SCHOOL BOARD IS
GIVEN MORE MONEY
TAX COMMISSION ALLOWS
ADDITIONAL LEVY.
Several New School Houses Are
To Be Constructed and Pres
ent Buildings To Receive
Needed Repairs.

The Colorado tax commission this
week authorized the Denver school dis
trict to increase its levy for the COM
ing year to raise approximately $780,
900 more than the 1917 budget. The
school board asked for an increase of
| S714,750. The commission, after hear
/ ing the several phases of the situation,
granted levy to bring 81 ,439 ,092, as
against s1,612, 1866 desired by the
sents the special fund allowance, and
will go toward new buildings and i'm
provements, as well as to meet pay roll
increases and the increased cost of
materials
The limit of 1,439 ,o92s4 placed by
the commission for special fund re-
turns means that there will be a levy
increase over last year of approx
mately / 4 mills. The school board
requested an increase of 1.S6 mills.
! Altho the program outlined by the
school board will be curtailed, it is un-
derstood that several new schools are
to be erected and improvements car
ried forward in others. The slight in
crease in the teachers retirement
fund, the special fund increase and the
s47, $50 increase in the general county
I fund for school because of higher
property valuation are included in the
program. The increase for the fiscal
year beginning Dec. l in the special
and teachers retirement funds
amounts to s533, ,756.1S more than last
year, according to the tax commission
er's figures.
Contemplated in the program for
the coming year is the construction of
four-story building at Thirteenth
and Welton to replace the Opportunity
school and to low for administration
offices of the school district. The cost
of this building is estimated at $50 900.
The trades schools at present 10
Gated in other buildings probably will
be centered in this new building.
A new school in South Denver to
replace the Fleming school, thereby re-
lieving the congestion in the Grant
school, is contemplated. The exact
location has not yet been determined.

Winter Wheat In IdnhO.

The wheat producing area OF Idaho
may be roughly classed in three di-
visions: /. the dry farm sections OF
southern Idaho; 2, the irrigated sec
tions IL southern Idaho; 3, the sub
humid sections In the northern por-
tion of the state. Winter wheat is
very we'll adapted to sections l and
3. but not so we'll adapted to the ir-
rigated sections. Under most condi-
tions spring wheat is better than
winter wheat for the irrigated farm.
Wheat requires a firm and com
pact seed bed and thorough prepara-
tion of the soil is essential for good
crop.
In the dry farm sections summer
following is necessary and wheat
should he sown on land which has
been plcwed In the spring and given
good cultivation during the summer.
In the northern counties of the
state wheat should be sown on a
well-worked summer fallow or upon
land which has been cropped to beans
the summer has not been too dry,
Will. with thorough discing. give a
good seed bed II after the beans or
peas have been removed. the ground
is too dry for discing to do much
good, II will be necessary to wait for
fall rains. Then disc or plow the
bean or pea ground. DO not plow too
decply-slx inches IS sufficient. Al
ter plowing. disc ana harrow 30 as to
make Il compact seed bed.
On the irrigated farms, winter
wheat may follow crop OF wheat or
some cultivated crop. but as before
stated. II is usually better to SOW
spring wheat. Thorough disc!ng af-
ter a cultivated crop will make a
good seed bed for fall planting. II a
grain crop has been removed, disc
the stubble. plow. not too deeply. and
then disc and harrow. Allow as
much time as possible before plant
ing for seed bed to settle.
