State Board of Education at Dover
Reveals Cost at S310,093.22

The cost of transporting school
children in Delaware during the
1889 school year averaged .187
per pupil per day, according to a
transportation report just issued
by the State Board of Education.
The report shows that 1888 chill
dren were transported on school
buses and that 1868 other chill
dren received allowances for pri-
vate transportation. The cost of
the transportation for the year to-
tailed S31O,O93.22, of which S258,-
14O.63 was paid for busses, $50
5O8.90 for private transportation
and 81 1,443.69 paid by the special
school districts for transportation
allowance The report shows that
the pupils were transported in
busses for an average of Isl days
during the school year and that
private transportation was paid for
an average of 143 days. The av-
erage cost per child transported
during the year was S2S.31. The
average cost per child for private
transportation for the year was
1862. An examination of the
figures reveals that SO more pupils
were carried during the year than
during the previous year. The in
crease in the cost of transportation
for the year over the previous year
was S7.791 81.

Five Detours Around Span Wreck
Show KirkWood Road is Shortest

In response to queries, the State

four detours around the st. Georg-
es area, the detours ranging from
% to % miles. One tour turns off
State Highway to Routes 40, fol-
lows this to Glasgow, then through
Middletown, returning to State
Highway above Blackbird. This is

bouts Corner, to Mt Pleasant, to
Boyd's Corner, and then to State

shortest detour is from DUPONT

through Red Lion and Kirkwood to
Summit Bridge, then straight
through Middletown to the inter
section north of Blackbird. This
route is % miles. Before the St.

KENT ALFALFA
SEEDING TIME

portunity to react with the soil.
Many failures of alfalfa are direct
| ly attributed to poor preparation
of the seed bed, as this crop re-
quires a firm soil which has been
pulverized on the surface to a
depth of about two inches. In some
instances land which has produced
crop of rye, barley OF wheat is
plowed and seeded to alfalfa the
same year the grain was harvest
ed, and under these conditions the
seed bed is likely to be loose and
dry, resulting in failure to obtain
a good stand of alfalfa except un-
der the most favorable weather
conditions AS alfalfa requires a
fertile soil, it is recommended that
an application of 400 to 500 pounds
per acre of a 2-8-10 fertilizer be
made at seeding time. There are
several strains and varieties of al
falfa seed on the market, but these
strains OF common alfalfa seed
from Idaho, Utah, Montana and
adjacent territory having an equal
ly rigorous climate, are recon-
mended as being the best adapted
to our Delaware soils. The usual
rate of seeding is from 20 to 30
pounds per acre. depending upon
the fertility Of the land Alfalfa
plants spread very little before the
first winter, and for this reason an
even distribution of plants is de-
sirable as means of holding
weeds in check and securing a
more uniform stand for hay pro-
duction the following year.
