STATE AID FOR SCHOOL coNsoL
IDATIoN.

Nineteen states are Convinced that
the consolidated school is the best
kind of a school for country children
and have enacted laws providing state
aid to encourage communities to cen
tralize their schools. These I9 states
are: Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Maine,
Michigan, Minnesota. Missouri, Neb-
raska, North Dakota. Oklahoma, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, South Carol
ina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,
Vermont, West Virginia, and Wiscon
sin. The laws usually provide that
consolidated school districts receive
aid from the state if they Iheet Ger
tain prescribed standards relating to
school terms, qualified teachers, adel
quate buildings and equipment. State
aid for transportation of pupils seems
to be the most popular way of en-
couraging consolidation of schools.
That the idea of state aid for consolt
dation of schools is popular with the
people is evinced by the fact that moss
of the laws in the 10 states have been
enacted within the last ten years and
that there has been tendAaey to IN
crease the appropriations iuaiA states
where it has been tried.
Leaders in rural education who an
tended the recent national meeting Of
educators at Cleveland, Ohio, were ap-
parently unanimous in the opinion
that improved methods of administra
ton and support are necessary in or
der to have good schools for rural
children and that new sources of rev
snue must be found without increasing

LOOK OUT FOR BAD ALFALFA
SEED

Several large importations of alfal-
fa seed are being dispersed in this
country. 1t is entirely possible that
some of this alfalfa which is "Turke-
stan'' will reach Idaho, says c. B.
Allison, field agronomist and state
seed commissioner
This variety is not suited for the
intermountain country. 1t is slow in
making growth after the first cutting
and does not yield with the native
grown common or Grimm. The lor
of the seed is dull and has light
brown tinge.
Aside from the variety the weed
content is most Objectionable. Rus
sian KNAPP weed is invariably found
IN the "Turkestan" alfalfa. The seed
is ivory in color almost the size of a
bull thistle seed The weed is a per-
ennial and as persistent as the Canada
thistle or morning glory.
In 1920 there were 100 carloads OF
Turkestan alfalfa which reached the
Pacific coast
Timely publicity checked the sale
of this seed in idaho.

cross formed the center of the group

the cross while the lights were put out
