GOOD CROPS
How to Build up heterogeneous
Element in Idaho Soils

1t is a recognized fact that the soils
of Southern Idaho. like most soils of
the arid regions, are deficient in nitro
gen and humus AS rule farmers al
so recognize the great value of a
leguminous crop in supplying this def
cheney. The question often arises,
however, as to which of the more i'm
portant leguminous crop will give the
best results under certain conditions
Because of greater permanency and
deeper roofing, alfalfa and clovers are
preferred where longer rotation can
be practiced; but in cases where new
lands are to be brought quickly into
better conditions for growing potatoes
etc, or for use as a cover crop for or
chards, we believe that the vetch will
be found to be a very valuable crop.
At the Gooding experiment station
this season a plot was sown on May 9th
to vetch and oats at the rate of so
pounds of vetch and four pecks of oats
per acre. This plat received three
average irrigations and was clipped on
the 29th day of July, yielding at the

Pagaria Section Foreman Claims

TO THE PHILIPPINES
w. l.. GortOn Goes as Chief of
Island Irrigation Work

W. L. Gorton left Thursday night
for San Francisco. from where he will
sail on the 18th to Manila, to become
chief engineer of the irrigation bureau
of the Philippines.
Mr.. Gorton was connected with the
reclamation bureau in the United
States, before coming to the Idaho r.
rigation Co., two years ago, and estab-
Iished an enviable reputation. His
work here has been more than sue
cessful and the good water service Civ
en- the settlers here, and the excellent
feeling between the settlers here, and
the company is due in large measure
to his management of the water.
A host # friends here will regret to
see him go, while rejoicing in his Of
fetal preferment. There are about
twenty thousand engineers in the
United States who would nave re-
joiced to be chosen as he was.
The Recorder expects to have some
letters from Mr.. Gorton, telling some
thing of the irrigation work in his new
field in the tropics.

Mystery yandRobbery
Robbery, Mysterious Shooting, Get
Always, Arrests and Guesses.

Last week the Recorder published ar
article under. the caption, Accident
Tally Shoots Himself but since the
article was published many things in
come ction with the shooting have hap
pened.
The story as published in the Re
corder, was given to US by Fred
Murray, who claimed to be brother
in-law of Harry Burton, the man who
was shot. and he gave US the story as
it appeared in the paper
Last Saturday a trained nurse ar
rived to take care of Barton, and Muir
ray gave out that he was going to
Boise to get more money to take care
of his brother-in-law. The train that
Murray left here on, brought in a
postoffice Inspector, who had picture
of Murray, and also one of the man
Burton, who was shot, and on arriving
here he soon found, that Murray had
been here but had left on the train,
who was supposed to stay here and
help take care of the injured man.
The officers at Shoshone were
notified to be on the watch for them,
and as the train pulled into the yards
there, Murray and Burke jumped off
the passenger and made run for
box car, but were taken by the officers.
1t is thought that all three men were
implicated in the Picabo holdup, and
on being searched more than $3.50 was
found on Murray's person and it is
known that ten days ago he did not

3 3 More Candidates
Northern Aspirants TO-. Republican
Nomination for Governor.

The preliminary entry list in the race
for the Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation is growing rapidly, and is begin
ming to arouse considerable interest in
political circles. The last few days
have brought out the names of three
more of Idaho's citizens who are sug-
gested as possibilities, two of them
hailing from the north and one from
the south.
George C. Crum, Lewiston business
man, and Byron S. Defenbach of Sand
point. are the new entries from the
north, General George H. Roberts
from the south None of these men
has absolutely expressed himself as a
candidate, but their names have been
passed around and in connection with
this agitation are several interesting
circumstances.
Mr.. Crum is charged by some with
having bolted the Republican fold and
supported Governor Hawley during the
last campaign, and it is intimated that
if he might enter the race he would
have the Brady forces arrayed against
him.
AT the time of the last Republican
love feast held in Boise it was under
stood that Mr. Defenbach was re-
ceptiye candidate for secretary of the
state Mr. Defenbach is well known
throughout the state. He was at one
time the Republican county chairman
for Bonner county, and is at present
the assessor for that county.
Several of the northern papers have /
been giving him considerable promi- I
nence of late as possible candidate
It is not stated that he has announced +
himself as a candidate, but the Bonner
county papers report that pressure is

