years fall short of what in our estima-
| ton they should be, and,
Whereas, it has been ascertained that
| such shortage is due entirely to the fact
that the charges for maintainance. as
liked. by law, is only $500 per week.
which amount, at present prices for ali
| articles OF subsistence and for labor, is
| less than actual cost and totally mad
quate for the service given,
Therefore Be 1t Resolved, That it ia
the sense of this Board that an effort
should be made by all counties which
maintain such institutions, to have the
Legislature at its next session increase
the fixed charge for maintenance to
$3.50 per week, which amount we CON
slider fair and reasonable under present
conditions.
Resolved Further, That the members
of the Legislature from this Senatorial
and Assembly District be requested to
urge the legislation proposed at the
next session of the legislature.
Resolved Further, That the County
clerk be and is hereby instructed to
forthwith send copies of this resolution

Food for Man.

For many years farmers here and
there have had kaffir made into meal
at, their local mills and have used the
meal in making batter cakes and simi.
lar foods. More recently experiments
conducted comparatively by the Bu-
reau Of Plant Industry and the Kansas
State Agricultural College have shown
that the meal can be used In much
the same way as corn meal. Mixed
with wheat flour in suitable proper
tons It can be used very acceptably
In q great variety of dishes. This meal
is now regularly manufactured and
sold by one firm In the Southwest.
The kaflr grain can also be used as
pop corn.

fore termination takes place. or the
slow.growing young plants may be
choked by weeds. The result will be
a poor stand or. in extreme cases, no
stand at all. \
The date Of planting will depend
somewhat upon whether the crop is
grown principally for grain or as a
combined grain and forage crop. When
planted for grain production. the
stand should be thinner than In the
second case. It is believed that bet.
ter results are obtained where seeds
are dropped one at time at intervals

three or four kernels to a hill. On
the high plains Of northwestern Tex.
as one plant to each 8 or 9 inches OF
row space has given the best results
A slightly thicker seeding will be pos
sible at lower elevations and under
less severe conditions. The tendency,
however, is to plant the crop toe
thick, which results In q total failure
of grain in dry seasons. A thin stand
will produce an excellent yield Of
grain In q wet season, q good yield In
a normal season. and fair yield in
dry season.

Harvesting.

The crop is harvested by cutting
and shocking in the field, or by head
ing in the field. In the first case the
row binder is commonly used. Where
the crop is headed in the field II may
be done with the kafir header, the
grain header, or by hand.
