Mr.. Worrel will be ready to dispose of
all COWS that do not come up to her
present record, for if she continues to
do as we'll as she started out she should
have yearly record nearly double the
present one by the time she is seven
years old.
If the dairy industry is to continue to
develop, we must have better COWS
and more of them and fewer poor ones.
Mr.. Worrell is on the right road and
so is every other dairyman who keeps
reliable yearly records of each and
every COW in his herd. 1t is the only
way to build up a profitable dairy herd.

NOTES OF THE GAME

Kelly was the Kelly of yore yester-
day.
Davidson's star catch was one of the
most brilliant that has scintillated on

Springfield is here for a series of
four games, two of which were SEIZED

Stark made two putouts in the third

Kelly played another excellent game
at third base, although he didn't get
the chances that he did the day before.

A little slip in head work occurred
in yesterdays game at a crucial point
aud the result was that the visitors
were given a number of runs which
they had no right to. 1t was in the
sixth inning, the round in which the
visitors made their four scores There
we're two down and men on first and
third. The man on first started to
steal and a quick throw turned him
back. The Islanders then devoted their
time to running him down and at the
same time keeping the man on third
from scoring. They forgot that there
we're two men out and that all they
had to do was touch the baserunner
with the ball before the other one
crossed the plate. Had they done that,
as they might easily have done by
giving their attention to the trapped
man, the inning would have been over
without a score. AS it was the ball
was dropped and both runners were
safe, one at home and one at second.
Because of the rain this morning,
and the probability that there could
be no game this afternoon, it was de-
cided that in case the plans for the
double header today were spoiled in
afternoon instead. This would give a

IDAHO CONSERVATORY.
Nampa Musical Institute Announces
Its First Commencement

The Recorder acknowledges the
receipt of a graduating program for
the Conservatory of Music OF South
ern Idaho, at Nampa. The insti-
tuition is new this being its first
Year, but it is said to be in most
flourishing condition. There is no
reason why Idaho should not have
one of the very best music schools
in the entire West With the music
of the wind in the pines, the mur-
mur of the waters in the crystalline
streams, the poetry of the beautiful
sunsets, and the inspiration OF
the boundless, magnificent future,
there is every foundation for the
generation and development of the
artistic temperament, of which mu-
sic is the chief spokesman. No
where are the mountains more awe
inspiring or beautiful, the gorges or
valleys deeper or more picturesque.
the fields more green or the fruits
more fair than in Idaho. Why, in
deed, should not music thrive here
as if Idaho were the ancestral home
of all sweet sounds? The Nampa
conservatory is well endowed
financially, has a good corps of in
structors, and looks like q worthy

Other Similar Section of Idaho

One does not need to take much
more of a look around than can be
had from almost any point here in
town to know that this country is
really filling up and developing very
rapidly. There have been no train
loads of immigrants; no band
excursions, no fuss or hurrah of any
kind. The new settlers have come in
quietly like the coming of the dew,
or the sunshine or the search of
the velvet-footed feline for it's prey.

CULTIVATE NOW.
Irrigation Needs Good TiIIage To
Bring Best Results.

Without cultivation in an irrigat-
ed country the best results cannot
be obtained. Two civilizations is
equal to one irrigation, provided
moisture is in the soil. Plants, to
do their best, should not have the
soil completely saturated with mois-
ture. and cultivation is the best
known method to equalize the
moisture and keeq a steady plant
growth .zAfter each and every irri-
cation on root crops especially, cul-
tivation should follow. There is the
proper time, and that is at the time
when the soil will break up mellow
as it is being cultivated 1t should
not be cultivated when it is dry ana
cloddy, nor when it will stick and
turn over muddy.
In the cultivation of potatoes and
all other crops it is not always best
to harrow them after they have
gotten quite well advanced, and it
is especially SO with potatoes. Aft
er the potato has reached the
height Of five to six inches the
cultivator should be used
The cultivation of potatoes for the
first time should be one that is
quite deep so that the soil where
the tubers are forming will be mel
low, and cultivation also helps to
make the ground better for the
storage of moisture at the time of

I But---they have come; until il is
doubtful if any of the new tracts in
the history of southern Idaho can
show better development foor the
first year of water
1t would be interesting indeed to
go over the whole tract and show
the number of real settlers and the
development they have made on thei
forms. The Recorder is promised
such an article within a few days, as
soon as it can be prepared. But in
the meantime a few individual ex-
amples will show that there is real
basis for optimism.z
A. M. Richardson has put out a
large market garden, of which
cabbage field with 5000 plants and
field of tomatoes with 1900 plants
is only a part. The Recorder has
sampled some of the earlier garden
truck, which is above reproach. Mr.
Richardson believes that nowhere in
the country can better vegetables be
grown than right here
K G. Nhelps is the farming king
of the tract for this season; he has
S5 acres of grain ripening and get
ting ready for the harvest Part
of this is on ground that was culti-
waited last year, and no finer wheat
ever grew in the West than one such
field north of town.
1t is almost as good for eyes as
as visit to a famous ocnlist, to
go out to the dc=Hor stration farm
adjoining town and see how things
grow. If there are any potatots in
the state that are good candidates
for the $500 prize offered by D. E.
Burley of the Short Line for the
best yield on any tract tributary to
the Short Line, these potatoes are
the ones. And the small grain, too,
is all that could be desired. That
the farm is altogether new, may be
known from the fact that not sage
brush grubbed, not furrow plow-
ed, until the last week in March of
this year Single stalks of alfalfa,
treated with ''Farmogerm, the
nitrogen-fixing bacteria, have been
taken up there this year, measuring
16 inches in height Yet the fields
put out in the ordinary way show a
growth that is almost ag good up
to the present time. If any one ever
believed that this soil needed sew
eral years cultivation and a system

richment "a visit to this farm would
be an obejct lesson to not believe
all or any of the bad things you

The diversion dam for the North
Gooding tract was completed early
in June. All Company canals are
now provided with permanent diver
sion dams and concrete headgates.
The settlers have not all attended
to the mater of constructing their
individual headgates, as required by
contract. So far the Company has
allowed the settlers to take their
time in this matter, realizing that
many were busy preparing their
land and seeding.
The abundance of water this
spring has made it unnecessary to
employthe most economical methods
of distribution. 1t is now necessary
to draw water from the reservoir,
and from now on the use of water
will be restricted to the actual
amount required for irrigation. An
economical and satisfactory distri-
button can not be made until al Set
tiers have provided headgates IN
their individual laterale. All set
to this matter are being notified
that headgates must be in place by
July 1st. Headgates placedr by in
divlduals must be built in accord
ance with a standard design approx
ed by the state engineer and placed
in a manner satisfactory to the en-
gineers of the Company. All indi-
vidual gates placed by the Company
will be charged to the settlers.
Necessary plans and other in
formation may be had from the fol-
lowing representatives of the Com
pany:
