1922 Tuition Grants Seen For County
Minimum State
Aid For Publ
Schools S3S,191

II a private school were organized
in Prince Edward County, how
much would be the tuition grant
to each pupil attending the private
school2 According to figures re-
leased BY the State Department of
Education the total tuition grant
per pupil would be approximately
1882. The state would provide $121
Of this amount and the locality
would be required to provide at
least SIP.
If Prince Edward County went
out of the public school business
entirely then tuition grants from
the state would be approximately
S12l times the number of students,
which is roughly 3,l00 This would
amount to approximately 1915, 100.
The amount of state aid anticipated
for the public schools in the county
this coming session is 1873 IT'S. Thus
the figures are very nearly the
same.
In addition to the tuition grants
the State Of Virginia would have to
pay $50, l9l to operate some sem
blance Of an elementary public
school in the county. This is the
minimum amount the state may
appropriate under the constitution
for public schools in Prince Edward
County
The amount of the tuition grant
is $3.50 or the actual cost of public
school operation per pupil, if that
is less than $3.50.

Farmers Must Pay Tax
On Bulk Milk Coolers

Ohio farmers today prepared
to see a higher authority about
whether they have to pay sales
tax on bulk milk coolers pur-
chased any time in the last four
years.
State Tax Commissioner Stan
ley Bowers, following a hearing
before the Tax Departments
Hearing Board, has ruled that
farmers must pay the tax" Nor
ris E. Alton, director of Public
Affairs for the Ohio Farm Bur
eau Federation declared.
The ruling, Alton pointed out,
contradicts farmers contentious
that bulk milk coolers and water
heaters to clean the coolers are
necessary to produce healthy
milk. Without these steps, he
indicated, dangerous bacteria
would endanger the health OF
consumers of dairy products.
"This is only the first round
Alton said. 1--WE still contend
that bulk milk coolers are not
merely storage tanks, but vital
steps in milk production. Farm
Bureau will take the farmers
case to the state board OF tax
appeals and on to the Ohio
supreme court, if necessary"

Judges Salaries
Will Be Increased

Both Senate and the House O.
Representatives at Columbus
have approved a measure which
will increase salaries of Supreme
and Appellate Judges and the
Common Pleas and Probate
Judges of all Ohio counties,
$4,000 per annum.
While the governor has not,
to date, approved the increase,
he is said to be favorable and is
expected to sign the bill. The
raise will apply only to those
jurists commencing a new term
of office after their next cleo
ton.
The bill also would place a
$4,000 floor on the amount of
county contributes towards COM
mon pleas and probate judges,
salaries. This would assure every
one Of these judges a salary OF
$4,000 at least. A senator from
Cleveland said the new floor
provisions will require six small
counties to contribute additional
amounts to bring their contribu
tons to $4,000.
The largest would be Vintoi
county, which would have t
increase its share $708.92. Othe
counties affected would be Noble
Pike, Paulding, Monroe and MOI
gan. The bill would cost tn
state an additional $158,000.

A Good Lawn soon to be issued,
DR.. Nelson explains the effects
of lime on soils and plants. He
defines exactly what lime is,
how soils become acid, why an
acid soil needs lime.
Relating how lime is the "wo%
horse in the soil, DR.. Nelson
says, Lime not only ~corrects the
acid in your soil, but it also sup
plies calcium and magnesium,
makes phosphorus more avail
able, speeds up rotting of dead
plant material in the soil, and
reduces teaching of potassium by
rain"
He emphasizes that the only
way to find out if lime is
needed is to have your soil
tested and secure recommended
tons for the plants you plan
to grow Most soil testing labs
will report how acid your soil is
in terms of PHI. What does PHI
mean?
This PHI scale" DR.. Nelson
explains, tells how acid or
alkaline your soil is in much the
same way numbers of a thermo-
meter show heat or cold. Fol-
example, a PHI of TO is neutral.
Values downward from pH &c
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1959-07-30

show increasing acidity. Values
upward from PHI 10 show in
creasing alkalinity. A soil with
a PHI As is much more acid, than
one with PHI 60"
The amount of clay and organic
matter in your soil helps deter
mine the lime need at a given
pH-that is, a sandy loan soil
testing PHI SIS needs less lime
than a clay loan soil testing PHI
SIS. The testing lab takes that
into consideration.
DR.. Nelson concludes his lining
pointers by explaining where
the lawn grower car get lime,
how to apply it on new lawns
and gardens as we'll as establish
ed lawns and shrub areas. Of the
few plants that required acid
soils, he lists the Irish potato,
watermelon, BURBERRY, azalea,
camellia, gardenia, and rhodo-
dendron.

from the tips of the fruit, thus
causing the trouble.
Irrigating to maintain uniform
soil moisture, avoiding excessive
use of nitrogen fertilizers, and
eliminating frequent deep cult

problem, Wittmeyer says. Some
times when soils I inadequa-

problem will be more severe. In
some areas growers have sue
ceeded in reducing blossom end
rot by spraying with a calcium
solution, but this practice needs
further testing in Ohio before it
can be recommended, Wittmeyer
says. He also points out that
mulching may help reduce the
problem.
