WILL Be BUILT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE
Loca Men Behind the Proposition Have the Reputation of Doing
Things We Need il Badly for the Development
Of Lubbock

One of the greatest needs of
the town at present is a good
hotel, one that will accommodate
the travelling public, and those
Of our own town who wish to
avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunities of life in staying at a
first class hotel.
This great need is being felt
most keenly, and the public are
demanding that Lubbock have
something better than the pres
ent hotel facilities, and realizing
this a number Of our local
hustlers have banded them
selves together for the purpose
Of putting a proposition through
that will wind up by Lubbock
having one Of the incest hotels
on the South Plains. Lubbock
people are noted for doing things
that are worthy of the commen- |
iatiOns of the outside world. +
and in this they will not be sat
SIZED with anything but the
very best, possible.

West Texas Normal

r. B. Cousins. president of the
West Texas State Normal. was
in Amarillo yesterday from Can
yon. Mr.. Cousins states that he
was well pleased with the outlook
for the school with which he is
identified, this year. The first
year was highly satisfactory. and
the present term is expected 10
show results Of far reaching
scope and possibilities.
The attendance at the Normal
this year will show a great in
crease, and a corresponding pro-
gress in all lines. will doubtless
be developed.

The actual plans and specif-
cations are not permissible to
publication at thist time, but
we have the assurance from
those who have the matter in
charge that there is merit in
them, and when the proposition
is finally presented to the public
that they will receive approval
from every point of view.
The exact location of the new
hotel has not yet been fully de-
termined though two or three
choice locations are under ad-
visement, and the location will
be determined when the propo-
sition has been fully worked out.
This is a great move in the
tight direction, and will mean a

either the one-half inch cut or
the three-quarter inch cut should
be used. This will make a very
palatable form of silage for the
animal and also make it easier 10
pack the silage so as to eliminate
the air thus preventing waste.
Rapid or slow filling is a point
on which there is much differ
ence of opinion. Where slow fill
ing is practiced it is always pos
slble to pack the silage thorough
ly by tramping and allowing il
TO settle. In this way the full
capacity Of the silo may utilized.
The objections to this system are
that where a large quantity of
sllage is 10 be up on a farm or
on several farms with the one
filling outfit, it takes so much
time that some of the corn must
be put in too green at the begin
ming and some more of it too dry
at the finish. 1t is also more
expensive than were rapid filling
IS practiced.

About the Sdo

The problem of filling the silo
for the first time is going to con-
front more farmers this year than
ever before. Thousands of men
are asking these questions:
When should the corn be cut?
What length should the corn be
cut? Should the silo be filed
rapidly or slowly? How should
the corn be distributed and
packed? Should water be added
during the filling? How should
the cracks or other air spaces be
filled? What is the best way to
prevent waste on the top of the
silo? What does it cost per ton
to fill the silo? How soon after
filling is the silage fit to use?
While there is some slight diff
ference Of opinion on this mat
ter, practically every answer in
dicated that the corn should be
dented. IN the dough stage or
when about one-fourth the husks
and the lower leaves were turn
ing brown in color. This would
indicate that the best results
are obtained when the corn is .
enough TO cut for shock I
ing purposes. The nearer the
corn is TO maturity the more
food nutrients il contains. Thus
he more valuable from a silage
standpoint providing there is
enough moisture TO insure proper
fermentation. Immature corn
makes a dark colored sour silage
which NAV cause animals TO
cOur badly.
In the discussion Of the lengths
which the corn should be cut
fhen put into the silo. much diff
erence of opinions was mani
ested. Some advocate one and

About Sowing Alfalfa

About this time of the year
there Is always a large number
Of farmers who are making plans
for sowing alfalfa. Now, there
are more wrong ways Of getting
alfalfa seed into the ground than
"a farmer has Of coming 10
town ana the new beginner
is pretty likely 10 hit upon one
Of them. In the first place, to
many men entered upon the
growing of alfalfa Cas they do
indeed, upon almost every other
phase Of farm life), without any
careful study Of the business.
As we see it-and We have
made more than a few obserya-
tions there are two points
wherein lies the secret of nine
tenths of the unsatisfactory re-
suits obtained in alfalfa farming
in this country. The first is that
in the desire to get an income
from the land that has been T
freely broken, the farmer will
SOW in new ground rather than
wait a season, planting some
grain or forage crop meanwhile
70 get the soil well worked up.
The result in almost every in
stance is that the ground is
'ough and cloddy, the sprouting
ICED has little chance for a heal
ny growth, and the older plant
mall opportunity for stooling ,
ut.
Then there are many men who !
all 10 see the advantage of :
avelIing their fields as nearly Z
ertectly as possible before I
lauting. To the 'dry-farmer" f
rom the north and east especial q

way, but it should be borne in t
lInd that alfalfa once seeded. d

me, that every hollow left with L
} a border" means the scald-
X of so much good alfalfa: and
lat every bump means more
ear and tear on machinery, less
fciency for the rake, and great f
p difficulty in the handling of {,
e flood at irrigating time. Add o,
ese items for a lifetime. and
will be seen that the man who :"
willing 20 wait a season before "

the county came through with the
money. This is all wrong; in the first
