NEW ROOT CROPS FOR SOUTH
Department Of Agriculture Discovers
Tropical Plant That Can Be
Grown on Wet Soils.

The department of agriculture at
Washington is continually discovering
and testing new crops. When these
give promise of becoming valuable ad-
ditions to the crop resources of this
country, they are recommended for
trial. The department has just issued
a bulletin dealing with the "Yantias.
taros, and dasheens as promising root
crops for the SOUTH" These are trop-
ical plants which can easily be grown
in many parts of the south. They
ought to prove valuable in many Sec
tions because they can be grown on
lands too wet for other root crops or
any cereal crop except rice.
These plants comprise salad plants,
tubers which are excellent for table
use and also for stock feed, roots
which are valuable sources OF starch
and from which alcohol can be made.
They have formed the staple food of
the native Hawaiians, and are impor-
tant food crops in Japan, China, the
Malay Archipelago, Porto Rico. and
many other hot countries.
The work of the department with
these plants has not yet progressed
far enough to permit any distribution
of plants.

COW is but one of number or remark
able COWS owned by the University of
Missouri and maintained solely for the
instruction of its students in a~ricul-
ture and for investigational purposes.
Only 20 Jersey cows in the history of
the world have produced more than 700
pounds of butter in one year. Five of
these cows, or IS per cent. of the total
number, are owned and were bred by
this Missouri institution. The College owns
more than 900 pure-bred and registered
animals, belonging to ~ distinct breeds.

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

The breed is of less Importance
than the surroundings.
1t does not pay to allow the pigs to
run through wet pasture.
Too rich food and an absence of
lime will cause soft-shelled eggs.
A poor mixer is one of the surest
ways of diminishing the milk flow.
To be successful, man must be
particular with his breeding stock.
From now until warm weather
comes again cold-storage eggs will be
fresh.
Each fowl needs at least three
square fest of room in the poultry
house.
Health is natural, disease is un-
natural; health is contagious as well
as disease.
Fruit that has been shaken from
the trees should never be stored for
winter keeping.
Get your chicks out on the
ground as soon as they get their legs
and know their brooder.
To make hogs profitable we must
provide plenty of range. that we may
keep their yards clean and sanitary.
An Indiana authority says that not
one farmer in thousand in that state
plants an orchard and takes care of 1t.
To induce the greatest possible milk
flow in heifers their calves should be
removed from them the first week aft
er calving.
All hens and males not actually
needed, or which have outlived their
usefulness, should be sold or used on
the home table.
When milk is fed to the chickens
do not neglect to give them plenty OF
| fresh water. Neither will take the
place of the other
It will pay any hog-grower to dir
all of his growing pigs at least once
a month, to keep their skins in good
condition and free from lice.
! Foods known to possess laxative quail
tiles should be found in every dairy
ration. Those in which it is pro
nounced should be fed moderately.
There is too little attention paid tt
gardening for food and fruit, and if a
portion of the days spent in graphing
with too much crops in spring were
devoted to the production of garden
vegetables for use during the whole
year. there would be far fewer, liver
complaints.

The Missouri College of Agriculture,
at Columbia, Mo-. has raised and devel-
oped the champion dairy COW of the
world Missouri Chief Josephine, Hol-
stein-Friesian COW finished her six months
test on July 18th, producing I7,ooS.S
pounds, an average of 1874 pounds of milk
daily for IS2 days. This is equivalent
to 46.7 quarts, or II.6 gallons every
day. Her highest record for one day was
HOP pounds. This. record is the more
remarkable because no special prepare
4ion had been made for this test and
Josephine has done her full duty in the
regular dairy herd of the University,
having had FIVE calves in FIVE and one-
half years.
Not only has this record smashed all
previous worlds records for milk pro-
duction, but the per cent of butter fat
is increasing daily, SO that, barring acci-
dents. this cow will undoubtedly pro-
duce more butter during period Of
twelve months than any other COW that
has ever been tested in the world. This

editorial clipping coming from the
Boise Slammer is all the defense he
needs before the people of this state,

LOCAL DRIVER ENTERS RACES

Guy NJ Miner, who is driving big

Boise, will probably drive one of the
racing machines in the August motor
meet at Inter-mountain park His
cousin, Clarence Miner of Salt Lake
City, owner of the speedy American
that has SKINNED over the track and
won a number of big events already
this season, will probably be in Boise
in few days and will make arrange
ments to have the local man pilot his
machine at the forthcoming race meet
Guy Miner has driven in some of
the biggest speed contests in this coun-
try, but has not been in the game for
four years owing to an accident at
Englewood park, Chicago, in which he
miraculously escaped with his life.
Miner was then driving ]. E. Blairs
200-horse power Benz. The race was
nearing the end when one of the "old
mares front shoes came off" The
powerful car was hurled into the air
and turned three complete somer-
saults. Miners mechanician, who
hanging way out of the car to balance
the machine, was thrown headlons up
the track a long distance, but escaped
being seriously injured.

