Crane Falls Power Company will lrrI.
gate Grand View Country BY
Electric Power

A few days ago A. J. Minneau re-.
ceived letter from D. w. Shelter Of
Cleveland, o., which will convey
good news to many who are interested
in the Chattin side of the river at
Grand View. The letter states that
the Crane Falls Power g. Irrigation
Co., will begin work in January and
should finish the installation of the
first 2500 k. W. unit by the middle of
the summer. The transmission lines
and pumping plants do not require
much time to install. The company is
practically financed and completed
and they are enabled to harness all the
power Crane Falls will make.
Iti s proposed by the company to
irrigate this tract of land by the use
of pumping plants, taking water di-
rect from the Snake river. The
pumps will be operated by electrical
power by the company at Crane Falls
This will open up very fine tract of
land and one that 10 particularly
adapted to fruit raising. The land
has all been taken up and consider
able improvement work done. Some
of the land along the river has been
under cultivation for several years,
water from river being used for irriga-
ton purposes. The Chattin ranch is
irrigated by set Of springs that have
been eveloped in the rim rock and
which give sufficient water to irrieate
about $50 acres of land. The possi-
bility of this valley has been suffi-
ciently demonstrated on this ranch.
Fruit grows to maturity and is sell
dom injured by frost. Three and
four crops of alfalfa are cut each year
and some small grain raised.
The valley is we'll protected on the
west and north by rim rock that
completely cidles the tract: This rim
rock affords ideal advantages for fruit
raising and those holding lsnd along
this protection will set out their hold
ings largely to fruit trees

Nut Chocolate CarameIS

"Nut Chocolate Caramels are a
rich, delicious confection, immensely
popular, says Fannie Merritt Farm
er in Woman's Home Companion for
December. Put three and one half
tablespoonfuls of butter in a sauce
pan, and when melting, add two cup
fuls of molasses, one cupful of brown
sugar, and one half cupful of milk.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved,
bring to the boiling point. add four
and one half squares of unsweetened
chocolate, and stir constantly until
the chocolate smelted. Let boil,
until, when tried in cold water, a
firm ball may be formed in the fin
gers. Remove from the range, add
one and one half teaspoonfuls of van
lila and one half pound of almonds,
blanched and chopped. Turn into a
buttered pan, cool, and cut in small
squares. -

State Horticultural Meeting


The Idaho State Horticultural AS

Association the 8 and 9 of January at
Caldwell. The association expects
to secure reduced rates on the rail-

ested in this line of work. The Hor-
ticultural association intends to offer
diplomas for 1st and End prizes for

kinds. The premium list has not
been published but will be sent to all
those making application as soon as
1T comes from the press.
W. c. Howie, our fellow towns

tural ASSOCIATION and holds the office
of vice president The association is
new one and growing very rapidly

and the benefits to be derived from
such an association are far reaching
and very important Those who are
IN position to attend should not ne

stock. Each one of these lines will
require particular system of farm
management and most of them will
presuppose some crop rotation.
The settler in laying his plans
should consider the character of the
SOIL We find that our soil is we'll
supplied with all mineral elements
essential to plant growth but lacks
humus-decayed organic matter--and
nitrogen To supply this deficiency
is imperative. That may easily be
done by growing alfalfa. The var
ious field crops yield nearly, if not
twice, as much after alfalfa has oc-
cupied the land as before. To get
the land into alfalfa as soon as pos
sible is therefore desirable exped-
lent
Alfalfa yields but lightly, or
scarcely any, the first year, hence
some other forage crop must be grown
on part of the land Beardless-a
hulled variety-barley may be grown
and cut for hay short time before
it is mature. Field peas and oats
sown together at the rate of one BUSH
Ell of peas to one of oats will yield

Country Life Commission
CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK

g. We recommend that the govern
ment cooperate with each state to en-
courage better sanitary conditions of
the country by system of education
and inspection
g. We recommend that the govern
ment render financial aid to farmers
and encourage the farmer to own his
own home, even though he go in debt
for the same because of the inspira-
tion and pleasure which comes from
working for his own and which we be-
lieve is more conducial to the tone of
local and national spirit.
TO- We recommend that the farm
er should work only that amount of
land conducive 70 financial success
and the limit of which will not con-
family for recreation and improve
ment-
IL We reeommend that the goss-
eminent should encourage every farm
to be a cooperative institution where
in the farmer is manager and that
each member of the family old enough
to work shall have financial interest
IL. We recommend the publishing
of bulletins to fit local requirements
so as to especially be applicable in
giving plans and data to aid farmers
in beautifying the home surroundings
and we believe that the grounds of the
isolated farm homes should be es-
pecially attractive.
13. We recommend that the gov
ernment should formulate a feasible
plan to be published In bulletin form,
which will encourage the business in
terests of farming communities to
make the farmers story in town more
pleasant and comfortable such as
may be afforded by club rooms and
rooms for the family.
IA. We recommend government
aid in the initial development of our
agricultural resources to the end that
it will advance every phase of agricul-
tural industry as best suited to each
section and thus make it better fit for
settlement
Is. We recommend corporation
with each state to encourage capital
to develope districts fit for settlement
and that the government plan and
supervise the development which
should include clearing, irrigating
and draining of land and especially
permanent good roads.
16- We recommend that the plan
for settlement shall be under govern
ment and state supervision and that
the settlers be encouraged by long
time paymentsw iithout interest and
that the second payment shall begin
at the end of the second year of crop
production.
18- We recommend that the gov
ernment and state encourage and su-
pervise a plan to commercialize the
crop production of every community
or district prior to settlement and. to
foster movement to commercialize
the products in the older established
districts, thus encouraging better
farming and establishing a foundation
for Organization among farmers to
better their interests
19- We recommend that in irri-
gated and humid sections, the govern
ment shall not allow an Individual to
exceed 44O acres of government land.
