The Cassia c. Telephone Co.
is within ten miles of the plac.
and grading is being done on
the Salt Lake and Idaho railroad
and trains will be running by
Dec. 1st, from Burley to that
point.
1t will be a great convenience
to ranchmen and small towns in
the Raft River Valley to have
such a distributing point so
centrally located. 1t is said
that the railroad will also build
a round house at that point.
For years Cassia Co., has had
a large area OF very choice fertile
soil lying in a dormant condi-
ton. but it looks as it it would
now be inhabited and become
the most thickly populated
place of Southern Idaho. The
great amount of railroad build.
ing will add greatly to her
wealth and assist in the burden
of taxes.
We welcome these improve
ments.

1t is a well known fact that
no system Of crop rotation will
restore to the soil the potash
and phosphoric acid removed
by crops. Unless these clements
that are removed be returned in
some manner, the soil will in
evitably become too poor for a
very ambitious man to cultivate.
Common stable manure is con-
ceded to be one of the best
fertilizers for general purposes
and 1t is to be deplored that
much OF this valuable plant foot
be dumped away as so much
trash, or exposed to the leachinp
rams even when intended for
use. II it can make poor soil
rich it can certainly maintain
the fertility of rich soil. 1t is
not insisted that the use OF it
would be advisable in all cases
since the fertility of the soil and
the crop to be raised should be
the governing factors. but it IS
safe to assert that all stable
manure can advantageously be
used in any general farming com
munity:

BEETLES DESTROYING
MUCH TIMBER
$500 Acres in Swan River Valley
Infested with Terrible
Timber Pest.

Forests in northwestern Montana
are jeopardized by the pine beetle,
larvae which bores into the bark
and drains out the Sap, according
to the Helena Record. State Forest
er c. w. Jungberg has just return
ed to Helena from trip to the
Swan river valley, Flathead county
where the. beetle first appeared last
June. and has already devasted
$500 acres of timber land. Unless
prompt measures are taken, the pest
will spread and destroy thousands of
dollars worth of timber. Mr.. Jung
berg is going to recommend to the
state land board to chop down and
burn all the diseased trees, this be-
ing the only method so far found
for the determination OF the larvae.
The only other place the beetle
so far has ben found in the state
is on the Tongue River Indian reser-
walton in southeastern Montana. Its
appearance in this country was first
discovered about ten years ago in
the Black Hills where many square
miles of timber were ravaged.
From one square foot of bark Mr..
Jungberg extracted 14O beetles.
