BUYS FRUIT LAND
IN WAsHoE

E. A. Blair, who some time ago
disposed of his fine twenty two
and one half acre orchard on the
bench near Fruitland for 5000 per
acre and has spent the greater part
of year looking for a location bet
ter than Payette Valley, has at last
decided that there is no place the
equal of this valley and this week
through the agency of Wells & Maule
closed a deal whereby he becomes
the owner of seventy five acres OF
fruit land in Washoe, the land being
a part of the Shamberger estate.
Mr.. Blair on Tuesday of this week
purchased by wire from a California
nursery 1000 Clargeau pear trees and
from George Fonner 800 of the i'm
proved variety of Arkansas Black
and 400 White Winter Pearmain.
He has yet to add to his tree or
ders 1000 Rome Beauty trees and
some other varieties. There will
be no delay in improving the tract
of land as Mr.. Blair states he will
at once begin leveling and hopes to
get some of the trees in the ground
this fall yet.
The tract purchased by Mr..
Blair lies just across the road from
the grounds of the Payette Valley
Driving club and is within five or
ten minutes drive Of the Payette
postoffice.
The improving and setting to or
chard of so large tract of land by
one man so near the city and a
man of the fruit experience that
Mr. Blair has would indicate strong
faith in that particular section as
to the quality of soil and undoubted-
ly means greater activity in Washoe
land than for some time.

ALFALFA CULTURE IN IDAHO,

The raising of alfalfa is one of
the leading industries Of Idaho.
There are two reasons for this.
First, because Idaho soil is especi-
ally fitted for alfalfa growing. second,
because there is so much stock such
as sheep. cattle and horses that must
be fed in the winter The people In
eastern states know alfalfa by the
name of lueeFne.
A great deal depends on the pre-
paration OF the soil for the seed.
First, the sage brush must be
cleared from the ground Then. in
the fall. the land should be plowed
and narrowed. This should be done
in the fall so that the ground will
settle during the winter and make
a firm bed for the seed. In the
spring the seed is planted. A press
drill is considered the best way of
planting. This plants the seed about

TO CARE, FOR
HOMELESS CHILDREN

Mary A. Williams OF Denver was
in Payette on Wednesday of this
week in the interest of the Home
League of America with its head
quarters at Denver. The object of
her visit to Payette was to secure
the cooperation of all interested in
the work of caring for homeless
children. The institution which she
represents was founded August,
1896 by Jay M. Lind. Chartered May
s, 1897. Ground was secured for
buildings in Denver in 1901 and
buildings commenced in March 1908.
Stree that time the institution has
cared for over 1900 children, over
500 widowed mothers
Children that are homeless are
taken to this home in Denver and
given proper care until suitable
homes where they will receive edu-
cation and good care can be found
for them. The institution also takes
many children from widowed moth
ers and looks after them until such
time as the mother can find employ
ment and get herself in such fl
nancial condition to look after them
herself.
The lady went from here to Hunt
ington and it is the request of the
Home League that anyone knowing
of any cases CT destitute, homeless
or widowed mother needing help,
that they will report the same to
them as their work is national in
scope and they are making every
effort to cover the field successful
ly.
While in Payette the Lady received
many Voluntary subscriptions for
assistance in the work as many
of our best known citizens have for
number of years been assisting by
contributing their money to the sup
port of the Home League.

one and one-half inches deep and
covers it so there is no waste,
From ten to twenty pounds of seed
are planted to the acre. With the
drill, or seeder, as it is sometimes
called, it takes from ten to twelve
pounds.
One cannot tell definitely about
the irrigation. 1t depends on the
depth and kind of SOIL A light,
sandy soil would not need water as
often as a clay soil. This is be-
cause clay is apt to crack and the
air penetrate the ground. while
sandy soil does not do this. it max
ing or forming more Of mulch.
However, i should never be al
lowed to become dry to any great
depth.
The first year when it is about
eight or ten inches high the field
is clipped with mower. These tops
fall on the ground and make a mulch
around the roots of the alfalfa and
besides. the stalked clipped throws
out shoots called stools" thus max
ing larger yield.
During the second year the owner
generally cuts three crops. 1t is
said by some that the third crop
does not mature so well as the 9th
er two crops, This is perhaps be-
cause of the cool nights in August
and September. The hay Is cut
when it is in full flower. The av-
erage number OF tons to the acre
Is about five or six, though in un-
usual cases, nine or ten. This is
for the three crops.
The hay is sold in the fall, gener-
ally, the average price paid being
about six dollars ton.
Considering the food nourishment
of alfalfa and the number of tons
produced to the acre, there is no
other forage crop of equal feed
value.

