Before we left for the hills the
Epworth league called a social at

NWBERRIEs ARE VERY
PROFITABLE
Returns from One Acre
Amouns to $11O0 in
Cold Cash.

Eleven hundred dollars is the
amount received from the sale OF
dewberries from one acre by An
drew Jensen this year. To those
not acquainted with the marvellous
prodigality of the soil in the valley
around Emmett, the above state
nent NAV sound like a fairy tale
or dream of a rarebit fend. But
il is as true as gospel, and Andrew
Jensen has the records to prove it.
Two weeks ago, The Index gave
the record of sales of Strawberries
made by the Warden fruit farm
from half an acre-$770 for TOO
crates. or an average price of
$110 per crate. This was not a
very good year for strawberries
either, the cold. backward spring
and late frosts cutting down the
yield. The record of Mr.. Jensen
in realizing $l1OO from an acre of
dewberries adds emphasis to the
claim that in this section of Idaho
it is possible to make more money
off of 10 acres. with half the |
labor, than is possible on an East
ren farm of 80 or 100 acres.
Neither the strawberry nor the /
dewberry story is an exceptional
one. They are published because
The Index man happened to run
across them in his quest of news,
and because both Mr.. Warden and
Mr.. Jensen are in the habit of
keeping a record of sales of all
their products.
The dewberry patch is located
OIL what is known as the Emil
Johnson farm, few miles south
west of town. 1t comprises SO
acres and was bought by the Jen-
zen brothers last spring for &8400.
From one acre the new proprietor
las this year received 13 per cen,
N his total investment.

Billy Feen Appointed Clerk.

County Superintendent Cora
Bean came over from Caldwell
Tuesday to endeavor to calm the
troubled waters in the school dis

up the situation, she decided the
only hope of peace was to have an
Irishman on the board, and Billy
Feen got the job. He was appoint

There were but two addresses,
that of Senator Warner, rs chair

speech Of the nominee was listened
to with close attention by the great
crowd that over6owed the porch,

of vantage. Several times Judge
Taft was forced to stop by the vo-
ciferous cheering and once or twice
it was several minutes before he
was able to resume his remarks.
"Safe government" as opposed
to radicalism formed the keynote
of the Taft speech. Assurances
were given that the election of Mr..
