/ vert to the scheme, and has planted
thousands of trees with dynamite. with
surprising results. Illustrations have
been received here showing how the
use of dynamite permits the roots OF
fruit trees to take their natural down
ward course into the lower stratas OF
soil in which plenty of plant food ele-
ments are available; and the develop
ment of the trees planted with
dynamite, and without, in the same
orchards demonstrate more than any
thing else the success of the dynamite.
Cornell University is authority Tor
the statement that trees properly
planted can absorb 60 per cent of the
moisture surrounding them, and where
the underlying soil lis especially pre-
pared for this purpose it is not strange
that photographs prove that trees set
out in land prepared dy dynamite look
fully 100 per cent more healthy, ana
are much more productive in three or
four years, than the trees set out IN
plots where cramped roots prevent
healthy growth. In the wooded sect
ions of the country the settlers discov-
cred for themselves many years ago
that few sticks of dynamite could
beat all the patent stump puilers in the
universe.
The agricultural Department was the
last to be convinced, but Mr.. Wilson
bureau has finally acknowledged that
there is no question about this just
as they are going to wake up to the
more wonderful discovery of the prac-
ticability of farming with dynamite
when there is no longer any question
about it. Now that Congress is about
to reassemble it has been suggested
that the passage of the Simmons agri-
cultural experiment bill of the sixty
first Congress would result in the TAX
ing up af such matters as farming with
dynamite in a practical manner that
would advance the agricultural inter-
ests of the country to great degree.

Apple Trees That Wouldn't Die
Unusual Record Made By Hardy Apple Trees in Rich
field Orchard---How Blood Will Tell.

fields produce from $4,000, 900 to 800,
000,0 more every year than they had
previously done, by introducing better
methods of seed corn selection. It's
the pedigreed trotter, with generations
of trotters back of it, that makes the
records; and it's the pedigreed COW,
with generations of good stock back in
the past, that gets all the world s
records in milk and butter tests. Pedi-
greed apple trees may be rather newer
but the first men to go in for them
are the ones sure to reap the first har-
vest. Apples true to type, uniform in
size and color, and all of the best
qualicy, are the ideal for the high
priced buyer; and there never have
been one-half enoughsof them to fill
the market
Mr.. Breck emphasizes the point so
often made by the Recorder, thatit will
ne necessary for the people of this sec
ton to get together and plan for uni
formity of product if they ever expect
to get the top market prices for their
products. The apples named are gener-
ally regarded as the very best for gen
eral orchard purposes in this locality.
There are perhaps others that will do
we'll. but when the above are recogniz-
ed as the best staples, any one who
plants a miscellaneous assortment takes
a considerable risk of losing profits. To
ship any Of these varieties is to be able
to get much better price for every
box than to ship them in mixed lots.
Some times and places, it is impossible
to sell mixed lots at any price. If the
Richfield tract could have 1000 acres of
these standard varieties, with only oc-
casional trees of other kinds fer strict
y y local CT home use, the crop would be
worth Is per cent more than to mix

Meeting held at the Office of the Ida
no Irrigation Co. on the evening of
Monday, December 4th., for the pur-
pose of initiating preparations for the
reception and entertainment of Mr. S.
Claus, who expects to visit Richfield
soon.
Present; Mrs. Pratt, Mrs. Rorabeck,
Mrs. Williams, Mrs Mcconnell, Mrs
Bower, Mrs. Mcmahon. Mrs. Garlock,
Rev. Pratt, Messrs. Lisle and Essley.
Meeting called to order by Mr.. Lisle,
temporary chairman. Upon motion of
Rev. Pratt, duly seconded by Mrs.
Mcconnell, Mr. Lisle was appointed
chairman of the Christmas committee.
After general discussion it was de-
cided that all children of Richfield and
the Richfeld Tract between the ages
of one month and ninety years be in
vited to assist in entertaining Mr..
Claus. Those present decided that
probably one hundred and fifty children
would require special inducement in the
way of candy and nuts to be provided.
General discussion regarding place of
holding. Decision held over for future
meeting.
The following committees were then
appointed by the chairman.
Entertainment-Mrs. Denecke, Miss
Little and Miss Brown.
Music-Mrs. Diesem, Miss Little and
Mrs. Garlock.

