The Holiday
Bazaar Very
Promising.

The General Committee of the
Bazaar met Thursday afternoon
and good reports were made
relative to the progress in the
different organizations that have
the matter in charge.
On every hand people are busy
making something for the event.
Among other contributions al
ready reported, Bp. Sagers of
8asin Ward has donated 5OOlbs.
Flour md Jos. Beck has given a
Lot 66x165 #. in Lot 2, Block 4
Just south of the Tabernacle, the
deed for which has already been
made out.
Other such gifts could be made
and no one would feel cramped
at all by turning in a lot of land
tor the upbuilding of the magni-
ficent school now in operation in
our midst.
1t has been decided to hold the
Bazaar in the Light Air Park
Rink, SO as not to interfere with
the School Work, altho Basket
Ball and Concerts will be held in
the School Building.
All Articles should be brought
in Saturday. December 10th and
and Monday the 18TH they will
be placed in position and on
Tuesday, December 10th the
Bazaar opens, lasting four days.
The zeal and earnestness mani
tested in this movement exceeds
any thing heretofor experienced
in Oakley and it promises to be
a demonstration of what the
people IN this community and
surrounding towns can do in
making home made articles.
Everybody's welcome,
Everybody come,
Don't be found a sulking,
But come and have some fun.

On Tuesday Of lest week, Elder
Alma Wells, who tsAdoing Miss
ionary work in Galesburg. Ill,
was shot in the leg by some un-
known person while on his way
to a family friends. Il was short
lv after six o'clock the shooting
occurred. EIder Wells was cross
a railroad bridge on his way to
the aforementioned place, when
he evidently was mistaken for
another party.
The first shot taking effect
struck in the leg. He stoppeo
and turned partly around when
another bullet struck his coat on
the breast and glanced coming
out under the arm, doingno bod.
lily injury. He Immediately fell
to the groun, as if dead. when
the two would-be murderers
came up. one holding a gun at
his head while the other felt over
his face and searched HIM. One
then remarked I'VE have got the
wrong man" and hurried off and
SO far made their escape good.
Elder Wells was taken to Chic
ago where he is given the best o
care and is doing nicely. He il
not in any danger as the only
wound was in the leg, although
he had very close call.
In all there were nine shot:
fired. His friends at home al
hope for his speedy recovery and
safety through the Missionary
work.

"A Suggestion to the New
Settler and inexperienced
Farmer.

Among the many people who
have recently located in Idaho
and settled upon tracts OF new
land, there are those who arejust
beginning in this new country
their first experience in farm life
However well they had prepared
themselves for their former pro-
fessions, and however successful
they have been in practising they
will find that in order to success
fully develop raw land into fertile
farms, knowledge of a different
sort, but OF no LEES specific nature
is necessary. To such let me
suggest that successful farm pra-
ctice in this state, as else where,
rests primarily upon Wedge
of the requirements of the soil
Hence if you would be the owner
of a farm that ten years from
now will mark you as a success
full farmer, begin now to study
the nature and requirements of
your soil.
We have learned from 4 large
number OF analyses the general
character of the soils ofthe state,
both in north and south Idaho.
From these analyses there is
every reason to believe that the
limiting factor in crop product
ion in both sections of the state
will prove to be soil nitrogen.
Almost without exception our
soils, north and south, are except
ionalyrich in potash, phosphoric
acid, lime and all other essential
mineral compounds required by
cultivated crops. Not so, how
ever, in the element nitrogen,
without liberal supply of which,
satisfactory crops are an imposs-
1bility. l here are many localities
where the soil must first be en-
riched with this element before it
will produce as heavily as it is
capable OF produing. Perhaps
you have settled in a locality
where such is the case.
Ii your crops during the past
season. with sufficient rainfall
and thorough cultivation tailed
to make a thrifty growth, you
may take it for granted that they
were not provided by your sell
with a sufficient amount of the
element nitrogen in an available
form. The remedy of course, is
obvious-increase the stock of
nitrogen in your soil-but it's
application calls tor good judg-
ment If you are engaged in
gardening or IN growing some
specialized crop that commands
a high price, you may make lib
eral use OF the commercial nitro.

New Land being Developed

H. G.. Morris who took a 80
mile ride over the Oakley Tract
last Saturday reports a great
deal of development work as tax
ing place this fall on the new land
Chas. Cr1st has cleared about
200 acres for himself and others,
in addition to blowing so acres
for himself MIR. Crist has sowed
so acres of fall wheat and several
acres o. barley His ranch shows
the result of much hard work
and intelligent effort, and his
buildings appear substantial.
He also has a fine we'll, windmill,
steel tank, etc, and a goodly
amount of live stock.
c. c. Buchan, near Mr. Crist
has 20 acres cleared, good house,
fine well and pump. His total
holdings are 80 acres.
II. G.. Morris has 80 acres clear
ed and will build the coming
gsu1nmer and move to his new
home
Mr.. Cramer has slightly i'm
provements, is clearing and busy
all the time getting his new ranch
ready for the water.
Messrs. Porter and Carnes have
done lots Of hard work on their
Carey-Act land and it looks as
though they mean business.
Mr.. Doulitz who has a new
ranch straight north on the Island
road is very enthusiastic over
the Oakley Valley land. He
comes from the best fruit lands
of Washington and says he be-
lieves thoroughly in the future
of our valley.
A. l.. McIntire and G. E. Witt,
formerly of Ohio, who have been
residents OF the valley the past
two years will devote a great
deal of their time thecoming year
to developing their new ranches
Owen ToIman has seeded 60
acres this fall. MIR. Tolman rails
ed some good corn this year with
out any water whatever.
We have the soil, the climate.
railroads, schools, lodges. church.
etc. and the land owners are
coming in too.

ured through any dealer in seeds,
II you are a grain farmer, the
commercial nitrogen fertilizers
are far too expensive for you to
use. You have recourse ITO a
cheaper supply. In the air over
your fields is an inexaustible
supply of nitrogen; as long as it
remains there it is of no use aa
food to your growing crop. In
your soil are countless numbers
of willing workers (bacteria),
capable if, given proper cond1t-
ions 20 work under, of taking
from the air portion of this in
ert nitrogen and OF manufacture
ing from it compounds of the
greatest value to growing crops.
they associate themselves only
with the group of plants we call
legumes. Attaching themselves
to the roots of these plants they
worklndustrIously if given suffic-
lent amounts of moisture and air.
Hence, if your soil, from last
seasons experience, appears to
be in a low state Of fertility. fr,+s
OF all open it up thoroughly &
