others. l should say that the first
crop should be alfalfa or clover, just
as much as the settler can handle.
Alfalfa and clover are really the
basis of successful farming in this
section. They open up the soil, add
needed humus and nitrogen and the
decaying rootlets act as reservoirs
for moisture, materially reducing
the labor of irrigation and placing
the soil in the best physical condi-
ton. On account of the great depth
of the soil and the climatic condi-
tions, intensive farming is prefer
able to extensive farming. Every
farmer has stock, and feed for the
stock is first consideration. For
early feed l have recommended
crimson clover, millet and field
peas, the latter especially. Grim
son clover, when sown after the
danger from frost has passed, will
in 90 days make a very good hay
and furnish more or less pasture for
the rest of the season. Millet
will do the same but is not as good
feed nor is it so good for the soil.
Field p sas answer a dual purpose.
They will mature as quickly as
crimson clover and can either be
cut for hay or allowed to ripen and
used as concentrated food for ami
mails.
/ ''Wheat and oats are both paying
crops, while corn and corn wheat
as hog food, both as regards produc-
ton and results, are equal to the
best eastern corn. This was dem
onstrated on the Twin Falls expert
mentalal farm last year. Of course
we used corn which had been accli-
mated in Cassia county, and advise
the use of Cassia county corn until
such time as we have bred other
varieties for this climate. Potatoes

When you sow broadcast, at least
half of the grain lies very near the
surface. If the surface contained
sufficient moisture to sprout all the
grain at the same time, all would
be well. But in this country where
the dry winds absorb the moisture
from the surface quickly, experience
will show that the grain which is
narrowed in deeply will come up
first and that which lies near the
surface will not sprout until it is
irrigated. The result will be an
uneven ripening period, consequent
loss and poor grade of grain.
Grain sowed with drill is planted
at an even depth and will all come
up together. In my opinion drill
sowing is preferable under the con-
ditions which we find here.
''Plow deeply for everything ex-
cept grass. 1t is preferable to plow
deeply for grass also, but disking
will do if the evenness of the ground
surface Will permit.
''All these questions are taken W
at our farmers meetings and
would strongly advise strangers
who are in doubt as to how they
should begin their work to come tc
these meetings and find out. We
are always glad to have them attend
and to assist them in every way
possible. 1t is easy to make mis-
takes when you begin learning tc
farm by irrigation and the best way
to avoid them is to come to the
meetings and post up. Don't be
afraid to ask questions. -

ore produced in 1905 will exceed by
more than 20 per cent, that produced
in the year 1902, which is credited
with the greatest production ever
before recorded, namely 35,554, l3b
long tons. 1t is also probable that
the output OF iron ore in the United
States duriag the past year was
greater than the reported maximum
combined production OF the German
empire and Great Britain, the two
countries that rank next to the
United States in point OF production.
According TO John Birkinbine,
who prepares the annual report on
the production OF this mineral for
the year book Of the United States
Geological survey, the figures will
probably show also that neither Great
Britain nor Germany has in any
year furnished as much iron ore as
was taken from the mines OF Min
nesota in 1905, a state that prior to
1884 had never produced a pound OF
iron ore. To emphasize the magni.
tude OF the development which has
taken place in the iron ore resources
Of Minnesota it is only necessary tt
state that the Mesaba range alone
which first produced ore in 1892
contributed to the worlds supply ia
1905 as much if not more iron ore
than did(the German empire.
Over 20 per cent OF the iron ore
produced in the United States in
1905 came from the Lake Superior
region, which is the worlds princi
pal source of supply for this mineral
The shipments of iron ore from that
region in 1905 exceeded $4,000, 00(
tons. Activity in the iron ore in.
dustry was not, however, confined
to this section, for increased outputs
of iron ore are reported from the
eastern states, the southern states,
and the Rocky Mountain region.
Attention might properly be
called to certain interesting features
OF the years industry.
Previous TO 1905 no mine had
ever produced more than 100000
tons of iron ore in one year, but in
1905 production OF 100000 tons
from a single mining operation was
reported.
