! County Will Work
Those With Terms
Less Than 60 Days
Chance ToJReat In Jail For Short
Termers Removed By
Ruling,
r" The fact that State convict
officials will not work convicts
with terms under 60 days does
not mean that'Cleveland county
eonvlots with shorter sentences
will have nothing to do but* “lie
up In Jail.”
When the State took over all con -
;vjcts on July 1, but refused to work
short-term prisoners, it was believed
i that the short-termers would prove
expensive ,to the county with no
set work outlined for them.
Explains Law.
Attorney General Dennis G.
Brummitt has recently ruled, how
1 ever, that county officials may work
all prisoners sentenced for less than
60 days “at hard labor on public
work of the county."
Mr. Brummitt said he was receiv
ing numerous requests from officials'
to know what disposition was to be'
made of persons who hereafter are
sentenced to terms of less than 60
' days.
The law specifically provides that
they may be worked at hard labor
on streets, on the county farm or at
other labor on public works, Mr.’
Brummitt said.

Washington, July 13.—Bountiful
harvests of corn and wheat were
forecast last week by the agricul
ture department,
Cora production, on the basis of
July 1 condition, was estimated at
2,967,953,000 bushels as compared
with 2,094,000,006 bushels in 1930.
when com was seriously affected by
drought. The five-year average 1s
2,761,000,000 bushels.
A wheat crop exceeding last year’s
production was seen in prospect.
The department estimated this
year’s production at 869,013.000 bu
shels as compared with 863,000.000
a year ago. The five-year average
is 822,000,000 bushels.
The department said the season
has been marked by sharp shifts be
tween crops and differences in con
ditions in producing areas. Drought
and heat have dried pastures, re- j
duced milk production and caused!
I — — . - . — —. .Ill
a general decline in hay prospects.
However the July 1 average of
crop conditions was about a per
cent higher than last year and be
tween 1 and 2 per cent lower than
the 10-year average.
A sharp Increase in the estimated
winter wheat production was noted
as compared with the June 1 fore
cast. During the month, favored by
excellent growing conditions, the
prospects improved until a crop of
1713.000. 000 bushels was foreseen as
'compared with the June 1 estimate
of 649,000,000.
The 1930 winter wheat production
was 612,000,000 and the five-year
average is 547,000,000 bushels:
A sharp reduction In spring wheat,
caused by drought conditions and
a 19 per cent cut in plantings, will
bring the 1931 crop down to 124,(550,

(By M. R. DUNNAGE, Star News Bureau)
Raleig-h, July 13.—“If the, people are as insistent upon
^tax relief in July as they are now—’’ is the beginning ( of a
statement made while the general assembly was in session
’by Governor O. Max Gardner. His meaning was that if the

then they would get plenty of^relief.

mission’s report, showing that more

nearly nine and two-third millions
in schools and more than two, anrd
one-half millions in roads, will be
welcomed information to jjroperty
owners, even if a deficit does de
velop. O
And this reduction must be re
flected in the individual tax bill.
The counties are required to reduce
local expenses by that much, and
can exceed the difference by only
three cents, and then with the ap
proval of the Local Government
Commission The result will be
greater than that of the “million
dollar rain,” in that it would be
more than $12,000,000 relief.
Save State Money
While the amount is indefinite,
estimates place the savings on the
one item of gasoline alone for the
present fiscal year at between $150,
000 and $200,000 on the approxi
mately 10 million gallons that will
be used by the State's agancles, as
a result of the contract entered in
to last Friday between the Division
of Purchase and Contract and the
Texas Company for the supply.
The supply for about seven counties
will be supplied by six smaller firms,
the Texas Company supplying the
remainder of the State.
The contract gives the State the
benefit of all local price wars, in
that the price is so much less than
the published service station price
in effect at the time and point of
delivery, the big contract being 6.15
cent less than tank car price; 5.15
less than tank wagon price, and
3.15 cents less than service station
price.
The division has called for bids
on nearly 10.000 pneumatic tires and
slightly more than that many tubes.
