Besides fruit, the staple crops are
alfalfa, timothy and clover. The aver
age annual yield per acre of timothy
and clover is four tons; of alfalfa, six
tons. Glover is cut twice. alfalfa
three times, and in addition yield rich
pasture during the fall and winter.
The quality of the hay is probably
better than that of almost any other
in the country, for the reason that
there are no showers to cause damage
while it is being put up and it comes
out of the stack as sweet and fresh as
the day it was cut. The market is
principally to the sheep and catllemen
for wtntering the large herds that
roam the hills and mountains in tbe
summer time. The price averages
from 50 to SO per ton in the stack.
Oats yield from 40 to 100 bushels Der
acre and sell at $125 per 100 pounds
Wheat also yields enormously. Corn
cane and all varieties Of vegetables
flourish.

Returns From an Idaho Farm.

NLtduGE- herald
At the request of the Leader Herald
George Duval has kindly given an
itemized statement of the returns Of
his farm near Nampa for the season
of 1905. 1t shows what Idaho soil
will do when it is cultivated with en-
ergy and intelligence. The Leader
Herald does not desire to deceive its
readers and does not claim that every
farm in southern Idaho will make
such a showing as this, or in fact that
there is any considerable number that
will do SO. 1t does claim, however,
that the fact that they do not is in
nowise the fault Of the country. Land
in this section is largely of the same
quality 1t all has the same sunshine
and general climatic conditions, and
should produce about the same. If
il does not the fault lies in the man
ner in which it is handled Mr. Duval
has put brains and energy into the
supervision of his large farming oper-
atoms and by following his methods
there is no reason why others should
not reap the same handsome rewards.
This showing is particularly gratifying
to the Leader-Herald because ii re-
lates almost wholly to field crops,
while statements heretofore given

The maiden speech of Representa-
tive Dawson of Iowa was devoted to
praise Of the Helpful Hen" In a
talk on the agricultural bill he said:
Poets may sing of the glory of
their eagle and artists may paint the
beauties of birds of plumuge, but the
modest American hen is entitled to a
tribute for her industry, her useful
ness, and her productivity. The Amer
Ican hen can produce wealth equal to
the capital stocks of all the banks of
the New York clearing house in three
months and have a week to spare. In
less than so days she can equal the
total annual production of all the gold
mines of the United States
THE United States proudly boasts
OF its enormous production of pig
IRON, by far the greatest of all coun-
tries in the world, and yet the Amer
lean hen produces as much in six
months as all the iron mines of this
country produce in a year. In one
year and 10 months she could pay off
the interest bearing debt of the
United States"

with plenty Of water, that can be Sc

did results in the cultivation of the
beet crop. Soils OF these sections need
a cultivated crop, so that they may be
plOwed deeper and more intensively
cultivated, which will increase their
fertility and reduce the quantity of
water needed for irrigation. The soils
are also very grateful for intensive
cultivation and improve materially
with the rotation of crops, that is, by
having at least one cultivated crop in
connection with the alfalfa and grain
crop; using the alfalfa as a fertilizer.
The farmers of this section have dis
covered that the diversity of crop rails
ing is not only beneficial to the soil
but profitable. Not being dependent
upon single crop, the farmer who
practices diversified farming is in
position to take the best advantage Of
the markets, and need never record
failure.
Successful farmers are able to raise
upwards of Is tons of beets to the
acre, under normal conditions in
Idaho, at a cost of production per
acre, of from $35 to $40; leaving a
net profit of upwards of $40 per acre
for the use of their land. Many, as
the results show, have far exceeded
the figures above mentioned; of
course it is true that some have not
been so successful as others, but the
results obtained, show the possibility
of the soil. The farms throughout
this section, generally speaking, are
large; they need to be divided up into
smaller holdings, with more intensive
farming. 1t is very gratifying to note
that many farmers have discovered
this, and have already disposed of part
of their land to other parties who are
moving into this section. There is
plenty Of room for more.

GREAT Is IDAHO.
So Says Report of United States De.
paTtmcnt of Commerce.

The Statistical Abstract of the
United States for 1904, issued by the
department Of commerce and labor,
contains much valuable information,
not the least interesting Of which is
that referring to the productions Of
the various states Idaho is often
thought of as largely given to mining
and it is true that some Of the great
est mining operations in the history
Of the country have been carried on
within her borders and precious and
baser metals to the value Of millions
Of dollars are yearly taken from her
rugged hills, but some of the data Civ
On in the report mentioned go to show
that her agricultural resources are
also great.
The value Of the wool clip of 1904
is given as $2,S7IS7O. which is nearly
double the output of gold in 1903, the
latest year for which an estimate is
available. The hay crop for 1904 is
valued at practically seven million dol
lars, on the farm, and when marketed
the value would, no doubt, exceed that
the output of silver for 1903, given as
a little under eight and one-haIf mil
lions.
The yield of the hay per acre is
shown to have been 3.O7 tons per acre,
which, next to the yield in Utah, is
the highest for any state; the average
yield per acre for the United States
was but 1872 tons. The average yield
Of potatoes per acre for Idaho in 1904
was 1879 bushels per acre, the third
highest state average the total yield of
potatoes in Idaho was 1,59O,O21 bush

The French Troubles.

The Paris strike appears to be in pro-
cess OF disintegration. Although tho
building trades yesterday voted to con-
tinue the strike. many of the delegates
present at the meeting protested
against the decision and demanded a
return to work. The government is
having comparatively little trouble
moving the mails and conducting the
telegraph business and 1t is altogether
probable that in a short time the whole
movement will collapse as did that Of
April. The success of the government,
however. IL 1t should be scored. will not
necessarily guarantee immunity IN the
future from similar disturbances. Tho
cause of the difficulty Is deep seated.
AS a matter of fact France is In a
serious condition as regards the rela-
tions Of the people to the government
and radical changes are necessary to
restore the body polite to q healthy
condition.
writer in a recent issue of the Ma
tional Review of London declares that
France is in what Taine called an ap-
oplectic condition, namely. that too
large a percentage Of the population is
in the employ Of the government. The
craze for office holding has gone SO far
that 1t is estimated fully one-fifth of
the population Is supported directly by
the public pay roll. Not only are the
people clamorous for places for the

sake of compensation, but they desire
honors, titles, privileges and perquisites
incidental to public employment and
preferment The consequence is amin
sistent pressure upon the ministry. This
in turn affects the process OF selecting
members of the two houses Of parlia-
ment, who use the public patronage In
the most approved spokesman fashion.
Such a system is necessarily subject
to great abuses and the troubles now
in the department of posts and tele-
graph are attributed directly to the OBJ
legations owed by the ministry to the
place holding classes. For some years
efforts have been made to amend the
law Of associations under which the
government employees are permitted to
organize themselves into unions and fed
erations, but without success. No prime
minister has had the courage to force
the proposition upon the houses OF par
lament or the votes to secure its en-
actment.
No one can foretell the ultimate is
sue of the French situation. The coun-
try is beyond easy political forecasting.
Movements that at first seem formid-
able lose force quickly and others
which begin quietly gain immens.
headway. The French people are SO
"temperamentaI" that they are not to
be judged by the ordinary standard of
national psychology. In this latest sit
uation there is the possibility that the
royalists may embrace the opportunity
to demonstrate in earnest. possibly to
organize a serious reactionary move
ment At a recent meeting of adher-
ents to the royalist cause cries were
raised of a distinctly seditious charac-
ter, but no action was taken by the po-
lice until an attempt was made to or
ganize a procession, when the demon
strants were dispersed.
