Of the three, the states furnishes almost two-thir- of the $525,000 neces-sary for the district to function properly. The federal government contributes a small two percent while the funds raised locally make up the baance. Federal Support of the Schools Federal money expended in Mil-lard county amounts to about $13, 000.00. This money comes through the George-Arde- n and Smith-Hugh- Acts to support vocational education in the amount of $6,000. The greater portion of this $6,000 is used in the vocational agricul-ture program, and the remainder is disbursed in the adult educa-to- n program. School lunches re-ceive about $7,000 annually from the federal government. They also reecive. however. anDroximatelv $3,000 to $4,000 in the form of commodities such as cheese, po-tatoes and canned goods. The veterans program in agri-culture in Millard county receives about $30,000 . from the govern-ment, which is used for supervis-ion and instructional salaries, ex-penses, supplies and clerical ser-vices. This money is not included in the budget of the district, as it is completely reimbursed from the government. State Support of Schools The state is the largest support-er of the school district. It furn-ishes approximately $358,000.00 or about 68 percent of the total bud-get. The primary source of this amount comes through the Uni-form School fund in the amount of $358,000.00 Through legislation passed in 1947, every district is able to pro-vide a minimum school program, which is interpreted by law as costing $3300 for every class-roo-unit of thirty elementary and twen ht high school students. This minimum program is financed by a state-wid- e taxing program, or a uniform school levy throughout Utah. The legislators, however, re-cognized that this amount would not adequately finance a school program in many districts and so therefore provided that an addi-tional 30 of the cost of the min-imum school program might be raised throug a local tax levy. The number of class-roo- units is de-termined by the number of stu-dents enrolled as well as the spe- - rial classification which some of the schools are given by the state, and there is also some considera-tion given for the administratie and supervisional direction of the schools. This latter is on the basis of one class-roo- unit for each full-tim- e director, and one-ha- lf class-room unit for each full-tim- e super-visor thereafter. One-thir- d class-room unit is also given for each full-tim- e agricultural teacher. The amount of $7500 is also dis-bursed by the state to support the school lunch program, and the state vocational education fund is added to the district's revenues in the amount of $600. The adult education program in the district receives $2700.00 from state and federal funds This con-stitutes 88 of the cost of the adult education program. This mon ey is used for teachers' salaries, teachers' mileage expenses, and a portion of the adult education di-rector's expenses. Local Support of the Schools As indicated in the paragraph above regarding the state uniform school fund, a portion of the fin-ances necessary for the operation and maintenance of the chool dis-trict may be raised by local taxa-tion. The amount raised in Millard county by taxation is $134,000.00 Sale of school lunch tickets to students averages $27,000.00 annu-ally. This is 60 of the cost of the school lunch program. An additional source, of funds is the rental of books and lockers in the high schools, which totals $3500.00. In the next article in this series, "Know Your School," we will dis-cuss the disbursement of the school budget. Farmers Censsis In South Utah Gets Under Way An important survey on the en-tire activities of the Utah farmers and the farmers of the nation will take place in April, V. Max Mof-fit- t, disrict supervisor of the 17th Decennial Census, announced to-day. Agriculture has been a major problem with our governing bodies for a long time and can only be coped with by honest and accurate answers on the census agriculture questionaire which will be sent to the farmer prior to April 1st. The questionaire confronting the farm-er is designed for his own benefit and cannot be used by any private or taxation group and that is pro-vided by law. We urge every farmer to really take time to go through his records and fill in exact information on this questionnaire. Some statistics derived from the 1945 agriculture census showed that more than one third of American farmers are 55 years old and more. Owner oper-ators average 52 years, while ten- - ant farmers average 43 years. Trends which will be brought out by this census include changes in the number of farms, amount of land devoted to agriculture and va lue of farm property. Every farm survey since 1920 has discovered a decrease in number of farms in the country, while the total acre-age in farm land has steadily in-creased. Accompanying these tr -- ends is the increased use of mech-anized equipment. However, 1920 farm census reported farms valued at sixty-si- x and one-thir- d billions while the 1945 census reported the total farm values had declined $33,600,000,000. The farmer must consider the facts. Agriculture is a major issue with our law makers and almost every plan that effects the busin-ess of farming begins with the data our census provides. Some of the vital things to be brought out in the census will be irrigation, drainage, grazing and soil conserv-ation. The Millard County Chronicle Published Every Thursday at.

Weathertight barn construction is essential to keep hay from get-ting wet after it has been stored. Leaky barn roofs can be with asphalt shingles, which not only provide sound shelter but make the roof resistant to flying sparks from brush fires and other outdoor blazes.
