GET TOGETHER AND ADVER-
TlSE IRRIGATED IDAHO

Dir. L. H. Stuart Of Chicago. a
member of the n. W. Halsey COM
pany- d leading bonding house with
offices in New York, Chicago and
San Francisco, is spending the
week travelling over the several
tracts Of the Idaho Irrigation COM
pany's project in this county.
Ae. Stuart Is one of the directors
Of the Idaho Irrigation Co. and he
d here investigating conditions on
the project with view Of har-
cnizing the interests Of the actual
settlers with the interests Of the
bOndhOlders. He affirms that the
new plan Of extending the time Of
water payments was approved by
every member of the bonding COM
pany and they are now engaged in
getting in touch with the indivi-
dual holders Of the bonds to make
all final arrangements to put the
plan into operation. After visiting
Riehfield and Dietrich and driving
over to the Magic reservoir and
back to Gooding, Messrs. Kays and
Essley took the visiting financier
20 a meeting Of the GoOding Com
mercial Club On Tuesday eve where
Mr.Stuart had a heart to heart talk
with he members Of the club. st
this informal meeting the visiting
capitalist was gwen an inside view
of conditions over the project from
the settlers stand point after he
had stated frankly the outlook from
the Dondholders side Of the field.
Plans were then discussed for ad-
vertising the project in the east by
means Of exhibits showing the var
ious crops raised here. which
should be fully labeled to show
the Individual producers and the
locality where raised. The Good
ing Commercial Club took action
to start a campaign among the
farmers and business men of the
entire project for the raising and
crop products of various
kinds, the same to be assembled
and prepared for eastern land
shows. fairs and notable gatherings
by our commercial clubs and farm
ers' organizations. The officials of
the Idaho Irrigation Co., pledged
the company to lend every posi-
Dil assistance to the enterprise
that means new comers to help in
settling and developing the entire
project It seems well assured
then that the plan Of extending
the time of water payments will
90 through and that every entry
man who desires to do so can avail
himself Of the offer.

Crop Rotation

The question of crop rotation is

fundamental principles and facts

space of This article

without regard to The crop, fertil-

is a hit or miss proposition. By
the latter term we, mean a certain
defiaate sequence of certain crops,
with due regard to their effect
upon their fertility, and the physi-
cal condition of The soil and their
relation to each other.
The maintenance of soil fertility
depends to a great extent, on crop
rotation. This may be looked up
on as an indirect dependence, but

stands.

Interstate Commerce Commission Decides Present Rates

Victory for "Sage Brush" Attorneys

Il think we may safely say that
the Commission has never before
in its entire history ordered a
freight reduction involving so large
a cut on any single commodity as
viii result from this reduction on
wool. II is also the first time that
the Commission has ever ordered
general transit privileges enabling
the shipper of wool to store It at
warehouses along the routes and
then re-ship it to destination on
the through rate, with only -
cents per hundred pounds added
This viii be Of great value to the
wool growers by enabling them to
store their wool in any ware house
along the line. borrow money on it
and wait for an OppOrtune market.
We have been much pleased at
the congratulations received from

case. but feel that we ought TO

Messrs. Johnson and HaddOcb
are very much elated over the
news Of the substantial victory the
scored in the fight, for lower freight
rates on wool
i he decision Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in regard to
freight rates On wool will save the
sheep men of this western country
hundreds of thousands. of dollars
yearly on their wool shipments.
The total saving Will run over half
a million dollars and will likely
reach close to "a million dollars
every year.
In talking over the decision Mr..
east bound rates is a big help. the
greatest victory for the wool in
rss IS ihe fact that the western
rates have been just about cut in
paif which makes it practical for
the shippers of this territory to
ship their clips to Portland and
from there by water to Boston. the
great wool center. Heretofore the
rates on wool west from this ter
nory were the same as second
class freight. The new rates place
wool as fourth class freight where
there is not a rate otherwise spec
flied.
While the substantial cut on the
johnson spoke as follows:
I'VE have received the decision
Of the Interstate Commerce Com
in our wool case and find
that the reductions given are great
er and more comprehensive than
was indicated in the early dis
patches. 1t may be said that the
reductions range all the way from
30 cents per hundred pounds up
to - cents. 1t will save the wool
growers of the west approximately
a million dollars a year in freight
rates. Not only did the Commission
reduce rates from the wool pro-
iucing territory direct to Boston, !
but it made an order which cuts /
rates in two from this territory to /
Portland. Nearly all Of Oregon, /
and California and
Arizona will be enabled to make /
by way Of Pacific coast /
ports at rates somewhat less than /
he direct all-rail rates 10 Boston. !
This will necessarily result in still
'uurther reductions by the direct

