Mr.. Editor, Gazette
The following is as I saw

Mr.. Editor. Gazette
The following is as l saw
The South Idaho country.
/ looked over a considerable por-
ton of southern Idaho and was very
badly disappointed in both what I
found as well as what I did mt find.
I looked over the American Falls.
Rupert. and Reft River Valley Coun-
try and found absolutely no vegeta-
ion. except sage brush. Very
small patches of grain are found in
the American Falls country near the
Mountains where, I was told, consid-
cradle rain fell during the Spring
months. Outside of this l found no
vegetation except sage brush as stat
ed above.
Water is hard to get. Wells are
from three to four hundred feet deep.
l will admit that in irrigated ground
Alfalfa may be grown, but there is
no market for same. For my part
! would rather have ten acres on the
Potlatch than whole quarter section
of this South Idaho Land we hear SO
much about at his time.
In one respect this South Idaho
country is blessed with Cor l should
say cursed with) Jack-rabbits.
These animals one can find by the
thousands. They are very destruc-
tive to the little patches of grain that
people are attempting to grow. Also
l was told, they are so numerous,
that at times they interfere with pass
ing trains.
1t is all dry farming" and the
very worst kind at that. l wish to
state right here and now, for the
benefit of my friends and everybody,
not to be mislead by the land adver-
Using" of the land and real estate
men of that country. as these land
agents praise up this country for the
sole purpose to sell. I would at
least very earnestly adives my friends
to look over this desolate, dreary
looking country before investing.
There are no trees or shrubberv
of any kind to be found except Just
traces of some along the few-in-num-
Der Creeks.
The pesky fly and mosquito infest
this South Idaho Country in large
and inconceivable numbers. These
insects are certainly a plague of that
section.
Water is scarce and wells are hard
to make, therefore some of the few
inhabitants are compelled to haul
water, even for home or house use,
long distance.
l surely fail to understand how
any one could make even as little as
a bare existence in South Idaho.
There is no use trying to make a
living in that dry, barren country.
Forget it boys! If anyone brags
UP South Idaho, I say forget it! Its
nothing but wild and hollow specu-
lation. Nothing to it. Boys forget
it!
Michael Block,
Kendrick, Ida.

This week John Woody harvested
alfalfa hay that yielded two and one
half tons to the acre. 1t is the Sec
ond year for the field. This shows
that anything will grow and yield a
good crop in this country if it is
taken care of.
Will the party that got the mis-
mated pair of shoes at the Greer
shoe shop please return them.
If you didn't get a progr am of the
day call up the Gazette office.
John Christensen left for Boise,

August Tschew. Sam Mellison
and Harry Grenolds went to Lewis

which it should have, but is yellow

some who read this, if any do, will say:
well, if we should take as much pains.
in fitting our land for June clover we
would get as good a crop, but you
surely could raise more weight and
more protine from alfalfa and your
clover could only be cut once or twice
while the alfalfa can be cut four or
five years and possibly more.
