country is little small than the
two Vilginias, and its population in
that day was only one half.larger.
The London of that day was some,
thing like Boston, Baltimore or st.
Louis. Even down to the time of
our Revolution England easily fed
her people from her own soil, and
built her ships from her own forests.
Consequently, the number of people
in Europe was in itself a question
of no practicle Importance in caus-
ing emigration to America.
But we are sometimes told that
Europe has now more people than
! it can support from its own soil.
Several of its countries indeed 60 to
other lands to buy flour, meat, and
other food products. Why they
do not entirely feed themselves IS
simply because they make no effort
to do so. Out of each 100 acres
of English soil, only 3 acres are
given to the wheat crop, and very
few acres more are given to other
tillage crops. The remaining ground
not in pasturage lies idle, partly
tina British aristocrats may amuse
themselves in chasing foxes and
shooting pheasants.
To illustrate this point q little
further.
Suppose ninteen-twentieths of the
people of Highland move into the
the county-seat to work in mills and
factories. Would not the one
twentieth have to step around very
lively, in order that one man might
supply the other nineteen with flour,
meat, dairy products, poultry, veg
etables, and fruit, to say nothing OF
any hay for the draft horses? In
fact this could not be done, even
with half of our modern machinery.
A large supply of the food supply
would have to come from other To-
calities, while at the same time a
very large share of the land here
would be going back to the condi-
ton of forest. This is exactly
the case with our State of Rhode
Island. It is also very much the
case with the manufacturing count
ries of Europe. They neglect their
farms so as to give greater attention
to their workshops. Even those
people who do farm have to pay
enormous rents. We read of a ia
mine in Ireland about Is years ago
which caused several hundred thous-
and of the people perish. Yet this
was largely because the Irish were
held hown to the starvation point,
so that the landlords might reyel
in luxury in distant cities. To pay
their rent, the people could not az
ford to live on the grain and meat
they produced, but were driven to
exist harder, other employment
than farming was not freely premit-
ted in Ireland.

! The Joint committee of fruit grow
ecrs from Emmett, New Plymouth
Fruitland and Pay6tte recently ap-
pointed to confer regarding co-opeFa.
tive methods in handling fruit in
Payette Valley, met at the office OF
Secretary Harader Of the Payette
Commercial Club On Saturday ate--
noon.
The meeting Of tae committe was
devoted solely TO adopting a plan

in the valley and individual grow
ers who pack their own fruit, could
be induced to adop. a standard grade
and pack. To ado.t rules and regula-
tions for this a committe consisting

PLAN To KILL CARP
IN IDAHO STREAMS
Novel Plan Adopted to Rid Streams
and Lakes of Washington and leah
of Carp-WaIl-eyed Pike to be
Introduces.

( Why not introduce the walI-eyed
pike into some of the streams near
Payette which now are infested with
the undesirable German carp in order
to exterminate the carp? This plan
is suggested in a communication sent
out by the Inland Empire Game Pro
tective and Propagation associa' ion o:
Spokane Wash.
The carp is a cannibaI and scav-
enger-an undesirable denizen o.
the lakes. 1t is not a game fish,
but a loafer and pirate. The ex-
perts say tnat the carp annually des-
troy millions of game fish eggs.
Hence it is deemed advisable by
the Inland Empire association TO
propagate a few million eggs Of
the wall-eyed pike. A grown pike
likes a carp about as much as pig
likes a snake. At the same time
the pike is a game fish and will
fight the angler to the finish be-
fore being landed.
A well-Gefined campaign has been
outlined to rid the lakes Of East
ern Washington and Northern Idaho
of carp by introducing the pike.
Application has been made to the fish
cries department at Washington for
100, 1000 wall-eyed pike eggs as
starter. These eggs will be placed in
the sands along the shores of Dia-
mond lake, a short distance from
Spokane, and the outcome of the
experiment will be awaited with
interest by fishermen.
In the vicinity of Payette there
are streams and sloughes where carp
are abundant to the exclusion OF
the black bass and trout. In the Lake
of the higher attitudes there are
few carp and there the rainbow trout
is able to take care of himself.

COUNCIL INVESTIGATES
POWER POSSIBILITIES
Arfanses for Hydraulic Survey Of
For:y Nine. Slough to Determine
Power Possibilities for Pump
ing Plant.

1 At an adjourned meeting Friday
evening Of last week the city coun-
Gil took up the proposition of ascer-
tainign definitely the amount OF
power to be obtained in forty nine
slough. For some time the council
has had under consideration the estab
lishment of a power plant for city
street lighting and water pumping
purposes On this slough in which the
city has a perpetual water right Up
to this time no definite survey of
the slough to ascertain the exact
amount Of power available has been
made That there is power there
is considerable quantity all are aware
but just what it would be at all
stages OF the river none know. The
council authorized City Clerk Luther
to communicate with Ex-City Engi-
neer Baldwin, of Boise, who is
hydraulic engineer of wei known
ability and have him come and ascer-
tain the facts
At present the city is renting its
power for pumping but should inves-
tigation reveal the fact that suffic-
lent power can be secured at all
stages of the river from forty nine
slough it is probable the council will
establish a municipal power plant. 4
