LARGE ACREAGE
WILL Be SOWN
ALL CONDITIONS HAVE FAVORED
THE FARMER DURING FALL
AND WINTER, AND GRAIN
CROPS WILL BE LARGE.

Farmers in the city from the Gift
ford Tom Bea1l and Culdesac sec
tions, regard conditions favorable
for early spring seeding and predict
the largest acreage of spring grain
in the history of the country
The favorable fall weather per-
nitted the farmers to plow late in
to the winter and large areas are
now ready for spring seeding. The
ground is now almost entirely free
from frost and with little warm
weather the soil will be in a good
condition for early plowing.
Farmers state the moisture has
rot penetrated the ground to the
usual depth but there is sufficient
water to nourish the crops until late
in the spring, at which time heavy
1ains can be depended upon.
The usual acreage of winter wheat
was seeded last fall and with an
increase of spring grain the yield
VIII be particularly heavy one.
The light winter has been especially
favorable to the fall grain which has
made a splendid growth and is of
good healthy color.
The uncertainty Of the grain mar
ket eliminates the possibility of con-
II acting this early in the season
and garmers generally believe in the
farming districts that the building
of the road from the prairie district
/ to Riparia will bring independent
buyers into the field from Portland
next season and the coming of the
Independent buyer is regarded as an
assurance of better prices for all
grains.

GOOD VALUE
in PUBLICITY
CLUBS IN SOUTH
ERN IDAHO ARE SHOWING
GOOD RESULTS FROM THEIR
CONCERTED ACTION. 4

BOISE, Feb. 21.-That the League
of Southern Idaho Commercial Clubs
hit upon good plan when it's menu
bers decided to join forces aud to-
gotEed advertise southern Idaho is
evidenced by the number of requests
for data on the Gem State received
daily by Secretary Reilly Atkinson OF
the league, says the Statesman. Not
a day passes that a large number ng
inquiries are not received from all
sections of the country from persons
desiring to locate in Idaho or to-
make investments. In the majority
of these received in the past 1t was
stated that the writer's had monsy to
invest ranging from $1,000 to $fe.-
600.
From the Office of the Boise Conn
mercial club a few days ago IT'S LETT
ters were sent out one lay to persons
who had written for data or south
ern Idaho. The secretary of every
other club in the league viii also
answer these letters, for each is Civ
en- a copy, according to the leagues
plan, and each gets the name OF the
writer, which is kept, and in that
way large mailing list is kept ON
hand for future use. This list Is
growing very rapidly and before
long, according to the way letters
are being received by the league Sec
retary, will reach the mark of sew
eral thousand. L
While the majority of inquiries
come from the East, it is evident
from the large number received from
points west of Idaho that many
/ coming from the East to the coast
are looking for locations in this and
neighboring inland states. Many
real estate sales in southern Idaho
have been made to persons now Io-
Gated west of the Gem State, accordA
ing to reports received from towns
in the league. At Mountainhome the
Great Western Beet Sugar company
has made most of it's sales of late TO
residents of points on the coast
The concerted action of towns ian
the Commercial Club league has
proven even more valuable than ft
was first thought 1t would, and the
movement promises to develop into
one second to none in the upbuiIding
of southern Idaho. The plan is muck
cheaper, and every section OF this
part of the state where there Is n
commercial club that belongs to the
league has the same benefit from this
advertising as the other.

REV. VAN VERT, DISGUISED AS
LABoRER, GETS EVIDENCE TO
PROSECUTE GEORGE KERN
FOR VIOLATING SUNDAY LAW.

The case of the state of Idaho VS..
George Kern, charged with keeping
his saloon at Morrowtown open on
Sunday, is on trial today before q
jury in Justice of the Peace Erb's
court.
The case is one arising out of the
crusade started at Westlake by Rev.
Van Vert, where he secured liquor.

afterwards visited the Morrowtown
saloon and purchased liquor on Sun
day contrary to the terms of the new
Sunday closing law. The state intro
duced the testimony Of ". r. Van
Vert, Sam Parsley, E. d. Smith and
Frank Eastmen.

sold. The defense of Kern is made
on the grounds that the room in
which the saloon is conducted is a
part of the Morrowtown hotel and
that the hotel washroom and wait
ing room are in the barroom. 1t is
stated that since the Sunday closing
law became effective that curtains
have been placed about the bar and
that no liquor has been sold, but
guests of the hotel have been allow
ed the freedom of the room.
The case is on trial before the fol-
lowing jury: W. H. Kimbrough. B
Ward, c. Held w c. Cunningham,
Scott Rogers and J. H. Riggle,
The prosecution is conducted by
County Attorney Daniel Needham,
while Attorney S. o. Tannahill is ap-
pearing for the defense. The case
