LIKE CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS
Plan Grows in Popularity In West
ern Kansas

A consolidated school is gaining
popularity in western Kansas. With
in the past two years fifty consoli-
dation projects have been erected
most of them including a new mod
ern school building with courses OF
study much in advance Of the IN
dividual schools.
Gov. H. ]. Allen and party OF
educators this month will dedicate
four consolidated school buildings
and will visit seven other points
where the consolidation OF districts
is either under way or recently ac-
complished. The school building pro-
gram in these eleven districts repre-
sents more than 81 100000, ranging
from $4,000 to $225,O0O each.
In the consolidation projects, the
new district, composed Of three to
five rural districts, averages about
ten miles square. The pupils are
transported to school and nome
again by motor busses. The school
buildings also serve as community
centers for the entire district Most
of them have added high schoool
courses.
In Dickinson county there are bu'
two consolidated schools and those
were formed when the movement 1oi
consolidation still was new.

HOGS RELISH JUNE BUG DIET
Reno County Farmers Plan to Feed
Them This Year

Feed your June bugs to the
hogs" is the slogan adopted by
neighbOrhood Of afrmers in Reno
county. The June bug, sometimes
called May beetle, earlier III lts
career, is troublesome white grub.
1t is very common and does much
damage in wheat fields and tame
pastures.
1t takes three years for the grub to
mature and during this time It Is
feeding upon the roots OF crops.
Many of them can be killed by plow-
ing or cultivation when they become
too bad, but even then they destroy
the crops.
Hogs delight in roofing for this
grub. In many cases where wheat
was killed by them this year, hogs
were turned in. They completely
overturned the field and devOured the

PLANTING TIME VARIES
But Corn Planting Season Is Near
In Kansas

The time to plant corn In Kansas
varies with the season and LOCALITY.
The growing season In southern
Kansas is from two to three weeks
earlier than in northern Kansas. In
the western section altitude is FAC
tor causing a later date in planting
Under average conditions there Is
period of about three weeks dur
ing which corn may be planted with
equal chances of success. In the
northeastern part of the state the
best time to plant is from May 1 TO
Nav 20. In southern Kansas most
of the corn should be planted In the
last three weeks Of April. Another
rule to follow Is when the ground
becomes sufficiently warm to start
the leaves on the deep rooted trees
then it is time to plant corn.

SOME USE FOR LUXURY TAX
Helps to Build Good Roads Says En-
gineer Watson

There Is one beneficial result from
the enormous yearly expenditure OF
the United States for so-called lux
uries," according to NJ. w. Watson,
state highway engineer. 1t is from
collections derived from taxes on
such articles that II portion of the
funds for federal aid road work Is
obtained. A large percentage Of the
federal aid funds, however, come
from income and profit taxes, ac-
cording to Watson.
The fact that the federal aid funds
are obtained from taxes on distilled
spirits, tObaccos, and income and pro-
fits taxes is shown by report Of the
Commissioner of Intenal Revenue.
