The Bond Election.

By vote of little over three to one
the people of School District No. l
voted to authorize bond issue of $780,
600. for the erection of new school
building It is a gratifying fact that
neither political nor religious issues
entered into the campaign.
It is hopeful sign that these ques-
tions are ignored and civic issues are
decided purely upon their merits
The legality of the call was question
ed but the Attorney General has decid-
ed that the call was entirely legal and
that, if the issue is regular in other
particulars, the bonds will be register
ed
AS only a majority of those voting is
necessary to authorize bond Issue and
since the majority for the bonds was
three to one, there seems to be nothing
in the way of the Board going ahead
at once and carrying out the will of the
people.

fly, that viii amount to anything as
with the grasshoppers, it is necessary
for all the farmers in the county to CO.
operate In the work.
The Department of Entomology OF
the Agricultural college has found that
the most effective means Of control for
the Hessian fly is TO disc the field as
soon as possible after harvest in order
to start all volunteer wheat, then plow
a good depth, at least four inches when
the volunteer is started and this viii
bury the infested stubble so that but
very few If any of the flies will ever
get 70 the surface.
The main thing now is for every
farmer in the county toSwatch the de-
velopment of the fly as the season ad-
vances and be prepared for united &C
ton after harvest. The present indica-
tons are that there will be need for
such united measures.

The Hessian Fly Situated in West Cen
traI Kansas.

CTal Kansas.
For at least the last two years the
Hessian fly has been rapidly spreading
over western Kansas and is now found
in counties where it was previously un-
known, says W. A. Boys, District Ag-
ricultural Agent. This spriag we have
observed the fly as far west as Oakley.
So far as our observations have gone
the infestation west of Ellis and Rocks
counties is rather light and but little
damage is indicated.
Within the past two weeks two trips
of investigation have been made In
company with a number of farmers,
business and experiment station men
to ascertain the present situation in re-
gard to the fly in Rocks and Ellis eoun-
ties. In all thirty farms were visited
and over one hundred miles of territory
covered. Every field visited was found
to be infested to greater or less de-
gree either with the ''f1ax seed" or
eggs.
The damage in a few fields Will doubt
less be sufficient to warrant blowing or
listing them up and seeding to some
spring crop. The infestation is greater
in the east half of both counties than in
the west half.
Investigations made the first week In
April revealed the fact that many eggs
had already been laid and with the con-
tinuation of favorable conditions there
will doubtless be second brood of flies
before harvest.
There is little that can be done now
to control the Hessian fly. If field is
so badly infested that it will not pay to
cut, 1t would be advisable to list it to
some rowed crop as kafir or milo. Su-
dan grass viii give an Iexcellent hay
crop.
Only a very few farmers in Ellis
county were aware OF the possible dan
ger of injury from the fly to the wheat
crop last summer. This men did what
they could to combat the pest but with
little effect Their fields were rapidly
infested from surrounding fields that
were untreated.

The Kansas State Agricultural col
lege through the Hays Branch Expert
ment Station and other means has done
much toward advancing the live stock
and general farm interests of Ellis and
surrounding counties.
Through agricultural and extension
courses, and cooperative work with
the Hays Normal school, the college
has come into close relationship with
the farmers, giving them the reports
of investigational work, methods of
seed-bed preparation and information
on crops their farms are best suited to
grow, and has taught chem the best
combination of time, labor, and money
Through the Hays Branch Experiment
Station it has brought this work home
to them. They have seen the ideas
put into actual practice.
1t is doubtful if the people of Ellis
county fully realize the value of the
Experiment Station to the community.
1t is one of the largest stations of the
kind in the world and the results of its
work are circulated to all parts of the
country. Investigational work on the
wintering of beef cattle and the best
adaptations for sorghums will add much
to the enlightenment of the farmers of
Ellis county. A few years ago work
was started on building up dairy herd
from grade cows. The original animals
had yearly production of 10 pounds
of b1ltterfat while the herd now aver
ages over 300 pounds a year.