CLUB HAS AN
INTERESTING MEETING
Y Special Session Commercial Club
Takes Up Matters of Importance
Passes Resolution as Opposed
to the Creation of Railway Com
mission for the State at This
Time.

While there was only the usua
number of the tried and faithful
members who always attend, present
at the meeting of the commercial
club held last Monday evening to
consider several matters, considerable
business was done.
The matter of the sale of inferior
fruit at the trains by the boys was
bror - up and after great deal
of discussion it was finally moved
and carried that committee of
three be appointed by the President
to devise a plan if possible where
by the young boys engaged in the
sale of fruit at the passenger trains,
could secure only the best variety of
fruits at a price that would permit
of their making a good profit. 1t
was the sense of the meeting that
the sale of inferior fruit at the
trains is a great mistake and
soTere knock on the valley that
claims to be a fruit producing sec
ton and while there was no disposi-
ton expressed that the boys should
not be allowed to sell fruit yet
there was a decided feeling that
some plan should be arranged where
by they would handle only first class
fruit.
Another matter that came up was
a request from the immigration bu-
reau of the state for few boxes OF
apples to so in the exhibit the state
will make at the Chicago Land show
this fall. A committee was ordered
to take charge of and arrange for
an exhibit to go from Payette to
the immigration bureau.
The committee having in charge
the securing of the car load of fruit
Ibe sent to the Horticultural Con-
sress at Council Bluffs in November
reported excellent progress and that
they had secured in the neighbor-
hood of five hundred boxes of fine
apples Of all varieties to ship to
Council Bluffs and be held in cold
storage until the show. The car
will probably leave this week some
time.
A communication from the Leag-
ue of Southern Idaho clubs asking
the Payette club to go on record
in the matter of railroad commits
sion was read and the following
resolution was introduced:
I'VE are not in favor of railway
commission for this state at the
present time, and think that such
a commission would be an un-
necessary expense upon the state
in its present state of development" "
A motion to table was lost and
the original motion carried unani-
mously.
After discussion it was decide that
the club favored the appropriation by
the state of $4,000 to be used by
the emmigration bureau advertising
Idaho and her resources and would
work TO the end that the sDpria-
, tion be made.
A motion that the Payette Club
again associate itself with the Leag
he of Southern Idaho Clubs was
carried and tthe secretary instruct
ed to forward the dues and enroll
the club in the league provided that
the League of Clubs in session at
Gooding does not decide the dis
contiv siug of foreign adver rs.

Miss Bertha Smith of Freesoil,
Michigan, a sister of Charles R.
Smith, arrived in Payette Sunday
morning to spend the winter with
her brother. On the way out Miss
Smith says she heard great deal
about Payette Valley and the won
derful apples raised here and was in
clined to doubt the veracity of one
conductor that told her they raised
apples in Payette Valley so large
that a single one would fill mans
hat. On arriving in Payette she
told her brother the story and it re-
ouired but a few moments for him
to prove the fact to her by produe-
ing from his cellar a Wolf River that
completely filled his hat-and Smiths
head is not so small either.

ranch of Thos. Ashworth, while

Mystery surrounds the vicious as
sauIt made on Mrs. Casilda Rodriguez,
a woman nearly 100 years old. in her
home at IS Alta street, yesterday morn
ing. Small boys passing by her home
several hours later heard means and
ran and notified the police. The officers
found the aged woman lying uncon-
scious on the floor with several deep
wounds in her head and a bloody
hatchet lying beside her.
Mrs. Roderiguez could give the po-
lice no Information regarding the at

say that while she was sewing in her
home yesterday morning at about 9
o'clock some one came into the sitting
room and struck her Mrs. Rodriguez
Is slightly deaf She told the police
that she did not see who it was that
struck her, but that she believed it
was a man.
Policemen Reade and Fowler worked
several hours on the case yesterday, but
their attempts 10 learn the identity of
the person or persons guilty of the
dastardly assault were futile. The vic
tim Of the attack was unable to say
last evening at the central emergency
hospital whether she had been robbed
or not.
The woman is in a precarious' con-
dition. The wounds in her scalp re-
Quired several stitches TO close and the
surgeons at the hospital say she may
have a fractured skull The hatchet
with which the assault was made was
the property OF Mrs. Rodriguez.
