Representative Kohrs was home again last
Sunday. When he went to the Legislature
he proposed to only come home once during
the session, but it has so fallen out that all
the wedding and birthday anniversaries in
the family for several generations come en-
the Sundays or Mondays of January and Feb
Of course he has to be at home en-
all such occasions. If there is any place in
the world eur worthy Representative would
rather be than with his family, we do not
think he has found it yet-and don't think he
ever will.
Mr.. A. G. Logger, of Warm Springs, re-
turned Monday from New Orleans and Flor
ida, at which latter place he went to visit
"Billy" Durand. Mr.. Leger says the climate
of Florida is superb-the temperature where
he was ranging from co. to S0' almost the
year round. He is not so enthusiastic about
orange culture as he was. There is some ex-
element about lands and prices are up,while
lie finds that orange trees require as much
care In tending. pruning, ate, as house
plants. He thinks the eventual prosperity
of Florida farmers will be when the Florida
system Is matured-in shipping gar
den products to the North during the winter.
Although grass was half knee deep, he says
the cattle there did not look so well as in
Montana. There is too much water In it to
be nutritious. In Florida Irish potatoes sell
at So per bushel and are table Injuries, while
sweet potatoes are common truck and fed to
the stock. Irish potatoes can only be grown
there by planting them every month, by
which method tolerable table potato can be
grown, but remarkable fact is that these
potatoes will not reproduce. The seed pota-
tees must be brought from the North for
each planting. Durand has a two-year- old
orange grove growing, and is csntented.
Leger hasn't, and he is contsnted too.