BIG RESERVOIR AT JEROME.
VIII Be Great Boon to the North Side
Tract.

The report has been confirmed that
a big reservoir covering eleven square
miles will be built near Jerome, in the
immediate future. The exact location
OF the new reservoir will be between
Shoshone and Jerome, the northern
edge being about a Quarter of a mile
from the Newman Bros ranch, which
is seven and one-half miles south of
here. The reservoir will be supplied
with water by means of the High Line
canal from the Miner dam During
the seasons when the ranchers are not
irrigating the reservoir will be allowed
to silt, and will ultimately be filled
with water which otherwise go to
waste. This project means a great
deal to jerome and Shoshone. 1t will
water a large scope of rich country
too high to be irrigated by other meth
DDS. 1t means the reclamation of
great tract, the bringing in of more
settlers, and giving of an added impe-
tus to the general prosperity of Lin
coin county.-Shoshone Journal.

With a slight expense the now good
wagon road into Jarbidge could be
made into first class automobile road
SO that the trip which consumes so
much time could be made in twelve
hours with little difficulty. Twin Falls
mas spent money on the present road
and has enjoyed a furnishing trade as
a result. But right now Elko is MAX
Ing a strong bid for the Jarbidge
trade and is planning first class auto
road into the camp. If she accom-
pushes the stunt this city will lose
considerable of it's prestige in the mat
ter OF furnishing supplies. The pres
ent road is in good condition and an
expense OF five hundred dollars will
1urther improve it to allow cars to
MAKE the trip. The n,ining men in
the camp favor this city and will meet
the business men half way if they will
get busy. Twin Falls and it's busi-
ness men have too much at stake in
the camp to lose out now, so let's get
busy.

VINO have no right to place their
names before the people and ask for
further favor from them. The leaders
OF the party have no right to place

Just this same kind of disloyalty To the
best interests of the community is car
rled on under the guise of party low
atty, and the voters whipped into line
by the fear of a party defeat Sucb a
course is marking the finish of the
party because any party which places
itself and its interests above the good
OF the state is just as surely betray-
Ing it to its enemies as could any trail
tor in the time of danger. If the
American people cannot rise above the
pllnd following of party regardless of
the issues then indeed is the nation
not living up to the high standard
which was set in its beginning. In the
primary election which is to take place
IN this county in some cases only one
man will be on the ticket from each
party. In such cases it does not neces-
sarlly follow that the voter has to
vote such candidate if he is a man nm
worthy of the honor. Scratch his
name and record such disapproval, it
may make the party leaders wake up
In no other way will the party ever
measure up to the patriotic standards.

MAN OF CONVICTIONS.

1t has sometimes been said that a
man with convictions, even though
they be wrong, is better u, lar than
one with no convictions at all. The. e
is some chance to influence a man
with erroneous conviction to dismiss
it and adopt the true idea, but as to
the man with no convictions at all, it
iS.difficult ever to arouse any ,enthus-
iasm in his heart for anything that is
sound.
Our governor is a man of convic-
tons and fortunately he is not one
whose convictions are erroneous or
unsound. He is guided by correct
principles and his convictions are in
harmony with those of the great mass
of law-loving, law-abiding people of
the state. The Post, published at Mos
COW, takes occasion to call attention
to this feature of Governor Brady's
character. 1t refers to his participa-
ton as a speaker in the great meet
ing held at the Natatorium in Boise on
the occasion of the Laymen's conven-
ton, and proceeds to say:
THAT address at the convention was
characteristic of the man. Governor
Brady has profound convictions on
great subjects and he does not hest
tate to express them. He is one of
those who believe that it is the duty
OF all men to do what they can to ad-
vance the cause with which they are
in harmony. Governor Brody, on the
occasion to which we have referred,
realizing that, from his position as
governor, he could do vast good by
thus publicly giving his influence in
support of that great work of eyange-
liZation"
We call attention to this feature of
Governor Brady's character at this
time because we feel that, in this re-
spect, he contrasts in a striking man
ner with those who are his opponents
In the primary campaign. We do not
wish to reflect upon the others, but we
feel that Governor Brady is so far in |
advance of them in his convictions
that he should be the choice of all |
people who believe in securing men of |
sound and strong convictions as pub |
lie officials. 1t is because Governor
Brady is a man of strong convictions,
that he has made such a success dur
ing the two years he has served the |
people. Had he been a man without |
convictions, he would never have TAX
en- such prominent part as he has in
so many matters that directly affect
the moral and material interests Of the
state. We do not have to rely upon
the governors statements in order to
determine what his convictions are.
He has a record of thing done, which
speaks even louder than words, and
that record is so we'll understood by
the people of the state that we do not
think he will be rejected by them
when they go to the primaries to make
their selection of a Republican candi-
date for the place he occupies.-Poca-
