Horticultural Expert Agrees
That Apples VIII Pay
Big Nursery Sales.

Prof. o.. F. Littooy, of Mountain
Home, was in Richfield Saturday, to
look after some of the orchard work
in this section that has been commit
ted into his charge.
Prof Littooy can easily lay claim
to have established a new industry,
or profession, that of consulting hor
ticulturist. Without owning or be-
ing in the market for any particular
locality boost, he has offered his ex-
perience and ability to the public
for general horticultural consulta-
tion---and he is today one of the
busiest men in Southern Idaho. He
has in all several thousand acres Of
orchards to supervise; the prepara-
ton of the ground, the selection of
the site the choice of varieties. the
cultivation and the general care and
development of the orchard up to a
commercial proposition His ability
as a fruit man is recognized all over
the northwest, and he promises to
be the most valuable citizen in the
state, in doing what he is for the
development of Idaho's most profit
able crop.
In speaking of the fruit-growing
possibility of this section, Prof Lit
tooy says that there is every reason
to believe that this Will be an ex-
cellent place for growing the best
of winter apples. Not every part OF
the tract, however, will be equally
good for the purpose. The ridges
and knobs will be the best, as on
thes slight eelevations from the gen
eraI level of the country there will
be less frost, giving a longer grow
ing and ripening season. The frost
will always go to the low lands first
on the well known scientific fact of
cold air being heavier than warm,
and the early frosts in the fall pass
by the high lands Just as the late
spring frosts do. Careful selection

j. E. Lane, part owner and gen
er and general agent for the Bing-
ham County Nursery at Blackfoot,
is in Richfield this week, delivering
stock ordered in the winter and TAX
ing new orders to be delivered as
soon as they can be sent in and the
goods packed. Mr. Lane has had a
fine business in this sectino, the
fact that his stock is grown at a
high altitude---4500 feet, consider
ably higher than this---being one Of
the best arguments. The advice of
all horticulturists is to plant trees
and seeds from higher attitudes or
latitudes, so as to get hardy, accli-
mated stock. Blackfoot has come
to be noted for its apples, and the
fruit and nursery business there is
well cared for
Mr. Lane says that he has sold
large number of fruit trees to go
to considerably higher attitudes than
this, and that the buyers. acting on
the advice of good fruit men from
all over the country, expect to be
successful in raising fruit, especially
apples, at an altitude of nearly a
mile above sea level. The apples in
the higher places are less juicy, and
keep better than those grown in the
low lands With the development of
hardy varieties, and more scientific
cultivation and care for the trees,
the fruit belt can be vastly increas-
ed, and the whole country can have
the apples that have for so long a
time been only the luxury of the
few and well-favored.

A FALSE ALARM.
No School Election in RichfieId I'm
til Next September.

til Next September
A little furry ruffled the usually
placid bosoms of the school board
this week, when it was reported to
them that they had to call an cleo
tion for new trustees, and for the
purpose Of voting a special school
tax for carrying on the schools for
the coming year.
But it was a false alarm. 1t
wasn't So The common school dis
trict elections for both these pur-
poses are du to bee held on the
third Saturday of April, which is
Saturday of this week. But Rich
field is an independent district, and
the annual election comes in Sep
tember. AS to the special school
tax, that is decided upon and order
ed by the board, and is not put up
to the people at an election, atall-
So there will be no election here on
Saturday. and NO special tax levy
at the present time.
The board expects to ct throuh
next year with smaller special tax
levy than was voted last year---prob-
ably about 10 mills on the present
property valuation. The assessor
has not yet visited Richfield, to set
valuations on the property. Under
the law he is supposed to assess
at 'full cash value"---which is a
wonderfully elastic term. Assuming
that the old assessed valuation is
about on a par with the assessments
elsewhere in Idaho, averaging one
fourth of the market value Of prop
erty, there will be nc need of
special tax this year if the full-cash-
value plan is followed. AS the law
requires that the school assessment
shall be mills on every dollar of
assessed valuation, to quadruple the
valuation will be equivalent to the
regular tax of 5 mills and a special
tax of 1 5 mills, or 20 mills in all,
on the old valuation SO there will
be no special tax levy until the as
sessment roll is figured out. To or
der a special tax on the present val
uation, and then have to stand by
the rate though the valuation be in
creased four times, would raise tax
enough to send the whole populate
of Richfie d to California for the
winter for tleir health. Which, in
deed, would need the change by the
time they paid all their taxes

Irrigate In RichfeId
City Buys Water and Will Install A
Ditch System for Trees and Lawns
Park to Be Beautified.

Richfield now has as good a wat
er system for irrigation purposes,
as any town in the West.
Following out the recommenda-
tions of the joint water rates com
mission that fixed the rates for the
present city water works system, it
was decided that the city should buy
a water supply from the company, to
be ised for irrigation purposes only,
through an open ditch system A
contract has been drawn up and
signed, whereby the city buys waite
for 120 acres of land at a price of
S25 per acre. 1t was claimeb by
the rate commission that the com
pany should have dedicated a ditch
water right to the city; but since
it had been allowed to go so long,
it would be the part of wisdom to
Guy a water supply now, while it
could be had on easy terms. The
company Offered exceptionally easy
terms, bringing the water to the
corporate limits for $25 an acre,
and requiring no payment on the
purchase price until 1915 The city
will have to undertake the distribu-
tion of the water, as there is no
franchise covering the company dis
of water within the cor
porate limits, and the board did not
see a way to regulate that matter
while the company built and claimed
the bitches.
AS the incoming city council ex-
ects to make this irrigation system
one of its first duties this spring, a
good water supply is assured, and

much garden sass that the trains

however; all the snow on the high

CAN'T QUIT 1T.
Shecpmen, Original Owners of State
Can't Give Up Free Range.

1t is reported that some of the
peripatetic sheep men who have as
usual made their spring camps on
the Richfield tract, have again been
as careless as ever in the matter of
leaving dead sheep around in the
coulees and draws. There is new
law, which will go into full effect on
the 9th of May, that will make the
stream-polluters so hard to catch
that they are likely to wish that
it had been a cyclone or pestilence
instead of law that hit them. The
whole wide world has been the pri-
vate pasture of the sheep herder for
SO long that it is more than second
nature to still believeit's so. But it
ism tor at least it won't be after
the new health law goes into effect.
Speaking of sheep, there are two
