BUCKLEY TELLS OF PLANS
Says Many Fruit Trees Will be
Planted This Spring.

VIM. Buckley, of Coeur d'Alene,
horticultural Inspector, was in
Rathdrum Wednesday, for the
purpose of appointing a local in
spector to handle shipment of trees
received at this point this spring,
For the convenience of all con-
cerned, he said it was desirable
that man be located at this place
to inspect the shipments of nursery
stock as soon as they arrive at the
depot so that if they are passed
they can be delivered immediately
to the purchaser and that there
will be as little delay as possible
IN setting out the trees. The law
allows seven days in which to
make inspections, but Mr.. Buckley
stated it was his desire to have the
trees inspected as soon as received.
He appointed two inspectors at
Athol Tuesday to look after the
trees received at that point.
Speaking Of the holding of a
county fair at Coeur d'Alene, Mr..
Buckley stated it has been pro-
posed to induce the citizens of
Occur d'Alene to advance the
necessary funds for that purpose,
the county to provide an equal
amount for premiums, exhibits of
grasses, grains, fruits, vegetables,
etc., to be gathered from every
part of the county. The total
amount necessary he estimated at
$4,000. The law, he said, allows
the county board to appropriate on
present valuation of the county
$4,000, but it is thought if an ap-
preparation of $4,000 could be made
this year for the purpose of adver-
tlsing the resources of kootenai
county by means of a county fair,
he believes it would be sufficient
and be favored by the taxpayers
and result in securing a large
number Of new settlers. He said
kootenai county has 500, 600 acres
OF stump land that is being cleared
at the rate of 10, 900 acres a year,
thus providing room for a large
number Of settlers, if the soil and
climatic conditions can be brought
to their notice through the medium
OF exhibits at county and state
fairs.
Mr.. Buckley stated that a large
number of trees would be planted
in his district this spring.

TO TEACH AGRICULTURE
Potato Clubs to be Organized
in Idaho.
FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS
Plan Endorsed by State Superin-
tendent and Prof. Olin.

The Idaho state department O,
public instruction has been work.
ing to encourage vocational work,
especially elementary agriculture,
in the rural schools of the state.
At last, with the aid of the Agri-
cultural college, a scheme was
devised which is meeting with
hearty approval and support
throughout Idaho, says an article
issued to the newspapers by State
Superintendent Of Instruction
Grace M. Shepherd. 1t has been
decided to have potato clubs
throughout the state-it is hoped
in every district of the state. The
boys and the girls forming these
clubs are to raise 500 hills OF
potatoes; the prize winning pota.,
toes in each district to be sent to
the county fair; the first four prize
winners to be sent to the state fair
for the sweep stakes prize. II
Professor Olin, director of the
extension department of the Agri-
cultural college, has been working
on a bulletin, giving full directions
as to the formation of the clubs,
the preparation of the seed bed,
the preparation of the seed, the
cultivation of the plant, and the
care Of the crop. This bulletin
will be distributed as soon as it
comes from the press. n.
The board Of state fair directors
has most heartily endorsed the
plan and are enthusiastic concern
ing the success. They will organ
ize juvenile department where
only the exhibits of the boys and
the girls will be placed. They will
bring the first prize winner Of each
county to the state fair, where they
will receive instruction in agricul-
ture and stock judging during the
week.
The plan for sewing clubs is we'll
under way. This is open to the
girls in each district. A bulletin
will soon be issued giving full
as to the plan and to the
sewing. Only mending, patching,
darning, and the making of work
apron will be included. 1t is the
desire that each girl in every dis
trict will enter this contest. The
plan concerning the prize winners
is the same as IN the potato club.
The first prize winner from eacL
county will be brought to the state
fair, where they will receive
weeks instruction in some phase
OF domestic science. Everything
will be done for the comfort end
welfare of these boys and girls
during the week. They will be
cared for by competent men and
women.
Much enthusiasm is shown not
only by the boys and the girls, but
also by the trustees and teachers.
This undertaking is looked upon
by all as a move in. the right
direction. vs
The boys and the girls agri-
cultural clubs THAT have been
carried on for many years in other
states have been power in de-
veloping scientific agriculture.
The movement now on foot in
Idaho is believed by many to be
the beginning Of wider and a
more useful life.
1t is the earnest hope Of the
state superintendent that parents,
trustees, and teachers will lend
:heir influence to make this con-
test success; that districts and
county officials will. offer. sufficient
local prizes to give the contest a
keener zest. Idaho made record
