UNCLE SAM VERY PARTICULAR
He Is Alter Those Who Falisfy About
Pure Foods

Rexburg Standard
Uncle Sans officials charged with
the administering Of the pure food
law are doing more to forward The
cause Of truth than all the Sunday
schools Of the land. And, inciden.
tally, they are daily giving member
ship papers in the Ananias club to
more folks than Roosevelt could have
recommended for initiation in that
institution had he worked overtime at
the job.
Nowadays It behooves manufacture
ers OF food products to tell the wholg
unvarnished truth about their staples
on the label. Little, measley untruths
are Just as bad in the eyes of the law
as the whoppers. And the depart
ment Of agriculture, which supervises
and sees that the pure food law is
obeyed, yanks the small falsifier up
Just as quick as the big liar,
For instance, the other day GER
tain shipper was fined for misbrand-
ing water. 1t doesn't seem possible to
preyaricate about plain drinking wa
ter. Nevertheless this shipper had
stated, in the labels on his bottles
that they contained natural lithia
whereas, the department discovered
It was plain distilled water artificially
!.

Washington, Nov. 20.--After a
conference with Secretary Ballinger
of the interior department today,
during which he discussed the stu
alton of the settlers Of the Minidoka
and the Payette- Boise irrigation pro-
jects, Senator w. e. Borah announ-
ced that the secretary would issue
an order directing that no advantage
be taken of the failure of settlers to
pay the annual assessment for 1909
until April /, 1910. While the Sec
rotary hopes that all settlers who
are able will meet payments when
they fall due, December 1, in order
that the fund for new work may be
swelled at the earliest possible date,
he will exercise leniency in those
cases where the settlers are unable.
to pay up and will in effect grant
them an extension of five months.

HINTS FROM MISSOURI
How to Use The King Drag and Have
an Ideal Road

In Missouri the roads are really
bad and improvement by the King
road drag has been taken up sys-
tematically. The following sugges-
tions are from bulletin by the Mis-
souri, board Of agriculture: VI.
Don't drive too fast.
Don't walk. Get on the drag and
ride.
Don't wait for your neighbors to
take hold. They may be waiting on
you. 4
Don't wait for the big grader to
come and shape up your road. All
you can do first will help to make
the work of the grader permanent.
Don't try to drag with one piece;
use two. One will scoop out the hol-
lows in the road and deepen them.
When two are used the one keeps
the other up, and soon the hollows
will have filed and become level like
the balance of the road.
Don't wait for good roads until
the city folks begin to talk about
macadam at public expense. This will
cost from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile,
and for country purposes where there
is no heavy hauling, it is no better
than, not as easily maintained as, a
road properly made with the drag.
Five dollars mile with the proper
use of the road drag will keep the
ordinary country road that is prop
erly drained, graded and dredged or
cultivated in first class condition nine
months in the year and make it
fairly decent road the other three
months. But this cannot be done in
one year or two. The longer the
drag is used intelligently the better
the road will become until finally it
is oval and smooth and hard and elias
tic. This Is the ideal road and moth
ing but road properly made with
the drag or an asphalt road meets all
these requirements.

CROP CONDITIONS ExCELLENT
Special Field Agent A. f. Hit Visits
Valley

Idaho Falls Register
A. F. Hit, special field agent for
Idaho, Washington and Oregon OF
the United States department OF Agri-
culture, with headquarters at Weiser,
spent yesterday in the valley inspect-
Ing the potato, sugar beet. alfalfa
fields and orchards.
He reports the crop conditions
throughout the Northwest excellent,
the crop condition in Idaho particu-
larly high and the conditions in this
valley the best he had experienced.
He was particularly gratified at
the great potato yield, the excellence
of the product and the great acreage
planted. The average per acre
throughout this section is the best in
all the territory which comes under
his Jurisdiction.
Two hundred bushels to the acre
is the estimated average for the
state, but the average will exceed that
here over fifty bushel with some real
ly phenomenal crops reported.
Mr.. Hit was very much gratified
at the interest being shown In apple
culture throughout this section. The
apple crop throughout the great apple
belt with the exception of the higher
attitudes Is only sixty per cent OF q
full crop. This particular section
ranks hgih in that respect. He adj
vises the planting of more orchards
and more attention to cultivation.
The potato output Of this section or
the valley OF $500 cars will contrib
ute great deal toward boosting the
average of the state and the entire
Northwest.
Mr.. Hit spent some time at the
sugar factory near this city where he
interviewed the officials Of the plant
who report a most satisfactory con-
dition..
Mr. Hit is very much Interested in
the heavy immigration to the state
which he says is made up mostly of
a good class Of farmers, men who
have made decided success in their
old homes in the east and middle
western states but who recognize the
advantage of irrigation, coupled with
the low price of land and the great
productivity.
The introduction Of new blood in
to the great farming areas is to have
a decided tendency to better condi-
tons and will put more money into
circulation
The entire northwest, the three
states OF Idaho, Washington and
Oregon, are to experience more de-
velopment and growth and increase in
population with consequent increase
in wealth within the next five years
than they have within their past
history.

