Reader, did you ever live in a
country where the farmer made it
rain i'm just the right quantities
at his pleasure ?, That is the Sit
uatiOn over a large portion of
Souther Idaho today and soon to
be the condition of the new town
of Sunnyside, Elmorc County,
Idaho, and on the famous tract of
over 5000 acres OF irrigable land
contiguous
For years past tourists, home
seekers and residents of Idaho,
passing through on the trains of
the Oregon Short Line Railway
Company and noting the level land
and general contour of the country
would involuD tari1y exclaim TOO
bad. If they only had water for
that beautiful valley But the
long looked for metamorphosis is
now actually occurring to this dis
trict in the Snake river valley.
The system consists of the rcser-
voirs of Long Tom and Little,
Camas together with the reservoir
immediately adjoining the town of
Mount71n Home, and the projected
High Prairie reservoir Far up in
the rnountanins above Sunnysi lie
the great reservoirs of Long Tom
and Little CamaS conserve the
waters from the melting SHOWS and
of the mountain streams. That
conditions are ideal for success
fu. irrigation system is apparent
to the novice, for not only are the
] flood waters of streams in early
Spring conserved, but the continu-
GUS flow of streams from the very
! fountain nnead of water supply is

uted in proper quantities at the

department of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone Company of Salt
Lake. was in town last Monday.
He was here looking over the tel

installing a new central energy
system to replace the one we have

local exchange took him over the
entire exchange and took pains to
show him the rapidly increasing
business and the demand for better
facilities and improved service
Mr. Brown was very favorabay inn
pressed and stated that his report
to his superiors would be favorable
to the installment Of the new sys-
tenn.

ever since his arrival here over
installed here and it SEEMS that
his endeavors are going to meet
with success He realizes that
Mountain Home is entitled to the
pest and he is going to furnish it
if possible for him to do so. The
new system will be more easily

said, Much study must be given
the apple situation in Southern
Idaho before the proper results are
obtained. You must first deter
mine the kind of apple that thrives
best in this particular section
The isothermal conditions must
be considered and studied The
trees must be properly set out, the
roots properly trained and directed
against the wind In fact, every
thing from the clearing of the sage
brush to the harvesting of the
apple must be done along scientific
lines On the Commodore Jackson
and also the Heath ranch / find
the finest Spitzcnberg apple tina 1
have ever seen in this or any other
country
Prof Littooy took grip full of
these apples back to Wcnatchce TO
show the people of that community
what kind of fruit can be grown
at Mountain Home He also left
orders for ten boxes of the best
Spitzenbcrg apples from Conmo-
dore Jackson's ranch, his object
being to distribute them through
out the different apple markets of
the east for compar ison- Prof. Lit
tooy is coming back soon again to
make more detailed and careful
study of the apple proposition at
