HOTELS AND ROADS
GIVEN attention !
PLAN FOR HosTELRY SUBMIT.
TED TO COMMERCIAL AssocIA-
TIoN DIRECTORS.

J The directors of the Commercial as
ISOLATION discussed the matter OF a
new hotel for Ottumwa and the con.
dition OF roads at the meeting held
yesterday afternoon. The hotel com.
mittee through. it's chairman j. B.
Sax made q statement about the pros
pect for hostelry for the city. but the
report was not complete.
Mr.. Sax proposal for securing the
much talked of hotel was responsible
for awaking considerable interest IN
the question which has been but little
alluded to recently. He proposed q
scheme which when worked out prom
ises a hotel, and the plan will un-
doubtedly attract local capital In the
bringing about Of the committees ex-
pectations. A number of the directors
expressed themselves pleased with the
prospect and believed that It can be
worked out satisfactorily.
The matter of getting q hotel was
said to be largely up to the people OF
Ottumwa who are urged to get under
the proposition and bring about q
successful issue to the plans proposed.
The securing Of the hotel Is possible
If Ottumwans will take hold Of the
proposition and support it.
The road question was brought
about in the form Of critisism Of the
Blue Grass road out Of Ottumwa on
the west So much dissatisfaction was
expressed that several proposed that
the Eddyville route be substituted for
the Blakesburg highway in going to
Abba and places along the Blue Grass
road west of Ottumwa. They claim
that the regularly adopted route Dis
very unsatisfactory while that to Eddy
vile Is excellent No definite action
beyond calling attention of the Blue
Grass road omcials was taken at Nthe
meeting.

PLANTING ALFALFA REQUIRES
A KNOWLEDGE OF DETAILS

In growing alfalfa there are few
fundamental principles to be consider.
ed. These, however, are very simple
and can be applied in practical man
ner by an Iowa farmer who has met
with success in growing the so.called
more common crops.
The first thing to consider is the 10.
cation of the field. Alfalfa should al.
ways be planted on we'll drained land
This does not necessarily mean that
the land must be high, for excellent
stands have been secured on low land
that has been tile drained. II planted
on wet soils, the crowns which are
formed at the surface Of the earth will
be raised when the ground freezes and
Ethaws- This will break the roots and
as a result the plants will be killed.
Again, the land should not be acid or
sour. If this condition Is found lime
should be added in sufficient quantities
to overcome the acid.
Alfalfa may be planted either In the
late fall or spring. In northeastern
and central Iowa fall planting proves
best, while in the western part OF the
state spring sowing has given the best
satisfaction. However, no definite line
can be drawn, and the success OF the
crop depends largely on the seed bed
and the kind Of weather which immed-
lately follows planting.
If one plants in the wall the best sys-
TEN to follow is to first grow crop
LOT small grain. After this is out, or

This Is absolutely necessary to get q
good flne seed bed that will retain
moisture. Although good crops have
been secured without inoculating, yet
one Is insured Of a better stand II this
is DONE BY incubation Is meant ia
put certain germs in the soil which are
beneficial to the rapid growth Of the
young plants. The same germs are re-
quired that develop in sweet clover
ground. I AS sweet clover grows in
every vicinity the easiest way to in
oculate is. simply to take a manure
spreader, load it with ground found
around the sweet clover roots and
spread this on the field as thinly az
possible. Whether one inoculates OF
not the field should be thoroughly har.
rowed before planting in order to have
q fine, firm seed bed. If one plants In
the spring the land should be plowed
in the fall to get the mellowing effect
Of the winter weather. In the spring
the seed bed should be prepared in the
same manner as for late summer plant
ing.
It has been found best to plant the
seed for summer sowing about the
Goth of August Spring planting should
be done as early as the ground can be
satisfactorily prepared. The American
variety Of seed should be secured and

UNIFORM DRESS IN
SCHOOL ADVOCATED
This Plan Was Once Carried
Out in Schools of Perry
Township.

The plan of uniform dress system
in the New England schools which is
now being carried out was once tried
in Wayne county in Perry Township.
The uniform dress among the
school children creates a democratic
spirit among the students and makes
many of the poorer class of children
better satisfied with school life than
they would be under any other condi-
tons, the school authorities believe.
In many instances in cities the size
of Richmond poor parents who were
trying to send their children through
school were much discouraged when
their children would come home COM
planning because many of the other
students were better dressed. After
the plan was suggested to various
school boards in cities in New Eng
land 1t was investigated and the au-
thorities learned that there was a
great tendency on the part of the
school children to judge their fellow
students by their worldly possessions
Many fathers were exerting themsel-
yes beyond their means to buy clothes
for their children.
When Charles Jordan was county
superintendent of schools the plan was
tried out in Perry township during
graduation week. Caps and gowns
were made and all students wore
them.
