IN SCHOOL AID.

Malan Asks State Pay - 90% of Teacher Salary Minimum.

* A recommendation that the state pay 90 per cent of the minimum salaries of all public school teachers has been made to the Indiana board of finance by Dr. C. T. Malan, state superintendent of public instruction. } The law now" requires the finance board to pay at least 80 per cent of the minimum salaries and gives the board the right to pay more, if it chooses. In a letter to State Auditor Richard T. James, a member of the finance board, Dr. Malan said that the payment by the state of 90 per cent of the minimum salaries would “avoid exorbitant local tax assessments and at the same time maintain . © minimum — standards ' for schools.” a 3 Million Dollar Increase The cost to the state in paying 80 per cent of the minimum salaries would be $19,836,992, Dr. Malan said, and the cost of paying 90 per cent would be $22,978,000. “With the teachers’ minimum wage law mandating increases in salaries and with other increased costs in our schools, school corporations in general face a financial problem,” the state superintendent said. “The situation is serious even for the ‘state aid corporations which have depended upon state assistance to enable themi to maintain minimum school standards. State aid costs under the new law have incréased about $720,000.

Air Attacks Continue for 5th Day; Enemy Cargo Vessel Hit.

By UNITED PRESS Gen. MacArthur's air force today reported strong attacks on Japanese New Guinea poBitions for the fifth straight day while the enemy made boastful but unverified claims of air raids throughout the Pacific. Allied aircraft, supporting ground, forces working along the northeast New Guinea coast, raided enemy positions from Mubo to Wewak yesterday, and, in the Arafura sea north of Australia, a bomber hit squarely one of two 4000-ton enemy cargo vessels. Berlin broadcasts of Japanese dispatches told of heavy air and land reinforcements on New Guinea and said “the Japanese will extend their position on this island.” They also spoke of an unconfirmed raid on Australia in which an Australian destroyer and a freighter were claimed sunk. A Chinese central news agency dispatch said the Japanese sent 27 planes over Yunnanyi, near Kunming, in a raid yesterday. Other German broadcasts of Japanese dispatches reported Japanese air raids Monday on Chittagong and Calcutta. The Japanese were said to have set two Calcutta ammunition plants on fire and destroyed planes on British airfields, shooting down 17 other aircraft in combat. At Chittagong, nine British planes were claimed destroyed on the ground.

Parsnips and salsify are root crops requiring the same cultivation and the whole growing season for development. Due to their similarity, they should be planted in adjacent rows in the garden. ; Both crops have long slender tap roots which fail to develop normally

in poorly prepared or heavy soil.

Deep, loose, fertile soil is best. The

seeds should go in the ground by the first part of May. Varieties recom-

layer of leaves in late fall and held

in place by boards or a covering of

dirt, the soil may be kept from freezing so that the kitchen supply may be easily spaded when needed. All roots left out in the winter should be dug before they start growing in the spring. These also may be stored where it is cool and

kept in condition so that the season.

Easy to Grow.

The crop is comparatively easy to raise, being almost free from disease and insect attacks. Because

salsify requires a long growing season, it should be in the ground by May 1. Plant seeds one-half inch apart in a shallow trench and cover with just one inch of soil After covering the seed, press the soil to firm is by walking down the row. Fifteen or 20 feet of row may be planted from one packet of seed. Thin the plants to stand about four inches apart in the row. Mam~ moth Sandwich Island is the variety recommended. Salsify, like parsnips, can be left in the garden all winter, Cover the same as parsnips.
