CAMPAIGN FOR RELIGION

Four teams are to enter the field
for the Men and Religion movement
when the second part of the campaign
starts on January s. The week just
ended has been given up to confer
ences of members of the teams them
selves. when mistakes of the fall
campaign in the west have been gone
over, and new methods evolved from
them. The four conventions to be
held Immediately are those of Port
land, Providence, Springfield and
Worcester, and these are to be fol-
lowed on the succeeding week by the
conventions in Boston, Hartford and
Rochester. For the Boston meeting
two teams are to be engaged.
From the conventions thus far
held, wholly in the middle west and
southwest, reports r. to the effect
that bible classes are much increased
in number, and attendance upon old
classes has grown. The bible work
is thus far reported to have produced
most visible effect, with the social
service and labor work a good Sec
ond. During January and February
there are planned nearly three hun
dred conventions in smaller towns of
the west and southwest, to be con-
Quoted by men who attended the
main centers. One member of the
general teams will be in charge. The
reports of favorable impressions upon
the small towns where auxiliary
conventions have thus far been held
indicate attendance even larger in
proportion than the main ones.
Already plans are making for the
conservation congress, which is to be
held in Washington in April. Here
will be gathered all of the teams,
and national leaders in most relig-
ious bodies. This congress will not
be for platform addresses but for de-
liberation on what to do during the
summer and next fall to make re-
suits of the whole campaign per-
manent. Out of the congress will
probably grow, it is said, a consid-
cradle number of new organizations,
certainly of declarations. President
Taft is expected to speak.

HEAVY TRAVEL EXPECTED

Los Angeles, Jan. 16.-That the
colonist traffic will far exceed all
expectations is shown by the demand
that has been made on railroads in
the East to open their colonist sea-
son as early as possible as many
eastern farmers are now making pre-
parations to come to California. A
large number are ready to come now
and are only waiting for the time
when they can take advantage of the
low rate that will be offered by the
transcontinental lines beginning
about March 10.
This great migratory movement to-
wards the Pacific Coast has come be-
cause of the sewers winters all over
the East and the Middle West. Many
lives have been lost and livestock
worth hundreds of thousand of dol.
lars have persisted because of the
severe and continued low tempera'
ture. These efficient farmers are
wearied of battling with adverse con
ditions of weather and have determ'
med to seek the mild climate of the
Pacific Coast. AS a result conserva'
tive railway passenger traffic offic
ials have raised their estimate on the
number of colonists this year from
$4,000 to 10000 or $4,000.
For the same reason the touris'
traffic is much heavier this year thar
ever before. Special trains have beef
put on all lines in order to accommo
date the greatly increased traffic.

ONE ADDED KERNEL MEANS 90.
100000 BUSHELS.

If n extra potato were added to
each plant grown in the United States
the actual increase in the annual
of the crop would amount to 21,-0O0.-
600 bushels. The figure is given in
a report on DRY Farm Crops and
Their Improvement" by Prof. F. B.
Linfield of the Montana Agricultural
college, and published by the Inter-
national Dry Farming congress in it's
annual handbook.
'If one extra kernel were added to
each head of oats, barley, wheat or
ear of corn" says Prof. Linfield, 1--WE
would have of oats 20, 900, 900 BUSH
els extra; of barley, $4,000, 900 BUSH
els extra; of wheat, 15,00O,0 900 BUSH
els extra, and of corn, 5000, 600
bushels extra. And not for one year
alone, but for all time, this slight
increase in the yield of the plant
would add many millions of bushels
to our crops.

to variety, not mixed and with

POTATO BREAKFAST IN MAGIC
CITY.

Do the boosters of Twin Falls
work all night, sleep all day and eat
breakfast in the evening? One would
naturally infer that this is so by read
ing a dainty little invitation sent out
by the Independent Order of Baked
Potato Worshippers," Twin Falls
Chapter No. 1, for the second annual
baked potato breakfast to be held in
that city on Saturday, January FL, at
9 o'clock in the evening. The af-
fair will be under the auspices of the
Twin Falls Commercial club, of which
the guiding genius is Secretary r. W..
Spangler, inventor of baked potatoes
for breakfast. Spangler not long ago
told the world how to eat baked po-
tatoes for breakfast and even Pres
ident Taft adopted his recipe. Spang-
ler's recipe for baking the spuds is
no different than that of the ordinary
housewife, but it is in the eating that
the proof of the pudding is found.
Spangler says to break the baked po-
tato in half, scoop out of each half a
little hollow with a spoon, fill each
hollow with a lump of fresh butter
and eat with a fork from the natural
cups. The uniqueness of eating baked
potatoes for breakfast is modified by
the fact that the breakfast is held at
night.

