$50 AN ACRE FROM
SAGE BRUSH LAND

Fifty dollars an acre from raw sage
brush land is one of the possibilities on
the Minidoka tract, and the record
made by r. l.. Cheney ought to con-
vert many settler to the gospel of
alfalfa. Mr. Cheney, who has an 80
acre homestead mile and half south
of Acequia, had in sixteen acres of
alfalfa last season. 1t was not a first
class stand, but the yield was five tons
to the acre, total of eighty tons. lie
has already sold sixty tons at $40 per
ton in the stack, receiving 5000, and
has twenty tons left, making total re-
turns of $500 from his sixteen acres,
$50 an acre.
But Mr.. Cheney did not realize the
highest possible returns from his crop
as it is conceded that hay will bring
Sl5 per ton in the stack here next
spring. Baled hay is even now selling
at SIS. At SIS per ton, Mr.. Cheney's

crop would be worth $1,000, or $75 pei
acre, and 1T the same rate an s0-acre
claim would produce $4,000 Mr..
Cheney's case is not exceptional, as
many farmers on the tract did equally
as well and some of his neighbors pro-
baby did better. This alfalfa was
raised on loose gravelly soil, similar
to that around Rupert. Mr. Cheney
seeded ten acres more to alfalfa last
fall and will put in thirty acres this
spring, which will give him So acres.
This year was an exceptionally good
one for alfalfa raisers and no such
prices can be expected every year, but
taking one year with another the price
will be high enough to make alfalfa

ect. Rupert Pioneer Record.

A BIG COURT DOCKET
FOR COMING TERM

The rapid increase of population of
Lincoln county is indicated by the in
crease of business coming before the
district court this term. Harry W.
Anderson estimates the business now
in sight at three times the usual amount.
In fact the docket is growing so rapidly
that it becomes a matter Of necessity
to have it printed in pamphlet form for
the use of the attorneys interested.
This custom is common in other coun-
ties. While the older attorneys of Lin
coin county are being crowded with
business. the newer members of the
bar are also filing many cases for the
docket. The changing conditions of
community in its formative stage is re-
sponsihle for slight increase Of legal
business but more prolific source is
the fact that the criminal element seeks
a new country in which to operate.
The main cause of the increase how
ever has not been mentioned. 1t re-
suits from the employment of thou
lands of laborers of many nationalties
many of whom are addicted to the use
# alcoholic liquors and drugs of various
inds The new local option or pro-
ibition law cannot be charged with
much of the increase because the liquor
asses coming up are largely from com ,
lunities that were dry before the local !
ption election was held. ;
