ing put forth in the State to makeup
the deficit. Pledges have been made
by the Civic League, by alumnae re
siding here and by others interested.

possible.
Other subscriptions will be gladly
received by President Fell, OF St.

prompt and generous response to
this appeal. No one need hesitate

it is a privilege to have some part,
however small, in saving for Mary

the Annapolis Storage and Transfer

of the volunteer fremen, however,
prevented further spread Of the
flames.
Only a few minutes before the dis
covery of the blaze, several horses had
bee placed in the stables All Of
them were rescued, although a couple
were badly scorched. A lot of har-
ness and other materials were de.
stroyed. The total damage is esti-

covered by insurance. About two
years ago there was Ere in stables
IN the same premises. The origin of
the fire is unascertained.
Although a general alarm was
sounded, the fire bells rang for such
a short period that it was some time
before many residents of the town
were apprised Of the real extent OF
the blaze. The reflection over the

tracted the hundreds of persons who
gathered az the scene of the blaze,

for miles around.

Some delay was exerienced bythe

before the blaze was entirely under

Both OF the ceremonies proper were

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, April 10.-Alfalfa, the greatest
of forage crops, will grow on every soil
in Iowa If properly cultivated. The ag-
ricultural experiment station at Iowa
State College is certain of that fact
after thorough investigation and it is
now in the midst of an educational
campaign intended to encourage alfalfa
growing everywhere in Iowa. The sta
ton has just printed large edition
of a. bulletin, Alfalfa Management in
Iowa." by Prof. H. d. Hughes, which
will be sent to thousands of names on
the mailing lists and to all who ask for
it. 1t has also issued an alfalfa poster
which is being displayed in every bank,
every postoffice, every railway station
and every creamery in the state and In
other public places.
More Failures With Clover.
The bulletin sets aside The very COM
mon nation that alfalfa can not be
grown in very many sections of Iowa.
1t shows that successful stands of al
falfa have been secured in eighty one
counties out of ninety reporting and
partially successful in the other nine.
absolute failure. Sometimes farmers
had to try and try again, but when they
finally learned how to grow the crop
they succeeded. OF LOIS seedlings re-
ported to the experiment station, only
little more than IL per cent were
failures The failures in red clover
seeding will run higher than that.
Farmers in different parts of the state
who have grown alfalfa successfully
for number of years say, it is an
easier crop to grow than red clover.
High Feed Value.
Considering every acre of alfalfa
grown in Iowa. the average yield in
! 1865 was 2.S SIS tons al acre: IL 1910, Z
tons. The average money value of
the product of each acre of alfalfa was
$3.50 in 1909 and 1912 in 1910. In
those same years the acre value of
winter wheat was $16.75 and 1881; for
corn, $1765 and $14.32. Alfalfa sur
passes all other Iowa crops in feeding
value and each acre SO far grown in
the state has yielded 2,6 times as much
protein IS the average acre of red
clover, 2.75 times as much as of corn,
and times as much as oats.
In this new bulletin, Professor
Hughes has met every problem that
| may arise in the growing OF alfalfa in
lows. 1t.was not based on experiments
at Ames alone, but on the practical
experience Of hundreds Of growers in
| all sections Of Iowa. A copy will be
sent to every inquirer by the bulletin
