PROTEST
AGAINST
SCHOOL
Committees Representing
Strong Organizations OBJ
iect to Parental School and
Purchase of Farm = They
Give Their Reasons.

Two committees on representing the
Catholic Mems League of Gary and
the other representing the men of the
Tolleston Evangelical Lutheran church
appeared before the Gary board of
education last night at its special meet
ing and protested against the estab :
lishment of a parental school and the
purchase of a parental school farm.
Court Fight robabie.
However, the board took no action
regarding the school last night but il
is quite evident that 1t will do so very
shortly and the probabilities are that
the school board and the committees
are going to fight it out in the courts
as the latter are considering the propo-
sition of getting out an injunction TO
stop the board from starting this reform
school as the project was denominated
by those who filed the protests
Rev. August Rump was chairman of
the Tolleston committee which also in
cluded Frank Kurth, Martin. Ralph
and Herman Rutz. The Catholic Men, 5
league committee (Holy Angels
church) was headed by William -
Crolius and was made up of j. p
Breuahan. F. j. Cortina, Edward
Steinhegen and others.
Pointed Out Unvise Move.
Speakers from both committees con-
tended that the board has no right tC
start the school and that it is within
the province of Judge w. c. McMahar
only to hold Juvenile court.
1t was also cited that the step would
be unwise at this time in view of ths
fact that hundred of Gary school chill
dren are now housed in portable schoo
buildings because the board has no
enough permanent buildings at thi!
time to take care OF them-
1t was learned that the Dune Parl
farm of 16o acres which the board in
tended to purchase and which is sais
to be owned by Ex-Mayor A. f. Knott,
of Hammond may not be available
Next week the board ay look over an
other farm.

Crous hesea agSregadng millions
Of dollars OCCUR annually throughout
The United staAes due TO lack OF en-
oaent weed control. Immense areas
ars infected with veels to an extent
that makes 1t very advisable to carry
on q determined warfare to eradicate
them. For many years those inter
ested IN scientific and permanent asrl:
si,turo have considered the menace OF
weeds and have issued warnings
AGAINST them. This early work dealt
almost wholly with preventive meas
usss, largely along the line OF SEED IN
mect1on to insure clean seed.
Farmers on the virgin soils OF the
t]uited States where weeds were not
numesous were inclined to ridicule tue
idea that they could ever become seri'
ouely troublesome. The fears OF the
sc,ent1sts have been realized, how
ever, and there are now many FARMS
In this country which have been apan'
doned because the weeds have multi
plisd and spread 80 rapidly that tho
farmer has become discouraged and
siyen up IN despair. Noxious weeds
are spreading at rate which mas
alarmed those who are acquainted
with the seriousness Of tho situation.
There are many farms where 20 per
cent. Of the crop producing capacity
has been destroyed by weeds. There
IL q great necessity Of some con-
oexted action for weed control and
eradication with respect to two OF tho
most Widespread and serious weed
pssts.
The Worst Weeds.
While there are many weeds which
arc proving troublesome on farms.
there are two which are prominently
noxtous. particularly In Wisconsin
and tho north central states. viz:
Ouack grass and Canada thistles.
These weeds are extSemely difficult to
eradicate because of their peculiar
nature and habits.
Wild mustard has become a serious
pest in the grain fields Of many
states. and in some sections is get
ting beyond the control Of farmers
using ordinary methods Of eradication.
Land values have deteriorated where
tho folds have become thickly seeded
to mustard. Considerable effort has
been expended by farmers in pulling
the mustard plants when In full bloom
at q time when tho weed could be
easily recognized In the grain fields,
but when fields became badly infested
this was a laborious task, and often
was done at the expense Of one-half
or more Of the crop.
Other weeds which are especially
obnoxious are the Sow thistle. Star
thistle, English plantain, O1-eye daisy.
Toad max. Dodder and Velvet leaf.
and in many sections other weeds are
serious.
