A FAVORED INDUSTRY.
Onion Culture Has Attracted Many
Farmers This Year

ear.
Owing 70 the generally successful
onion season last year more than usual
attention is given the subject OF 1905
acreage. Cool weather throughout some
Of the more northern sections retarded
planting Yet it is reasonably certain
that the general acreage this year will
prove somewhat larger than in 1904.
There may be local exceptions. but
these are mora than Offset by the
strong disposition In some big CONNER
cial onion producing places 20 deal
more extensively in this important
crop, says Orange Judd Farmer.
The attitude OF Michigan and Wis
consin farmers toward onions is one OF
marked favor. This is particularly true
IN those sections where onions form an
important commercial crop. In the
Green Bay district OF Wisconsin the
crop recently sowed Is reported fully
as large as last year. Those growers
who possess rich clay soil have gener-
ally Increased the acreage. as onions
on such land are bothered less by mag
gots.
In the Grand Rapids district OF Mich
igan some report the acreage under
onions as a third larger than last sea-
son. There is believed to be a slight re-
duction in Muskegon county, as the en-
largement in the peppermint acreage
is encroaching somewhat on onions. In
the important trucking districts near
chicago the area devoted to onions Is
looming up about 10 per cent heavier
than last season.
A correspondent in wabasha county.
MINI, says the acreage is double that
or 1904. In some sections OF South Da-
kota there Is a slight restriction. but
this state is not important from a CON-
mercial standpoint. Our correspondent
In Larimer county. Colo, says growers
are going more extensively into onions.
While the acreage VIII be larger than
last year, it Will not be much above
normal.
Ohio generally promises a bigger
acreage New York reports vary some
what. Prices lend encoura cement. but
disastrous experiences with maggots
seem 20 have intimldated some. New
England, particularly the Connecticut
river valley, is experiencing quite a lit

DISTRICT CONSOLIDATION.
Results of This Policy Greatly Benef-
ciaI.

Several county superintendent os
schools have sent to the State Super
intendent reports on the effects and re-
forms of district consolidation. The
enrolment, average daily attendance
and number of teachers in each school
have greatly increased since consoli-
dation and the salaries of teachers
have also increased. The value of
school houses and equipment have
been augmented and exceedingly large
amounts have been raised by local tax
alton. The length of the school term
has doubled The school population
of the new districts is larger, and
scores of other benefits have resulted
Supt. W. III. Ragsdale, of Pitt coun-
ty, in writing of consolidation of dis
tricts in his county and his obserVa-
tons on it, said:
ut has had favorable effect on sur
rounding communities, and has en-
abled the teachers to grade and
classify the schools, whereas il was not
done before. l have noticed that it
creates some enthusiasm among the
grown people, IS well as the children
and enhances or creates a pride in
their school.
Thirteen small, weak districts in
Pitt county have been consolidated
into five strong districts"
A portion Of one of the new school
districts formed by consolidation has
written Mr.. Joyner, State Superintend-
emit as follows:
Parents are very proud Of the new
school-house, children are much more
eager 10 attend, neighboring districts
have become ambitious for good
schools, also, two Other houses very
similar to the Pleasant Hill house will
be dedicated this fall and other dis
tricts have voted the special tax and
are planning for better school build
ings the coming year. Many residents
OF this and other districts who were
strong opponents of the special tax.
and of the change of boundaries. have
been convinced by the results ana con-
verted into friends."

The Whole Story Now Appears to Have
Been a Hoax.

of the reported finding of Kenneth
Beasley in that city, says:
Nothing whatever is known of the
boy being in Norfolk by the police of
this city. A telegram was received
yesterday by 81 friend of the Beasleys,
asking if the rumor was true that their
missing son is in Norfolk. Chief of
Police Boush and Assistant Chief Dali
