IDAHO ALMOST HEADS LIST
Government Statstcian Says Idaho Leads All Other
States in Average Yields of Wheat, Potatoes and Hay
and is Near the Top for All the Products of the Farm

States average rye yield per acre was
1874 bushels per acre.
''The grand total value of the cereal
yields in Idaho this year l roughly esti-
mate at s13, POP, 692.
''In estimating the wheat yield in
Idaho for this year, am firm in the be-
lief that | am too low. The exact
figures, when compiled, I am sure will
be closer to $4,000, 600 than to Y. 600. :
900.
Idaho is coming to be recognized.
also, as one of the greatest potato
states in the union. In the matter of
yield per acre, it takes first rank. but
in acreage, of course, it falls far be-
hind such states as New York. which
in 1907 produced over 4l,0Oo. 900
bushels; Wisconsin with %. 900. 900
bushels, and Michigan with 26,OOO. 600
bushels. But when you come to think
that in 1907 the average yield per acre
all over the United States was only
95.4 bushels per acre, and then consider
that ldaho's average yield this year
was very close to 200 bushels per acre.
the fertility of this Gem State soil and
the adaptability of Idaho's climate to
potato culture is best understood.
This year there were 5000. 900
bushels of potatoes raised from sixteen
thousand acIes of land in Idaho. These
figures are only approximate, and far
too low, but indicate the remarkable
possibilities attached to this branch of
agriculture in the Gem State.
I'm the matter of hay there is but
one single state in all the union that
can compare with Idaho in the average
yield per acre, and that state is Colo
rado.
l haven't comparative figures at
hand, but | am inclined to believe that
the sugar beet acreage in this state de-
creased rather than increased this year.
But even so, the showing for 1909 is
remarkable. estimate that the Weld
this year was $4,000, 900 pounds, which
at AZ cents per pound, will bring the
beet raisers of this state the not insig-
nificant sum of 81, 925, 900.
'The estimated grand total value of
the seven principal farm crops in Idaho
for 1909 is S29, 446, O92.
Idaho has over thirty-six and half
million dollars worth of livestock. as
follows: Horses, S12, $50, 900: mules.
1902, 900; milch cows, 81, SOS, 600: other
cattle, Sc, 420, 600; sheep, Sl3, $50, 600;
swine, 81, ,037, 900.
Idaho is indeed wonderful state
and the way it is being developed is
nothing less than marvellous. The
Forthcoming census will develop some
remarkable figures. Every town and
every community visit in my rounds
In search of data for the government
displays evidences of progress and
prosperity and magical growth. Idaho
ans should be proud of their state. 1t
is magnificent commonwealth and its
future is more than brilliant. "-Poca-

GOOD ROADS
REPLACE SAND
Good Covering Of Clay Put
on Sandy Stretches
Most of the Work Volunteer, But
Road Work Due Will be
Used in Continuing
the Work.

Oliver M. Hall is to be highly com
mended for the work he is doing on the
road north of town. Ever since the
road has been travelled a half mile of
sand in an otherwise good road, has
made the road the most dreaded of any
IN the country. Various temporary ex-
pedients have been suggested, and
some Of them tried, but the results were
anything but satisfactory. Wednesday
morning Mr.. Hall started to put layer
OF twelve to eighteen inches of clay
over the sand, the result being an ex-
cellent road. Most of the work SO far
has been volunteer, but those who have
not paid their road tax have been called
upon and will later do their share.
Work was begun Wednesday morning
with the following force: Fall Creek
Sheep comany, two men and teams; d.
w. Davis, two men and teams: H. C.
and Minor Wones, two teams; Conrad
Miller, w. F. Jasman, John Tiede,
John Bergstrom, with teams: Road
Overseer Hall and son and Frank Per-
kins made up the force. Work was be-
gun near DR.. Brakes house, and con-
tinued through the sand along the
Fitzgerald place. Thursday the most
of the deep sand between DR.. brakes
and Spring Hollow was covered, and
Mr.. Hall announced that work would be
kept up all week.
The Commercial club provided lunch
every day. ]. R. Clark was chef the
first two days, but retired in favor of
J. B. Holloway, Friday. Mr.. Holloway
changed the bill of fare by adding fif-
teen pies ''like mother used to make
and as many cans of Van Camps pork
and beans, and kept the workers good
natured.
Mr.. Hall intends later to sand the
Spring Hollow grade. The grade lead
ing from the river to the bench should
also be sanded, as it becomes very
slippery in freezing weather.

