EBERT FARMERS TURN
TO CATTLE RAISING

ELBERTON, Ca, Nov. Large
numbers of influential farmers of El-
bert county are making great prepare
tions for the coming of the boil weevil
They are going into the cattle business
on a big scale and are purchasing Ten
nessee steers for the purpose of fatten-
ing them and selling to butchers ana
packers in the larger cities. The main
thing the cattle are wanted for is the
fertilizer with which to permanently i'm
prove the soil
Capt. Charles w. Parker, postmaster
at Elberton, is the pioneer in the bust
ness. Last year he fed 40 steers until
they were fat enough for the market
He paid for the cattle and the feed just
what he sold them for when they were
fat He obtained ESQ tons of fertilizer
from the pen in which they were fed.
This manure is estimated to be worth
S45 per ton. He. therefore, cleared
the sum of $640 on the deal. 1t is said
that many OF the most prominent farm
ers of Ebert county are meeting with
similar luck in buying and fattening
the steers.

at the depth indicated will not disrupt
the soil by throwing 1t upside down but
will loosen 1t from below. Where the
desire is TO turn the soil up, more dy-
Mantle would have to be used. We
think a half stick used four feet apart
in each direction viii lanswer the pur-
pose. One should be careful not to sub
soil land with dynamite when 1t Is wet
as there is danger Of pudding IT.
The acidity of the soil may be deter
mined by litmus paper. Scrape the sur
face of the soil away to a depth or two
inches, and place some of the lower soil
in a clean tin cup and moisten with
rain water. Insert the blue litmus pa
per and IL it turns red rapidly the soil
is acid Lime will correct this acidity.
Some forms of fertilizer carry lime, but
not in sufficient quantity to answer the
purpose of a soil deficient in this ma
terial. Half of a ton of acid phosphate
consists of sulphate of lime. Basic clag
contains considerable quantities OF lime
as do floats. Caustic lime is one of the
best materials to use on soils that are In
bad physical condition. On those well
supplied with vegetable matter, hydrat-
ed lime or the finely ground raw rock
may be used. At least two tons of fine
ly ground rock should be used per acre
as compared with one ton OF caustic
lime.
You can prepare a formula containing
s per cent of phosphoric acid. 2 per cent
of nitrogen and per cent of potash by
mixing together 700 pounds of cotton
seed meal containing SIS per cent nitro
gen. $50 pounds of muriate of potash
and 1000 pounds of 16 per cent acid
phosphate. To this formula you would
have to add 40 pounds of earth in or
der TO bring II up to 1000 pounds and
carry out the percentage composition of
the formula as indicated. We believe
this formula would answer well on red
land. II is contemplated. of course, that
you will use nitrate Of soda at the rata

foresee. The trouble arose over
the dismissal of Miss McCutch-
con, high school teacher. by
the board of trustees upon
charges preferred by PRINCIPAL
Harper and High School Super
lntendent King, who claimed the
lady was not maintaining proper
discipline. When the action of
the board became known the
students refused to attend school
unless Miss McCutcheon was re-
lnstated or the two professors
discharged. The parents seem
to side with the students and on
Monday only four students out
or sixty were in attendance in
the high school,. Miss McCutch-
con has been teaching at Grange
vile for two years while Profess
sors Harper and King are new

BALL LEAGUE
ORGANIZED
Representatives of Prairie Towns
Met Sunday at Vollmer and
Organized a League to Furn-
ish Games This Season.

A. T. Hughes went to Vollme,
Sunday to represent the loca
ball team in the efforts to organ.
ize league covering the two
prairies. Representatives were
present from the various towns
and the meeting resulted in the
organization of the league as
planned, with the following off
GERS to manage it's affairs for this
season: President, DIR. Slusser,
of Grangeville; vice president,
DR.. Gainard, of Reubens; secre-
tary, ]. Martin, of Vollmer;
treasurer, Roy Luscombe, of
Vollmer.
1t was decided that the first
league game is to be played not
later than May 7th, and that the
home team is to pay all expenses
of the visiting team and should
receive the gross receipts, less
one per cent which goes to the
league for maintaining general
expenses. A meeting of the
league will be held at Ilo on April
9TH to arrange the schedule of
games.
The teams comprising the
league will be from Reubens,
Winchester, Nezperce, Ilo-Voll-
mer, Cottonwood and Grange
vile.
The local team is. having the
fence around the grounds repair
ed and extended and will get
into shape to commence hard
practice within a short time. |
The league should furnish some
extra good games during the
season and will doubtless afford
much amusement for every town
in the organization.

Poll Tax Must Be Paid In Cash

For the benefit of our reader,
we publish below the new roac
law passed by the last legislature
which requires that all road tax
must be paid in cash in future
instead of being worked out as
IN the past. We do not believe
the law will meet with popular
approval, especially in newly set
tied districts where ready cash
is a scarce commodity. Repre-
sentative Parker, of this place,
used all of his influence to kill
the measure and was assisted in
his efforts by all of the Idaho
county delegation.
The bill follows:
House Bill No. 394. An act
requiring that all road poll taxes
be paid in money; and repeating
all acts and parts of acts incon-
sistent herewith; and declaring
an emergency.
Be it enacted by the legislature
of the state of Idaho:
Section 1. All road poll taxes
levied or assessed, or fixed in
any manner by law, shall be paid
or collected in money.
Section 2 No road poll tax
shall hereafter be paid by the
performance of labor upon the
roads, bridges, acqueducts or
highways of any county.
Section 3. All acts and parts
Of acts inconsistent with this act
are hereby repealed.
