DOES BLACKFooT WANT TT?

The Eastern Idaho Press club
meets at American Falls in Novem-
Der and at that time they will select
the place of holding the spring meet
ing If 1t asks for it, and 1t might fit
in nicely with the musical festival,
but Blackfoot will have to ask for it
If it gets it, It's press representatives
are not likely to extend the invita-
ton unless citizens indicate a desire
to have it and a willingness to help
take care Of the convention, so it
is up to you. 1913

OF making the farm increase In an
nual productiveness. It pays to pur-
chase manure and haul 1t to the farm
II one is located near a town or city
where the product can be secured
cheaply and where the distance for
hauling is not more than two or three
miles. On the average farm, how
ever, manure for fertilizing the fields
must be made at home largely from
the products of the land farmed. The
man who expects to make his land in
crease in productiveness from year
to year, and grow large and profit
able crops, must keep some domestic
animals, such as cows and horses, and
save every pound of straw, corn
stalks, and everything that will make
bedding, and use It in the stables for
mixing with and absorbing the drop
pings of the animals. These are by
products of the farm which represent
large money value when handled in
the right way. Heavy bedding of the
animals and frequent hauling of the
manure to the fields are as much a
part of good farming as the sowing Of
seed and the harvesting of crops.
Every farm, large or small, should
carry as large an amount of live
stock as possible, unless manure can
be purchased cheaply from other
sources. Good money can be made in
keeping, breeding, and growing good
live stock of almost any kind. A va
riety of live stock is best. In general
cases. The dairy farmer. Of course,
secures an abundance. Of fertilizers
from his dairy stables. If he puts
these fertilizers to good use,. larger
home crops can be grown, which
means less to be spent for feeds, and
hence larger net profits from the cows
The by-products from dairy herd OF
from live stock of any kind can be
made to. equal from one-fourth to
one-third of the total income from the
animals. The farmer or dairyman
who does not grow enough feeds for
his animals can make good money
by purchasing feeds. The fertilizing
value of wheat bran. for instance, af-
ter being eaten by cows is equal to
slightly more than one-half its pres
ent market price. Bying feeds and
bringing fertility to the farm is much
better practice than selling crops and
fertility from the farm. The small
farm can be made immensely fertile
il a good number of animals are kept
and fed on the place and extra feed
purchased to keep them.
The small farm that is made pro-
ductive and profitable can be made
better home than the larger farm
because of the smaller cost of i'm
proving it. Good improvements in
crease the earning power of the farm
much more than most people think.
With less land the farmer has more
time in which to make needed inn
provements, and to save all of the
crops at harvest. He has more time
for making the home surroundings
convenient and beautiful, and for
securing the highest pleasure from
country life. 4 aGf't'T

Possibilities of the Soil
Few farmers realize the immense
possibilities of the soil for produc-
ing crops. Many of them are content,
or seem to be, with 80 bushels of
corn and a ton of hay to the acre,
when the same land may be made to
yield more than a hundred bushels
OF corn and four to six tons of hay
to the acre. This is not theory, but
fact, The time is already here when
men are beginning to study and take
a deep interest in the soil. Heavy
fertilization, deep blowing, thorough
preparation Of the seed bed, high
grade seed and good cultivation will
make av rage land yield more than
twice as much as with the common,
poor methods Of farming.
The making and saving of manure
on the farm, and applying it directly
to the land before 1t has lost any
of its richness, is one of the great Sc
crets of success in the business. and
