A FEW SUGGESTIONS FRDu
MAN W8iO KNOWS

An article recently appeared ~
the Boise Statesman from the pee
Of f. r. stephens, q hOriicultufi5s
o. Nampa. II might be mepionef
here That Mr. Stephens has been III
the nursery business for many
years and IS one Of the best knowN
n0ftieulturists in the west In thu
article he shows how il is that All
orchard that bears heavily ore sea-
son may nave o light crop tl1e
next. He claims tnat it is possible
to raise splendid apple crops every
season provided the trees are given
the proper care ana attention. He
states that fruit buds form from
July to September and if the trees
are OyerbeaFlng at that time tbs
new buds will not be properly de-
vei0ped and VIII lack the necessary
yig0r and vitality to mature good
crop the next season. He also naln-
tains that strong, healthy, we'll de-
velOped buds VIII successfully re-
sist six degrees more cold whea
blOssOming than Will buds that are
weak and lacking in vitality. ln
order then to raise standard crops
Of apples and other fruit each year
it IS necessary to spray, trim and
thoroughly cultivate the trees and
thin out the buds to prevent over
bearing. The fertility Of the soil
must also be maintained. MrSteph-
ems idea Of thorough cultivation
may seem extreme but the success
he has experienced Ia many years
Of fruit culture is evidence that his
standard is none too high In
actual practice he cultiyates his
trees rs times during the grow
ing season and during the past TWO
years he has irrigated his orchard
near Nampa only once. It viii be
seen that he conserves the moisture
in the soil by constant cultivation
and by doing this the soil particles
are so thoroughly pulyerized that
soil fertility is maintained to the
highest extent. OF course, clover
and other leguminous plants assist
in maintaining the fertility Of the
soil.

from his visit to the home land.
Holland, which he left twenty four
years ago to seek his future IN
the land of the Free He talks
very enthusiastically about the I'M

in Holland since his bOyhood days
That country now has a perfect
network Of fine roads as level as

So numerous are bicycles there
that every highway has its bI-
cycle path where vehicles are not

NINE MEN TO SERVE TIME IN
THE STATE Pen

Judge E. A. Walters returned to
Shoshone the last of the week and
was occupied in chambers during
the time necessary to sentence
nine men to the state penitentlafy
at Boise. Charles Allen and Reeee
C. Clevenger were sentenced for
life for the murder of a musician
in HALEY resort only 3 short tifls
ago. Two other men. Lorenzo
Swift and Chas. Crawford, were
implicated in the same shooting
sclape and were convicted Of man
slaughter and sentenced to an in
dctfrminate term of from one to
len years. The trial and convie-
tion of these four men in the Hal
Joy district court IS regarded as
one of the speediest examples of
criminal procedure within the
history of the state The time has
gone by when gun play can be in
dulged in and the criminals escape
justice IN this section of Idaho.
Another man too handy with his
CUR, was Ben. NJ Higgs of Soldier.
who was convicted of manslaughter
and was sentenced to from four to
ten years in the pen. +. L. Tracy
and j. /. La We're were convicted
of burglary and were given an in
determinate sentence. Grow Mounts
for grand larceny, and J. BranOn,
obtaining money under false pre-
te1.ses, were the other men given
inderterminate sentences in the
Boise pen.

Z FEW THINGS DONG IN THE
BEET COUNTRY

The alfitude ef st. Anthony is

school the first OF the week reveal
'e1 evidences Of the recent winter
storm that swept the entire cOun-
Try some snow still showed IN
patches Beet fields near sugar

day notwithstanding the mud ard

sugar beets were left in piles near

The three sugar factories at Black
foot. Idaho City and sugar City are
crowded to the limit but it re-
quires a long time 10 manufacture
into sugar such a crop Of beefs
as IS raised In the upper Snake
river county.
The factory at Sugar City is
located on the opposite side of
the valley. thus allowing the farm
efs surrounding 1t to unload their
beets directly into the slIcing fac
tory where they are sliced and the
juice extracted and pumped
through a pipe line into the main
factory, miles away
It was stated in st Anthony that
there were hundreds Of thousands
of bushels OF grain still in the
fields either in stacks or IN the
shocks that were waiting for
threshers to come and make them
available Tor market. these fields
mostly lie above that city III the
dry farming regions where crops
were unusually heavy this season.
Another indication of the early
winter storm was a rotary snow

the side track at St. Anthony

trains when it would go to Ashton

line built out of that town toward

GOVERNORS SPECIAL ATTRACT
ING WIDE ATTENTION

More than one manager of coun-

to the trouble often met i'll getting

can be thought of the colossal
nerve of man who would ask ten
governors of as many states to
meet in one place not only for one
day, but for twenty-one days.
This is what James H. Brady has
done. Brady comes from the west

SPENDING CENTS
TO SAVE DOLLARS
COMMISSIONERS USE THE KIND
or ECONOMY THAT BENZ
FITS IN THE FUTURE

When the board Of county com
missioners see a way OF saving
Lincoln county thousands of dollars
in the future by the expenditure OF
hundreds of dollars in the present
they do not hesitate to make the
investment.
An Illustration of this policy
is afforded by the new plat books
OH which Mr.. f. NJ Walker of Je-
rome is working for the benefit OF
the assessors office.
Since the middle of August or
the first Of September, Mr.. Wal
ker has twice examined every pat
ent and deed on record in the
county recorders office and COM
pared every instrument with the
plat books Of the assessors office,
and where no plat was found, a
new plat was constructed by Mr
Walker. Al the present time the
old plat books are complete in so
far as they go, but they do not go
far enough. they do not have room
in which to plat irregular descrIp-
tions in metes and bounds, and
there are immense numbers OF
such descriptions ON the records
of this county.
Now Mr.. Walker is engaged IN
transferring to the new plat books
every lot and parcel of Lincoln
county. and every irregular des-
cription. whether of city lot or
country land, is accurately plated
on a page by itseh where printed
lines occur showing every square
chain of &c feet square CORES
ponding to the old chains in former
use
In these new plat books IS wrlt--
ten the name of every iot and
land owner in the county as shown
by present records. After these
books are fully made up they will
be kept posted up to date. Every
deed or patent fned for record VIII
be passed to the assessors Office
where the new name of the prop
erty owner will be entered OF
record.
When NJ. NJ. Mackey was assessor
and collector he tried to have these
plats authorized by the county
board but he failed to connect He
knew there were lands and lots
not on the assessment rolls because
they or the OSners could not be
found.
MI lSeUDtfE states t1dt iIc tiiiC
of one clerk Will be saved by
means of the new plats when they |
are completed. Mr.. Walker es-
Inmates ,.lat the cost of ehe books |
or plats and the labor necessary to |
perfect them Will be paid back |
into the county treasury during |
the years 1914 and 1912 by reason |
of ti3e discovery of lands and own
ers which could not be found be- |
fore the new system was adopted.
Mr. Walker expects to have the |
work completed in much less time |
than six months from the date of /
beginning.
The county commissioners are to |
be congratulated for undertaking |
this work that will save the county /
many dollars every year over and |
above its inauguration and up
keep.
AS showing the immense amount
of work involved in this plating
business, it might be mentioned
that there are over $4,000 lots in
this county now on record, and
that the number of individual
names now on the assessors rolls
is between 5000 and 10000.
