RICHFIELD THANKSGIVING
Passed Off Quietly With Grand
Ball at Night

Thanksgiving passed off very quietly
in Ricefeld, and there was not citizen
in the town but what had great deal
to be thankful for.
The rain fell steadily nearly all day,
and as the business houses were closed
the greater part of the day, the citizens
were enabled to spend the day with
their families and enjoy their Thanks
giving dinner at their leisure.
The hotels and boarding houses each
treated their guests to bountious re-
past, and it is safe to say that there
was not a person in Richfield on Thanks
giving day, but what had more to eat,
than was really good for them.
The Richfeld Hotel served dinner to
about sixty guests, and the bill of fare
would make person hungry to read it,
and the food was prepared and season
ed in manner that only the Chef at
that place. knows how to prepare and
the guests at the Richfeld Hotel, have
every reason to be thaRkful that they
We're there for their Thanksgiving din
ner.
A grand ball was given in the even
ing at the Weeter Hall, under the au-
spicies of the Commercial Club.
There was about fifty couple present
and all unite in declaring it, the best
ball ever given in Richfeld. The mu-
sic was furnished by Dorsey's Orches-
ira.
Supper was served at midnight by
Mrs. Farmer and those who partook are
oud in their praise of the meal prepar-
ID by her.

intention to get up two full teams,
there will be several more names
needed The city has furnished IA
hose cart, four hundred feet of hose
and another cart is to be made for
the purpose of carrying ladders and
other fire fighting contrivances.
There will be members enough, so
that if some should not be able to
go in case of fire there will be
some one capable of taking his place
and as Mr.. Foley has had a great
deal of experience in fire fighting,
it is expected that the company will
with a few trial meetings be able to
do good work in case of a fire.

mean while chatting pleasantly, they
were requested to sew at something
different. Materials were given for the
dressing of little dolls, clothes pin bod
les and crepe paper draperies. After
their work was completed, the dolls
were arrayed in all their beauty in a
prominent place, and each passed judg-
ment as to which one was the best
dressed. The vote resulted in a tie for
Mrs. " V. Bowers and Miss Emily
Fitch S dolls and when drawing, Miss
Fitch was the lucky one and was pre-
sented with hand painted china pin

Each guest matched cut advertise
ments in finding places for lunch. These
ads were quite unique and entertaining.
Mrs. Durnin, assisted by her two
daughters, served very delightful
lunch, this with the afternoon as a So

enjoyable time.

Alfalfa a Great Money-Maker
Government Issues Valuable Bulletin On the Growing
Of This Crop---Many New Uses Being Found
for Various Alfalfa Products.

The department of agriculture has
prepared for distribution Farmers
Bulletin No. 373, entitled, Irrigation
of Alfalfa" 1t discusses methods of
watering the crops and furnishes a
great deal of valuable information
in connection Herewith. The States
mans Washington bureau urges the
farmers of Idaho to write their men,
bers of congress for this bulletin
pointing out that it is a far more
practical guide than any former bull
letin issued by the government on
the subject. In the course of
statement bringing out the value of
the publication The Statesman cor
respondent says:
"The Importance of alfalfa to the
western farmers can not well be over
estimated. A single ton of alfalfa
may save the lives of many head of
stock by providing feed during short
periods of cold, stormy weather. AL
falfa can not be excelled as a prepar-
atory crop for soils that have long
been unproductive. Likewise it

that time, the early crops Will have
made farming profitable; the land
will have grown valuable, even with
out the orchard possibilities, and 1t
should be golden speculation 20
put out well selected orchards, at
this altitude, counting on protecting
them by means of smudging.
Prof Alexander Mcpherson, for
some time the horticultural instruct
or for the Idaho Irrigation Company,
and who delivered a number of lec-
lures here in Richfield, has not re-
commended this section for general
fruit culture. He has said that fruit
of most kinds can be rased here,
and that the soil conditions are ex-
ceptionally good, but that the late
frosts in the spring, common to all
higher attitudes, would make gener-
al fruit culture questionable. But
he has recommended apple culture,
and says that a well-selected orchard
should be very profitable. w. 9.
Guilford, in, charge of the expert
mental and demonstration farms for
the Twin Falls North Side company,
at Wendell and Jerome, goes farther
in declaring for fruit on the higher
attitudes, and says that he believes
this section of Idaho, even not count
ing the valley lands like Hagerman, /
can be made to equal North Yakima, I
Wenatchee, and other famous apple /
sections. Prof Shinn, of the idaho
station, sees great fruit
possibilities here Other good 'aen
have declared that they believe this
to be a great apple-growing possibil
ity. And the fact that apples are
this year being shipped to Boise from
Carey, above here and from Black
loot, and from Preston and other
nigh lands that the uninitiated would
say were in the grip of the Frost
King, support every prediction they
lave made
Thousands of apple trees will be
'et out on the Richfield tract, next
spring 1t looks like a winning pro-
position.
