require any financial outlay.
If the present tour is campaign
to educate the people in the needs of
a railroad commission in Idaho, then
it is a success. Many present, who
were little interested in a commits
sion, were fully educated and convert
ed to the fact that the people should
have some means of securing SER
vice and of reaching the railroad with
its complaints.
1t is hoped that the company might
still see it's way to stop No Is here.
This would make no difference in the
time of the train. 1t is known that
if a full tank of water is taken at
Nampa the train can always be
brough through to Mountain Home
before again taking water, but un-
ter the present system if the fireman,
when the train comes into Nampa is
in a hurry or a little tired, takes
part of a tank of water he comes
only to Cleft for another tank. AL
ways the train must stop either at
Cleft or this point for water There
fore, should the order be given to
take water enough to come into Noun
tain Home, the time schedule of the
train would remained unchanged and
this city given the better service Of
first class train into the city Of
Chicago.
1t is also hoped that the electric
lights will be placed at the depot in
order to light the way for passengers
on dark nights past the water tank
This would require a very small out
lay and be of very great service to
patrons of the road.
The subway should be built and
this is the only feature asked by the
citizens which would require any con-
siderable amount Of money. The traf-
fic across the tracks. and especially
since the opening Of the new hotel,
make some arrangements to care for
traffic imperative. Satisfactory drain
age can be found and this should not
be overlooked by the railroad com
pany Any accident to one of our
many children will work seriously
against the company and should be
averted.
The railroad should take care Of
Mountain Home and assist its peo-
pie in getting the service for which
it pays. The revenue from this point
has been great enough to insure to
the people the best the road has to
offer and the road should not with
hold anything within reason.

BREED NEW CLASS OF APPLE
Experiments Now Being Carried on
May Prove Invaluable to Farm
ers of Idaho.

If experiments which are being
conducted under the direction Of w.
H. Wieks, horticulturist Of the de-
partment Of agriculture Of the state
university, are successful, Idaho fruit
men will be enabled to handle a class
of apples which will combine all the
best qualities Of the Ben Davis, the
Jonathan and other we'll known vari-
eties of apples
Mr.. Wicks is now in Boise and in
speaking Of the work which he is
doing he yesterday said: 1--WE are
conducting apple breeding expert
metns which will mean a great deal
to the state We are using the Ben
Davis apple as the female parent and
we are crossing with the Winesap,
Jonathan and Wagner.
I'VE are doing the work on an
extensive plan and will make from
3OOe to 1000 pollinations every year.
We intend to plant the seed in the
green house. BY our experiments we
hone to evolve an apple which Will
have the best characteristics Of the
leading apples Of the state.
"The proposition is one of state
wide Importance and is not confined
to any single district We are using
the money Of the government known
as the Adams fund for the work. and
the problem is by far the most i'm
portant in research which we have
to deal with.
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1911-05-04

we are testing to ascertain the
'ertility of the various apples. to find
out which are self sterile.
Experiments on Tomatoes.
I'VE are now in our third year OF
work with toamtoes onions and mel
ons and we are collecting data look
ing toward the Improvement of each
of these vegetables for commercial
purposes. What we desire most Of
all is to select a tomato which Will
be resistent to blight. Once we get
such vegetable perfected it will be
worth thousands of dollars to the
growers of this state for the tomato
prospers here more han any other
vegetable but is unusually susceptible
to blight
From all ! can learn the recent
frosts did great harm to the cherry
crop in the north. and they will not
have more than so per cent of a
fun crop. But so far as / am in
formed the harm done in the Boise
valley district was not appreciable
There were a good many Of the buds
blighted but in most cases the loss
amounted to what would have been
done by the growers themselves in
thinning out the trees.
