Of Portage township will dispute with
the Akron School Board the owner
ship of the school building on North
Hill.
The matter was brought before the
Board Of Education Tuesday night by
Mr.. Slabaugh, who has held confer
ence with committee from the Por-
tage board. The conference was held
In the Office Of Prosecuting Attorney
II. NJ Wanamaker whose counsel the
Portage Board has sought.
Mr.. Slabaugh stated that willie the
members Of the Portage Board Of Edu-
cation practically agreed that the
North Hill building became the prop
erty of the city by annexation, yet they
also claim that the school was erected
not only for the sub-district in which
it is situated, but for The entire town
ship as high school and believed that
they were entitled TO some compensa.
tiop. Mr.. Slabaugh said: II do not
believe they have any right to the
building simply because they have
taught Algebra. The Prosecuting at
torney has not told them that they
have any hold upon 1t, except possibly
IL room for high school purposes.
In this connection, Mr.. Endres, chair
man of the committee on janitors rec
commended the employment of Mr. d.
G. Dc Woody as janitor Of tho n. Hill
school The members were not in
clined to hire janltor for disputed
property, and the recommendation was
not accepted. Mr.. Harpham stated
that Mr.. De Woody had reported that
the citizens Of North Hill had locked
the building and discharged him. Mr..
Dewoody was formerly janitor before
the territory was annexed to the city.
Mr.. Harpham was Of the opinion that
1t was the intention OF the Portage
people to make a test OF the case.
Reporting further In reference to
| providing school facilities for the new
ly added districts, Mr.. Slabaugh said
that he believed 1t would be neces-
sary to rent the present school build
ings from Coventry township for next
year. He stated that there were three
families living south Of Summit Lake
who would need attention. After the
school enumeration has been complet-
ed Mr.. Slabaugh viii hold another
ceeting with the interested parties.
TO DROP a COURSE.
When the report OF the committee on
Course of Study was ca,led for, DR.,
Reed recommended that the English
course be dropped or abandoned. The
reason given was that few pupils e,oct-
ed the purely English course. III sup.
port of the committea's action, Supi.
Thomas said. "The other courses in,
clude all that is in the English course,
and many thought II afforded an easy
way OF getting through the high
school" No action was taken and the
committee was granted more time to
re'auarge the various courses Upon
Mr.. Hartzelvs suggestion, u course

To Make Bees Profitable.

DIR. Miller says beekeeper should

The Cultivation of EIax

| have raised fax for the last Is
years and | find the following to be
the best method: First, new ground
is better than old, and prairie is pre-
ferred. Old pastures are very good,
too. After prairie sod is broken up
it is best to run over it once or twice
with a disc. Then SOW your seed
while it is dry. Never sow your seed
when the ground is wet as it will get
covered better when the ground is
dry. The rains will come and drive
the seed into the soil. 1t is well to
harrow lightly after sowing. You
can sow on the prairie from the 1st
of April to the lst of June and get a
good crop. Cut as soon as ripe, and
let it lie for two or three days if it
is dry. Then stack.--W. S. Young, in
Farmers Review.

CONSERVATION CROPS.
Growing Peas with Corn, Quite .
Popular Practice in Some Parts.
Not to he RecOmmen ended.

My first experience in planting peas
with corn was in 1895. About 30 acres
of corn were planted on very thin
land in rows six feet apart The
ground was kept as level az possible
and when about half through cultivat-
ing the corn, the peas were drilled in,
using about one-half bushel of seed
per acre. At the last blowing the
peas had a good start and were per-
haps foot high. This made a most
excellent crop of both seeds and vines.
The same season another field of good
land was planted in corn, the rows be-
ing four and one-half feet apart. At
the last plowing. when the corn was
about shoulder high, peas were sown
by hand between the corn rows. The
peas were so badly shaded by the corn
that they did not amount to much.
Another method was observed by the
writer two years ago. This was plant
ing corn and peas at the same time
and in the same row. following the
corn drill with the pea drill. The re-
suit of this was that by the time the
corn was in roasting ear the peas had
almost covered it up and in one field
that l saw, no corn was to be seen,
only the elbows of the stalks where
the peas had broken the tops over. l
think the proper way to grow peas is
to plant them alone. To get the best
results they should be sown during
the latter part of May, on land pre-
pared as well as if for corn, using one
and one-fourth bushels of seed per
acre. They can be harvested the lat
ter part of August and hogs and
calves turned in to pick up the waste,
then the ground is in the best possi-
BILE condition for wheat.-W. A. Cham
bers, in Prairie Farmer.

1t is claimed that pasture land that
is run down will be improved if a
crop of corn is grown upon the field,
but the beneficial effects from the
corn are no doubt more apparent
than real. All poor soils that are al
lowed to remain uncultivated until
some kind of volunteer crop (if only
weeds) take possession will gain in
fertility to a certain extent. Such q
system is known as "fallowing," or
resting the soil. Growing a crop Of
corn simply induces cultivation and
puts the soil in better condition, al
though the land will have already
been improved by the following.
