FALLS COUNTRY
IS DOING GOOD WORK
H. Stanley Coffin Says 1t IL Pro
ducing Crops Assregating
100, 900 Carloads Yearly

Produce aggregating 100000 car
loads in tonnage IL produced on 49,
900 acres Of land now under cultiva-
ton in the Twin Falls country of
Idaho. according to H. Stanley Coffin,
who has Just returned to this city
from visit OF week on the Coffin
property there. Mr.. Coffin gives the
figures Of production, as they were
given to him, a. follows: Alfalfa,
$4,000 tons; wheat, 100000 bushels;
oats, 100000 bushels; barley, $780,
900 bushels; potatoes, 100000 bush
els. In addition to this there are a
great many berries, apples and other
fruits and Mr.. Coffin says that the
winter apples look as good as any he
has ever seen. There are no pests
and the fruit Is clean and sound.
Pillow up Alfalfa
What gave me che greatest CUR
prise over there said Mr.. Coffin, "is
that they pillow UP alfalfa and plant
wheat. My foreman suggested to me
that he thought We ought to plow up
40 to alfalfa and plant wheat and
I remarked in reply that / thought
he was crazy. He said that otaers
were doing 1t with good success and 1
found that they were. After alfalfa
they get so to 10 bushels of wheat to
the acre and they sell it at good
price SO that there 10 a profit above
what the land will give in alfalfa. They
find that by using the land in wheat
for . few years, then planting alfalfa
and keeping it for three or four years
and then returning to grain, they get
the best results and make money.
Livestock Interests
There is quite a lot of livestock
and ten. years from now when the
livestock holdings are ten times as
heavy as at present, the country will
be q money maker all along the line.
Farmers there are keeping from 100
to 500 and 1000 head Of sheep, lots
Of hogs and quite number of dairy
cattle. They are raising good stock,
studying seriously how best to care
for it and increasing their holdings as
rapidly as they can. They, are. on The
right road SO far as their own coun-
try IL concerned and It will be SPLEEN

President Taft has hoped to
strengthen his hold on his party by
appointing only loyal administration
men to positions. The progressives in
congress announce they will fight the
confirmation of these appointees
simply because they are loyal repub-
leans. The administration is in bad
straits since it will be forced to har-
Dor and maintain officials who are
using the strength of their positions
to defeat the president and the party.

The supreme court in Kansas denies
the right of Taft political leaders to
demand a court injunction to keep
Roosevelt electors off the regular re-
publican ticket by asserting that the
wrongs complained of were of a kind
for which the courts are not author

now be taven into the federal courts,
where the decision will be watched
with interest as it will settle definitely
the plan that the progressives have

Roosevelt electors for the regular re-

The announcement by a man who
knows that the mountain scenery of
the Cascades Is grander and more
magnificent than that of the Swiss
Alps Is something that should appeal
to all those who are boosting for
tourists to See America first" Dr.
Paul Ritter, minister to the United
States from Switzerland, said last
week after viewing the grandeur OF
the scenery on Mount Tacoma, II
have found new Switzerland 1t lie
different, but it's beauty is on a much
larger SCALE He wondered why the
beauties of the mountain did not
make it the mecca fir tourists He
did not know hiw sadly deficient AM

the scenery OF their native land.

As a result of record breakina crops
all over the country the farmers will
get another billion and half in
money, and this in spite of the fact
that the record crop will bear down
the price and also give the ultimate
consumer something more for his
money. There is no economic loss in
increased production, on the other
hand, there is no other thing that
will make so much for national prog
perity.

Only 33S of the 34,s19 bills in
troduced at this session of congress-
have been passed, and yet the best
criticism will be that too many have
been passed. The waste of time for
the consideration of the great mass
of legislation is one of the things that
most appeals to those who would like
to conserve legislative energy.