Great is Idaho-Greatl

In agriculture it comes near to out
stripping all other states in the union.
That sounds like stretching of the
truth, but it is fact, substantiated by
statistics gathered by the department
of agriculture.
A. F. Hit, formerly state pure food
and dairy commissioner for Idaho, now
one of the staticians for the agricultur-
al department in territory covering
parts of three states, has compiled an
estimate of the crop yields in Idaho for
this year, and the figures are nothing if
not startling.
He said: 81 find that there were ap-
proximately 262, acres of winter
wheat harvested in Idaho this year.
The average yield was 20 bushels per
acre, or total of 1888, 900 bushels.
There were 174,00 acres of spring
wheat, yielding an average of 26 bush
els per acre, the total yield being A.
524, 900 bushels. The grand total spring
and winter wheat acreage for this year
was 436, 900 acres, the approximate to-
tai yield was IL, f22, 900 bushels, and
this at rs cents per bushel was worth
SO, 091, 500.
''Idaho leads all other states in its
average yield per acre in wheat. In
1907, the average yield all over the
United States was IA bushels per acre.
This year Idaho's average yield per
acre in winter wheat was 29 bushels.
The average in Kansas, which is held
to be the greatest winter wheat state
in the world, where last year the yield
in this cereal was eighty four and
half million bushels, was 145 bushels
per acre-just exactly half of Idaho's
average yield. Washington's yield this
year year was 25.S bushels, Oregon's
21, Missouir's lat, and Ohio's 15.9.
Idaho leads them ALL,
''The same is true of spring wheat,
The United States average yield per
acre was 15.9. This year Idaho yielded
26 bushels, Washington 20.6, Oregon
1877, Minnesota 16.5, Kansas 11.5 and
North Dakota 1877.
''In the matter of oats Idaho's show
ing is equally wonderful. This year
5000, 900 bushels were raised from ap-
proximately 197, 900 acres, an average
yield of Al bushels per acre. Accord
ing to the department statistics in
1907 the average United States yield
per acre of oats was 237 bushels, with
only 5 states yielding above 40 bushels
per acre, and Idaho was one of them.
The value of Idaho's oat yield this year
at As cents per bushel was 81, TAB, 600.
1.-TWO million, four hundred eighty
thousand bushels of barley We're raised
in Idaho this year from 1000 acres, an
average yield of 40 bushels per acre.
At 54 cents per bushel, this yield was
worth 81, 339, 900. In 1907 the average
United States yield in barley was 23.S
bushels per acre. with only five states
above the 40-bushel-per-acre mark
Colorado, Nevada. Oregon, Idaho and
Washington.
"In rye, Idaho this year produced
46, 440 bushels from 2l60 acres, an av-
erage yield of 21.5 bushels per acre, the
total yield being worth at 81 cents per
bushel, S2S, 1872. In 1907 the United

TWO EIGHT-YEAR-0LD BOYS
ARE UP FOR TAKING A HORSE
Little Fellows Lead Animal Out OF
Barn just to Get n Nice
Ride.

Two s-year-old boys were arrested for
taking a horse by the police at 2 o'clock
Friday morning and kept in jail until Pro-
baton Officer Carver took charge of them
shortly before noon. The horse in the case
was found in their possession and the
authorities are trying to find it's owner.
The lads are Frank Hodek of POI North
Ninth street and Robert Rule of 315 North
Tenth street. Their fathers are Nick
Hodek, a smelter worker, and william
Rule, a ~freighter for the Illinois Central.
"A man at Thirty-first and Gold streets
gave us the horse to ride last night" the
boys told Officer Carver when he stopped
them at Sixteenth and Dodge streets. But
we fell off and had to lead the horse
home"
'Frank told me there was a horse in a
barn and we went over to see it," Robert
said. in telling what he declared was the
real true story later in the morning. "He
united 1t and led it out of the barn for
us to ride on."
Jaw, vol had a part" spoke up Frank
shooting dsggers at young Rule, who
though slightly larger. is not the leader.
AS the Detention home is quarantined

EQUALIzERS BOOST HORSES
Transfer Men Fail to Get Away with
Small Valuations.
REMARKABLE DISCREPANCY SEEN
Transfer Company Says it
Has Nine Horses and Nine We
hicIeH, Inspector Counts
~ and 40.

All horses owned by transfer companies
will be taxed at a valuation of 800 a horse.
This has been determined by the Board Of
Equalization on the proposition advanced
by one member that nowadays you cannot
get a horse which can crawl for less than
800"
The transfer companies did not, when
they made returns place so high a value
on their horses, the returns being made
at from S25 to $40 or $50.
The American Transfer company's Off
cial accountant has a little difference with
the board. This company returned nine We
hicles and nine horses. Deeming it strange
that there should be an average of one
horse to one vehicle, the board sent an
inspector to take an observation. The in
spector says hat without strainlng himself,
he counted seventy-three horses and forty
vehicles. This little divergence will be
resolved in favor of Douglas county.
You clothing men come in every year
and tell us your stock is smaller" said
Chairman Trainor to representatives of the
leading houses. Now Omaha is growing,
your stocks seem larger to the naked eye
and / for one cannot understand it."
The board fixed assessments on several
large clothing stores as follows:
Nebraska Clothing company..,........S1 $500, 900
Berg Clothing mpa .....,.......... ALOE
Browning, King & Co................. 1000
The Hartman Furniture company was
raised from $4,000 to 100000.

fore the board in another unsuccessful at

Meeting at Auditorium Objected
To by Bar Patrons.

Thursday there floated in the breeze a
huge banner announcing the temperance
address to be given Sunday evening in the
Auditorium by former Governor ]. Frank
Hanly of Indiana, but Friday the banner
was not there. The banner was attached
to the roof of the Paxton hotel, but, &C
cording to Harry A. Stone, secretary OF
the Anti-Saloon league, patrons of the
Paxton bar objected so ~strenuously thai
he was compelled to take it down.
I'VE have no fault to find with Mr.
Kitchen, for he gave us permission to put
up the banner" said Mr.. Stone, but we
do think he has some very 'touchy' bar
patrons"
Former Governor Hanly will reach tbs
city Saturday. The churches will dismiss
their services Sunday evening for his ad
dress, to which no admission fee will bt
