Moore, Idaho, Aug. 15.--Editor
Reflector: Any clouds in sight in
Kansas? No Well, then come up
to Lost River Valley, Idaho, and
sit in the shade of the mountains.
That will keep you cool in the day
time and then we have nice warm
fire in the evening and that will
warm you up enough to go to bed
comfortably. Last night was clear,
dry and down to forty and the ma
tives held their breath for fear of
frost and the whole valley is COW
cred with a wonderful growth OF
those famous potatoes all in full
bloom, regular flower garden. We
are in the Big Lost River valley and
it is a very interesting place from
a variety of observation points. II
is called Big Lost because there Is
a Little Lost on the other side OF
the mountains on the east of it, and
not because of its size, for 1t is just
great big garden, all laid out in
beds and fringed with herbs, flow
ers and straight rows of trees. This
Is not. from any native artistic taste
or love for the beautiful as you
might imagine, but from necessity
and by force of circumstances.
The valley runs straight north
and south and is shut in on the south
by the lava beds, a great burnt out
desert, and on the north by the Saw
tooth range. a rugged, snow crown
ed mass of rock 10000 feet or more
in elevation. The garden plot is
three miles wide and thirty-three
miles long, having about 100 square
miles of land with an even floor
slOping to the south with fall of
some 400 feet, thus setting It facing
the south breeze and sun, The val
ley has an elevation OF $500 feet and
is shut in on both sides by noun
tains frof 1000 feet in elevation
above the valley at the south, to
5000 feet at the north end.
Down from the north, at Moore,
where we are about in the center
Of the valley, come the river, the
two county roads and six
big irrigation bitches, all running
parallel down the valley in nearly
straight lines, and this Of course
accounts for the city platlike look /
IF the valley.
The net work of cross bitches ev-
,ry forty rods makes the cross

he fields which are about equally
'lanted in alfalfa, barley, oats,

'GYPTIAN WHEAT NOT

c. r Estes has a few sralks OF
Egyptian wheat growing On his
farm east OF 'tUwn that the 'drouth
has not affected in the least, and
he believes THAT the crop would
grow wen in Kansas The stalks,
similar to an ordinary corn stalk,
are perfectly green, and have had
neither water nor cultivation.
The seed was brought from Texas
where the grain is grown extensive
ly. 1t resembles corn. except that 1t
is not as tan, and the 1eWves are
broader. The grain grows in a.
1assel, and resembles shot after 1t
is threshed- The tasse1s grow out
again after they have been once
cut. and in Texas two crops are
raised. Mr.. Estes got 14O bushels
