GOV. BLEASE PUTS
HIS STATE In HOLE
Cuts South Carolina Militia
Out of Federal Aid

Washington, D. c., July 2.-Members
of the South Carolina delegation in
Congress, accompanied by Brig. Gen.
Jones, of South Carolina militia, went
to the War Department today to talk
with Secretary Garrison about a re-
newal of federal aid to the oragnizo ed
militia of that state. The Secretary
informed his callers that if Gov. Bleasa
himself would make application for u
continuance of federal support ne
would consider it.
Because of the defiant attitude of
Gov. Blease the War Department re-
Gently announced that no further fed
eral assistance, either in personnel or
equipment, would be afforded the mil
fila of South Carolina. Department
officials declared at the time that Gov.
Blease not only ignored the standard
of efficiency in the state militia de-
manded under the Dick law as condi-
ton of federal aid, but has announced
that, as commander-in-chief of the
state volunteer forces he would Go
what he pleased, regardless of federal
authority.
Exchanges on the subject reached a
climax when the Governor wrote Sec
rotary Garrison that he did not want
federal aid and would be glad to have
it withdrawn. Then the order was is
sued Withdrawing from South Carolina
the federal aid given to organized mil
itiaSof all other states and territories
Since that time Gov. Blease has given
no intimation that he has changed his
mind, although the state militia au-
thorities are very much disturbed over
the situation.

BIRTHDAY DINNER PARTY

Miss Alice Chattin gave six
o'clock birthday dinner party last
Monday, the t. 1--WE almost forgot
that We promised not to divulge the
number Of the anniversary, and why
should we not, we did not even get
a bite of that birthday cake?) How
ever. the affair proved to be a
most delightful one. Covers were
laid for the following: Miss Rose
Skinner, Lillian and Sue Evans,
Esther White, Goldene Smith, Helen
Harmon, Miss Rising; Messrs B. e.
Award, Leo Spring and John Chat
tin. The dining room was decorated
artistically in green and white.
A huge birthday cake was the CEN
ter Of attraction and afforded cause
for much merriment. Imbedded in the
cake was Blarney Stone, thimble,
a ring, button and good luck en-
blem. When the cake was cut, which
went around twice, the winners Of the
hidden treasure were as follows:
Esther got the Blarney Stone, Miss
Skipper the thimble, Sue Evans the
ring, Lillian Evans the money, Hell
en- Harmon the goOd-luck emblem
and Leo Spring the button. The last
mentioned article we are inclined to
believe broke off Leos vest as a re.
suit Of over-indulgence.

FINANCIAL AID TO ~
KING HILL PROJECT
Land Board to Take Receiver Ger.
tificates to the Amount
Of $4,000

After being in session all the af-
ternoon yesterday for the considera-
ton of the King Hill. situation, the
state land board decided to take up
receivers certificates on the project
to the amount of $4,000 at once, and
$4,000 more later on conditiOnally.
Secretary Of State Clifford opposed
the loaning of any of the Carey act
funds in this way. He held that the
principle was wrong.
Receiver B. P. Shawhan appeared
before the board and applied~for $780,
200. He argued that this amount
was needed at once to put the irriga-
tion system in condition for the de-
livery of water to the settlers this
year. The water must be available
not later than April Is to insure good
crops, and as the canal must be con-
creted In places where the ground is
bad, he feels that there is no time
to be lost.
Attorney General Peterson took the
position the settlers should do the
work, taking receivers certificates
for their pay. AS much Of the work
is of such nature that farmers could
not do 1t, this was overruled. At
first it was proposed to lend but
$4,000 all told on the certificates, but
Receiver Shawhan refused to accept
this amount, and that If the land
board could not lend more than that
he would be forced to look elsewhere
for the money.
After the adjournment of the board
Mr.. Shawhan said it would still be
necessary to raise $4,000 addition
al at the banks or elsewhere. He
takes the position that If enough
work cannot be done at this time to
insure a water supply for the settlers
for the coming season that it would
not be good policy to expend an in
sufficient sum on rush orders. He
expects to get the needed money
and get the work started at once. /.

