PLAN FOR CITY GARDENS
Seeds Are Ready For Free Distribu-
ton to Citizens of Topeka.


Already plans are under way for the
utilization of all vacant ground in 10
peka for gardens. The city park de-
partment under the direction OF Com
missioner Robert d. McGiffert has sent
letters to the owners of vacant lots
asking that the lots be put into gar
dens, free of charge to the gardeners
on condition that the weeds be kept
down by the one who plants the gar
den.
Seeds are ready for distribution free
of charge at the city park department
in the city building. One thousand
contracts to be signed by the owner of
the lot and the gardener have been
prepared and six hundred additional
contracts will be issued. In other years
the city has not been able to supply
the demand for such gardening space.
but this year hopes to be able to find
space for a garden for everyone who
wants it. The city has directed the
cultivating OF vacant lots in the city

ASKING A CHANGE

Continued from Page One.)
amendments which they regard as
more important, and under the con-
stitution's terms, not more than three
amendments to the state constitution
may be submitted at any one general
election.
Kelly pointed out that a statute
could be passed which would provide
for the appointment of the commis-
sioner by the present state board of
education, and which would give that
commissioner all the powers and re-
sponsibilities and control of all the
machinery now held by the state sup
erintendent, leaving that person with
= nothing much but a title and a pay
check, and putting the educational sys-
tenn of the state in the hands of some
one chosen for their professional eX-
pertness. 9daho and Wyoming had
followed this procedure. Kelly pointed
out.
Miss Wooster rose Immediately and
pointed out that the educational COM
miSsioner-of these states draw less sal
airy than the state superintendents, and
that in Idaho at least, the job of the
commissioner is the same as that of
the secretary of the state board of
education in Kansas.
Urges Educational Commissioner.
The appointment of the state edu-
cational commissioner is the key of
Inc enLTe SlIudllOl III
Kansas" Kelly declared. without it,
we cannot hope to make any progress.
One of the things which has kept Kan
saS from forging ahead in the past is
the fact that we refuse to compare
ourselves with other leading states.
We are content to try to keep ahead
of Arkansas, instead of refusing to be
beaten by any state in the Union"
The reorganization of the state de-
partment which the teachers are de-
manding must be accomplished with
out reference to any incumbent, past
or present, of the office of state super
intendent, Kelly declared
Ask More Authority.
More authority for the state depart
ment of education as well as more re-
sponsibility, is urged by the teachers.
The removal of the states educa-
tioual machinery from interference
with the voters of the state, swayed
by partisan sentiment, is the biggest
thing ahead of the teachers, and the
thing upon which they have been in
sisting with the greatest urgency. thru
out the meetings Of the two councils
in Topeka.
First the state superintendent office
and then the county superintendent
must be made appointive and on the
basis of professional efficiency, is the
cry of the teachers and they regret
that both cannot be attained at the
present time.
Following the address of Dean KEEL
w the teachers council selected the
committee which is to arrange the
program for their next years meeting,
and then proceed to a general discus
sion of the situation.

Washington, July 13.-Represen-
tatives of Maryland and Virginia, III
conference today with officials OF the
Bureau of Fisheries, reached an
agreement under which Virginia is
TO give protection TO the crabolng
industry which, it is hoped, Will De
sufficient and end the long dispute
between the two States.
The agreement provides:
That the winter dredging season
in Virginia waters of the Chesa-
pcake Bay shall be the four months
from December to March 81 instead
of the six months from November L
10 May l.
That Virginia shall protect the
sponge, or female, crab the Whole
year, instead Of only in July and
August. Maryland now has CRAB
conservation laws that protect the
sEOnge crab the entire year.
Soft Crabs Protected
That both States shall protect
peelers of 3 inches or less and sou
crabs ~ inches or less. Virginia
now has no crab laws. Maryland
has a law protecting soft crabs OF 5
tl.cuSS OI 1cSS.
Since the passage of crab conser-
yation laws in Maryland seVerai
years ago the Maryland authorizes
and sea food people have been work
ing TO have Virginia pass slmilar
laws. They have contended that the
effect of the Maryland laws was
largely nullified by the lack OF taWs
in Virginia and that the grabbing IN
dustry was being ruined largely pe-
cause of the dredging in the winter
months. which caused wholesale. de-
,.,ructiOn of the female crabs.
The matter was brought up IN sthe
recent fisheries conference, presided
over bv Secretary of Commerce
Hoover. and there was talk OF an ef-
fort to pass Federal migratory
fish bill to give, protection to the
crabs and other seafoods. Flnally
an agreement was reached, upnel
which the Federal Bureau OF FISH
cries was to act virtually as arblerat-
or between the two States. Ine
