LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS.
One OF the largest establishments III
the Snake River valley which enjoys
the fullest confidence among it's patrons
Is Van Tassel Bros, limited retailers
OF general merchandise. So much de-
ponds on able management of all bust
ness and with this end ever in view,
Mr.. Otis NJ. Van Tassel, general man
ager of the Sugar City store and an
equally large establishment ut Rex
burg. has brought around him the most
efficient clerks and sales people that
money will procure.
Being man of the kneenest business
Judgment, Mr.. Van Tassel looked well
into the future and he has made II
splendid success of his business from
Its inception The Sugar City store
has its home in a spacious brick build
Ing which Is one of the newest In the
city. and the goods carried are always
kept up-to-date.
One of the very important features
OF the business Is the millinery depart
ment conducted by Mr.. Van Tassel's
wife. This department. IS conceded to
be one of the best in the entire state
OF Idaho. Customers In this depart
ment of the business come from every
section of the great Snake River val
ley.
Nothing that should be carried by a
similar establishment is found lacking
among the various stocks included in
the big establishment. 1t is a pleasure
for the intending purchaser to view the
neat displays and the smallest wants
of all patrons are catered to. This Mr..
Van Tassel asserts Is what has enabled
him to build up his present large and
rapidly growing business.

In the northern, part of Bingham and
that part Of Blaine county adjacent
thereto the Big Lost River Land & Ir-

the reclamation OF 1929 acres, the
greater portion Of which Is yet open
to settlement. The Canyon Canal com
pany, of Canyon county, has complet-
ed the work of supplying water for a
tract of 5,S29 acres, all OF which Is now
in private ownership. In Bannock
county 12.222 acres have been made
habitable by the work of the Portneuf
Marsh Valley Irrigation company, This
tract is also fast being settled upon.

ADVANTAGES OF IRRIGATION.
1t is pointed out that soil, sunshine
and water are the three elements alb
solutely necessary to plant life. 1t
stands to reason that, other condi-
tons being equal, plants thrive best
under q maximum amount of sun
light 1t Is further in harmony With
reason and science that plants do
not thrive best under a maximum or
minimum supply OF water; but the
same is to be applied skillfully and at
such times and in such quantities
as experience and scientific training
dictate. 1t is obvious, therefore, that
unless the natural raln-fall could be
regulated as to time and quantity, as
one regulates head-gate In canal,
st will cease to be better means or

The varying results obtained in diff
ferent localities depend upon the quail
ity, quantity and proportion, respec-

their intelligent handling by the farm

for altitude and other climatic phe-
