We, the farmers OF Jonathan Valley.

One Of Jim Kersey's new corrugators
was used on the Ridge ranch by Mr..
Gray, and he says the machine is Just
what the farmers have been looking for,
for years. Mr.. Gray is going to run the
machine through his alfalfa stubble just as
soon as he cuts his hay, and if this cor
rugator will do satisfactory work in the
alfalfa stubble it will be o. k.

the Coppdale Construction Co., has ar

Last week fine big organ arrived at
the Coppdale school house, the congre-
CATION is getting so large that it required
an organ. But, this isn't all you can
Use an organ for. You can dance fine

try the organ.
The Jonathan Valley farmers held
their regular meeting last Tuesday night
and good crowd attended the meeting.
Mr.. Beebe, well known stockman from
Portland, addressed the meeting and
from now on the farmers OF the Valley
are fixing to get good stock of all kinds.
The Towle Land Co. is going into the
sheep business and the Ridge Ranch
into the hog business, at any rate Gray
traded Towle sheep for hogs, so that
each will have little variety OF meats
next fall
What do you think OF Osgood the 2nd?
l guess he didn't slip one over on lis
when he slipped over to Twin Falls and
got married, hey Well, from now on
keep your eyes open and watch Little
Joe, Geo. and Guy. We won't let them
get away so easy.
Some time ago some one from Jonathan
Valley reported the alfalfa in the Valley
as being knee high. 1t is now over your
head. Can any body beat this?
On June 9th, everybody interested in
Jonathan Valley are requested to be
present at the Jonathan Valley Farmers
Associations regular meeting. The OBJ
ject OF this meeting is to see if We can
find some way to dispose OF the weed
crops on the Spectator ranches which
join us and ON the canal banks of the
Company's bitches and canals in the
Valley. We all know that these weeds
are bother to everyone and if we let
them go to seed another year, we will
have our hands full trying to check
them. There are times OF the year when
it is very nearly impossible to walk on
the Company's canal banks on account
of the weeds being so thick and these
weeds 60 to seed and blow into the water
and We all get the full benefit OF them.
There is another important point to be
brought up at this meeting and that is
whether. or not we want this new road
law to go into effect. Arrangements are
being made to have well posted person
explain the good of the law so that JON
athan Valley will vote a solid eyes"
and the farmers then can at least have
good roads to haul their loads over.
Truly yours,
WILLIE LIVE.
