Experiments With New Variety.

Arthur A. Smith will experiment
with Improved Winter Emmer on
his dry farm next year. At $1,000
bushel for seed his field will not
be very extensive. but will be as lars
as a bushel will seed. The seed was
procured from Professor Buffum. OF
the Wyoming plant and seed breed
ing farm.
The claim is made that Improved
Winter Emmer will yield from rs
to 100 bushels per acre on irrigated
land. and Mr.. Smith is anxious to
know what it will do on dry land.
Professor Buffum. who originated
the variety, is doing the same work
with seeds that Burbank is with
plants-crossing and breeding up
and creating new varieties.

Grow Peas On Summer Fallow

Growing peas is one of the profit
able ways to handle land during the
season that the farmers who practise
the fallow system appear to indulge
the mistaken idea that land needs
rest
1t is not rest the land needs, but
rather proper system of rotation of
crops and proper cultivation
1t is not occording TO nature that
idleness is necessary to obtain the
best results, but rather the reverse
Race horses and athletes are not
permitted such idleness. but are
worked very hard while in training.
Race horses and athletes while of a
different nature) are of the same
creation as is the soil
The college farms never fallow a
foot of land on the bare system. All
land is regularly rotated. Peas and
corn seem to be the most profitable
for this locality Potatoes are the
best for the land, but the crop is un-
certain from a market standpoint
Field A on the college farm was
plowed during the month of Decem-
ber, 1909 Some mornings the top Of
the ground was somewhat frozen. bu
the pow was stopped only when the
impossible to plow, usually about tw
hours in the morning 6.33 acres of
this land was sown to peas in the
spring of 1910. They were of several
varieties including the white Canad-
ian. which was by far the best yield
err The wind mixed them up SO that
no definite yield could be obtained
The yield for the entire field vaas
little over Is bushels per acre. This
is a light yield for peas. but some
OF the varieties were amost worthless
thus affecting the average yield very
materially. These peas were sown
with a double disc drill at the rate
of IS pounds per acre The drill was
set at full depth.
On the college farm peas planted
in this manner have yielded as much
as 40 bushels per acre. The Wash
ington State College claims to have
produced as much as 20 bushels per
acre by cultivation.
After havesting the peas from the
tract the land was double disked
and sown to Red Russian wheat The
wheat was narrowed twice in the
spring As is the custom a ten-foot
strip was cut round the field for
hack swdth and made into hay. The
actual measure of the back swath is
FL 900 square feet, thus cutting the
acreage OF the field to 5-s4 acres
The actual average of 51.e2 bushels
per acre. =
Seed peas are much in demand
and are quoted by the seed houses
at this time at $3.50 per one hund-
rel pounds F. 0. B. Farmers will
be lucky to get seed peas az $3.50
per hundred pounds next spring.
Farmers can realize from $3.50
10 $500 for seed peas any spring. |
have never seen them beow $500 in
he local market
There has been disappointment
elr by some who have tried to grow
peas. but the cause is improper meth
Ids rather than impossibility.

ADOPTS NEW POLICY


| The state of Idaho has adopted a
new policy in reference to the in
vestment of its permanent funds
Heretofore it has invested its money
largely in school bonds, drawing
per cent intreest. and has $2,197,00t
SO invested. By action taken at a
special meeting Of the board, the
sale OF $25O.000 worth of these bono
was ordered with a view to reinvest-
Ing the funds in farm loans. and
putting the money into circulation.
State Auditor s. D. Taylor. who pro-
posed this policy and secured its
adoption by the land board, has the
following to say of it's advantages:
The state has $2,197,000 tied up
In school bonds drawing per cent.
1t Is proposed to sell these bonds to
eastern bond buyers who are anx-
ious to purchase them and to loan
the money out on improved farms
at per cent. This will enable US
to turn $2.000.000 into the channels
OF business in the state OF Idaho.
Under the present stringency in the
money market, this of itself will
stimulate business conditions, but
this Is not the only advantage 1t
will give the farmers $2,O0O,OOO in
per cent money where they are
now paying 8 and 10, and make a
saving of $4,000 annually to the
citizens of the state, while the state
Itself Will have six per cent instead
OF five per cent investment While
the action of the land board calls
for the sale of only $3.50 900 worth
OF these bonds at the present time,
| am in favor of the sale of the en-
tire holdings of the state as fast
as the money can be reinvested in
farm Ioans"'
1t is proposed to invest the money
In new loans as far as possible so as
to keep it in the channels of bushes
in the state, rather than to take up
loans already in force with eastern
mortgage companies. The latter
would mean only a saving of three
per cent interest, while the money
secured on first loans will remain
and circulate in the state.
Any business depression felt in
Idaho is due to influence without an
not within the state Idaho has
bumper crops and prices are good.
There has been little diminution in
the big pay rolls in the lumber
camps and the mines. But there is
no denying the fact that money mat
ters are depressed A state like Ida
no with its rich undeveloped re-
sources needs outside capital all the
time. and its is most 1ueky stroke
of fortune that the state has a cou-
pie of million of dollars worth of Sc
curities that can be cashed at such
an oppOrtune time and the proceeds
put into circulation. ."-Pocatello Tri-l

Our great mistake In education IL.
as 1t seems to me. the worship Of book
learning-the confusion OF instruction
and education. We strain the memory
instead OF cultivating the mind. The
children In our elementary schools
are wearted by the mechanical act OF
writing and the intermilabls intri-
cacies OF spelling: they are oppressed
by columns OF dates, by lists of kings
and places. which convey no definite
idea to their minds. and have no near
relation to their daily wants and oc-
cupauons.-Sfr John Lubbock

tract last Saturday to A. Logan on
DID OF $l26.O0 higher than that oil
Mr. Jeffries. Jeffries protested and
was preparing to fight the matter
when the board reconsidered its ac-
ZION and gave him the contract.
Bids were called for by advertise
ment and personal solicitation. two
or three weeks prior to last Satur-
day when the award was made. re-
sulting in the following bids:
X. l. Ewing :. :. ..S1295
A. Logan :. 117O
d. B. Jefries 1O49
Levi Southwell 1870
The board met last Saturday and
although the bidders were present
at the appointed place, oponed the
bids privately and awarded the con-
tract to Logan. The contractors did
not like the closed door method and
inquiry developed the fact that the
contract had not been let to the
lowest bidder. Jeffries entered a
vigorous protest as soon as this fact
developed and oave notice that he
would contest the award. He felt
that he had been handed a bunch"
and did not propose to standfor it.
The trustees justified their act on
the ground that they had understood
that Jeffries had lot of work on
hand and therefore would not be
able to give his personal attention
to the work.
The board has employed Archi-
tect j. P. Hayward to superintend
the construction, and allowed the
contractor thirty DAYS in which to
do the work. which he claims is an
unreasonable time, considering the
cement work and plastering necessar
to be done and the season of year.
