FIFTEEN HUNDRED STUDENTS
Almost Every State in the Union is
Represented

Over fifteen hundred students are
now daily climbing the big stone
steps which lead into the halls of
the State Normal school.
Over fifteen hundred-it Is no
wonder that they are beginning to es-
TEEN themselves to be somebody up
there. This, OF course. is a record
number and the greatest enthusiasm
prevails in the student body and
among faculty members as we'll.
OF these 1900 plus, more than 500
are in the Normal department pro-
per. 1t is revelation to peruse
the registration list, because of the
tremendous percentage of people
who already have degrees from other
schools and are here for the special
work that the Normal can give. AL
most every state in the union is rep
resented, and many of the students
are old experienced teachers. The
| new elective system is regarded with
great favor by all.
Professor Lister, the ever popular
is back once more and will have
charge of the department of athletics
Great stress will be laid on out-oi

teaching in Chicago and in Ohio
since he left here.

SOME OF THE FACTS REVIEWED
The Club One of the Most Success
full OF Its Kind

The painters and carpenters have
promised the Greeley Club that they
can have possession of their new
rooms in the Gordon block by the
first of October or probably sooner.
These rooms have been especially
prepared for the uses of the club and
nothing which could be done to en-
hance their value as place of re-
left out. The rooms are arranged
in manner similar to those occu-
pied at present but are much larger
containing 1900 square feet more
floor space.
One new feature is a room piped
for gas and arranged with cooking
facilities so that the club can easily
entertain on large and elaborate
scale
New carpets will be purchased and
q considerable amount of new fur
niture will be added to the present
equipment. The present quarters
contain three pool tables and two
billiard tables, but the new rooms
will permit of two more which will
be added as soon as occasion de-
mands. There is at present a mem
bership of 142. The new quarters
will comfortably accommodate $50 but
that number is the limit according
to tacit agreement of the members.
This club occupies a peculiar posi-
tion in the social life Of Greeley. 1t
is as one member expressed it "It is
as near Y. NJ. C. A. as it can be
without the name" The best recon-
mendation the club has is that its
best members who have sons have
proposed their boys for membership
as soon as they reach the required
age of 1S.
Nothing is sold in the club rooms
and not even the mildest forms of
betting are permitted. Some have
expressed a desire to have cigars
sold in the rooms for the conven-
ience of members but 1t has not been
permitted as 1t would give an oppor-
tunity to play cards for the smokes
The reading room contains all the
leading dailies of both Eastern and
Western cities and all the leading
magazines. The club was incor-
porated April IA. 1892. the incor-

the good fortune of folks In thls

small, but made up of men-the
women being in hopeless MINOR
ity-whose presence meant soHle-
thing. The faculty at the state NOT
NAL was well represented and the
conservative and monied interests
were also represented
He contended from start to fnish
that the city beautiful was not some
thing designed to appeal to the
aesthetic sense of the few but that
it was the way of salvation financla'-
ly for the many. His lecture was
amply illustrated.
He emphasized the necessity OF n
beautiful approach to city ana IN
the case of an inland town like
course by rail and that there should
be things doing here in the way OF
parking and shrub planting. An
other point on which he laid con
siderable emphasis was the necessity
of a civic centre and he congratula-
ted the town on grouping its pnbllt
buildings around the park and sound
ed the warning to be careful about
putting up any new buildings away
from the park frontage. He said
that this would be terrible and ir-
reparable mistake. Everything was
illustrated by pictures of the way
they are doing things in progressive
places farther east.
He had the Ladies' Home journal
beaten mile in his wealth of mater
ial when he came to the treatment
of the kind of home to have and the
kind not to have. He not only had
pictures of the different kinds of
houses and grounds. but the ash can
and the arm chair got what was
coming to them too.
He talks at the Armory again to-
night and it is said that this will be
the best number on the course.
Everybody ought to go and see his
pictures and hear him.

GRASSES ND GLOVER.
Possibilities Of lis Successful Growth
in 4 hsrn Idaho.


Possibilities Of Us Successful Growth
in n r hsrn Iosho.
BY b. 7. French. Director Idaho Experiment Sta
tion. Moscow
Much interest is being manifested in
the possibility of growing grasses and
tloyers in the section about Moscow
and other i rs of Northern Idaho.
This natter is Of special interest at
this time, for many new settlers are
coming into this state fr M the older
states, where these crops constitute a
very important part of farm produc.
tion.
Our experience exterds ever several
seasons and we thought it might be Of
profit to some to know what is being
done In this direction on the expert
ment station farm.
We have undertaken to establish q
seeding of clovers and grasses on por-
tion Of the farm and herewith give a
brief account OF the results of our work
during the past season,
Last April we plowed up ten acres Of
land on which wheat was grown the
year before, and fitted it for the seed
by narrowing twice with fine toothed
smoothing harrow. We then sowed
broadcast the following mixture, COW
ering six acres, leaving the balance un-
til later, on account of the ground being
in q lower portion OF the field and too
wet to wok.
10 pounds common red clover.
6pounds Alske clover.
26 pounds orchard grass.
6pounds meadow fescue
6pounds English rye grass.
10 pounds timothy,
4pounds tall meadow oat grass.
This made IL pounds OF the mixture
per acre. The balance of the field
was sown to the same combination, at
the same rate per acre, except eight
pounds of alfalfa seed was added to the
mixture in place of the alsike clover
and timothy seed.
No nurse crop was sown with the
grass mixture. And here is where
many farmers make mistake, by sow-
ing wheat, oats or barley with the
grass or clover. 1t Is the experience
of the best farmers now that it is not
wise to SOW crop of grain with the
seeding. The more rapidly growing
grain crop takes the moisture away
from the tender grass, and clover
plants, and when the grain is cut the
hot sun burns these tender plants up.
The wild oat which is 30 abundant in
the soil of this locality is quite enough
OF a nurse crop, and stms attention
should be given to cutting this out Of
the way when it reaches the proper
stage. We cut two crops of wild oats
from our field. The first crop made q
fair yield of hay. In cutting the wild
oats the moving machine should be set
high enough 60 that it will not cut the
clover or young grass.
The last of November, when the yield
was last examined, there was fine
stand of clover and OF all the grasses
sown, so far as we were able to detect
them. Much of the clover headed oui
last season making growth one foot
high or more.
Unless last season was an exception
ably favorable one there Is no reason
why clovers and grasses should not be
grown In the hill lands in this section
The yield OF wheat will not be lesl
when the farmers learn to grow these
crops which restore fertility, and the
possibilities Of diversified farming
with stock as an important factor, vii
be greatly strengthened.
