An important mectink =" lux
Democrats Of the Eleventh district
is to be held at the Seelbach this
afternoon. The ostensible purpose
OF the meeting will be to come to
some agreement as to the division
OF the federal Offices among those
Democrats who have urged their
claims upon Senator-elect Ollie M.
James. But oil equal Importance
will be the discussion of the posi-
bility OF the Democrats and Pro-
gressives fusing against the Repub-
leans at the next county elections
in the Eleventh district.
The leaders of the Progressive
party have made signs which would
indicate that they are willing to
Join with the Democrats against
the Republicans il any grounds for
combination can be found. The
Progressives realize that alone they
are weak; and they oppose their old
allies OF the Republican party lar
more than they do the Democrats.
So il an agreement concerning the

The question of the Senatorial
race may be discussed at the meet
ing, but there ill be no attempt to
bind the members to support either
one candidate or the other. Ac-
cording to Z. c. Duncan. one of the
prominent politicians OF the Elev

OF sending Governor Beckham to

to handle.
The owner OF 50 acres will sell 10
to a good man, to he paid for chief
~ by work on his other 40.
The owner OF 40 acres will pay
out the land contract, furnish fruit
trees to set all into orchard, give
tenant a hve-year contract under
which he cares for the trees, has all
he can raise during the term. and
At the expiration Of the contract get
a deed for 20 acres Of developed
orchard. clear Of encumbrance. wat
TT right fully paid up.
The owner OF 100 acres will spend
500 in buildings and as much
more in paying for clearing brush
and getting in first crop. After
that the owners share Of crop goes
to pay for further Improvements
till all Is in cultivation. This deal
gives the tenant q cash job the first
season, and ought 10 start him well

A Cooperative Creamery.

Mr.. Carlton is seeking pledges
from farmers, for a proposed COOP
srative creamery for Jerome. When
we saw his paper he had 80 cows
pledged. He wants at least 800,
and with that many contracted he
says it will be an easy matter to in
stall a creamery to be paid for on
installments that a be met from
the income of the plant. Only pat
rons will be permitted to own stock.
Mr.. Carlton is an experienced
crermery operator.
In Wisconsin and some other
eastern states these cooperative
creameries are popular and success
full and yield the farmer better re-
turns from his herd than he can Sc
cure from a privately owned cream
cry.

The Seed Industry.

4 reader suggests that We form a
seed selling organization to handle
comparatively the seed grown on
the tract.
This looks like a good suggestion.
We could doubtless arrange with
some one to handle our seeds, and
ought to be able to make a good
start by supplying our local de-
mand. The writer would be glad
to give preference to homegrown
seeds raised by our neighbors, and
have no doubt that most settlers
would do the same.
If the people who have seed to
sell will let us know about it, We
will be glad to help organize a CO.
operative selling agency. We know
that alfalfa, white and red clover,
onions, carrot, cabbage and parsnip
seed are being tried out in a small
way on the tract. If this interests
you, write a line to the Farmers
Forum right away.

Import Pure Bred Cattle.

The Idaho Agricultural News
Letter Of August 9Th contains the
following:
Professor J. c. Kinzer, Assist
ant Professor Of Animal Husband
ry OF the University of Idaho, re-
turned last night from an extended
eastern trip, bringing a carload Of
pure bred Hereford, Shorthorn and
Angus cattle.
He started east four weeks ago
and visited the most famous herds
In Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, and
after examining these splendid
herds, Professor Kinzer selected
eighteen young bulls and heifers.
These animals are the best that
have been brought to the west and
are to be used as the foundation
OF a college herd which will furnish
the farmers of Idaho with the best
animals for breeding stock.
Among the Herefords are to be
fonnd one young bull and two heif-
ers from the well-known herd of
Jack Cudahy, of Kansas City; one
young bull and one heifer from Mr..
j. NJ. Curtis, of independence,
Kansas, and two heifers from the
Hazlett Herd of Eldorado Kansas.
One Shorthorn bull and three
heifers were purchased from j. R.
Tomson, Of Dover, Kansas.
From the Kansas State College
two splendid Angus heifers were
obtained. One is a full sister OF
the famous Symboleer, the Reserve
Grand Champion Steer of the Inter
national stock show at Chicago.
The University feels very proud
OF these fine animals, and the stock.
men OF the state are to be congrat.
ulated or being able to secure
breeding stock from them.
This is one of the many great
movements Of the University Of
Idaho for the direct aid and benefit
OF the citizens Of the state"

ing on a summer ". winter
pruning experiment for a number
of years, and the records show that
where summer pruning was reSorted
to, 4 material increase in the Weld
per tree was secured. The time Of
pruning during the summer, and
the amount Of wood removed has
influenced greatly the yield per
tree. In Our experiments We have
found that best results were secured
when the pruning was done after
the terminal buds had formed. ANY
fruit-grower can easily determine
when these buds have >et by exam-
lining the ends Of the twigs. Better
results will be secured if one will
wait until these buds have hardened
slightly. In many cases localities
in the southern part Of the state the
fruit growers should commence
summer pruning within the next
two weeks. The trees in the north
ern part Of the state viii probably
not he ready before the latter part
Of the month. The season has a
great deal 10 do with the formation
Of these buds.
A. stated before, the amount Of
wood removed will influence great
ly the yield per year. We have Sc
cured better results by pruning
moderate, cutting back from one
third 10 one-half Of the wears
growth. Do not cut away all Of
this years growth. The removal
OF a portion Of the current years
growth Is, to a certain extent. slim
ulating To the remainder Of the tree,
for the surplus food will be deposit
ed in the remaining buds, causing
them to swell to double their size.
This aids them in forming hoWerl
organs. Ii summer pruning l. done
during early summer, the flow Of
sap would have a tendency to force
out another terminal growth thus
destroying the main object the fruit
grower l. striving for-the forma-
ton Of fruit. Summer pruning, a.
a rule does not affect the present
years crop, but will have some bear
ing on succeeding crops.
