
Molinos station, instead of going as
had been expected, to the • terminal
station where thousands of spectators
had gathered to witness their arrival.
Gomez was the first to step from the
train. He was dressed in khaki with
a white handkerchief about his neck
and appeared very tired.
Caught between the fires in battle,
which resulted in Gomez' downfall, the
rebels suffered heavy losses. Their
dead and wounded are estimated at
upward of 300, while 280 were made
prisoners.

It is much more advisable to select a moderate price suit at this establishment, where styles
