In certain parts of Iowa, where sweet clover has been given a thorough trial, the yield of corn has been in creased as much as 15 to 25 bushels per acre.

"The value of sweet clover is more fully appreciated when we consider that it supplies, to the soil the most essential plant food of most of our soils nitrogen. Nitrogen is very es- sential for the production of good crops of corn, and other crops. One hundred bushels of corn require 100 pounds of nitrogen.

NEED FOR NUMBER ING RESIDENCES OF THE CITY IS FELT Strangers Find Task of Locating Objective is Very Difficult Un der Present System. The query has been made quite often in the past few months as to why the residences over the city are not numbered in the custom of other places of tli is tize and which would aid very much In locating a person's residence. To those who have lived in the city for years, the location of a place as "the second house west of Smith's" may be a. good guide, but to the stranger it is as clear as mud and the person i3 just as much in the dark as before they received the in formation. The proper numbering of the prop erties along the different streets would make the finding of a person's home a comparatively easy matter compared witii the present methods. Years ago the city made an effort to overcome this difficulty by having the different properties numbered and this for several years made it very convenient in looking up any one, but in the later years this was abandoned and a stranger moving into the city 'did not know whether they lived in Xo. 1 or No. 1.000 and accordingly found difficulty in mak ing the location of their homes known when ordering goods from the business houses of the city. Also the numbering of the houses would be necessary if the city is to ever have free city delivery and we trust that sometime in the not too distant future a real scrap will be made for free delivery that will re- cult in the city getting what it has long been in need of to be a real first class city. We have at the present time many Btrangera moving into the city to make their homes and should endeav or to see that the properties along the various 6treets are numbered so that a person can have some idea of how. to locata their home. h RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL From Friday' Daily.
