IOWA OFFERS NEW COURSE

riculturaI and Domestic Sci.
ence Work.

The state board of education has au.
thorized a new course at the Iowa
State college, course In agricultural
education. Its purpose is to train
teachers for agricultural and domestic
science work In the secondary schools
There is a wide and rapidly increasing
sentiment in favor Of industrial train
ing In the public schools. The demand
is far In excess of the supply OF teach
ers. Public school work has not here
tofore appealed to the graduates of the
agricultural colleges. Recently the
demand has become so urgent that the
schools are paying from $1,000 to
$1,000 for graduates. with assurance Of
a rapid advance as merited. Other
states are paying much more liberal
salaries than Iowa. Out OF S55 stu
dents enrolled in the division of agri-
culture at Ames during the past year
comparatively few are looking forward
to teaching profession. OF the IS

Previous to seeding alfalfa. which was

were secured. Manure had been sup
piled to keep up the fertility and
while the soil was a clay it yielded
good crops of grain.
Nothing was done to the soil till
the middle OF June. At this time 1t

inches. The pillow was Immediately
followed by smoothing harrow to
work down the soil At intervals
during the remainder of June and
throughout July the field was work

This not only killed any weeds that
had started but pulverized and pack

August the field was well disked and
the seed sown broadcast at the rate
OF sixteen pounds per acre. The
smoothing harrow was run lightly over
the ground to cover up the seed and
leave a level surface. The young
plants were soon through the ground
and made good growth during the
remainder of the fall months. In Oc-

back to cause them to grow more
stocky and sturdy. Manure was APP

alfalfa and to furnish nourishment for
their growth the following season.
