A New Business
Combination.

Vim. T. Jack and John l.. Smith,
two of our leading business men,
have just associated themselves
together in close business relat-
ions looking to the development
OF this part of Cassia Co. 1t is
the intention of this new firm to
engage actively in the business of
Real Estate, Fire and Accident
Insurance, Placing of Loans,
Collection of Rents and Interests
and the General Agency business.
1t is estimated that the gentle
men named will gradually work
into the legal business, as both
OF them have been students OF
our statutes for years.
Oakley will be the principal
place of business, but the firm
will become active competitors
for business in Burley and will
make the handling of farm lands
in the Country districts a spec
ialty. Arrangements are being
made to plat into snug residence
lots the lot occupied by DR..
Thomas K. Woodwork and other
pieces OF real estate owned by the
parties themselves, and they will
be prepared to handle other pro-
perties In the near future. The
Herald bespeaks for this New
Combination a brilliant and sue
cessful business future.

More Water
Facts.
Don H. BARK REPORTS
EXPERIMENTS.

Some lineage this paper called
attention to reports made by Mr..
Bark about the different growths
of grain partly produced at that
time with certain amounts OF
water used and promised more
definite information as to hnal
results.
Mr.. Bark is a Government Tx
pert and has kept close tab on
his work. At Goodlng he took
seven fields of"Little Club'wheat
to try his processes. On one held
he gave no water at all, Dry
farmed. according to sclentihc
methods and raised 1,O63 lbs.
wheat and i ,449 lbs. straw per
acre. He increased the amount
of water till the maximum yield
per acre was 1888 lbs. wheat
and 2,111 lbs. straw which yield
was produced with Las feet per
season.
The amount of water was IN
creaS Sed to 2.S feet with the re-
suit that the yield was less than
that on the dry-tarm with no
water.
With Las feet of water used
the straw grew AZ III. while dry
farm grew but 81 in. showing
that the best results were obtain
ed at l AS feet and that there is
limit to the use of water If the
best crops are desired.
From the figures and what has
been done heretofore it seems that
this Valley providentially got
what was best for them if such
experiments hold good on this
project and there seems no good
reason why it won't as this Vail
ey receives more rainfall and has
better soil than any other place
in Southern Idaho.
If farmers will seek and follow
the best known course in handling
their lands, there is little doubt
OF getting yields in class A J..

Mormon Choir
Making Good
Record.
VISITS MANY LARGE CITIES AND

That the 200 voices OF the
Great Tabernacle Choir of Salt
Lake City is doing good work is
clearly manifested by the well
filled houses they are meeting and
the most favorable sentiments
expressed by critics of reputable
standing.
This Chorus as they are called
have already visited Omaha,
Chicago. Syracuse and a number
of large Eastern Cities and are
today scheduled to open their
engagement at the great Amer
ican Land and Exposition Show

to sing daily for this Congress
which convenes in that city tor
the next ten davs.
They will sing the famous irrig-
alton ode every dav at the expos
ition as we'll as many other choice
selections.
This notable Chorus of Singers
is awakening no small amount
of interest in their travels which
will result in much good to both
Utah and the Mormon Church
and will allay much prejudice
heretofore existing in the world.
This most excellent body OF
Singers, under the direction OF
Prof. Edw. Stevens and organist
j. ]. Mcclellan are worthy o1
much praise for the good they
are doing and the high standing
to which they have attained.
They have a number OF engage.

Halloween
Passes Quietly.
FRANKS NOT so NUMEROUS
AS USUAL.

That the Halloween idea OF
turning things wrong side up and
removing them far from their
proper place is fading away some
what or else is taking a short
sleep was evidenced by the little
amount of mischief done on
Tuesday last.
There were a few who did some
tricks. but as a rule the fit"
does mt seem SO bad as it used to
be. 1t may be that the increased
police force is having some check
on the GHOSTS" SO that they are
seeking more distant fields but 1t
is hoped that it is the good be-
havior and common sense that
the boys and girls are possessed
of. that accounts for the change,
this year any way.
1t is note worthy to learn that
enough moderation is used so
that destruction of property and
danger to lite Is done away with
any how.

