national convention at Washington.
Among the resolutions passed by
the carriers were the following:
Resolved, That we ask compensa-
ton for upieep of equipment the
same as IS allowed city carriers WHO
use horses in the suburbs of the
cities, and that carriers be paid the
same for rates per mile above TWEEN
ty four miles that they are paid for
the standard route and that the rates
on routes below twenty-four miles
be graded on a one-mile basis in
stead Of two.
"Resolved, That substitute car
riers who have given faithful and eff
fcient service be given preference
over outsiders when taking the exam
ination to become regular carriers.
"Where as a great many rural car
riers on horse drawn routes are using
autos and maintaining the same
without extra compensation in order
to give better service.
Therefore, be it resolved, That we
instruct cur state officers to use every
Legitimate means at the next session
of the Iowa legislature to indorse the
action of State Secretary Ramsay
and exempt the rural letter carriers
from auto taxation.
"Resoved: That we petition the
department to discontinue the quar-
terly count on all routes carrying
over 5000 pieces of mail per month
and in lieu thereof that the annual
count be taken at any time that is
best suited to the department.
"Be it further resolved, That we
favor the creation of a welfare COM
mittee to work thru the organization
of employees in all future movements
affecting the carriers interests.
Resolved, That we indorse the
good roads campaign that is being
put en- BY the state highway commits
sion.
Resolved that all boxes be placed
on the right hand side Of the road
for the safety Of carriers, also to
comply with the state law.
That all first class mail be stamped
before placing in box or handed to
the carrier.
That AL horse routes be read
jus.ei to conform to- the twenty-four
mile standard as near as practical.
That rural free delivery inspectors
be appointed from the rural free de-

Value Of Red Glover

When should it be sown?
In your section Of the state you
lay be able to grow red clover with
ONE advantage. To do this success
ully we think you should either at
cmpt it's cultivation on land con-
lining a considerable amount of lime
! else use a good deal of this ma
erial before you seed the land down

lad what they term GLOVER sickness
In other words, on soils where Glow
er grew formerly it fails to maintain
under existing conditions. In many
instances this trouble seems to have
arisen from a disease attacking Glow
er in the south. At other times 1t
has apparently been due to a de-
ficiency of lime in the soil.
Red clover requires good fertile
type of land and it is not much use
sowing it on soil which does not
possess this characteristic. Land
which is fairly we'll drained but re-
entive of moisture and containing a
amount of humus is best
suited to its needs.
1t would not be good practice, in
our judgment, to sow red clover at
this season OF the year. Our best
success has come from planting it
in the fall. We do not advise against
your planting it now, but we think
the prospects Of securing a stand
are better from fall planting than
from spring planting. If attempting
to put out red clover in the spring
of the year we would wish to plant
it about the fifteenth Of February
to the first of March in an ordinary
season. Earlier planting than this
does not seem to be advisable be-
cause of the danger of severe freezes
which may follow just after the
clover has terminated and destroyed
it.
Cotton land which you wish to SEED
to clover might be cultivated with
in cowpeas this summer
and then broken, lined at the rate,
say of two tons of crushed raw rock
per acre, and planted to clover TINS
fall. We think you are much more
likely to secure satisfactory returns,
however, from alfalfa than from RED
clover, and we would recommend that
you seed it on that account. 1t is,
