To Eradicate Weeds

No matter how few cattle n farmer
keeps, he knows the value and nee
essity of salt in their stomachs.
The average farmer throws it in
Jumps in certain places recognized
by the cattle as artificial saltlicks or
keeps a trough full of it in a con-
venient location.
Conservation, however, has
brought about new improvements,
labor-saving devices of great value
in this respect. On every farm
there is n bad-wecd patch, Il thicket
of hazel bushes or some hardy non
productive growth that chokes out
good grass pasturage. To reclaim
these patches might take many days
from regular farm work-and then
the shoots would doubtless spring up
again. So several farmers have hit
on the scheme of destroying these
waste patches at no expense and nj
the same time sailing their cattl,
in a more natural. beneficial way
than by giving them the straight
arr icle i'm humps.
Just after n rain, while the leaves
of the bushes or weeds to be des
troycd are still wet, man Is sem
out with Il big sack of salt in from
of him on horse, with instructions
to sow the salt thickly over thu
patch to be destroyed.
The rain brcakes up the crystals
and leaves thin coating OF sal
over the leaves, which the cattl
soon find; and in their effort to ge
the salt they chew off the leaves an'
light twigs supporting them, staml
down the bushes and in time xii

Demand For Potatoes

Already there is quite demand
for potatoes in this section and
growers here Of any prominence
are almost daily receiving proffers

Are You Using To Much Water2

Tests which have been made at
the Gooding experimental station
disclose interesting facts as to duty
Of water, according to Don ii. Bark,
director Of irrigation investigations
in this state, who has returned to
Boise from the south.
Different amounts Of water have
been put on three kinds Of grain,
the Sonora, Bluestem and Defiance
wheats, to find out how much wat
er should be applied to secure the
best results. The amount of water
varied on 81 different plots, from
dry farming, with no application,
all the way up to four feet Of water
during this season. The stuff has
Mt been threshed yet, and when it
is, more important data will be
forthcoming.
The observations show that these
grains grew finely up to depth Of
one and one half feet of water, but
from there on they dropped off on
yields OF both straw and grain,
This therefore, indicates that
about a foot and half of water is
the right measure for the season on
that particular soil and for that
kind OF crop.
The soil at the station is the typi-
cal lava ash which is common 10 a
greater part of Southern Idaho, 50
that probably similar results would
be secured in other places.
Mr.. Bark and lis assistants have
been doing 4 new line of experiment
work OF vital interest to irrigation
ists. They have been testing out
the carrying capacity of irrigation
canals, particularly those lined with
different substances, such as wood
en- fumes and concrete canals.
By making experiments on these,
the Investigators will he able to tell
engineers and other interested per
sons just what they'll have to figure

The Farmers Meet

Quite an interesting session OF the
Canal Users ASH, was held last Sstur-
day afternoon at the City Hall, . large
number of representative farmers being
present.
Reports from various sections indi-
Gated that while the crop would be a
little later than usual, the yield of canta-
loupes would be quite satisfactory, and
the promise OF good market very en-
ceuarging. Manager Wood, of the Pay
ette Valley Melon Growers Assn, after
careful inspection OF a portion OF the
acreage planted here, estimated the yield
at from $50 to l75 crates OF marketable
MELONS per acre, which under general
conditions should net upwards OF soc
per crate. The action OF the board OF
directors in arranging with the Payette
Assn, to handle the MELONS, met with
the approval Of all.
An experienced man will be sent here
to superintend the packing, AS it is de-
sired to make Il record in the market
for Jerome melons this season. Secre-
tary Jaycox has placed an order for a
carload Of crates, which are expected to
arrive shortly. Some small shipments
will probably be made the first of the
week, but it will be about the first OF
the month before the bulk OF the crop
will be ready for shipment.
1t was voted TO handle the melons
from growers who are not members OF
the association, on 10 per cent basis.
A financial report OF A. I. Eakin,
secretary of the general association, wa'
read and on motion was filed pend
ing Il more detailed report after the
books of the Secretary and Treasurer
had been audited by committee ap-
pointed by the various branches FOL
that purpose. This report has beer
eagerly looked for by members OF TIN
association, and when completed shonlo
show in detail the receipts and disburse
mcnts of every dollar that has beer
handled by the board of directors OF tn
general association. We might add
however, that the report rs presented
shows the association TO be in health,

State Auditor Taylor wanted to
know how the present settlers would
be affected by the granting Of the
petition now before the land board
lie was informed that they would
not bc affected at all.
"Thcn, " said Auditor Taylor,
Why try to hold this proposition
up? Why not let each proposition
stand on its own merits?n
He was informed by Attorney
lawlcy that he considered it wrong
to permit the company TO modify
its contract with the state in way
to benefit it, ii it were not willing
at the same time to modify the con-
tract to clearly define the rights OF
the settlers.
Auditor Taylor took the opposite
view and held that the two PROPOSE
tions should be handled separately

Dougall to grant the Kuhn petition
