sary.
After irritation has set in, and
small red spots appear, the appli-
cation of a moderately strong solu-
ton Of ammonia to the affected
parts is recommended by the fed

tomologists. A supersaturated solu-
ton of bicarbonate Of soda, or COM

afford relief. Liberal applications

GRAVEL ROADS ARE POPULAR
such Highways Have Proved Sue
cessful in Grant Township

The gravel road bed for bottom
land roads has proved so successful
where it is on trial on the highway
south to Buckeye river bridge that
Grant township has constructed an
other similar road for a distance of
three fourths of mile south from
the Santa Fe tracks, on the road
which is known as Washington street
in the city corporation. Gravel from
the Dyer pits was used and a strip
16 feet wide or the crown OF the
right of way was filled to a depth
of IL inches.
This is particularly bad strip Of
road during any rainy season, and
one where the bottom really does
drop out as it is difficult to prop
erly drain it.
This will leave stretch of road
a trifle over a block long within the
city limits, uncared for and 1t is
probable that the city will repair it
similarly using the sand-clay from
the Hilton place as it is used on the
Golden Belt west from the Santa Fe
railroad.

JOHN MCDONALD WOULD
HAVE SPANISH IN SCHOOLS

John Mcdonald, veteran editor of
the Western School Journal, has
started a campaign to have Spanish
taught in all Kansas grade schools.
He would have Spanish offered as
early as the seventh grade, and re-
quire all high schools in the state
to offer optional courses in Spanish.
The Spanish language is, next to
English, the most used language in
the western hemisphere, Macdonald
points out, and in view of the close
trade and other relations between
the United States and Central and
South America in the next few de-
cades, every American school child
should be given the opportunity Of
learning TO speak Spanish.

CAR OWNERS MUST BUY TAGS
AT HOME SAYS BREWSTER

Automobile owners in Kansas
must register their motor vehrcie
licenses in the county Sent of the
county where they reside, according
to an opinion given by S. NJ. Brews-
ter, attorney general. Several in
stances had been found where own
ers went to other county seats to
take out licenses, because they were
closer than their home county
seats.
In Ottawa county recently the
sheriff arrested two car owners, for
not taking out licenses from their
own county court house. In another
county a number of motorists were
sore at their county officials and
gave their business" to officers in
another county. The bulk OF the S.
license fee goes into county road
fund. SO the home county in each
instance was the loser.

WANTS RURAL PAYMENTS
rs Per Cent Favor Hard Surfaced
Roads According TO Mohler

]. G. Mohler in his address before
the Abilene Business Mems associa-
ton, quoted some statistics very
significant and exemplifying the
present day trend of opinion toward
hard surfaced roads for rural high
ways. Seventy-five per cent of the
people of the state who are really
interested in such Improvements fla
vor them. According to his figures
from inquiries which he made in
this county, Dickinson county splits
even, fifty per cent for and fifty
against.
In order to determine the status
of opinion of the people Of Kansas
on this momentous problem, which
it is going to have to face, he sent
enquiries to two thousand persons.
OF those answering, 100 favored
hard surfaced roads, Psi were OPP
posed and IS were on the fence and
had no definite answer. In this
county four we're in the states ma
jority and four against. One pecul-
lar thing brought out was that the
counties that had the poorest dirt
roads were in the majority opposed
to macadamized or paved country
roads. OF the state, 10 counties were
in the majority and favored such
improvements, in IA the voters
broke even and in ~ the greatest
number were content with roads Of
the kind where the bottom drops
out during certain seasons Of the
year.

COOPERATE TO CONTROL FLY
Demonstrate That Hessian Fly Can
Be Eradicated

Nothing can be done to control
the Hessian fly before harvest, but
the farmer should keep in touch
with the situation, and Immediately
after harvest start to put into prac-
tice the methods of control that
have been found to be practical and
effective" says j. w. McCulloch OF
the agronomy department Kansas
State Agricultural college.
"The stubble should de disked
Immediately afterf harvest. This
starts the growth Of volunteer wheat
and tends to bring an early emer-
gence of the fly. Three or four
weeks after disking the ground
should be plowed at least six inches
deep and all volunteer wheat and
stubble buried. This will also bury
practically all the flies"
The agronomy department has
shown that where the ground IS pre-
pared in this manner it not only
produces maximum yields, but that
the crop may be planted with safe
ty later in the season.
The sowing of the crop should
be delayed until the fly-free date
which the entomology department
will furnish any farmer for his par
ticular section of the state. To OBJ
tain the best results in controlling
the Hessian fly farmers should CO.
operate in fighting the insects.
That many farmers are success
full in preventing serious damage by
the Hessian fly is well illustrated in
the eastern part of Mcpherson
county and the western part Of
Marion county this year. In this sec
4ion the control measures advocated
on the "Hessian fly special con-
Quoted by the agricultural college
in cooperation with the Santa Fe
railway company in June, 1915, were
put into effect by the majority OF
the farmers.

respects where we see oppor-

that we specialize In only one
