releeraphing with Cannons.

When the first vessel completed the
passage Of the then new Erie canal IN
1925, there being no such thing as a
telegraph in those days, the news was
communicated to New York and to
Buffalo by cannons placed within hear
ing of each other all the way along
from Albany to each Of the other cities.
The signal was passed along in this
way from Albany to New York city
and back again to Albany in So min

FRUIT IN IDAHO.

More Money i'm s Acres of 1t
Than in $40 Acres of Grain.
Professor Alexander Mcpherson.
of Boise, AgriculturIl Inspector
of District No. 5. visited Haley
yesterday. says the Haley Times.
He fo' nd no diseased fruit here,
and as he had received no com.
plant | Q takes it for granted that
there is none in this county.
In northern Idaho they have the
best crop that they have had in
five years. Every rancher there
has money. and is buying new
wagons, tuggies and implements,
and making improvements, Nor
are the large farmers alone pros
pering. Many farmers there with
only five acres of apples or other
fruit are making more clear money
than can be realized from Sec
tion-640 acres-of wheat selling at
80 cents a bushel.
Idaho has magnificent climate
for fruit. Every portion of it that
is situated at 1000 feet or a lesser
altitude yields excellent fruit
fruit that has the call in all mar
kets in competition with the world.
Our fruit crop is, therefore, as
summing great Importance. Ten
years ago we had no fruit to ship.
Five years ago we shipped 300 cars.
Last year 1900 cars. the returns
from a Car of fruit average $500.
The above figures do not, of course,
include the local consumption, nor
tthe shipments by express in lest
than carload lots.
Although Mr.. Mcpherson is no,
required TO do SO, he notes things
in the agricultural line as he trav.
els, and uses his observations al
texts for addresses at the Farmers
Institutes For instance, he says
there are many WORKOUT mead
ows hereabouts, and that theil
owners are losing money every
year by them. They should b,
reseeded to grass and wheat, oat
or rye in the spring. After the
grass is cut the meadow will b.
much more valuable than. befor
reSeeding.
