mail copy to any adrdess. A num-

tending to send birds to this show and
expect to pull down their share of the

very good poultry and the interest in
good stock is increasing. With i'm
proved condition and a greater num-

Equitable Loan & Savings Company
to Operate in Mountain Home
by Local Agency

w. H. McLain, travelling represent
ative of the Equitable Savings & Loan
association is in the city arranging
with local firm to act as representa-
tives for this city. This is one of the
strongest institutions of the kind in
the west. They are fully guaranteed
und er the laws of the state Oregon
and as savings institution cannot be
surpassed. Such an Office in Mountain
Home should do much in helping build
up community. They make loans
on long time payments with low rate
of interest and men with limited means
can build home and pay for it on
the monthly installment plan and in a
short time have complete possession.
The town is still to small to support
a local company as many cities do, ard
a large concern of this nature operat-
ing in the te erritory with a local repre-
sentative can give as many benefits as
a local concern. Boise, during the
past six or seven years, has erected
over 700 homes by the assistance of
its Building and Loan association
Many of these families would today
be living in rented houses were it not
for the benefits offered by its building
association. The plan is good and
Mr. McLain will take pleasure in ex-
planning the details to anyone interest
ed. He will be in the city for several
weeks and those contemplating making
an investment or securing a loan
should talk with him.

PREPARING SAGFbRUSH
LAND FOR IRRIGATION
Interesting Article Sent Out by Experiment
Station to Assist the New Set
tier in Idaho.

The rectangular leveler is made of
2x12 inch stuff and four horses are
required to pull it. 1t is 20 feet long
and five feet wide. The cross piece
near the center is shod with steel and
acts as scraper The cross pieces
at the ends re-inclined backward and
placed high enough so as not to load
up with earth. This leveler loads on
high places and drops the soil in the
low ones.
The beam is uesd on small plots of
ground where there is too much turn
ing for the use of the large rectangu-
lar leveler. 1t is made of 6x6 inch
stuff and the length may be IL or 16
feet as desired.
The less slope there is the more
carefully should the land be leveled.
The ground should be made level
across the slope as nearly as possible.
Up and down the slope no more grad
ing is necessary than to permit the
water to flow along without flooding.
The cost of leveling at contract prices
will range from So to Is per acre
depending upon the character of the
ground.
Flowing should be deep, at least 8
inches. That will open up the soil
for the roots of plants and will per-
nit irrigation water to enter the soil
more readily. Disking before plow-
ing makes blowing easier and puts the
soil in better tilth. Flowing may be
much shallower or wholly neglected if
the surface of the ground is thorough
ly worked up by disking and harrow
ing, and to great advantage, provided
the land is subsoiled from IL to 20 in
ches deep-the deeper the better.
The best time to plow is when the soil
is neither so wet that it puddles nor
so dry that it turns up in large Jumps.
Early in spring suitable weather fol
blowing is uncertain, hence wher
blowing is done in the spring planting
is delayed longer than desirable. Il
is therefore advisable to do consider
able blowing in the fall even though
it must be done with the soil dry. Il
left rough the elements will disinte-
CRATE the Jumps of soil during the win
ter and in spring it can be worked
down in good shape. When irrigation
water is available the land may b.
irrigated before blowing The wate
thus applied is not lost; in fact lant
irrigated late in fall will produce bet

STATEMENT
Recent UiteTanCes In Republican Are
Entirely Erroneous and
Misleading

Bruneau, Idaho, Dec. 2, 1908.
Editor Maverick, Mountain Home,
Idaho
There is an article IN recent issue
of the Republican under the heading
Sheep Overlooked" l wish to make
reply to.
The Republican tells us that Mr..
Hobby, the stock inspector of Elmore
County found several thousand more
sheep than did our assessor, also sites
another county that the assessor found
several thousand more sheep than did
the inspector and without any explain
alton leaves its readers to draw their
own conclusions, which, to the unin-
formed, would not be very favorable
to our assessor.
Now that statement is true and we
will not try to deny it. But let's
have the facts.
Now in the latter county, Ada, the
sheep are inspected before they reach
the jurisdiction of the inspector.
Consequently his books only show
chat sheep have been missed by Mr..
Hobby and the several other in
spectors.
Mr.. Hobby inspects not onlyall the
sheep of Elmore Co, but also thou
sands that winter in Ada, Canyon,
Owyhee and Cassia counties. These
sheep are all inspected as they cross
the inspection line of Gilmore coun-
ty. Therefore it is no wonder that
Hobdy's books show several thousand
more sheep than do the assessor S.
Yet another reason for this Tbs
market conditions this fall caused
several thousand lambs to be "helc
over which are not assessable unit
next spring, yet they are counted OF
the inspectors books.

the new manager of the Great Western
Beet Sugar company has been making
this his headquarters for several
months and during the past week has
moved their household effects into the
Garrett house where they will reside.
Mountain Home has gained, as resi-
dent, a man that will be most valu-
able to her interests. On his first
visit to this section Mr.. Yerkes recog-
nized the value of this country for
agricultural purposes and more espec-
tally as fruit lands. 1t was Mr..
Yerkes who sent Mr.. Littooy here
nearly two years ago to make report
on the adaptability of this country for
fruit raising. On this report and
through this move several wealthy
and progressive men have been inter
ested in the valley. Mr.. Yerkef
fully appreciates the advantages that
exists here and will be an important
factor in the development Of our re-
sources. AS manager of the new
company his opportunities will be un-
limited and the success of his effori
will be watched with considerable in

Grubbing sagebrush with mattock
is laborious and at contract prices
costs close to $5 per acre, including
burning. A less expensive method is
that of using railroad irons. Two
rails, 16 feet long, are bolted togther
and drawn by horses over the
ground the team doubling back over
the same tract. In this way more
than half of The brush is torn up.
The remainder has to be grubbed by
hand. By means of a special home
made horse rake, such as farmers use
in the middle west for raking corn
stalks, the brush is raked into wind
rows ready for burning. At contract
prices clearing in this way costs So
per acre. A machine grubber, known
as "steel grubber, has been used
elsewhere, but has not been tried
here. That machine takes out every
brush and does very satisfactory work.
The bitches should be surveyed be
fore the land is leveled. Make them
square with the world whenever
the conformation of the ground per-
mits of it. Plan to run the water in
the direction of the greatest slope.
The head bitches should be about 300
feet apart and when they cannot be
at right angle to the line fences run
them on grade of one tenth to
fifteen -hundredths of a. foot to
100 feet. AS regards the location Of
the bitches and laying out of sys-
tenn for the distribution of the water,
each farm is problem in itself.
When whole forty or eighty acre
farm has one regular and uniform
slope it is a simple matter to locate
the bitches. Where there is question
as to the practicability of any pro-
posed ditch or as to its proper location
the service of surveyor should be Sc
cured.
To prepare the land we'll for irriga-
tion is very important. In its ma
tural state the surface of the ground
has slight inequalities and often
washes occur here and there, hence
a certain amount of leveling is re-
quired. Generally it is not necessary
to scrape off more than few inches
in depth on the high places to spread
over the low places. Heavy grading
should be avoided in so far as possible
For the rongh work, that is, NOV
ing earth at the outset, there is n
better tool than the Fresno scraper
To loosen the soil on the high place
a disk harrow is used. For the fina
smoothing over the rectangular level
er, is a serviceable implement.

outside of town for their groceries.
We think it would be in good taste for
all such to move from the town and
go and live in the vicinity they send
for their goods. The merchant out
side the city limits does not contribute
one cent toward building up our town.
Those who do this should reform.
