The Size of the Piece Planted Has

While 1t is the most common prac

"a nurse crop. much in the same mar
ner as red clover, it may be seeded
without nurse crop with good
chances OF success. says Professor III
d. Hughes of Iowa State college
With this method the seed is put
in little later than the ordinary time
for seeding small grain. 1t demands
also that the land be worked thor
oughly for some weeks in advance oi
seeding, so that as many as possible
OF the weed seeds in the soil may be
sprouted and killed The land should
have been manured and plowed the
preceding fall. as that preparation
adds materially to the chances for sue
cess. The main advantages, of spring
seeding are that less labor is required
and that there is greater likelihood Of
the necessary moisture in the form OF
rainfall. It's chief disadvantage is thai
the fight with weeds is harder witt
spring seeding than with later summer
seeding. OF the men who tried spring
seeding without a nurse crop, about
15 per cent succeeded.
According to tests made at the Iowa
agricultural experiment station ant
elsewhere. it is important that the
pieces of potato planted be large
enough, because size has a direct in
fluence upon the yield per acre
In tests conducted several years age
in number OF different counties, the
planting OF one eye pieces gave al
average yield OF 76.5 bushels per acre
The planting of two eye pieces gave
an average yield OF 81 bushels pei

DON'T CLOSE

Schools Should Keep Open
CLOSELY WATCHED At SCHOOL

Children Under Observation and

Doubt as to the wisdom of closing
schools in epidcmics of contagious
disease is expressed by I)r. Francis
George Curtis, OF Newton, Mass, in
bulletin on the Health of School

are closed when an outbreak occurs
the children arc turned loose from
supervision: they mingle freely with
one another in the streets, Oh play
grounds, and in each others houses
They are having extra vacation and
enjoying themselves thoroughly and
are unwilling to admit that they feel
i'll, lest they be kept at home and pre-
vented from having 4 good time. For
this reason they will not say they feel
i'll until the disease is we'll advanced,
and they may be active sources OF in.

IF the schools are Kept open and

In this way many children are
sent home before they have had an
opportunity to infect others, thus re-
ducing the probability OF spreading in
lection. Further than this the at.
tention of the parents is called to the
fact that the child is feeling i'll and
he is brought under treatment earlier

Instead of closing the schools and
allowing the children to be scattered

1.-The second question is, what kind
of paving is desired? The qualities
desired for the ideal paving are as
follows:
First, that it should be imperyious
to moisture; gravel and macadam will
not admit moisture and are not suit
able.
Second. it should provide good
footing for horses.
"Third, it should be hard and dur
able and Offering resistance to grind
ing by wheels.
Fourth, it should be adapted to ev-
cry grade. whether fiat or steep.
Fifth, the pavement should suit
every kind OF traffic.
Sixth, the question Of noiseless-
ness. This is of minor consideration
where the traffic is comparatively
light.
Seventh. it should come as near
being dustless as possible.
CiSiilI, II SuOulu 10 easy " CiGlu.
.'Ninth, it should be low priced.
1T must be borne in mind, however,
that the lowest price is not always
the cheapest. The cheapest form OF
paving is. that which will give the
largest amount of service. last the
longest and cost the least per year
while 1t lasts.
4My observation in Ida Grove is
that you can use only three kinds
paving to advantage here: Portland
cement concrete. costing $1.35 per
square yard, exclusive Of the cost OF
storm water sewers, but including ev-
lerything else; sheet asphalt or as
phaltic concrete from $1.50 to $3.50;
yitrified brick, costing about 81 per
yard. We might consider creosoted
wood block, which in my opinion is
the highest form of paving, but also
the most costly. You might use the
block on the street around the ele-
vators and the railway.
ITO pave 76 feet wide on your prin-
cipal business street, assessing at So

is used. the cost would be about 81
per front foot for each side of the
street. A business lot of 25 feet
would cost $l75 to $3.50, according to
the kind of material used.
ION residence street "a feet wide
-and this is ample for every street
in Ida Grove except your two business
streets and the one past the elevators
brick would cost about SO per front
foot and concrete about $212. A six
|ty foot lot. would then cost not in ex-
tcess of $3.50 and much less. with con-
crete. This includes cost Of intersec-
tions. but not of storm sewers You
have the privilege of assessing prop
|erty owners on the side streets to be
benefited by the paving not more
than 900 feet from them.
"You will see. then, that it does not
cost $4,000 to pave a lot on Main
street, but $3.50. In each of the last
Eve years you have spent here an
i average Of $1,000 to take care of the
streets within this proposed paving
district This sum is interest at 6
percent of $4,000. which is used.
You must expect to spend certain
amount each year in maintenance and
Alling up cracks.

talk of the candidacy of Representa-

dry democrats are talking seriously of
putting Senator j. S. Clarkson, of Mon

took occasion I'd express himself as to
the issues Of 1916 at a dinner given by
the Chamber of Commerce OF Des
Moines, recently. He declared that
county rights would be the over
whelming issue, and that the repre-
sentatives in the 37th general assem-
bly, must stand, more than ever before
as the exponents of the desires and
beliefs OF their constituents, the voters
who have elected them. He also spoke
plainly against bringing the religious
issue into politics and deplorcd the
fact that this issue had found its way
into the assembly halls. Mr.. Miller

Two Constitutional Amendments Los:
Two resolutions favoring constitu-
liOnal amendments, which were passed
by the 35th general assembly were de-
feated by the assembly just closed.
They were the Allen resolution for an
amendment to the constitution provld-.
ing that all taxes from railroads and
similar public corporations should be
used for state expenses only; and the
resolution for an amendment pr6vld-
ing the initiative and referendum for
Iowa. The former was defeated in the
senate. The latter passed the house,
but found It's grave in the senate lsift-
ing committee.

the experiment station at Ames that
these figures are too low and it is re-
commended that at least u to ,16 bush
els of seed per acre be used. 1t may
seem expensive to plant so heavily,
but common sense and many expert
ments justify it. An additional bushel
or two of potatoes used as seed may
add ten to twenty times that amount
to the final yield.

No one practice will do more to put

of sprays. II is not altogether an agree
