munity. The special came In from
Pullman on time, reaching here at
7 q. m. sharp. Autos and buggies
were In waiting under direction of
Committeeman L. M. Harris, and
frisked the lecturers out to their
various appointments as soon as they
had completed a 7:3O breakfast. The
speakers were assigned to the follow
Ing appointments:
Grangeville.
Holden, Commercial Club room.
Farr. city schools.
Willard M McAllister, the DeArmond
ranch.
CarrollCrow, Mt. Idaho.
Haney-C Coglon, Cowgirl ranch.
Chamberlain Miller, Clyde Moffitt
ranch.
The time was too limited for COM
fort, but all of the speakers who
were seen reported good meetings.
In town Mr.. Farr addressed the
high and public school pupils in the
high school auditorium, and had a
most interesting meeting.
Prof Holden spoke to a packed
house at the Commercial Club room,
many being unable to get seats and
stood up around the wall. There were
quite number of ladies present.
prof Holden tho wbn
Iowa famous for corn, is not an or
ator, but is fascinating and enter
tanning as well as a most instruc-
tive speaker. The reason is he has
message for his audience, and in
stead of cropping about for something
to say, he has to cram and jam to
get his ideas before his audience in
the limited time allotted him. The
train kept whistling for him to come
long before he would consent to break
away.
He insists, as have other experts
who have visited US, that this Is
one of the greatest natural dairying
n this is AN ALFALFA COUNTRY,
4 par excellence. That there is no
cereal grown that will compare with
alfalfa in feed value, and that diver
sified and rotated crops on Camas
Prairie, with the extensive introduc-
ton of alfalfa, will revolutionize
things here, multiplying many times
the population, increasing the value
Of lands and products, keeping plenty
OF cash in constant circulation, in
stead OF having pay day once a
year as is the case where everything
goes to grain on the large farming
plan, and prosperous conditions in
general will result, with the grain all
utilized at home and shipped out by
The way OF fat cattle and hogs.
Prof. Holden says that while the
production of cattle and hogs is i'm
portant, they should not come in
ahead of the boys and girls. Hog
and cattle raising should be made

a prize boy or girl is far and away
more important than a prize hog, J"
and that this fact should never be
lost sight of.
Prof. Holden urges the putting in
OF silos, and says the silo made of
cement after the style of a large

insists that corn can be grown sue
cessfully here. This claim is veri-
iied by the experiments which have
oeen made among few of our farm
ers. D. E. Willard, the Northern
faclfic development agent, who was
with the lecturing force of the Hold
On party, brought in from the c. D..
peArmond place samples of White
fllnt and Paynes White Dent corn,
erown this season from seed which
nr. Willard shipped to him this
spring for experimenting with. They
we're GOOD, solid, we'll matured ears;
Nnat Mr.. Willard called good corn"
ne said to the Globe representative
~ the special train: Nobody need
Sa me they can't grow good corn
on Camas Prairie. These samples
are grown from seed that has never
Oeen acclimated; that will improve
efeatly after being grown here for
year or two."
iaKen all In all, the Holden Spec
- was splendid success, and would
aave done much more good had they
.ao more time. They went from here
