Grasses For Flat Lands.

NICK. johnson, Suverdale, Tenn,
writes: I wish to seed for grazing
some fiat land. growth pine, post-oak
and black Jack; will grow fifteen to
twenty bushels Of corn per acre. What
grasses would you recommend and
how much per acre Of each.
The mixture of grass most likely to
succeed on the land described in your
letter would be tall oat grass ten
pounds, orchard grass five pounds, and
red top five pounds; yon might also
add five pounds Of white clover. Pre-
pare the land carefully, enriching we'll
with coating Of farmyard manure IL
you have 1t. If not, apply a CONNER
cial fertilizer at the rate Of 200 pounds
per acre. composed Of seventy five
pounds of nitrate Of soda. 100 pounds
Of cottonseed meal. 100 pounds acid
phosphate and twenty-five pounds mu-
riate Of potash. If you use nitrate OF
soda do not apply until after the grass
is up. Where you use cottonseed meal
mix with the acid phosphate and work
we'll into the soil before planting. II
this mixture will not succeed on your
soil it will be q hard matter to get
any grass to grow on it until you en-
rich the land by plowing under crop

The Progress publishes today the
monthly cotton letter of Mr.. A. S

nearly correct to bale as to attract
attention of Wall Street New York,
which. ever since, has looked largely
to Mr.. Johnston's reports for guidance.
Mr.. Johnston is yet quito young
man but his writings and deduction
show that he is thoroughly CONVEX

first of the Worlds Fair state buildings
on which flag was unfurled was that
of Iowa.
"Iowa has been in the front rank of
states participating in the Worlds
Fair" said Mr.. Witter. "Our citizens
have taken as much interest in the
enterprise as if they were Missourians.

people for the fair next year as they
have the most direct route from south

privileges at the fair grounds, and will

neat and clean as any Leon parlor. The
balance of the day was spent visiting
the stores of st. Louis.
Sunday, the last day spent in St.
Louis, was left to the inclination of the
visitors. Some went to church, others
took a trolley ride out to Jefferson Bar
racks, where magnificent view OF the
river and bluffs could be secured, East
st. Louis was visited and the Eads
bridge, the wonder of the west, crossed
and the time passed only too quickly
until it was time for our train to leave

Mr.. Lehman was member of the
committee Of ten, the report of which

centennial of the Louisiana Purchase
with an international exposition. He
outlined the history of the fair, dwelling
particularly upon the part Iowans have
taken to bring it to it's present advanc-
ed state of progress.
Before the guests took their seats the
divine blessing was asked by Elder

porch space, and on the second wide bal
comics. The tiled roofs over the second
story will be easily accessible through
doors at the end of attic halls. Arrange
ments will be made for covering these
terraces with awnings and lighting them
in the evenings, thus making comfortable
lounging places as we'll as affording ex-
tensive views Of the exposition grounds.
One of the strong features of the
plans is the interior arrangements. On
the first floor it is proposed to have in
the center a rotunda, % by % feet.
Leading off from this will be two large
public parlors. There will also be on
this floor two reading rooms, each 22aa
by 40 feet, a woman's retiring room, the
secretary's office, toilet rooms, and wide
vestibules leading from the main en-
frances. The first story will be ID feet
high.
On the second floor will be the gov
ernor's reception room and exhibition
room, each 30 by 40 feet. There will be
private rooms for the governor and for
the president of the commission, and
six comfortable commissioners rooms
ranged along one side of the building.
The hall space in the second story will
be ample. The heighth of the second
story will be 16 feet. In the third or
attic story will be the rooms for en-
ployes and in the basement will be a
storage room for folding chairs and
packing cases.
The Iowa building is for the accommo-
dation of the Iowa people and their
friends who desire resting place dur
ing the day and where meetings can be
held by Iowa people and general meetings
for fair visitors. A bureau for informa-
tion will be maintained and every facil-
ity offered for furnishing Information
concerning the exposition and the city
OF st. Louis. Hon. VIM. Larrabee, former
governor of Iowa and president OF
the Iowa commission, invites all Iowa
people and their friends to make their
headquarters at the Iowa building and
says the "latch string" will always be
out to them.
Proudfoot & Bird of Des Moines are
the architects, and E. W. Nichols 6. CO.,

The Iowa building which appears
above has beautiful location in that
part of the grounds assigned to state
buildings. tits located at the intersec-
tion Of the two most prominent
thoroughfares, with an outlook on a
pretty plaza full of choice flowers and
tropical plants which will extend for a
quarter Of a mile directly in front of the
main entrance of the Iowa building.
The grounds about the Iowa building
are beaut tifully shaded with forestt
land the grounds are high, being 100 feet
above the main exposition building.
The Inter-Mural Railway car line which
passes all of the exposition buildings
and the large concessions on the Pike
will have station near the Iowa build
ing, putting it in close touch with every
part of the 1880 acres which is devoted
to the exposition. The architecture Of
the Iowa building is delightful blend
ing of the architecture of the old state
capitol located at Iowa City and of the
new state capitol located at Des Moines,
the cupola of the building being re-
production of the old capitol and the
columns and facade being that Of the
new. 1t will be 6S feet wide by 106
long, including the porches. The ex-
IRENE width will be 1Os by 100 feet long.
1t will be 40 feet to the top of the roof
and 80 feet to the flag pole.
The building will be one that the COM
mission believes will be credit to Iowa
/ in every sense. 1t will combine the
artistic and the practical in an unusual
degree and will be roomy and comfort
able. The whole structure is of the
French Renaissance style. This is the
style Of the better class of state build
ings on the exposition grounds and the
general style of the exposition build
ings, so that in point of style the Iowa
building will harmonize well with it's
surroundings. The paneled ceilings and
walls in the interior are intended to
afford ample opportunity for mural dec
orations.
The structure will be of wood and
staff and will be ivory white, in accord
with the general color scheme of the
exposition buildings. Over the main
entrance, will appear the word 'Iowa,''
and it is expected in carrying out the
mural decorations to portray his
torical and allegorical scenes directly
relating to this state.
On the first story there will be ample
