Amend Land Bill.

After a conference with Secre tary
Fisher and other officials Of the interior
the house public lands COM
mittee has practically agreed to mater
tally amend the Borah-Jones threeyear
homestead bill by increasing the length
OF residence required and diminishing
the time during which settlers may be
absent each year Fisher insists the
bill is altogether too liberal and person
ally wants to retain the fve-year term
at present, but is willing to concede that
settlers may be absent during specified
winter months, though not for more
than four or five months at the out
side. He also wants included some re-
quirement as to the specific amount Of
cultivation required before patent can
be secured.
The house committee is inclined to
revise the bill to meet the secretary's
views and if this is done the bill will be
reported substantially in accord with
the views expressed by the secretary in
his annual report.
The house is likely to follow the re-
commentator of the committee, thus
throwing the bill into confereuce, where
compromise may be reached. The senate
will not agree to bill as rigid as pro-
posed by Fisher.

Profits Of Beef Trust

By @. II Tavepner, special correspond
to Parma Herald
Washington, Feb, 12.-The beeftrust
packers declare that during the years
1907, 1908, 1909 and 1910 their net pro-
fits from fresh meat were only one eighth
of one cent per pound.
In 1907 the retail price Of fresh meat
was from lis to 1873 per cent higher
than in 1900, while the price Of cattle
declined in that period from $92 46 to
ssl.53 Aud while dressed beef was
half cent pound dearer in 1910 than
in 1909, the price Of beeves was lower,
declining from SO per hundred pounds
in 1909 to $7.55 in 1910.
Any self-respecting COW, says the New
York World, has the right to wonder
who got the extra difference between
her price on the hool and her price dres.

American Foul Brood Ex-
lists in Canyon
County,

The United States Department of Ag-
riculture calls attention to the fact that
"American foul brood" has been found
to exist in Canyon county. The De-
partment has no means of knowing
how long the disease has existed in the
region, but desires to notify bee keepers
of the trouble and to suggest that, il not
already informed concerning the dis
ease, they inform themselves at once.
Very frequently colonies Of bees are de-
stroyed by disease and the loss is at
tributed by the bee keeper to some 9TH
er cause. Farmers Bulletin No. 442
''The Treatment of Bee Diseases" gives
description of the brood diseases and
methods OF treatment. 1t will be sent
free on request to the Secretary of Agri'
culture. Washington, D. G.
Attention is also called to the faci
that the brood diseases do not at all in
jure honey for human consumption, Sc
that there need be no fear on the par

EASTERNERS
INTERESTED
Fruit Lands of Idaho are
Attracting Great
Attention,

T. II. Kerr has returned to Nampa
from an extended eastern visit, where
he went in the interests of the Eagle
Heights Orchard tracts north OF Nampa.
Mr.. Kerr says that the eastern people
are making great effort to create new
interest in the cultivation of fruit and
this is particularly true of Ohio and
states in that section. He says that in
Ohio the agricultural colleges and differ
ent counties are securing lecturers on
horticulture and fruit raising to deliver
addresses with a view to interesting
the people in the home production OF
fruit.
Despite this, Mr.. Kerr says that he
was besieged in every town which he
visited with questioners who we're
anxious to learn OF the possibilities Of
Idaho in the fruit and other farming
lines He says that Idaho and ali of the
great fruit raising states Of the northwest
will be flooded early next month with
prospective homeseekers. He spent a
large portion of his time at Columbus,
Ohio, and from this section will ccme
great numbers to this section.
"Just to show you the interest that is
being taken in Idaho" said Mr.. Kerr
"a little Columbus boy was given q
nickel by his mother to buy candy with
and the li9tle tot went to the railroad
station and reaching his nickel up tc
