Homestead Hotel to Be Enlarged in Town
Materials are being assembled to enlarge the Homestead Hotel in the east part of town by owners J. F Cox and Glenn Matthews. The addition will add at least eight guest rooms as the hotel currently holds 11. Cox and Matthews bought land from Prentce Crawford west of the hotel with 170 feet on Highway 60 and 140 feet depth, including the garage building used by Local Truck Systems and the former cafe building. The deal also shifted ownership of a triangular lot west of the Frisco tracks and the former White Front Restaurant site. The brickwork for a new addition to the Sikeston Laundry Company building is complete, now 18 by 56 feet and forming the laundry’s rectangular expansion. Old wooden buildings on Malone avenue near Matthews Wagon Yard have been torn down for a proposed F and M Oil service station expected to be ready in two to three weeks. Sterling Store stock has moved to new quarters north of its old Matthews Estate location on North New Madrid street, while its former space is being remodeled for a new J C Penny Store.

Early cool season crops thrive in Missouri gardens
Farm guidance from J W C Anderson of the Missouri College of Agriculture notes early plantings of radishes lettuce peas carrots and spinach perform best in cool weather. Peas require about 56 days to mature, so multiple successive sowings extend harvests into mid spring with timing varying across Missouri regions and soil conditions. Fall plowing enhances early deployment and max yields.