BEEF AND MILK
Scarcity of Both Articles in the COun-
try and West is Interested

l q y ~
While the National Western Stock
Show at Denver is intended to edu.
cate the. people on the production OF
meat live stock, 1t is rapidly becom-
ing evident that some attention vii
nave TO be given to dairy cows. The
new farmers settling up the country
first turn their attention to dairying
as milk and butter production brings
quicker cash returns. General Mana
ger Skinner Of the stock show is an
advocate Of dual purpose cattle for
the farm and an effort is being made
to have a strong exhibit Of milking
Shorthorns and Red Polled cattle at
the coming show.
The scarcity of milk and butter
and the high prices commanded at
the present time for dairy products is
attracting much attention from the
new settlers of the vest said Colo
mel Skinner. Most of our new farm
ers are not financially strong and
their first operations must be in the
direction ofthe quickest cash erturns
Dairy1ng Is popular and the demand
for dairy cows exceeds the supply. II
we can induce our new farmers to
buy the dual purpose cattle, either
the milking strain Of the Shorthorn
breed or the Red Polled cattle, thew
can not only engage in the dairy bus
mess, but at the same time be start
ing a herd that will eventually bring
good returns in beef production. The
calves from dairy bred cows are Al
only for veal. but the calves from the
Shorthorn and Red Poled cattle can
De grown into beef and gradually
good beef herd can be built M. The
Shorthorns and the Red Pol
ca are very good dairy cattle and
compare favorably with the best ave-
rage dairy animals. IF we can in.
trodlce these types through our Show
we VIII have ACCOMPLISHED mich for
the formers of Colorado and for the

SUGAR MONEY WILL EASE STRIN-
GENCY

DeSefel news
The pouring of two million dollars
cash into the arteries Of trade within
a period Of five days ought surely to
DO something to relieve the existing
tlghtness in the money market. It is
no secret that every banking institu-
ton in Salt Lake and the surround
ing country during the past few
weeks has been gradually closing
down on loans, and the loaning insti-
tutions outside of the banks have let
go OF their money only at stiff ad-
vances In the rates of interest.
Bankers and the business public
generally, therefore, greet with sat-
isfaction the approach Of the time
when flood of sugar money is dis
tributed among the several thousand
farmers of Utah and Idaho. The
farmers rapidly turn the money they
receive from the sugar companies in
to the channels of trade, paying their
DEBTS, depositing in their country
banks and buying their winter sup
plies, so that the situation is eased
all along the line.
Inc total OF close to $4,000 10000
which the three sugar companies be-
gan paying out on the 10th to their
factory employees, and which was con-
tinued on Monday last to the beet
growers, will be disbursed from the
main offices in Salt Lake, where the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company has its
headquarters; in Ogden, where the
Amalgamated Sugar company and the
Lewiston Sugar company maintain
their offices. There are eight sugar
plants now running at full blast. To-
Gated at Lehi, Garland, Sugar City
Idaho Falls and Blackfoot, the prop
erty of the Utah-Idaho company; at
Ogden and Logan, owned by the Anal
gamated company, and at Lewiston,
owned by the Lewiston company.
There Is besides, the Amalgamated
company's plant at LIE Grande, Ore,
but that is not directly tributary to
the Utah field.
The payrolls of the eight factories
ran close to a quarter of million
dollars and all the money went out
on the tenth. The cash to the farm
ers is disbursed in checks on the sew
erela country banks at al the above
points, the funds being supplied
through the banks lin Salt Lake and
Ogden with which the sugar com
panies do business. The payments
made last Monday aggregated as fol-

