BOISE, May A-(Special.)- o. Pals
lev. general manager OF the Omaha Land

in the interest of that exposition and has
now gone to weiser. From there he will
20 to a number Of other Idaho cities for
the purpose of interesting them in the pro-
ject. The Boise Commercial club has de-
oided TO take part, and subscribed 1900
for the purpose State immigration Com
missioner Rich will line up q fine state
showing and now the other sections will
be asked to do their part.
Governor j. H. Hawley has approved
Thursday, October 49, as idaho day, and
assured the management of the hearty sup
port of the executive department OF the
state in the movement, Governor Hawley
expects to attend the Land show at that
time and plans will be made for a large
attendance of Idaho boosters. The work
will be such as to emphasize all other work
done by the states and so get the best OF
returns from all Of our publicity. A good
exhibit was made at Omaha in January, but
not such as can be made there In October.
Prof. James w. Jones put up display
on very short notice and with but little
material to work with which was one Of
the unique features Of the show 1t was
one of Idaho fruit, grains and scenery
AS the exhibit came in January the only
fruit available was apples. This time all
OF the fine varieties Of fruit, for which
Idaho Is Justly famous, can be shown and
a much better exhibit OF grains than could
be obtained last season is also possible
All states should Help.
Forestry, mineral and live stock Indus
tries will also come In this time" said
Mr. Paisley yesterday. mot only can
these be given publicity through the ex-
hibits, but also through moving pictures
and stereopticon slides. A fine collection
Of these will not only be Of use at Omaha,
where / have already made reservation
of time for these on the program, but they
can be used elsewhere and will be ready
for use when the time comes to prepare
for the 1915 show at Frisco. This Will be
an available asset at all times.
Every community should come in and
do it's part. The State immigration depart
ment can lead in this matter, but they
reed aid from everyone. Next Monday,
Commissioner Rich is to present the plans
II the work to the Idaho Falls club and
Secretary Atkinson to the Boise CONNER
,ial club and have arranged to join Mr..
Rich at that time. 1t is a time for all to
boost together so that we will get the
best share of the big immigration which
leaves the old west"

largest cotton warehouse in the South
and will very probably be located in
Columbia.

made by j. Whitner Reid, secretary
and treasurer Of the State union:
I'm accordance with a resolution
adopted by the South Carolina State
Farmers union at the annual meeting
held in Columbia July 26-27, 1911,

well, members Of the organization
committee appointed at the State
Union meeting, met in the Office Of

atOrs.
The capital stock Of this corpora
ton will be 100000, with the privi-
lege of increasing to 100000. with
shares at the par value Of $40 each.
THE purpose of the corporation is
to do general warehouse business.
including the storing and dealing in
cotton and other farm products.
IAN active campaign will soon be
commenced in each county to raise
the capital stock"

Yours even date. Our crop now in

heavy. In many others none. Con-
dition not as good as on July 25.

From the foregoing it will be seen
that, according to the commissioners
of agriculture of the State OF Georgia,
Texas Arkansas, Mississippi, the yield
will probably be no greater in these
States than last year.
In Alabama deterioration since
July % to August 10 has been 10
per cent and with present prospects
the yield only 5 per cent greater
than last year.
From North Carolina the report
does not come from the commissions
er. The increase, if any, not indcat-
ed.
From Louisiana, the report is to
the effect that the crop would be
third greater than last year Louisiana
made last year. according to the de-
partment, 256.375 bales.
From Oklahoma the report is to
the effect that they will make 1000
900 bales. oklahoma made last year
according to the department, 955,951
bales.
From South Carolina, the report is
that If conditions remain practically
the same, the yield will be about az
average crop. The conclusion there
fore from these reports would seem
to be, taking the increase OF Okla
homa Louisiana and North Carolina
and Alabama, not exceeding 1000, 900
bales
The conclusion drawn from these
reports are widely at variance with
the preliminary estimate made by the
department OF agriculture.

haps the smallest in more than q
