AGRICULTURAL INDEPENDENCE

Under the above heading the Payrtte
Independent says the following good
things.
Here In the Payotte valley we do not
need to urge our farmers TO raise corn
and pork. but strange to say. there Is
still AN inexplicsbls bsckwardnem on
their part to turn their attention
10 the production Of certain staples for
which this region Is peculiarly fitted.
and which now are imported m large
quantities from other states. For con
frmation Of this statement. the reader
need only 60 into any OF the large gen
cral merchandise stores In Payette, and
take note Of the heavy stocks Of canned
fruits and vegetables which are carried
by their proprietors. These stocks are
imported. not only from California and
Oregon. but even from the far east.
We say Il iss shame AMI disgrace to
the payette valley which Ia already re-
cognized as the best district for all
round fruit production In the state Of
Idaho. that there should not vet be
single brand OF canned goods which the
Payette merchant can reccomend 10 his
customers AS being porduct OF this
locality.
I'VE understand that the farsightrd
and energetic founders OF Plymouth
Colony intend TO take the initiative At

cannerv, and as soon as this csnnery Is
In successful operation, this new outlet
for onr farm products will increase the
value OF every acre OF land In the valley.
There is no reason why plums. peaches
apricois, nectarinrs and pears should
not be canned on a large scale as cheap
" here as IN Oregon. aud the same Is
true Of the sweet corn, tomatoes, and
peas, which Idaho has hitherto import.
ed In cans In enormous quantities.
"Other things being equal observs.
ton teaches that the agricultural com.
munity which produces the largest pro.
portion OF the articles which IL con-
sumes. Is the most prosperous and the
most independent One OF the most
striking proofs OF this proposition is
found In the prosperity and independence
81 the Mormons. In an article on The
Conquest OF Arid America Mr. William
u smythe says: I'm Utah foreign
Evosis are not a badge OF honor The
Utah man wears Utah clothes, made In
Utah factories from wool sheared from
the backs OF Titan sheep. with the same
pride that New York man wears a
London hat and New York woman a
Paris gown" Further on In his article
Mr.. Smythc,s Says: The figures present
ed by the historian show that the aver
age gross income Of the Mormon farm
ers over a period Of forty years has been
sI35s.25 or sis2 % above the cost of
his living expenses. II u to be seriously
donbted whether any other people on
the face OF the earth can make such
showing"
The more nearly our farmers pro.
duce what they consume. the less will be
their dependence on the banks and the
fluctuations OF Wall street. The more
nearly our people as whole is indus
trially Independent, by creating the COM
moditIes which are necessary to It's com.
fort and livelihood here In the West. the
less will we be injured by goldbug fnan-
cial methods and objectionable tariff
laws

ENGLAND seems 10 have considerable
respect for the United States and IL is

10 submit to IL all evidence In their pos
session which would tend to further the
work Of the commission the London
Globe says ''Great Britain will not allow
this monstrous claim TO determine the
territory OF British colony within its
Jurisdiction. No power would admit is
except at the close " long and disas-
trous war. We're such a demand to be
made by any other power, our only re-
ply would be 10 hand its ambassador his

Ir there Ia any one in the neHhbor-
fact that the Emmett Cemetery needs
some attention they should drive over
that way some day and take look at
the last resting place OF the departed
ones. The place lies opeo to the in
roads Of range stock and many OF the
graves are 80 trampled and fiattened
down as to be hardly distlnguishable. 1t
is a shame 10 allow burial place to re-
main In such condition and now that
the work Of improvement has been be-
gun IL should no. be dropped until a
great change has been effected. The
ground has never been properly laid Off
and the longer things are allowed to run
In this haphazard fashion the harder II
will be to remedy the fault which will
have TO he done some time. II In natur-
al that each family should want y sep
crate plot OF ground for burial place
but II is not possible for one to go into
a wilderness Of sagebrush and select that
plot indiscriminately and without any
system and perserye any semblance OF
order or symmetry IN the grounds. 1t
has been suggested that the proper thing
to do would be to organize cemetery
association which would elect full
complement Of officers whose duty II
would be to look after the interests OF
the association. This would place the
matter ON business footing and would
certainly be an improvement on the pre-.
sent condition.

Fall Treatment Of Strawberries.

AS the strawberry plant grows. or a,
least, Increases Its root growth, even in
cold weather when the ground is not froz-
en-. and also ripens its fruit early in the
spring, a large part OF the manure used
should be applied in the fall. or all times
this is the best to apply stable manure.
Used when thus applied its fertilizing pow
ers are not only most effective. but 1t also
acts as mulch to protect the plants from
cold and most important still, to lessen the
freezing and heaving the ground SO damag-
ing to their roots
For the very best results the strawberry
should be repeatedly and literally man
ured, before planting. while growing and
before making its fruit. But even a neg
lecied field can be transformed into the
most valuable spot on the place by the
following fall treatment: XIII all weeds by
shallow scrapng with hoes. II In matted
rows. thin plants to stand from 20 s
inches apart Mix we'll and apply evenly
over the beds, plants and all at the rate
of 100 pounds muriate OF potash and zoo
pounds dissolved bone per acre. over this
scatter evenly over the whole field ten tn
twenty, two horse loads stable manure
per acre.
Where the application ~ stable manure
is very heavy 1t is best to defer putting
NEST Of It on till ground begins to freeze
hard. Part of 1t should also be drawn of
before plants start growth in spring and
