An Appeal to Delawareans---A
Campaign for Historical Building

The Delaware Historical Society
has recently issued a neat little
booklet coming from the New Am,

The Delaware Historical Society
after an existence Of fifty years, has
a membership Of $50. ffty-six pub

From the article. 1.-The Need of Il

THE functions Of the Historical

First and most important, perhaps,
is the collection and preservation Of
what we may call the raw material
Of history.
History occupies the high seat

methods Of historical Investigations
have been revolutionized within the
memory of students who are not
yet old. Improved methods of
study have given superior results
in accurate and authentic work.
Secondhand material, skillfullv ar

answers the demand. Sources must
be patiently sought and studied
presumable facts must be analyzed

Historical Society to collect and
preserve the raw material with
the historian works.
Our Society, though hampered
by insufficient funds. and lack OF
cooperation on the part Of many
who should have been interested
and active in its behalf. has good

HAWLEY'S TAX HOBBY.

to come over into Idaho, and held off
by the specter of low valuation and
high rate Of taxation. But it does
believe that average tenderfoot who
might be welcome to Idaho would
rather see and face these twin horrors,
than to subject himself to a governor
that proposed to "fx" laws, a dozen
at time, rather than endure for two
years system of laws built up by
common consent around the unwritten
law Of low valuations, or have the
nerve to call special session of the
legislature to revise the laws, or have
had the wisdom to demand action when
they were in session. Idaho is not a

The University Cannery.

Realizing that tons and tons of
fruits and vegetables go to waste on
the farms annually in the state of
Idaho, and believing that this waste
could be utilized by canning and sold
at profit, the University of Idaho re-
Gently installed canning factory to
demonstrate this point. 1t will be the
object of the University to show just
how profitable home canning factory
can be made in connection with fruit
and vegetable growing on the farm.
If the undertaking proves a success, it
will mean a saving of thousands of
dollars to the farmers. How much
better it would be for the grower to
utilize his by-products in this way
than to sell the raw materials at
loss on glutted market. Some might
hesitate, fearing that the canned pro-
ducts would not SELL But the grower
need have no fear along this line
for he will find that the longer he
follows this business the better will
be the market, and if he takes pains
he can produce an article that will sell
as readily as that put out by the large
canning factories. A plant, similar to
the one installed by the University.
having a capacity of 500 to 1000 cans
daily, can be secured at nominal fig
ure. The installation of this outfit
will enable the horticultural depart
ment to offer complete course in
canning this fall. Each student will
have an opportunity to become familiar
with modern factory equipment and
methods. He will be required to learn
the methods of handling the raw ma
terial, grading, washing, preparing and
blanching the fruits and vegetables,
filling the cans, exhausting, Gaping,
testing for leaks, processing and cool
ing. Detailed instructions will be
given as to how the various products
such as apples, pears, peaches, plums,
beans, tomatoes, beets, ETC., are hand
led.
While the University cannery has
only been in operation short time,
several varieties of apples. pears,
and plums, peaches, cherries and beans
have been canned. These products
will be exhibited at the various fairs
this fall.

Irrigated Versus EARNED Whea
For Bread Making.

expression is frequently given to
an apparently wide spread opinion
among wheat growers and millers
that irrigated wheats. are charac-
teristically low in pluten and for that
reason are inferior to the dry-farmed
wheats for bread making purposes.
Thus far in the milling and baking
tests conducted at the Idaho Expert
ment station, we have not found the
decided differences in bread making
value, which are commonly believed
to exist. AS the bread making value of
wheat is, or at least should be, an i'm
portant factor in fixing the market
value, it is highly important that any
material difference in quality which
can be properly charged to irrigation
or to dry farming practices should be
thoroughly investigated. Mr.. Fish
burn of the dept of chemistery is now
in South Idaho for the purpose of
securing Thoroughly representative
samples Of the leading varieties which
were gown under both irrigated and
dry-farmed conditions during the sea-
son of 1912. While he will visit in
person each of the principal wheat
growing districts and will endeavor to
secure the samples direct from the
men who grew them, he Of course will
not come in contact with all who are
interested in the outcome of the in
vestigation, and who are in a position
to furnish us with the necessary SAM
Piles for milling purposes. If you have
grown during the season of 1912, any
one, or more, of the following named
varieties, either by irrigation or dry
farming methods, you will assist ma
terailly in this work if you will COM
municate that fact to the Department
of Chemistery of the Idaho Expert
ment station, at Moscow. Directions
for labelling and shipping the samples
will be sent to you. The varities that
are most desired for these tests are:
Blue Stem, Defiance, Diclow, Gold
Coin, Jones Fife, Odessa, Sonora and
Turkey Red. Any other variety, how
ever, which is known positively to be
grown in this state under both con-
ditions of farming, would be fully ac-
ceptable.
From the results of large number
of milling and baking tests we expect
to arrive at definite conclusions re-
garding the relative values of irrigated
and dry-farmed wheat when used for
bread making purposes. The results
of the tests will prove to be of great
value to all the wheat growers and
millers of the state and they will be
given the greatest possible publicity.

