Public Is Invited at BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. $1,168,000 WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AMONG STATE INSTITUTIONS Interest and Income Collections From Original Land Grants Divided An outline of the distribution to state institutions of $1,168,800 derived from interest and income collections’ from original land grants of univer- sity and school lands is contained in figures compiled by W. E. Byerly, state land commigsioner. The previous year $1,346,509 ob- tained as income on the land grants was distributed. During the last year there has been a drop of 25 per cent on rental in- come on the lands, and a decrease of about 40 per cent in interest income on farm loans and contracts, Mr. Byerly: said. Returns from investments in bonds, however, were said to be 100 per cent, Investments include $11,500,000 in’ farm loans, and $11,000,000 in bonds. There is a bigger demand for pas- ture lands held by the department, while the demand for cultivated lands has fallen off. The figures, covering the period, July 1, 1930, to July 1, 1931, show that: $879,544 of the income went to the common schools which receive the largest amount resulting from the land grants. This is a decrease over the previous year, July 1, 1929 to July 1, 1930, when the common schools received $1,025,995. The agricultural college received $56,803 for the year, while the pre- vious year the amount received was $73,246.