A FEW POTATO Proverbs
THAT ARE TO THE POINT

The measure Of success In pOta-
to growing is the yield per acre
and quality of the harvested crop.
From the failures as well as the
successes of potato farmers, North
south, East and West, the writer
has hammered out the following
seven proverbs as the seven most
important potato needs.
/. A potato soil is a prime re-
Quisite for profitable potato cul-
ture. This consists of surface
soil with sufficient admixture of
sand and silt or clay. to be respon-
slve to tillage operations. Beneath
this surface soil should be well
drained subsoil capable of plant
food renwals, to upper soil, from
time to time.
2. Plenty of air, hence porosity
in the soil Potatoes must have
air, especially after the setting of
the tuDers during the period of
their maturity.
3. Plenty Of available plant food.
soils rich in potash with plenty of
vegetable humus-are usual
~ we'll supplied with all the other
desirable elements in available
form for the growing Of tubers.
/. A we'll fined and firmed, but
porous soil has an evenness Of tex
ture which enables it to receive
moisture and feed the same to the
potato plant, through capillariIy,
as its root system shall have need.
All earth-mulch at the surface pre-
vents 100 rapid evaporation of this
desired moisture, conserving this
essential for the growing plant
needs. Thus other essential requi-
sites are provided for that encour-
age a well developed root system
by means of which, the growing
tuber plant draws its sustenance
from soil and air.
). Deep plowing and thorough |
stirring of the soil at the proper
time, insures soil aration, so essen
tial in successful potato culture.
6. Careful, systematic seed selec-
ton, is all important in maintain
ing quality in potatoes. A seed plot
grown years crop, will furnish the
desirable quality of seed for next
years general field crop. A defin-
ale system Of using hill selected
seed pays rich dividends this year
from hill selected seed of last in
increased yield per hill and desir-
able type sought. Plant for seed,
the type and character of potato
you desire to market.
A tuber with but few and shallow
ayes, with skin free Of fungus dis
Eases which prey upon it, and of
ne form typical of its particular
reed. is the type of potato most
o be desired for seed. Unknown
grocery potatoes, runouts and culls,
must or should be discarded for
eed, if we would hope to improve
he crop or obtain satisfactory re-
ults in potato culture
z. A well ordered rotation of crops
: all important for potato success.
3Otatoes should not be grown, more
ran twice in succession on the Z
anne ground without rotation, to l
nsure freedom from fungus dis
'ases.
Place potatoes in the rotation Z
fter the legume crop which pays
-ou best to grow upon the farm.

these must enter into the scheme.
1t they cannot be grown, then some
other annual legume, a Canada
field pea. yetch, or bean, should be
substituted. The object is two
fold. First, these plants have
faculty Of converting free nitrogen
from the air into available plant
food. No other group Of plants
have this power, and if these are
left out Of the rotation the deficien'
nitrogen must be supplied in some
other form. Nitrogen is the most
expensive of all fertilizer constit-
uents The legumes offer the
cheapest source of supply. Second,
any farm where is conducted a
practical business-like rotation, in
Guiding the legumes, will be found
to have sufficient live stock to
consume nearly, if not all, the
crops of that farm, converting them
into concentrated finished products
and leaving practically all the fer
tility removed by the crops TO be
returned to the land in the form of
manure. This is the indirect de-
pendence referred to above.
The summer fallow farmer will
say that it is impossible to raise
a crop on the same land every
year. Last year on the college
farm five varieties of wheat made
an average of 47.S bushels per
acre. This on land that had not /
been summer fallowed for seven |
years and which raised a heavy /
crop Of field peas in 1910. Another /
field made fraction over fifty /
bushels per acre and raised peas
in 1910. This does not look as tho
the pea crop materially lessened
.he following wheat crop.
The substitution of the cultivat-
ed crop other than legumes, has
not lowered the grain yield from
he station. Wheat has made from
80 to Is bushels on land that was
in corn the previous year. Ii seem
Iuite possible then that good yields
If wheat may be grown in the
oalouse country without resorting

Quite bit of excitement was
caused by the school election Mon
day. There were two tickets in
the field and while the contest was
friendly it was none the less spir-
tied. Autos were whizzing over
town Just as if Shoshone was elect
ing the president of the United
States. S. E. Todd and j. l.. Fuller
were elected over John MeFall and
R. ]. Mcmahon by a small margin.
