FARMERS UNION
HELD MEETING
Over Two Hundred Farmers Met
Here Saturday at County Con-
ventiOn---Piaced Order for 8
Cars of Sacks.

More than two hundred anG
nifty delegates and members OF
the Idaho County Farmers Edu-
catlonal & Cooperative Union
were in session here Saturday
Tor the purpose of receiving bids
Tor the grain bags to be used in
handling the crop for the coming
season and to discuss measures
relative to cooperation in market
ing the farm products.
Resolutions were passed en-
dorsing the platform of the ma
tlonal union and endorsing the
cooperation of the unions in
marketing the grain, livestock
and other farm products without
depending upon the local buyer
or commission man. The meet
ing favored the purchase of
sacks, twine and other supplies
by the county unions or by local
unions and also that a day be set
aside each year when the mem
bers OF the union should meet in
celebration.
Resolutions were addressed to
the railroad company asking that
larger stock pens be provided for
Grangeville and Fem.
The contract for supplying
three carloads of grain bags was
awarded to the Bemis Bag COM
pany, of Seattle. Ten bids were |
received for the contract. The
bids offered for twine were re-
jected as the view was entertain
ed that the prices quoted were
too high and bids for this com
modify will be readvertised.

Another Fine Farm Sold.

The Camas Prairie Land Co
closed another nice deal this
week in the sale of the Craig L.
Spencer farm of 400 acres north
of town, (the old Holt ranch) to
Barney Luchtefeld, of Reuter-
vile, for $751; or $40 an acre,
including one-third of the crop
growing on the place.
The farm is an exceptionally
good one and nicely located. 1t
contains 300 acres of farm land,
the balance being pasture, and
has an abundance of running
water. The soil is deep, and the
entire farm is surrounded by a
rail fence, making it hog tight.
This purchase gives Mr.. Luch-
tefeld thousand acres of farm
land and makes him perhaps the
largest land owner on the west
side of the prairie.
When it is considered that the
above farm sold about seven
years ago for $12 an acre it will
be seen how farm land has ad-
vanced in value in the past few
years, and conservative citizens
estimate that the price will go to
SIS an acre on most of our land
the next five years.
Mr.. Luchtefeld is well fixed
for farming a large amount of
land, having his own machinery,
horses and labor, and his pur-
chase this week shows that he
has by no means lost faith in the
value of Camas Prairie farm land
as being good investment.