the weed line and few head Of ewes
herded around the fence corners and
along the edges of the fields where
the weeds are thick will accomplish
wonders. They more than pay for
their board, keep the farm supplied
with fresh mutton and incidentally
return q nice revenue in wool. The
sheep exhibit at the Denver show will
be one Of the greatest ever held in
the country. Practically every breed
known in this country will be OH ex-
hibit and 1t is hoped that a move
ment will be started to encourage
each farmer to keep a few head of
ewes on his place. The harm moth
ing and are profitable adjunct to
every farm.

SHEEP ON THE FARM

As the new settler takes possession
of the western ranges and fences in
his farm and pastures there is &
growing demand for few head OF
sheep to run on the farm. At the
coming Nationa Stock Show in Den
yer during the week of January S-15
there will be magnificent exhibit OF
all the various breeds of sheep and
the western farmers will have an ex-
cellent opportunity to decide what
breed will be best for use on his
farm. Sheep are the best help the
farmer has in keeping his place clean
from weeds. They eat everything in

younger stages. Where field Ia
heavily infested, II is advisable to
cut the first crop very early, in fact
when it is not over half grown. I'm
der no circumstances should an in
jured field be allowed to stand with
out cutting, since this will simply
mean the coming of maturity of i'm
mense numbers of the weevi I'm
mediately after the removal of the
hay, and this should not be allowed
to lay on the ground any longer than
necessary for curing, the field should
be heavily disced and cross disced,
and then gone over Immediately with
a leveler. The young worms are very
frail, have no feet, and make their
way but sowly back to the plants.
The discing will knock off practical
~ all of those that have reached the
plants, crush large numbers OF them
bury many In the soil, and snffocate
Others. The object in using the lev
.eller is to create sufficient dust
mulch to cause the death of the
worms. All insects breathe through
openings on the side of their bodies,
and anything which will cover these
openings will suffocate them in a
short time. The rougt treatment ac-
corded the larvae by the discing and
leveling will be sufficient to kill a
very large percentage, The field
should then be irrigated, and every
thing possible done to stimulate rapid
growth for the second cutting.
There are a few other minor means
which should be used in connection
with this work. Cean cultivation
around the edges Of the field, on the
ditch banks, and burning off all trash
weeds, and rubbish after the weevils
have gone into Information, will aid
considerably in controlling them.
The sweet clover and yellow clover
which Is often allowed to grow lux
uriantly along the fence should be
cut out, and such places thoroughly
cleaned of weeds and other plants.
The older seriously infected fields
to good advantage, may be plowed
in late May or early June, since the
turning under Of the crop at this
time will kill practically all the lar
vac and eggs present in the field, be-
sides being good farm practice.
Spraying, and cultivation expert
ments with discs, renovators and
Jewellers, are now being carried on
for the purpose Of ascertaining the
best means of control throughout
the year. No hay should be shipped
from any of the infected territory.
The danger to the alfalfa industry
in this state cannot be over estimat-
ed.

The Ice Problem.

The ice bill is no small part Of the
housekeeping expenses this weather. All
housekeepers who can afford it at all feel
that they cannot do without ice. but while
worrying over the bill, they often allow
waste. by not giving proper care or
thought to the matter.
It seems absurd to tell people to keep the
door of the ice chest shut. but It is a fact
that time after time, even in careful fam
lilies. the door OF one or more Of the COM
partments is left on a crack.
This. Of course, lowers the temperature
Of the chamber and wastes ice rapidly.
II Is no economy for the same reason. Ia
use too little ice for the size Of the re-
frigerator
The temperature rises, through lack OF
sufficient ice to keep it down, and the
next piece that is put in goes much faster
than It should.
IT is better to get a large block Of ice
several times week, as large a one as
your refrigerator will hold, than a small
one every. day.
As TO ice water, il is not necessary no
matter what people say, and nearly all
doctors agree that we would be much bet.