Some Causes of off Flavors in Butter.

Some Causes of off Flavors in Butter.
Bad f1avors in butter may come
from various causes. There are few
food products that take up undesir-
able fiavors so readily as do milk and
its products.
Perhaps the most common cause of
bad fiavors in butter is the introduc-
ton of filth into the milk or its pro-
ducts at some time during the process
OF production and manufacture of the
butter. With this filth is introduced
not only the flavor of the filth itself,
but also certain ferments which devel-
op in the cream or milk producing I'M
desirable havors in those products.
These havors are later introduced in
the butter. AS the ferments develop
more rapidly at high temperature than
at low, bad favors from this source
are usually much worse in the sum-
mer than in the winter time, where
unclean- conditions exist in the dairy.
The surroundings in which butter is
kept often has a great deal to do with
its flavor. 1t is we'll know that milk
and its products take up bad odors
from the atmosphere very readily. Too
often good butter is spoiled by stor-
ing it in surroundings where the at
mosphere contains odors which are
not desirable in butter.
Too often butter is kept in the same
cellar or ice box with strong smelling
meats or vegetables. Butter should
always be kept at low temperature
and in an atmosphere free from foul
odors.
The kind of feed which the cows
eat often has an effect upon the flavor
of the milk and its products. Strong
favored vegetables such as cabbage,
turnips, rape, onions and certain weeds
which sometimes grow in the pasture,
produce tainted flavor in the milk
and in the butter made from it. This
difficulty may be overcome to some
extent by feeding these feeds latter
milking time, rather than before. The
bad favors in the cream or milk pro-
duced from strong favored feeds may
be overcome to certain extent by
aerating the milk Immediately after
it is drawn and ripening the cream
with good starter.
One other common cause of un-
desirable favors in butter is that of
storage. Butter in order to be at its
best should be consumed soon after
it is manufactured. Many of the stale
and rancid favors in butter are due to
the fact that the butter is old when it
reaches the consumer.

Seed Bed For Winter Wheat

Too many farmers do not give
enough attention to the preparation
of the winter wheat seed bed. When
one goes over the country and notes
the great acreage of wheat seeded in
a hap-hazard way, in soil that has been
poorly cultivated and pulverized it is
not surprising to learn of some very
low yields the following harvest
Let US first consider what consti-
tutes an ideal seed bed and then how
to go about preparing such one.
Winter wheat requires first of all a
firm moist subsurface, covered with
two or three inches of loose, pulveriz-
ed soil to form mulch for the con-
servation of moisture. The seed
should be placed in the firm soil and
covered with moist soil. This in turn,
is covered with the loose, dry, surface
soil, which is to prevent evaporation
and running off; j. e., absorb any mois-
ture which may fall after seeding, and
hold it for future use by the growing
crop. A maximum crop cannot be
grown on land which is lumpy and
loose to the full depth of the furrow
slice, as Is the case when land is plow-
ed Immediately preceding the drill.
To prepare seed bed which will
produce the maximum crop requires a
great deal more labor than the aver
age farmer puts on his wheat land;
but it should be remembered that all
additional labor thus expended will be
we'll repaid in additional yields.
Land that has been summer-fallow-
ed and plowed during the early sum-
mer is the easiest to prepare for win
ter wheat. It has two or three months
in which to settle and with few early
rains needs little work to form per-
feet seed bed. If it is thoroughly
narrowed Immediately after the pillow
no clods will form and the furrow
slice will settle back naturally, SO that
only surface cultivation will be neces-
sary. This can best be done with the
disk. There is a great deal more sub
surface packing done with the disk
than would otherwise be expected and
this is what is wanted. The subsur-
face is frmed while the surface is
pulverized and the weeds killed.
On land plowed, the problem is
more difficult. In case there is not
time for natural settling of the soil.
1t must be done by artificial means.
Let the harrow follow the plow every
half day. This will break up any or
all Jumps and prevent baking. Some
packing will be accomplished also. II
a double disk could be used within
two or three days after this and then
double narrowing just before seed.