have dollar
How Burton came to be shot is a
mystery, but a number of rumors are
afloat, one that after the robbery of
the Postoffice and store at Picabo, the
three men had fallen out among them
selves over the division of the spoils,
and Burton was shot and left for dead.
another is that the bunch might have
been arranging to blow up something,
and that while putting a cap on some
fuse with his teeth, the cap exploded
and injured Burton.
Another mystery is, what became of
Mike Casey and Joe Balathsy, who
Murray claimed were left with the in
jured man, or was there any such
men.
Be that as it may, it is known for
fact, that Murray did go to the Taper
ranch and secured Mr.. Taper and
team, and drove the entire day
through the lavas, presumably hunting
for Burton, who he claimed had ac-
cidentally shot himself while out hunt
ing.
There has not as yet been any real
evidence against the men, as to the
robbery but every move they have
made is a suspicious one, and Burton is
still in the hotel at this place, Murray
is in Jail at Haley and Burke is in jail
at Shoshone.
The two strangers, who with Mr.
Hayward brought Burton to this city,
are also in jail at Shoshone, but so far
are held only as witnesses.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1911-11-30

being brought to bear on him in an ef-
fort to induce HIM to enter the race.
Should the report that Mr.. Crum and
Mr.. Defenbach are to enter the race
be confirmed, it would mean the ad-
dition of two more to the list of three
northern men already suggested, max
ing in all five northern candidates in
the field. There might have been six
had not Judge Robert n Dunn an
nounced that he would not be a eandi-
date.
In connection with these facts it is
interesting to note that several strong
men in the southern part of the state
have already been suggested as
candidates, and that they are said to
be now waiting developments in the
north before they will make their de-
cision known whether or not to get in
to the game
At the last love feast the impression
was circulated that a northern man
was to be the Republican nominee,
subject to the result of the primaries,
and it was thought then that the north
would unite in some strong candidate
from that section as against any and
all comers from the south
Men prominent in politics look with
interest on the development of fresh
candidates in the north and wonder
or not the northerners will be
able to get together on any one of
them. The general impression seems
to be that if the sentiment in the
north seems to be divided on several
the men in this part of the
state may come forward, but that
should the north unite behind one man
that would serve to prevent many of
The southern candidates from entering
-he race.

rate of 1927 lbs of cured hay per acre.
By the 1st of October the second
growth of vetch averaged 18 in. in
height. Thus piece of new soil was
made to produce a fair amount of good
forage and also to furnish a consider
able amount of green manure in one
season.
On May 9th plat of raw sagebrush
soil was sown to hairy vetch. This
was not cut for forage and on the 18th
day of September plants rs inches long
were taken from the heavy matted
growth.
The roots of the vetch on both of
these plats were abundantly supplied
with nodules containing the nitrogen
fixing bacteria. The growing and
blowing under of such amounts of or
ganic matter cannot fail to have a very
beneficial effect on the lands deficient
in nitrogen and humus.
When such results as these can be
secured in one season, we do not hest
tate in saying that this crop fully
merits further consideration by the
many farmers of the state who are
trying to bring their new lands into
greater productivity.

Chicago, Nov 26th. The United
States Land and Irrigated Exposition
being held at the Coliseum is proving
the mot successful and far-reaching
land show yet arranged in Il is country.
Over so, 600 people were in attendance
during the first week of the show,
these being principally from limo
Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan and
other middle western statef, an it is
assured that The states traversed by
the Oregon Short Line will secure
many hundreds Of new settlers as a re-
suit of this attendance. 1t is safe to
estimate that the show will record an
attendance of over 2O0,c up to its
close on December 9th.
The exhibits that are attracting more
attention probably than others ate
those of the Union Pacific Oregon
Short Line and related lines in which
the fruits, grains, potatoes and other
products are strongly featured and at
tractively displayed Friday, Novemb-
er 24th., was Idaho Day at the
show, and many hundreds of bushels Of
Idaho potatoes were given away TO
those in attendance.
In addition to its great feature ex-
hDits, the Union Pacific Oregon Short
Line system is conducting two lecture
stages, where daily lectures are given,
illustrated with effective moving pict-
ures and stereopticon views.
The related lines expenditure at this
show will run way UP in the thousands
of dollars, but the management feels
that the money viii be well spent
when 1t is realized what great benefits
the intermountain states viii derive
from it.

Western Project Engineers Dis
cuss Big Things at Boise
That irrigation and the operation and
management of irrigation systems has
reached a stage in its development
which demands the employment of
sound business methods and careful
consideration of the scientific and
economic principles involved, was
forcefully demonstrated at the confer
ence of engineers and operating men
held in Boise last week. Representa-
tives from all the principal Govefp-
ment, Carey Act and private irrigation
projects in Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington, met and discussed matters of
interest to those in charge of mainte-
nance and operations.
The Supervising Engineer Wey-
mouth of the Reclamation Service and
the engineers on the Boise Project, is
due the credit for the enitiative in ar
ranging the conference. Those who
attended we're enthusiastic in their
endorsement of the idea and unanimous
in their testimony as to the benefit
which they received. The only regret
was that the three days allotted was too
short to permit the fullest discussion
of the many questions in which the
trouble men" of the projects were in
terested.
The topics discussed ranged from
those of mere detail in the distribution
of water, to the more comprehensive
principles involved in the conservation
of the public water, economical T
methods of irrigation, the quantities Of
water required for various crops, and 7