seed should not be cut too long
before planting. Sizes ofcuttings
of course vary but if they are
made from / to / 1-2 ounces,
with either one or two eyes, they
will prove successful. This fact
will be more striking and the
benefits of keeping the cuttings a
uniform size will be more quickly
noted when rigid seed selection
is practised.
Treatment of Seed-Seed pota-
toes before being planted should
be treated with solution of
formalin, made up in the follow
ing proportions. I pint OF 40
per cent of formalin to 80 gallons
of water). AS soon as treated
the seed should be planted. For
malin prevents scab in most in
stances.
Planting.-The amount of seed
to plant per acre should vary
with the soil conditions, size Of
seed, number of eyes to the seed,
and somewhat to the variety
being planted. Ifplanted on dry
land the available moisture will
determine to a great extent the
the amount of seed to plant per
acre. On reasonably moist soil
about 10 bushels per acre is
ample. This can be increased on
irrigated land to a maximum of
about 10 bushels per acre. This
is at a rate of two eyes to the
cutting and about / to / 1-2
cuttings. With the larger variet-
les and where large potatoes are
desired, less seed should should
be planted to the acre than with
somewhat smaller varieties,
where a medium sized potato is
desired. OF course the distance
apart the seed are plan ted will
vary the number of seed per acre.
The distances apart toplant vary
from 9 to Is inches. Most grcw-'
ers prefer to plant them about 10
to ~ inches.
The depth of planting varies
from 3 to 5 inches, and this IN |
great measure depends upon
whether early or late varieties
are desired. Early varieties are
planted at the former depth and |
the late varieties are planted at |
the latter depth. Where early |
potatoes are especially desired, |
should be done as soon
as the soil swarm enough to |
sprout the seed. For the later
varieties or where late potatoes
are specially desired, the planting |
,an be done during May and |
early June. The main object to |
De kept in mind is that they |
should have enough time to
mature. Most of the varieties
especially the later varieties. re-
lulre from 75t 90days to reach
maturity.

Chicago, Oct. 3Oth.-Presiden.
Taft today issued his annual
Thanksgiving proclamation, call
ing on citizens of the United
States to celebrate Thursday i,
the 3Oth November next, as dav
OF thanksgiving and prayer. The
proclamation reads as follows:
"The people of this land having
by long sanction and practice set
apart toward the close of each
passing year day on which to
cease from their labors and ass
emble tor the purpose of giving
praise to him who is the author
ofthe blessings they haveenjoyed,
it is my duty as chief executive
to designate this as the day for
the fulfllment of this devout
purpose.
"Our country has been signally
favored IN many ways. The
round of the seasons has brought
rich harvests. Our industries
have thriven far beyond our do
mestic needs. the products of our
labor are daily finding enlarged
markets abroad. We have been
free from the curses of pestilence,
of famine and of war. Our nat
ional councils have furthered the
cause of peace in other lands, and
the spirit of benevolence has
brought us into closer touch with
other peoples, TO the strengthen
ing ofthe bonds offellowship and
good will that link us to our
comrades in the universal broth
erhOod of nations. Strong in
the sense OF our own right and
inspired by as strong sense of
the rights of others, we live in
peace and harmony with the
world. Rich in the priceless pos
session and abundant resources.
wherewith the unstinted bounty
of God has endowed us, we are
unselhshly glad when other peo-
pies pass onward to prosperity
and peace. That the great priv
iieges we enjoy may continue and
that each coming year may see
our country more firmly estab-
lished in the regard and esteem of
our fellow nations, is the PRAYER
that should arise in every thank
ful heart.
Wherefore l, William Howard
Taft, president of the United |
States OF America, designate
Thursday, the 3Oth November
next, as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer, and | earnestly call
on my countrymen and on all
that dwell under the flag of our
beloved country, then to meet in
their accustomed places of wor-
ship to join in offering praise to
Almighty God and devout thanks
or the loving mercies he has
given us.
In witness thereof, | have

soil or to sweeten it up, as is often
times remarked. good idea of the
finess of the soil particles Is also
essential. This work must be done
by your Experiment Station chemist.
While chemical analysis of the soil
are of great value, and it is necessary
that such work be done, unfortunately
the facts revealed through the use of
strong acids on the soils merely show
the absence. or presence and the PRO-
portions in which various substances
occur in the soils In other words,
while chemical analysis shows the
total composition of soil, it does
not show us how much OF the phosc-
phoric acid, potash and other elements
are available for plant use. The only
way to determine the value of soil
for growing a certain crop is to grow
the crop and observe the results.
Enough is known concerning certain
plants and certain types of soil to
anticipate the results obtained in
growing certain plants or groups of
plants on certain type of soil. Such
information can be had from our Elk
pertinent Station bulletins and from
the publications Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, all of
which may be had upon application
to the parties in charge of the dis
tribution of such publications
Every farmer should know the
following facts concerning the soil.

depth of each type of soil, the char
acter of the sub soil, drainage con-

Because oleomargarine is colored like butter and

good as butter
The makers CLAIM it is.
You KNOW it is not.
You know that it is inferior article, that it is
sold by misrepresentation, and YOU wouldn't touch
it with a ten foot pole.
Now similar conditions prevail in the separator
business.
The DE LAVAL is everywhere recognized by
creamerymen, prominent dairymen and buttermakers
90 per cent of the worlds creamerymen use the DE
LAVAL to the exclusion of every other make. That
looks like pretty conclusive evidence that the men
who make the separation of cream and the making OF
butter A BUSINESS, the who know, are not in
any doubt as to which is the best cream separator
The makers of inferior separators acknowledge
that the DE LAVAL is best when they say to you
"Our separator looks like the DE LAVAL or it's
just as good the DE LAVAL, but we will sell 1T
to you for little less money!
Why do they offer to sell their machines cheaper!
For the very same reason that the makers OF oleo-
