prepared summer titled seed-bed will
yield better returns than any other
grain crop urges Idaho dry farmers to
seed more acres this fall. 1t is one of
the best grains that can be fed to hogs,
is desired in large quantities by the
malster,, and where acclimated seed is
used, is as drough resistant as any
grain crop our farmers can grow.
Therefore, grow winter barley, feed
it to.fhogs, driving them, instead of
hauling the. grain to market.

and better pork than is produced in the

There will be a fine Christmas pro-

And there will be beautifully dec
Grated Christmas tree, with treat for
every child on the Richfield tract.
1t had been expected that the public
exercises would be held in the big new

WINTER WHEAT.
Barley, Too, A Great Crop Jor
The Idaho Farmer.

The value of winter wheat to the dry
farmer has been demonstrated to a GER
tainty in Idaho. 1t is superior to spring
sown grown grain of all kinds, since ii
fits into the farmers plan of summer
culture. and its period of growth comes
during those months when rainfall is
generally most likely to occur.
Winter barley, in Idaho, has passed
the experimental stage and has been so
successfully grown in so many loclities
in southern Idaho above the ditch this
past season that there can be but little
difficulty in getting seed.
The writer finds that the price for
good winterIbarley runs from 25 to 35
cents per hundred above wheat, and it
will usually yield more bushels per acre
then wheat.
By using good seed of type sought
for mailing purposes, seeded on well
prepared summer titled seed-bed, DR..
Whitaker Of Indian Valley, was able
this season to- harvest 68 IL bushels
per sacre, average. over field of 30
acres. Herhas just sold this crop for
81. 40 per hundred on market that is
paying but $l05 per hundred for Tur-
key Red wheat.

2Day Farm School
Agricultural College Experts to
be in Richfeld, March as

A farmers school is to be held in Richfed, for
two days, the 18th and 5th of March, when the ex-
perts of the state agricultural college and the o.
S. l.. will be here to lecture on and to demon
strate the best methods in agricultural and kin
d ged subjects.
similar school was held here last winter, and
almost every man. woman and child on the tract
attended. Some of the remarkable crops raised
on the tract the season of 1911 the result of
the enthusiasm and technical knowledge gained
from the two days school.
Richfeld needs mores Farmers, but more than
anything else better farming. The eagerness of
the people to take advantage of all the1 farmers
schools, lecturesrand exhibit trains, is the finest
kind of indication of the way this section is to
be developed. Better stock better fruit, better
methods for every line of product, all these are
Of absorbing local interest and several hundred
times profitable than political ambitions.
The Recorder would suggest that any one who
wishes particular, definite information on any
farm topic, should write to Prof Olin at Mos
COW, asking for that subject to- be presented at
the Richfeld meeting The agricultural college
experts earnestly trying to make their lec-
lures and schools profitable to the people, and
will welcome any suggestion that is of local in

CLEANER, SAFER FOOD.
What Pure Food Commission
Has Done For idaho.

Out of more than 40 cases that have
been prosecut ID unde- the state pure
food laws, the state pure food and san
itary commission has lost but one---that
against Boise baker whose bread was
found to contain few flies.
These cases that were won covered
almost every kind of food fiim-fams---
short weight butter, sanded sugar,
wormy apples, spoiled meats, dirty
milk, tallowy lard. and about every
kind of shortage. adulteration and i'm
purity. How much disease and harm
they have saved the state, and how
much money, it would be hard to guess;
it is easy to believe that ten dealers
or growers or manufacturers have come
up to the legal requirements for every
one who was prosecuted---snd it means
health and moneys worth for many
thousands. The state law is most EN-
inently fair; it only asks pure food and
honest weights and sanitary conditions
for the innocent buying public that has
fleeced and imposed upon most wretch
edly.
Starting as it did two years ago with
hardly desk, with little money to sup
port and no precedent to guide, it is 4
truly remarkable record that the de-
partment has made Commissioner
Wallis has made record that any ono

been for the public good.

The Recorder is just coming to its third Christmas
in Rchfeld; some have been here for five years To
any who has the town grow from nothing,
this should be indeed be Merry Christmas for it is
great gain in everything that's good, that every
day should be Merry Christmas. With good crops,
good health railroad and many other tenn
poral blessings, there isn't Richfeld resident who
isn't fairly rolling in Christmas favors.
And since these things do not come by chance,
by power the forces of nature, but by
the boundess benefcence of power far greater than
any man, than all men---a Power whose many gifts
eliminating in the coming of He whose name is COM
memorated in the name Christmas why not give