BREEDING POUL-
TRY ON THE FARM
The Hen Today One Of the Leading
Contributors to the National
Produce Supply

The common practice ON the farm
Is to allow the flock to all run to-
gether, good, bad and Indifferent,
which is all right only at breeding
time. The males should not be per-
mitted to run with the females only
at breeding time.
There are not many farmers who
sell eggs for Matching. They only
care tor enough Matching eggs to
keep up their own flock. BY the com
mon practice the entire flock is mat
I'd and eggs set from them just as
u happens. The average farm flock
IS OF no particular breed or type.
they are simply a lot OF mongrels.
The average farmer today breeds
his livestock. with the idea Of produc-
4ng better quality. He selects his
Dest females and then is very par
ocular about the size. The result
5 that better class Of livestock is
oeing produced all over the country
today than ever before. This same
progress will continue, for the farmer
realizes that to be profitable the
must be of good breeding.
The hen today lis one Of the lead
ing contributors to the great nation
al produce supply, yet she is the
most neglected. Ii the farm poultry
OF this country was properly bred an
cared for the egg production would
easily be doubled.
1t is far better to breed pure bred
poultry, but il the farmer is not In
ciined to practice pure breeding he
aad better at least select the very
Jest females that he has, all con
lorming as near to one type as Ia
possible and place them in abreedine
pen TOR his Matching eggs. A good
suggestion would be to buy good
male of whatever breed his hens
most nearly resemble and continue
such mating. and by SO doing build
up the quality of his flock, even
though they be only mongrels.

IRRIGATED AND NoN.iRRIGATED
FRUITS

The composition of irrigated and
nom irrigated fruits is the title Of
Bulletin No. rs which has just been
issued by the Chemistry Department
of the Idaho Experiment Station.
The claim is frequently made that
irrigated, in comparison with nonir
rigated fruits, are flat In taste and
less resistant to the influences which
effect decay. The basis for this claim
Is their supposedly higher content
of water and correspondingly lower
content of solid or dry matter and
therefore of the particular com
pounds upon which taste and body de
pend. The analysis which this bull
letin records were undertaken for the
purpose of providing something tan
gible by which the relative merits OF
normal fruits grown with and with
out irrigation could be judged
They are grouped under three divi'
sions: Drupaceous, pomaceous and
small fruits.
From the analytical data 1t ap-
pears that there is a fairly well de-
fined tendency on the part of the
stone fruits when grown IN non-irri.
gated sections to elaborate greater
percentages of solid matter. But
with the exception of Italian and
Petite prunes 1t is doubtful II the
differences found In acid and sugar
content are sufficiently great to ser.
iously affect taste.
A remarkably uniform composition
of the apple was found. The average
composition of 168 non-irrigated sam.
pies is: water, 1851; solids or dry
matter, 1893; insoluble solids, 3.19;
total sugar, 1884; acid, 1886, and
crude protein .2S3 per cent. OF 116
irrigated samples the average COM
position Is: water, 83.14; solids 1886;
insoluble solids, 2.66, total sugar,
1884 acid, 1872; and crude protein,
200 per cent. There Is very little
in the analytical data which can be
used in support OF the claim that the
irrigated apple is inferior in taste.
II, when stored under identical con-
ditions, 1t proves to be less resis-
tant to the agencies which cause de-
cay, a partial explanation might be
found In the character of the sev-
eral compounds which constitute It's
'insoluble solids" In persentage of
waste the irrigated has slight ad-
vantage over the non-irrigated.
With the exception OF Strawberries.
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1913-03-22

differences between the irrigated and
the non-irrigated small fruits In per-
centage OF solid matter and the sugar
which the solid matter contains are
very small. Differences In percent
age OF acid and OF crude protein are
more decided.
From general survey Of the analy
tical results, 1t seems that there Ia
a fairly well defined tendency for
fruits when grown In nonirrigated
sections to elaborate greater per-
centages of solid matter, sugar. acid
and crude protein. But differences
between the irrigated and the nonAr-
rigated in percentage composition are
SO small that we feel justified in the
conclusion that. as rule, no differ
ence In market value should be urg-
ed ON that score.
