but proceeded for Plymouth, where it ar

LARGE ACREAGE
TO Be WATERED
Artificial Lake on MinidOka
Tract Larger Than
Payette Lakes

d. w. Ross, supervising engineer
of the reclamation service for Idaho,
has just returned from trip over the
Minidoka tract. says the Evening Cap
ital News, which he made in the
company of ]. B. Bond, Arch M. Gill
bert and F. c. Horn, engineers in the
+service. The trip was made princi-
paIly for the purpose of looking over
the work being done by Orman &
Cook and to adjust few matters pre-
|paratory to making a final settlement
for the contract, which amounts to
$450. 700.
Work all over the great project is
progressing nicely. he said, and water
is being delivered through number
of the main bitches, although very
few of the ranchInen are ready for 1t.
The settlers, ne says, are very active,
and are doing "a great deal of seeding
and preparing the soil for irrigation.
There will be, he said, fully $1,000
acreage of grain is up and looking
fine, with every prospect for heavy
tyield this fall.
At Rupert he said, the citizens
have formed club and intend build
ing a club house and will put in a
large gasoline launch on Lake VOL
colt, which is the largest lake in
southern idaho. covering an area of
$4,000 acres-three times the size of
Payette lakes. For the first seven
miles this body of water is two miles
wide and for the remaining 35 miles,
lis from one-half to one and half
miles in width.
The reclamation service, he con-
tinued, is setting out small park of
forest trees around the lake near the
dam with a view of planting extern
sively In the future.
Mr.. Ross said that six crews are
busy along the project putting in
concrete headgates, ETC., while five
crews are installing temporary wood
en- ones to give immediate service,
while the material for the concrete
work is arriving.

CROP
new INDUSTRY
Farmer Of Culdesac Section
Will Cultivate 1000
Acres
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller. -t
CULDESAC, Idaho. May 16.--Farm
ers in the vicinity of Culdesac will
cultivate 1000 acres of potatoes this
season for commercial purposes. Sew
eral tracts ranging from 80 to as
acres will be cultivated by individual
farmers and almost every farmer will
have a crop of or 10 acres.
Potato buyers from the coast cities
and from California pronounce the
potatoes grown here superior to any
other part of the northwest and a pre-
MUM above TIE market price was
paid this spring.
A feature of the cultivation of DO
tatoes here is that the crop Is not
dug until late in the spsieg and Ia at
once placed on the market. BY this
method the potatoes are taken from
the ground in splendid marketable
condition and gain of is per cent
is secured over digging the crop. In
the ia II. Growers state that shrink
age OF 10 per cent is sustained by
digging in the fall and a gain Of 8
per cent over fall weight Is secured
by leaving the potatoes In the ground
over winter.
The best potatoes are secured on
the high ridges, while an excellent
quality are secured on the benches
and lower lands. The yield will run
from to 10 tons to the acre and the
market varies from year to year until
an average pric cannot be computed.
The price this year was $1.1o per
sack. while growers would gladly con-
tract large acreages at SO cents per
sack.
The most successful digging is per-
formed by machine built particular
iy for this work and with the aid of
which 1t is possible to dig eight acres
per day.
