Public School Closes Today.

The public school closes today
and the final exercises will be
held this evening at the hall
when a fine program will be
rendered by the students, at the
close of which the diplomas will
be presented by Prof. Cobbs to
the eighth grade students and to
the members of the high school
graduating class. The term just
ended has been a highly salts
factory one and while only four
students of the high school de-
partment will graduate this year
all of the students of the school
have made excellent progress in
their studies and are deserving
of praise for their excellent work.
The exercises this evening are
public and will doubtless be at
tended by all who can arrange
to be present.

High School Class Antics.

The Cottonwood high school
Is assuming real college airs
nowadays and the students are
lndulglng in class rows, flag
raising and cutting down, and
various other forms of class
ructlons. Next thing to expect
may be a cane rush or a class
pugilistic affair. The matter
started the first of the week
when members of the senior
class painted the numerals (191D
on the belfry of the school build
ing. Not to be outdone the
s'phomores took time by the
forelock last night and foated
their class colors from the top of
the school flag pole. On seeing
the flag up this morning the SEN
lors, assisted by some from the
lower grades, cut the rope and
brought down the flag. This
later precipitated a row between
members of the two classes and
considerable feeling was engend-
e"ed. 1t is possible further de-
velopments will occur tonight as
each class is determined not to
be outdone by the other. At
present the flag pole is unadorn-
el with class colors of either
kind. -------- --.. :

CROP SHOULD Be
RECORD BREAKER
Acreage Fully One-Third Larger
Than in Previous Years and
Copious Rains Should Insure
Mammoth Yields.

The bounteous rains that have
visited the Camas Paairie coun.
try within the past few weeks
have brought bright smiles oil
anticipation to the faces of farm.
ers and practically insure the
production of the largest grain
crop that has ever been grown
in Idaho county or the Inland
Empire.
Owing to the early harvest
last year and the rains which
closely followed it the farmers
were able to plow and seed a
much larger acreage of fall grain
than ever before and tits safe to
say that the acreage of fall sown
grain in this county, and perhaps
in central Idaho, is fully a third
larger than in any former year.
This fall grain, and also the grain
sown this spring, is now looking
exceptionally fine and the recent
rains will bring it on to- maturity
in excellent shape. The ground
is now filled with moisture and,
with one or two good showers in
June and cool weather during
the first week or two of July,
nothing can prevent this years
harvest from being a record
breaker in both yield and quality.
Under these conditions the old
joke of having to hire ground on
which to stack the grain will
come near to being realized.
Thus far the conditions are
ideal for la1ner crop and if the
weather man only gives us any
thing near a square deal our
farmers will be rolling in wealth
this fall, men will have to be i'm
ported to help save the grain,
and all lines of business will
take on new life with a bound.
Great is Idaho, and especially
great is Camas Prairie the BAN
ner wheat crop of the world!

HARRY TEFFT
A SUICIDE
Killed Himself With a SHOTGUN
After Leaving a Note Telling of
Ills intentions---Body Brought
Here for Burial.

The body of Harry Teft, the
young man who was found deac
across Salmon river late last
week, was brought to this place
late Saturday evening by rela-
yves and was inferred in the
local cemetery on Sunday after
noon, the funeral being held
from the Christian church and
the sermon preached by Rev.
Doak.
Owing to the meager reports
which were sent here to the fam
lily OF the deceased it was at first
suspected that the boy had been
accidentally shot or had lost his
life IN a gun quarrel but later
reports dispelled this error and
gave the true facts, which were
that death was due to suicide.
1t seems the deceased had been
unfortunate in the bestowal of
his affections and after brooding
over the affair for some time,
went to the home of the object
OF his affection where he left a
note stating his intentions and
after going a short distance from
the house took his life by shoot
ing himself in the left breast
with a shot gun. The shot en-
tered above the heart and caused
almost instant death, the body
and the clothing being badly
powder burned. This occurred
on Joseph plains about mile
and a half from the Mahoney
farm, and not near that place, as
was at first reported.
After the body was found rel
atives of the deceased were noti-
fed and the remains were then
brought to this place for inter-
ment, the people of that section
assisting in every way possible
to get the body out to where it
could be conveyed by vehicle.
The deceased was about 20
years of age and was native of
this county, having been born
near Keuterville. He had spent
all of his life in this vicinity and
in the Salmon river country. He
leaves a father, mother, brother
and three sisters to mourn his
death, all of whom are at a loss
to account for his sudden suicidal
decision as he had made plans
just prior to his death which led
them to believe that he meant to
file on a homestead and settle
across the river shortly after
harvest.

Pasture For Hogs.

Dean w. l.. Carlyle, of the
Idaho Agricultural College and
Experiment Station, gives the
following important pointers to
the farmers of the Palouse re-
garding the raising of hogs. Mr..
Carlyle is considered one of the
best posted men in his line in the
lntermountain west, and the
News will publish letters from
him, from time to time, which
will be of interest as we'll as of
value to our farmers. Following
is his first one on hogs:
Many of the farmers of Ida
no and the intermountain region
are making serious mistake in
attempting to raise hogs on pas
ture alone. Alfalfa for pasture
is one of the cheapest and best
feeds for brood sows and young
pigs. Because this is true is no
reason why no other feed should
be given to supplement the alfal-
ia. A hogs digestive system is
not adapted for the digestion
and assimilation of the crude
cellulor tissue of plants to any
great extent at least and fair
proportion of this feed should
always consist of some form of
concentrated grain food. My ex-
perience also leads me to believe
that there is nothing that will
excel small field of dwarf Essex
rape as an adjunct to the alfalfa
pasture for swine. 1t is especial
ly important that some of this
should be provided where a good
alfalfa pasture is not available.
Ii rape is sown early on rich well
prepared ground and in drills
thirty inches apart using about
five pounds of seed per acre it
will in the course of six weeks
from planting provide a surpris-.
ing amount of the most nutritious
food for the brood sows and
young pigs. A small hand gar
den drill is the best implement to
seed with. An acre of this should
supply a sufficient amount of
green feed for six to eight brood
scws and their litters during the
summer, especially where there
is some water for irrigation. The
tract planted should be divided
into two parts with a fence SO
that when one part is eaten off
the pigs may be turned into the
other part when the first one to
be eaten will Immediately grow
again especially if cultivated be-
tween the rows and irrigated.
An acre of rape handled in this
way is equivalent to a ton and
quarter of ground corn for pork
production. w. L. CARLYLE,
Director Experiment Station.
