WAR TOFIGHT
TUBERCULOSIS
Children of State Will Sell
Red Cross Christmas Seals
To Assist

This year Red Cross Christ
mas Seals are being sold by the
school children of Kansas. The
object is to spread education
about tuberculosis and at the
same time raise money to COM
bat it. The proceeds of the sale
of the Seals are devoted to car.
rying on the work. Hereafter,
on account of the fact that the
Seals have been sold only in the
cities and a few of the larger
town, the Kansas Association
for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis has been cramped
for funds. Nevertheless, a num-
Der of registered nurses have
been kept in the field, and the
annual death loss IN Kansas from
this disease has been reduced so
per cent in the last SIX years.
This year the State Association
conceived the plan OF having the
school children in every town,
village, and rural community of
the state sell the Seals, and at
the recent Teachers Association
meeting in Topeka the County
Superintendent unanimously
endorsed the suggestion and
pledged their support. The plan
is to have the Seals handled
through the various CITY and
county superintendents. The
Seals can be'had direct Isom the
State headquarters of the Kan
sas Association for the Study
and Prevention Of Tuberculosis,
Central National Bank Building,
Topeka. This is a worthy
movement and every body should
assist and encourage it.

tAiter'a tracrN has rheen burned
over. AT present, in some parts
OF the country, the late.sown
wheat IS being infested by Hes
sian f1ies that have developed in
and spread from volunteer
wheat. Late sowing can not be
expected to protect winter wheat
from attack in spring if volunteer
wheat has been permitted to grow
up either in nearby fields or
among the late.sow grain.
Grasshoppers lay millions of
eggs along the banks of canals
and bitches in the western coun-
try. Chincb bugs hibernate in
punches of broom sedge, and
many other destructive pests
could not endure the winter
were II not for these natural
nurseries.
The entomologists therefore
recommend to farmers that thew
faij-plow sod lands intended for
other than grass crops another
year and clear up roadsides,
fence margins, and all waste
lands, ditch banks, and similar
places by burning over, pastur-
ing, or in case of ditch banks by
plowing or disking in the fall.
This will tear up the roots and
expose the eggs of grasshoppers
to the excessive moisture and
cold OF winter and will also turn
up those insects which hibernate
IN the ground. Burning vegeta
ton where possible will DESTROY
many insects, though in the case
OF grasshoppers it proba bly, will
not be as effective as cultural
methods. In addition, cultural
methods by turning humus into
the soil benefits the land.

George A. Dean, entomologist in

Many wheat growers seem to
believe that the most important
method for the control of the
Hessian fly, is late sowing, says
Professor Dean. This is sim ply
one of the important steps in the
control of the fly. but it should
not be over emphasized. The
most important thing, and the
one that the experiment station
has always emphasized is the de-
sfruction of all volunteer wheat.
The entomologists of the Kan

Getting RID of grass, weeds,
and underground about the farm
during the fall and early winter
is one of the best protective
measures the farmer can use
against crop.damaging insects
the following year. Weeds,
matted grass, dead vegetation,
and BRAN bles along fences, road
sides, margins of fields, banks of
little streams or bitches, espec-
tally in irrigated territories, are
the natural alternating and often
breeding placas of many de-
structive insects. This vegeta-
tion gives grasshoppers, chinch
bugs, and other insects most
favorable conditions for reap
pearance the following spring
and summer. Similarly, volun-
tary growths ofwheat harbor the
Hessian fly; while stray alfalfa
plants in the fields and around
them may be the source of the

MORE ABOUT
GOOD ROADS
The County Commissioners
Have Excellent Plans In
Progress Now

