PROFESSOR FRENCH.
The Lecturer of Idaho Univer-
sity Gives His Opinions
Of the Prairi0

Ill. 7. French, pr ofessor of agri-
culture at the university of Idaho,
made the trip from Moscow to
Grangeville for the purpose of ad-
ding to his store of knowledge of
this state, and seeing for himself
the manifold physical advantages
possessed by the Camas prairie.
Prof. French reached this city last
night His time is short, and he
returns to Moscow today. The
Press reporter was fortunate
to run across the gentleman before
he left, and to tap a mine of in
formation that should be of great
value to this community.
"This prairie is one of the rich
est valleys in the state" said the
professor. 1t reminds me of Cash
valley in northern Utah, which
boasts nine towns with from seven
to ten thousand inhabitants each.
81 am of course greatly interest
ed in the experimental station here,
and think it an infinite pity this is
to be discontinued. Properly con-
Quoted, the value of such station
cannot be overestimated.
~ intend, however, that the
farmers here shall conduct a series
of experiments on their own &C.
count. With this end in view ]
shall send to the leading farmers
seeds of various valuable grasses
for them to SOW and discover those
best adapted to the soil and climat-
ic conditions here, and among
others | shall send samples OF
clover, orchard grass, meadow
fescue and others.
"The cultivation of timothy
alone is a mistake. Timothy is a
very hard crop on the land, and
quickly exhausts it, rendering it
unfit for other purposes. These
other grasses keep up the fertility
of the land, and are far more nu-
tritious for cattle. This is a very
imporian point, and one that
makes Tor pr0iit In agriculture.
Southern Idaho has tried some
Of these grasses above mentioned.
Last year that portion Of the state
supported 100000 head of sheep
besides vast quantities of other
stock, with the hay grown in her
boundaries.
"Wha, do ! think Of Grangville?
| am certain of one thing This
city will double it's population
within two years. This is the
coming country. l have been all
through the east lately, and the
talk is of this section. The rail-
road activity is here and has served
to advertise this state as nothing
else would"

Contractors from the Clearwater are
sending for large quantities of hay and
grain and our farmers are raking in some
filthy lucre. This will prove a great
source of revenue all this year and pos
sibly next, and our farmers ought to
wear diamonds. We would advise the
raising Of diversified crops this year to
meet large demands from railroad con
struction and the mines. Potatoes and
vegetables will be in great demand aud
we ought not to have Kansas and Ne
braska to supply our merchants with
butter and eggs this coming year.
Spoka ne sends from five to ten thousand
q month to eastern merchants for these
things, which is a shame to the Palouse
country. Let us not be caught mapping
in here. With our hogs and cattle and
soil that will raise ANYTHING, there is no
reason why prosperity, with the future
before, should not be enjoyed by the
pioneers of this beautiful country.

We have no doubt, owing to pressure OF
immense travel that will necessarily en-.
sue owing to the Hump thai

prairie. The travelling public will in,

stream can take them. and with the
rapid construction now going on up tn,
