OWYHEE DIRECTORS
WERE ELECTED

The annual election of officers Of the
Owyhee Irrigation district took place
Tuesday All of the board was re-
elected except in the Nyssa division
where w. L. Gibson was chosen to
succeed Mr.. Mcdonald. The five di-
rectors elected are H. Walters, Owyhee,
district No. /; w. L. Gibson, Nyssa,
division No. 2; c. C. Hunt, Arcadia,
division No. 8; ]. F. Weaver Ontario,
division No. 4 c. H. Brown, White
Settlement, division No. 5.
This district, in a measure, is con-
nected with the development of the
Gem Irrigation district, since both dis
tricts lie along the south side OF the
Snake river. While the two districts
are distinctly separate, the develop
ment of the one will benefit the devel-
opment of the other. Both districts
comprise the finest fruit land in south
ern Idaho.

Electricity Makes Wool Grow.

According to Professor Silas Went
worth of Los Gatos, California, his OBJ
serVations of the influence of high
voltage wire on animal and vegetable
life during the past year have proved
that electricity will more than double
the normal increase of the flock and
also greatly increase the yield of wool.
On his experimental farm on the
Tyler place, Roseville, California,
band Of two thousand sheep was divid-
ed, one-half being placed in field I'M
der the power wires of the Great West
ern Powre company, while the others
were kept entirely away from all cleo
trio influence that might emanate.
In the field under the electric power
line the production of lambs averaged
fraction over two lambs to each eve.
In the adjoining field where electrical
influence was lacking the lambs aver
aged less than one to each eve.
Similar difference, Prof. Wentworth
declares, were noted in the wool yield.
From the sheep kept in the electrically
influenced field the fleeces proved not
less than 20 per cent heavier than
those from the other sheep kept remote
from such influences.
Preparations are now being made ia
pillow up both fields and plant the
grounds in wheat, The power COM
pany will be requested to extend the
power lines throughout the entire Tyler
field so that the measure of the in.
fluence of the powerful electric cur.
rent may be increased. Professor
Wentworth declares that he is very
confident that the yield of wheat IL
the Tyler field will be over 100 per cen
heavier than in the adjoining field
