\ FEW RESULTS OF SPEtIAd-
IZKTI0N IN DJROC JERSEYS

l.. b. Fry and Ralph Moore own
t.aneH rauIhesl lQpatasi abeNi pine
miles south west OF Jerome. Ilhey
are working il partnership and
are making a specially Of Duroc
Jersey hogs. As they are develop
ing POO acres of irrigated land for
crops including a large acreage for
orchards, and have pasture be-
sides, there is no lack of room for
the swine industry. Their policy
unIs year was to sell pigs at wean-
ing time, and they found the de-
mand lively at five dollars each.
One hundred and six pigs were sold
at that price making total OF
$3.50. This included one small SOW
which was sold with litter of pigs.
Four sows with pigs were sold at
thirty dollars each making Sl20. for
total. 1t will be seen that the
seasons sales amounted to $3.50.
They have on hand four sows
with thirty-two pigs and three
sows that will have pigs later. or
course these are all pure bred
stock. No doubt Messrs Fry and
Moore were unusually fortunate in
finding market for pigs this sea-
son because many ranchers desired
to make a start in that kind OF
hogs, but there is no doubt that
they will find a profitable market
for all they can raise in future
years The hog industry Is a WIN
ner for southern Idaho as many
are finding out to their profit.

FINE WATER DELIV-
W PAST SEASON
IDAHO IRRIGATION COMPANY is
MAKING IT'S RESERVOIR
DAM TIGHT

The Idaho Irrigation company is
still working large force on the
Magic dam and reservoir and are
using several steam engines. All
cracks or crevices in the canyon
walls of the reservoir are being
cemented solid. In addition TO
that a new system of ceR1enting the
dam has been adopted. A drilling
machine bores holes at intervals
in the dam from the top and into
these stream Of pure cement is
forced under pressure by steam
engine. Many tons of this pure ce-
ment mixed with nOInIng but water
IS being forced into the holes by
this means and it is expected that
all leakage will be stopped. As
matter of fact the leakage during
the past season has amounted to
almost nothing but the company
evidently intends to stop any
semblance of seepage for the fu-
ture. Here is what the Idaho Ir-
rlgatlon' company has to say re-
garding the water supply for 1911:
During the season of 1911 we have
delivered all the water everybody
along the Big Wood and Little
Wood rivers could use. There has
not been an hours interruption to
the service since delivery began in
the latter part of March. Over 200,
900 acre feet of water ran unused
into the Snake river and over f25.-
O00 acre feet We're In storage in the
reservoir when the demands for ir-
rIgatlon were practically all salts
fled.

PUMPING PROJECT
IN LINCOLN Co.
BIG INTERESTS PUTTING IT
THROUGH WITHOUT HES
FTATYON OR DELAY

The new 1900 acre segregation
OF the Great North side project is
to be developed at once. The Kuhn
interests have let the contract to
the Slick brothers OF Boise, mil
lionare contractors, who Will put
200 teams and hundreds of men on
the lob at once. The work is to
BE- all completed by the first OF
April. 1912. II is expected that dirt
Will fly in a few days time: al
ready grade stakes are to be seen
on the Big and Little Sugar Loaf
buttes indicating that the prelimln-
ary engineering work has already
been done. A large part Of this
ii. 900 acres is located directly east
of Jerome and tributary to her
markets. II is expected the open
ing will be made in Jerome early
in December and the citizens OF
that enterprising town are prepar-
ing for it in advance. A big lot OF
Advertising is being done and
crowd of eastern buyers Will un-
dotbtedIy attend the sale. AS the
price of water shares on the new
Segregation will be $4,000 per acre
and the maintenance fees flor a
pumping system will be probably
$500 per acre per annum: 1t Will
be seen that the new investors VII
put up their money on a much
higher valuation than has ever be-
fore occurred at a Carey Act open
ing in this part Of Idaho. A force
of men and teams and big engine
are at work on the jerome reser-
voir to make it water tight for the
season OF 1912; badger holes are
dug out and puddled making them
wafer tight. Wherever there are
indications of seepage the bottom
IS being silted and finished with
concrete roller drawn by the en-
gine. Probably from 25 to 50 teams
are engaged on this job besides the
menneeessa ry for handing the
work. A business meeting and
smoker was held in jerome last
Friday night for the purpose OF
laying plans 10 prepare for the
opening. MAJOR Reed had recently
returned from the land show at
Omaha and gave an encouraging
report of the feeling III the east

now NEVADA Is ENCOURAGING
DRY FARMING

The spirit Of paternalism seems
to be invading the states Of the
Union as Wen as the Federal gov
ernment. Governor Tasker J.. Od-
die of Nevada tells of cooperative
scheme whereby the people Of that
state may become interested in
Dry farming. 1t seems that COM
pany has been organized which is
sues shares OF stock for which the
people subscribe in sums to suit
their means and may thus secure
an investment in dry farming lands
a large section of which have been
purchased around the city of Car
son. The state buys the macbin-
cry and employs all the labor nee
essary to develop these dry farm
lands. OF course, it is understood
that expert help will be employed
so as to get the best lands for the
money invested. The state charges
nothing to the stockholders ex-
cept the cost of services, but pro-
fits, if there be any, are divided
among the stockholders and by the
same token the losses, should there
be any, would have TO be appor-
toned among the stockholders of
the company. The state does not
stand to gain or lose by the trans
action but it does lend its credit TO
the company and by this means the
best of machinery and help can be
without the expenditure
of any money by the stockholders.
the money all goes into the lands
desired. The people of Nevada have
seen wonderful progress made III
the neighboring state of Utah in
dry farming operations and this
scheme has been evolved in order
to give more impetus to the work
in Nevada.