For few days last week and
most of the week before, a few
of our citizen were pushing a
proposition to induce the board
of County Commissioners tore
consider the opening of the road
straight west from Meade &c
Plains.
For the benefit of our readers
we publish several facts regard
ing this road, which may not be
generally known.
Some time ago, perhaps year,
some one in Meade conceived the
idea that a road due west tc
Plains would be benefit, and d
petition to the Com missioners,
asking them to open the road,
was circulated here. About the
same time some one in Plains
had similar idea and a petition
was circulated there. Both Sc.
ured a number of signatures, for
TWO reasons: one, because nc
thought was given to the kind of
territory the road would pass
through, and the other, because
someone else did. In due time
the matter was presented to the
board. They viewed the route
proposed in the petitions, and,
believing they were acting in the
best interests of the people, or
der the road opened. They next
proceeded to get an estimate OF
what the grading and bridging
of the canyons would cost; the
landowners were duly notified TO
move their fences, and then
rhe bomb exploded.
A contractor for concrete and
steel bridges was present and
made an estimate of $1,000, but
no figures were given of The cost
of moving the bills and building
retaining walls. No estimate
was given as to the cost of main
tenance, which would depend en-
tirely upon weather conditions.
In the winter the cuts would be
filed with snow, and in rainy
weather there would be danger
of washouts, and in ordinary
weather the hills and fills would
be more or less dangerous for
heavily loaded wagons and for
cars.
The next grief-when fences
were moved D. E. Ballard's s pas
ture was in two sections, and all
the water was in the south halt;
the only route by which his cat
tie could get to it would be by
going under a bridge. This idea
failed to meet with Mr.. Ballard s
approval and a suit against the
County for damages followed.
When the cost of building the
road became known, many OF
those who had signed the Pc
titlon took a different view of the
matter, and by the next meeting
of the Board, we're present and
asked to have their names erased.
A com mittee was also present.
protesting against the building
OF the road. After hearing from
all parties concerned, the matter
was reconsidered-and dropped.
There is in the County Treas
ury, to be expended upon roads
construction mot maintenance
and machinery, approximately
$4,000. This money is raised
by the taxes of every land owner
in Meade county, and not by the
residents of any particular local
IN.

the 1altnful performance or their
duty, and to do what IN their
Judgment is for the best inter-
ests OF the people. The amount
OF money now on hand for the
construction of roads, would be
but bare beginning, were every
dollar of it expended on the road
straight west to Plains, which a
few of our public spirited ri
citizens would have the Com MISS
toner's establish. There would
not be one cent for the construct
ion OF roads IN other parts of the
county, this year or for several
years to come. Six, miles of the
road in question passes through
some OF the toughest territory
in the county, and would cost an
enor nous amount to build.
i he Commissioners had plan
ned to eSta blished an additional
one hundred fifty miles of coun-
ty roads. Two of these roads
have already been esta blisbed:
one connecting with the Gray
County line at Copeland, rum
ming sonth to the county line and
connecting with Forgan; the
other, starting at the Gray coun-
ty line, running south to Fowler.
west TO Leach's, and south to
Meade. The promised roads
are: the present road west, turn
ing north as now, passing south
of Missler, following the railroad
for few miles and into Plains;
Meade to Englewood; Meade
south into Odee township; Miss
Ter north to Montezuma. How
ever, these roads Could not be
established if the road west
through the hills was. Now the
question before the Com mission
ers was, would 1t be fair TO the
tax payers in other parts of the
county to sacrifice one hundred
| fifty miles of road to build six
miles. People living in one part
of the county are just as much
entitled to good roads as another.
The Commissioners are elected
by all the people, and it is their
duty to serve them.
Some argue that th1s west
road would be a benefit to Meade
for the reason that much of the
travel which now passes north
of Meade would come this way.
This is perhaps true, and we do
not want to be quoted as against
anything that is for the good of
Meade, but it must be remem-
bered that the County Com MISS
toner's represent the entire coun-
ty, and we dislike to see them
made breast-works behing which
to promote individual interests.
The bonded indebtedness of
Meade County is $4,000, upon
which is paid $4,000 per year
interest. Taxes at the present
time we believe are high enough
TO suit most of us, and il after
county roads within reason have
been esta blished, we have any
surplus cash to spend, we bad
better pay off some OF our bonds
rather than to invest it in a road |
which would be nothing less
than an everlasting expense ac-
count for the county. One thou
sand dollars and perhaps less,
on the present road
west will make 1t an ideal coun-
ty highway.
The County Com mlssloners
recently purchased $1,050 wor tb
of machinery and road work IN
the west part of the county is al
ready in progress. Each county
road will in turn be worked.
County Commissioners, like
all other public officials, do their
best work when they have the CO..
operation OF their constituents. |
1t is the duty of very resident of
every township in the county to.
