Big Yield of Sugar BeetS.

H. w. Mansfield, publisher of
the Nampa Leader, was in the city
Yesterday. He states the beet sugar
crop had proved much heavier than
was at first estimated, the yield
of all fields surprising the sugar
managers. The total yield of the
1000 acres planted has exceeded the
estimates by 5000 tons. The
tract belonging to Duval lust west
of the Y at Nampa made heavy
yield. The first five acres dug
went little better than % tons
to the acre. Some tracts of bottom
land at points farther west ran as
high as twenty-six tons. One man,
whose field turned off IA tons tc
the acre, told Mr.. Mansfield that
he made good profit. He had not
felt any confidence respecting the
venture and the field was giver
very little attention, but getting
such yield, he had determined t.
plant twice as much ground mex
season and devote himself to main
tanning the best possible conditions
for the production of a heavy crop

Why Pop Corn Pops"

''What makes popcorn pop"
asks the inquisitive youngster. BY
the evasive replies he receives, says
Good Housekeeping, it is evident
that the real reason is not general
ly known. The different kinds of
corn contain oil in varying proper
tions. In popcorn there is a con-
siderable amount. This expands
when heated, becomes explosive,
and causes the kernels TO pop open.
In common corn the percentage of
oil is small, and for this reason il
only cracks, without exploding,
when heated. Popcorn is inexpen-
sive and nutritious as we'll, if not
used to overindulgence. From soup
to dessert it finds a place on our
menu, while a great variety of
sweets may be made from it. 1t is
pleasing conceit of today to
sprinkle large and perfect grains of
freshly popped corn over light, thin
cream soups, just as each portion is
served. Floating on the surface,
they are certainly attractive, and
are also a most excellent substitute
I for waters or croutons. Another
clever idea is to serve fresh buttereC
I popcorn with salad. The combina
tion is delicious and the corn shoulC
be tastefully arranged, encircling
mound of salad. Popcorn, eithe
sugared or puttered, may fittingl.
be served with plain ice cream an
ices, and the combination is bot
novel and dainty.

Fuel Famine at Boise.

Al evidence of the seriousness
of the fuel situation in Boise is the
fact that one of the coal firms, the
Boise Commission company, is 10
cars behind on orders. Furthermore,
the orders for this coal were mostly
placed during the first and the mid
die of the summer. The company
went to the expense Of erecting
bins TO store 5000 tons, and Sc
cured teams and wagons to deliver
the coal, and all are useless. The
company, as result of the reduc-
ton of freight rates on wood from
Council, endeavorcd to contract Tor
5000 cords, but was unable to Sc
cure any at all. Mayor Pinncy,
who several days ago, wrote letters
TO the Central Coal & Coke company,
of Salt Lake, and the Union Pacific
freight agent concerning the GOA
situation in Boise, has received ar
answer from the coal company,
which he says is encouraging.
The company writes that it will
probably not be long before Boise
and all places on the Oregon Shor
Line will have sufficient supply
of coal. The letter states that tht
trouble lies with the railroads II
not furnishing enough cars, bu
suggests that this will soon be rem
edied, and the different cities anC
towns in the afflicted districts will
have an ample supply. Statesman
