PlCAYUNE COTTON REPORT

New Orleans, July IL In
summarizing cotton crop condi-
tons in Louisiana and Mississippi
based on reports from correspon-
dents in these states, the Plea
yune will say tomorrow:
Hot, dry weather prevails
throughout the cotton section of
Louisiana and Mississippi for the
past several days and proved
beneficial by operating to curtail
the boil weevil ravageS.
The absence of rain also per

cultivation with the result that
the fields are fairly clear Of
grass. The lack of moisture
may result in deterioration Of
the plant, although the farmers
Just now prefer this period Of
drouth, because of the advantage
they gain in the battle with the
weevil. 1t is true that lost
ground has been recovered, but
even with this the crop is some
what behind this this time last
year.
1t is estimated that the crop IN
Louisiana will be even shorter
than a period of a month ago.
Planters in many sections nave
abandoned their fields to the
weevil and are turning to corn
and other crops.

One Of the grand new features
which will add very greatly to
the industrial value of the
Fourth Annual Arkansas State
Fair and Industrial Exposition
at Hot Springs, Oct. 7 to -,
this year, will be the great,
composite Farmers Institute,
conducted for the six week days
of the State Fair under the
auspices of the College of Agrl-
culture of the University of
Arkansas.
! DR.. C. F. Adams, Dean of the
College of Agriculture and Di-
rector of the Experiment Station

program of unusual interest and
value to husbandmen of every
class.
The corps of the University
and a number of other wide

ures and illustrated discourses
in connection with the exhibits
and Judging for the awards al

Lots OF Wheat and Fall Grain
Promise Of Great Crops all Over the Richfeld Tract
A Good Year in Sight for Everybody.

There has been a large acreage of
fall wheat sown on the Richfjeld
tracts this fall and the prospect of
a good crop for next year is excel
lent
Most of the settlers that have
come onto their places this summer
and fall have sown wheat, some bare
ly enough to prove up with, while
others have put their entire place to
wheat, but in every instance where
the seed has been in the ground long
enough an excellent stand is secured
and in many cases the wheat now
covers the ground and before the
weather gets too bad it is expected
that most of it would hide rabbit
and after the snow once gets on the
ground, a good harvest is practically
assured.
A good harvest of wheat in this
section does not mean what good
harvest does in the east, as the aver
age is very much larger in this part
of the country than it is in the east.
A good wheat harvest on the Rich
field tract means all the way from
fifty to sixty five bushels to the
acre, while in the east if they harvest
twenty five bushels to the acre, they
have what they call a good crop, and
then, the wheat in this country is
worth SO n ;;ii,;;iii the hashei,
that good wheat crops means
great deal to the people of the Rich
field tract.
There is no question but what a

May Maybe be 2 New New Roads Roads
Northwestern and Short Line Rivalry
for this Section---Prospective
Riches for RichfieId

But with the Short Line builping first,
it would come almost necessarily direct
ly through Richfield. If the grades are
proven to be as easy as they are believ-
ed to be, this might easily be made the
main transcontinental route. 1t is PROB
able that the present main line, and the
prospective Rupert-Bliss long distance
cutoff would be retained as feeders.
AS DR.. Cook said about all the men
who had helped to discover the Pole,
"There is glory enough for us all, F." so
it will be with all the other towns when
the main line comes through Richfield
there will be glory and railroads for
us all.
Richfeld is just about the right dist
ance between Pocatello and Boise for a
division station. 1t would be fine site
for a railroad town. Being the only
town in the county, and almost the only
one in south Idaho with railroads run
ming out to the north, east, south and
west, it would be an ideal location for
county seat.
There is no town in southern Idaho
with brighter prospects than Richfield
none other, perhaps, with as good. If
you own property here, keep it and de
velop it; it will make you rich

ready market can be found in Rich
field for all wheat raised, but that
there will be a large fill and elevat-
or build in this city before harvest,
there is scarcely doubt, which will
insure a ready market for all the
grain raised
There will also be large acreage
of oats and alfalfa sown next year
which will necessitate the building of
a feed and alfalfa mill in Richfield,
and most of the capital for an enter
prise of this kind will be furnished
by home men, as several have stated
their willingness to take stock in an
enterprise of this kind as well as a
flourishing mill.

sugar that will be produced during
the run is 14S,000,000 pounds. The
annual consumption of sugar in Utah
and Idaho is 30,000,0OO pounds, of
which quantity 20,O00.OOO pounds is
produced at home and the remaining
100000 pounds is imported. The
quantity to be exported will there
fore be about lis, 100000 pounds or
$4,000 tons.
The sugar companies of the two
states expend about $500, 900 each
year in maintaining their plants dur

Many Millions for Sugar Beets
Farmers and Workmen of Idaho and Utah Have Reaped
Magnificent Harvest This Year.

Farmers in Utah and Idaho will
receive during the next few weeks,
a total of $3,S00,OOO for the sugar
beets which they have raised this
summer. The harvesting Of the crop
is now rapidly opening up and will
be in full swing within a short time.
1t is estimated by the expert agri-
culturalists of the sugar companies
that the total yield in sugar beets
for the seaso nwill be approximately
10000 tons, for which a price of
S5.10 a ton will be paid to the farm
ers.
There are nine factories and four
cutting stations in the two states,
and they will pay about $1,000, 900
in wages during the running season.
These factories are at Lehi, Gar
land, Ogden, Logan and Lewiston,
Utah, and at Blackfoot, Idaho Falls,
Sugar City and Nampa, Idaho. The
four cutting stations are at Provo,
Springville, and Spanish Fork, Utah,
and at Parker Idaho.
The factories will consume about
i12 0tlf,-tons of coal during hs rnn-.s
ming season.

ing quality than in former years,

themselves?

Free Water for Public Purposes
Cheap and Good Service

By the close of next week, if the ma
teral arrives, as expected, and the
weather holds good, every house on the
townsite will have water from the city
water works brought within the dist
ance stipulated by the ordinance and
franchise authorizing the water com
pany to do business.
Probably there isn't another town in
Idaho-not even one town, large or
small-that can say as much But in
Richfeld, the company is opening up
mains in all directions, to every resi-
dent who wants water, and the service
is the very best to be found anywhere.
The water is now being laid down to
the school house, which is about the
last to get service.
And the price, too, is surprisingly
low. In one other town in the county,
the house rate is S15O per month as
minimum. In another, it is $1.75. But
in Richfield it is only $1.00 per month
for house service AS the water is
pamped higher for Richfeld than for
any of the other towns, and the stand
pipe gives better pressure because of
it's greater height, Richfeld can be con
sidered the best watered town in the
state
The village council, at its last meet
ing, Tuesday night, passed the ordi-
nance, authorizing the company to do
business in the village. AS it is mat
ter of public interest, in view of the
low prices charged for the use of water
the ordinance is here given in full:

department arrived this week, and the
old firemen have it set up ready for i'm
mediate use. The hose, 400 feet of the
very best made, has been reeled on,
ready to attach 10 the city MIGRANTS.
At present, the cart is in the rear OF
the Commercial Club room.
The department hopes to buy some
rubber coats, boots and hats for winter
use at fires.
Permanent quarters will probably be
secured soon where the department can
be at home.

The city park is one of the places
in Richfield that should be looked

city one of the most beautiful blocks
on the townsite and if properly taken
care of it will make one of the most
beautiful places in Idaho.
This fall there can not be a great
deal done toward beautifying the
place, but if the citizens would get

the sage brush, it would be a starter
and would also put the park in shape
