all, and unequalled by the potato of
any other section in the United States,
and probably in the world. The south
eastern part is the principal potato
growing section of the state, and has
made the Idaho 'spud' famous. The
yields are about 400 bushels per acre.
The Italian prune is favored over
other varieties and predominates. 1t
is grown commercially to a very
large extent and profitably. The acre
age is rapidly increasing as this fruit
has been found we'll adapted to Idaho
conditions.
There are all manner of lands in
the state available to the settler and
purchaser. The government has many
thousand acres available under the
general homestead law and many more
under the enlarged homestead law.
The lands are situated in all parts of
the state and information concerning
their exact location can be secured
from the United States land offices. 1t
requires no capital to secure these
lands and the government is glad to
give them to bona fide settlers who
are interested enough to look up the
lands and conform to the conditions
of the land acts under which they are
taken up. The general homestead
laws allows each settler to take UP
$50 acres of land and the enlarged
homestead law, 500 acres. Omaha