Dynamiters Confess
Mcnamara Brothers Blew Up Times
Building and Iron Works---Big
Labor Leaders Implicated

Gompers, head of the American Feder-
alton, at least knew of the guilt of the
accused, though probably not of the
career of crimes before they were car
ried out. Other prominent labor lead
ers are said to be under suspicion, if
actually under investigation, for
their alleged knowledge of the guilt of
the accused. Most of the reputable
labor leaders actually believed the men
to be innocent victims of hugh cap
italistic plot, and supported them to
the very last. To have it proven that
they were guilty, and at least some of
the union leaders have known all the
time that they were guilty, is ter
ribly demoralizing blow to union labor.
1t is likely to lead to the reorganization
of a number of unions.
The similarity of the case to the Ida
no cases of few years ago, is so close
as to be the strongest kind of collateral
proof that the popular verdict in Idaho
was correct. President Meyer, of the
Western Federation of Miners, in an
interview has said that that the man
should not have confessed; by impli-
cation saying that they should have
addedsthe crime of false witness to
their other crimes. in order to shield
organized labor This attitude is not
taken by the better class of labor, who
believe that if the men are guilty,
they should hang not only for the
statutory crimes, but for taking such
me thods to degrade organized labor
and to make the whole organization
criminal
Clarence Darrow. attorney for the
defense, after going over the case and
trying every way possible to find a
loophole for his clients, advised their
confession, saying that the state, had
the goods on them and they could not
escape"
The case is different from the Idaho
cases a few years ago, in that it is the
and not the subordinates,
who are on trial. and who actually did
the work. John j. Mcnamara was
secretary of the International Associ
alton of bridge and structural Iron
Workers. and is said to have been al
owed $1,000 month expenses; presum-
ably, as 1t is believed can be proven,
FOR the purpose of carrying on the |
.eign Of terror that, in score of ex-
blossoms charged to the organization,
las cost the lives of more than 100
people.

IDAHO LANDS

Out of the 81, 900, 900 acres contained
within the boundaries of Idaho, 20, OOO'-
900 are timber lands, 5000, 900 pasture,
8, 200, 900 mineral, and 2l, 900, 900 acres
are arabic. This great area of arabic
land is almost equally divided between
the dry farming sections and the r.
rigable lands, and will eventually be
still further augmented by a consider
able portion of the timber lands OF the
Panhandle which will drift, acre by
acre, into the hands of farmers.

them all up.
1t is believed that large acreage of
orchard will be put out here next year.
1t will be worth any ones while to con-
slider getting only the best; for it's too
bad to waste four OIL five years culti-
waiting an orchard, only to find when it
begins to bear at the end of that time
that the stock wasn't good, and that
the orchard is a failure. Two or three
dollars extra in the price of trees the
first year might make about five years
difference in securing real orchard.

What proportion of apple trees set
out in any one year, might the average
grower expect to live through and
promise to come to the bearing stage?
The care given the trees, the quality
of the trees themselves, and the
climate, have something to do with the
percentage of trees that will live.
But under the most favorable con-
ditions, it would be hard for anyone to
equal the record made by w. M
Breck, three miles northwest of Rich
field, the past season.
Mr.. Breck bought 100 trees from
Prof. Littooy, the consulting horticut-
urist of Mountain Home, last spring.
Rome Beauty, Stayman Winesap, and
Delicious varieties, were especially
grown for Prof Littooy who selected
all the scions from hardy, true-to-type
ing capacity as we'll as hardness and
strength. Out of the 100 trees, the
ants killed two, gopher killed one,
and only one tree died died from any
ether reason whatever-a total loss of
only about one-third of one per cent
If any one can show up better
record for so large an orchard, the Re-
corder will hail him king Of all the
orchardists.
But it is not alone in the percentage
of live trees at the end of the first sea-
son, that the Breck orchard promises
to make a record. With selected trees,
pedigreed trees with history back of
them, instead of being merely SO many
trees" that will plant so many to the
acre, he is almost certain to have a
producing orchard of rare capacity.

why the decision has caused no furry

The country is left without any
