Mankind is nomadic, and while the
sweetest poetry in the language is in
spired by the old home, the monumen-
tai work in the world has been accom-

the parental roof to pursue elsewhere
the quest for fortune. fame and high
success. Nevertheless the love for the
old home abides The reunion OF those
who remain and those who have de-,

compact a body as possible. They
have formed an association among

expend Slp an acre on their lands
right away. in the way OF improve.

No Weeds Nor BUS

|. We have . suggestion to offer
to the mon who are buying the
Carey lands west of town.
No weeds or bugs exist on these
lands, and il you are careful to
use clean seeds in planting, and
Of good thrifty varieties why
should you ever be troubled with
weeds or poor, scrubby varieties
Of produce?
When you come with your
farming equipment do not bring
seed nor fill out your car with in
ferior grain. Do not bring scrub
poultry and scrub stock to breed
on your new ~up-to-date farm.
Form an organization early, to
build up a sentiment agsinst these
things and to get uniform seeds,
good breeds of stock, good schools
and all the new end better things
that belong to your future electric
lighted homes.
Talk these matters over with
those near you, and start right.
The orchard is equally. impor-
ant, and if proper care is exercis
you need not have scrubby or
vormy fruit. Consult with the
ocal nurserymen to see what var
cites do best in this altitude and
climate, and do not be slow to
'rotit by their experience and ad-
ice. Fruits will be mo small
art of your living and your joys.

Everybody seems to know tn
meaning of g. B. but there is
chance for q guess, as to what G
@. stands for especially amonl
our friends who have just com,
from the east. In some circles il
stands for "golf cape" and a
bathing resorts it means ssge,
Clean" but throughout Idaho and
California it means "G!orious
Climate"
There is something about the
atmosphere here that seems to
tighten the physical main spring
and give new life.
Ship an old trusty driving horse
here from Indiana, let him nip
some bunch grass and see the sun
rise a few times and he will get
frisky and buck, Ship in a car
load of gentle mich cows from
Missouri; let them out on the
boundless PLAIN for a day and
then try to corral them at milking
time, and you will think there has
been a fire sale on buck food.
They wont corral worth a darn,
and when you finally get them in
side, they wont give up without
a two.step.
It's the climate ! tell you, the
altitude, the energizing atmos-
phere; it affects old men in the
same way for a generation or so,
and they get gay. That's the rea-
son Uncle Sam has been unable to
grasp and control the tendency to
over do the Roosevelt idea of anti
suicide among the early set
tiers of Utah and Bear Lake, but
as | tell You, it lasts only a genera
ton or SO; then younger folks
wont stand tor it.

Why Did We Do It?

People here often remark that
the early settlers who had the
choice of the whole country, took
up the poorest lands, and instan-
ces are cited to show the truth of
it.
Without going into individual
cases, we acknowledge that. the
early settlers often took up lands
rear the streams and timber, and
usually got rougher lands than
those who came later. Then again
the big Aourisbing settlements
near Blackfoot where so much
fine produce has been raised, does
not boast SO rich a soil, so deep a
soil nor 80 smooth a surface for
irrigation as that lying under the
canal to be put on sale next We'd
nesday.
The answer for this condition
is found in the fact that these
lands are so situated that it re
CURED a long and expensive canal
to water them, and no individual
nor colony had the nerve to under
take it. 1t had to be done by a
mammoth concern that could put
money into 1t for many years be-
fore they received any returns,
and the settlements already form
ed furnished the granaries from
which supplies could be taken to
feed men and teams during the
of construction.
The fact that SO much produce
and Of so good a quality has been
produced on the poorer, rougher
oars served notice on the later set
lers that the problem had been
efficiently tested and their In
'estments were perfectly safe.
The man who comes now to look
'ver the Carey Lands knows that
he experimental stage is past and
has better opportunities offered
i'm than those who were estab-
shed before him.
The same was true in the early
ettlement of America. The Pill
landed on a rock bound
past, and picked stone from the
'il before they could farm, the
farther west cleared dense
'res,s and grubbed ont the :
jumps, and later the agriculturist
'me to the rich prairies where he
'uld plant and use machinery +.
lthout having to remove any of
ese obstacles. :
The coming farmer on the Carey :
nds need do no experimentipg; :
can lay off his fields and plant :
