commonly takes 500 bushels from an
acre, his yield per acre thus being, at
AZ cents per bushel, $40.
Someone who knows the conditions
in and TIE possibilities of Idaho has
said that sit is maxim in southern
Idaho that the new settler, with little
or no capital or implements. but with
a willingness to work, can plant pota-
toes on his irrigated farm the first
year and make good living for his
family, besides laying aside money to
make all necessary payments on his
land"
William B. Kelley, who owns .
ranch near Gooding. says: 1--WE get
so many potatoes to the acre that We
don't stop to count the sacks"
Samuel Lewis, also living near Good
ing, reports as follows: Potatoes

cropDruns 500 to 600 bushels to the

The price received by Mr.. Snyder
for his prize-winning potatoes does
not by any means represent the top"
of the Idaho market. Much higher
prices have been commanded at vari-
GUS times, yet at the Accent rate re-
ceived by Mr.. Snyder his profits were
very large.
Scores of instances may be cited to
show what the lands of Idaho hold in
store for those who will put forth the
effort that must precede success.
Those who have succeeded in this
one task of potato raising, trace their
accomplishments to industry, OF
course, and to a study of conditions
and needs. But they could not have
reaped such harvests II industry and
determination had not been fortified
by ideal conditions Of climate and soil
Such conditions prevail in the agri-
cultural districts of Idaho. There the
ground is rich and eager. There the
climate Is conducive to the outdoor
task. There the scheme of irrigation
has been so well prepared and is SO
unfailing in its supply that growing
crops have water when they need It.
