The Truth is Good Enough.

SAYS the Weiser World: The
decision of the executive committee
of the Idaho State press association
to accept the invitation of Wash
ington county commercial bodies
to hold the convention for 1906 at
Lardo should meet with hearty APP
probation among the fraternity
throughout the state. In very
sensible letter sent to members
some time ago President Bates
urged the ACCESSIBILITY of giving
some attention to Idaho, rather
than to the periodical effort to work
the railroads for every courtesy
they could be induced to extend.
Idaho has much in scenic attrac-
tons that should interest the news
paper men first Of all. The con-
vention at Lardo will introduce
some members of the association
to an entirely new section of the
state, to region that in scenic
beauty is comparable with any in
the country. Once viewed the
Payette lakes can not but call forth
profound admiration. Following a
concentrated effort can be made to
bring this poets retreat to the at
tention of scenic lovers. With the
newspaper men organized in a
movement to advertise the States
attractions great deal of progress
can be made. In ensuing years
other sections of the State can be
visited. If editors will but take
the initiative and give mere col
umn a week to exploitative matter
on their communities and adjacent
country Idaho will soon obtain
what it needs as bad as railroads.
people. The World suggests that
the stories be anything but glow
ing imagery; "The Truth About
Idaho is Good Enough"

Increase in Apple Crops.

Consul Mahin, of Nottingham, for
wards report based upon publications
in German newspapers describing eX-
periments looking to the Improvement
of declining apple orchards:
OF five long rows of apple trees one
row was left untreated and the four
others had different combinations
of manurings. The row left I'M
MANFRED gave 104 pounds of APP
pies per tree during the five
years from 1900 to 1904, both
inclusive, and in the fifth year (1904) ,
which was the year of maximum yield
for the entire orchard, the weight of
the apples per tree was 30 pounds and
the number 294. The best results from
manuring were obtained by complete
manure, consisting of IA pounds of
sulphate of ammonia, ~ pounds of
muriate of potash, and 49, pounds of
basic Stag per tree per annum, applied
to the roots during the winter Dur
ing the five years the yield per tree
from this dressing was 1913 pounds of
apples, while by the fifth year the bear
ing increased to 401 apples, weigh
ing 100 pounds, per tree-that is, the
weight OF the apples per tree increased
by this manuring from 80 pounds on
the unmanured trees to 105 pounds on
the manfred trees, or 900 per cent
while the number of apples increased
from 294 to 401 per tree, or SO per
cent. The increase in the average size
of the apples is remarkable. Those
from the unmanured trees averaged
2.9S ounces each, and those from the
MANFRED trees, 4.19 ounces each.

Corn Growers Are wa,tefuI

While fully recognizing the value of
corn crop in all sections and particu-
larly in the West, where it is so largely
grown, the fact remains that more of it
is wasted than should be- Western
farmers wear out themselves and their
horses blowing under constalks which
could be put into the ground much
more easily and inexpensively by cut
ting the stalks, shredding them and
feeding them TO the stock, so as to have
the manure for the soil. If humus is
needed it can be much more easily
supplied than by blowing under corn
stalks. Farmers of the East cannot
understand why their brethren of the
West follow corn with corn; perhaps,
in the East, it is realized that the time
has been when the changes was forced
on them, as it must be, eventually. in
the West. We may follow corn after
corn now and for some years to come
successfully, but We'll have to stop if
sometime. Further, why should we
continue it until forced to stop, either
in the West or elsewhere?
If sections have found the rotation
of crops profitable is there any reason
to assume that it will not be equally
successful elsewhere? On the other
hand, if soil is able to grow crop af-
ter crop of corn with success. is it not
fair to assume that a short rotation
say three years, would give crops which
would be more profitable and leave the
soil In much better condition? Think
it over, or, better still, experiment 4
little on small plots, and see what the
result is.