A BILL OF GREAT IMPORTANCE

Washington, D. c. January 10
A bill of great import will be intro
duced in the House of Representa-
tives on Wednesday, Jan. II, by Rep
resentative Lever of South Carolina,
and on the same day it will be pre-
scented in the Senate Jointly by Sena-
tors Hoke Smith and Page. The bill
provides for the further endowment
and support of Agricultural Colleges
to enable them to assist in getting
into practice the best methods of ag-
riculture evolved by operation of the
plan of establishing and maintaining
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations in the various states.
This measure is the joint work OF
the National Soil Fertility League,
the executive committee of the col
leges of agriculture and the statesmen
above named. 1t is in line with the
presidents recommendation in his ad-
dress at the National Conservation
Congress at Kansas City, Mo-, Sept.
25, 1911, it has the support of the
House leaders of both parties, and it
may be regarded as an omni-partisan
measure.
According to the general plan out
of which this measure springs, it is
proposed that the procedure shall
consist of getting into general prac-
tice the best methods known of scien-
tific agriculture by employing trained
agri~culturists, or practical farm dem
onstrators, skilled in the most ap-
proved methods of farm practice, to
take to the farmer on his W farm
the information or knowledge that
will enable him, the latter, to inter
pref and adapt to his local condi-
lions the best methods of farming. In
plain terms, it will as rapidly as pos
sible, place a trained, practical man,
selected and directed by the respec-
tive state agricultural colleges, per-
manently in each agricultural county
of the United States, and enables the
farmer to become master of his call
ing aided by the best services the
country can furnish, and supported
by federal and state funds.
According to the provisions of the
bill there will be an appropriation
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-01-19

beginning at the rate of less than n
cent per capita and will approximate
three cents per capita by the time
the annual appropriation shall have
increased from $500, 900 per year, the
starting point, to a little over three
million dollars, when it reacehs the
maximum. To have a clear idea of
the distribution of these funds it
must be understood that each state
receiving it's share of the fund must
appropriate an equal amount for this
purpose.
Most authorities have expressed the
belief that the operation of this plan
will in a few years increase the farm
output at least SO per cent. That
e an increase of wealth per cap
tia of about $50 per annum, and it
adds to the country's assets four and
one-half billions in national resource
es. The average acreage of Europe
gives from two to three times the
yield of the American farms, not
withstanding their soil has been pro-
ducing for centuries more than the
lands have been cropped here.
In the presidents opinion this
promises to be the most valuable con-
structive legislation Of recent years.
Speaker Clark says the mind cannot
grasp the benefits that should grow
out of this movement. Majority
Leader Underwood expresses the be-
lief that it will do more good to more
people than any other single enact
ment in a generation. Mr.. H. H.
Gross, of Chicago, president of the
National Soil Fertility League, says
he has submitted this specific plan
to every agricultural college in the
land, there has been no adverse crit
icism and about 95 per cent have
strongly endorsed it; it has been APP
proved by about four hundred public
bodies, such as. boards of trade, COM
mercial associations, business mems
clubs, women's clubs, ETC., and nearly
a thousand influential newspapers
have expressed a willingness to sup
port it.

it contains no editorial heading, the

is said to be an excellent newspaper
field at Roberts formerly Market

caused many printers to look at 1t

TO TAKE A RELIGIOUS CENSUS

The Boise committee of 100 of the
Men and Religious Forward move
ment has undertaken to secure an &C
curate religious census of that city.
The city has been districted and each
district organized. Through these
district organizations the necessary
information bearing upon the relig-
ious status of the people Of the city
will be readily secured. 1t has here
tofore been impracticable to secure
anything like an accurate census OF
that kind but it is believed the one
now to be taken will be complete In
every detail.
The offer to do this work by the
committee of the movement is sig
nificant of the spirit that has been
aroused by this campaign in the
breasts of the men participating In
it.

ICE WITHOUT A HOUSE.

In the absence of a good house, Ice
may be kept pretty well, piled snugly
on the north side of a barn or shed
room, and covered Z to II inches
thick with hay or straw; this would
do it more closely and compactly If
first passed through the straw cutter
and made into short lengths. Peo-
pie generally suppose that ice, to
keep we'll, must be stored in a close
house, and outside air shut away
from it as much as possible, whereas
it is much better to ventilate the
building where stored.
Because a shed is so open to out
side air is one reaso why ice keeps
SO easily in 1t; but this should be on
the north side only, and spaces two
to three inches square opened at the
east and west end, near the roof, for
ventilation above. The first made
ice In the aso is preferable for
storing, as it is generally harder and
purer than the latter, especially If
the later is frozen after a thaw-B.

dumb Animals)

The English writer, Mr.. Jerome K.
Jerome, once had the misfortune OF
having one of his OWL dogs caught
in a steel trap. This led him to make
a very careful examination of the
power of these remnants Of barbar-
ity," not only on the body of a dead
rabbit, but also on his W person.
He tells his experience in these
words:
II tried placing my own finger
within, allowing the trap to close up
on it gently. must ask you to be-
lieve that l am fairly plucky at bear
ing pain; l have had my share of it
in various forms and from those who
know me l could confidently ask for
a testimonial on this point. l al
lowed my finger to remain there for
three. minutes by my watch. For nay
purpose this was sufficient and l saw
no practical good in sustaining longer
what | have no hesitation in describ-
ing as excruciating suffering. If any
reader thinks l am employing exag-
gerated language. l I'M prepared to
listen to him after he has tried a sim
liar experiment. The suffering in
creases with every second. An al
most intolerable aching spreads over
the whole body. The limb itself be-
comes one burning center of pain;
you long to tear it off. If this be
the result of three minutes, imagine
three hours. And to this, remember,
in the case of the rabbit must be add
ed the agony of the torn flesh and
the crushed bone.

ing of the thirst and hunger that
must creep upon the animal left
sometimes in these traps for days
and nights. | wish to confine myself

Life in the country to those with the
slightest feelings of sympathy is made
wretched by the thought of all this
suffering going on around them

victims are common sounds during
