OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR BANNER CROP
Season 10 Favorable and Fruit Trees
Are In Good Shape for
Coming Season

The outlook for a banner crop Of
fruit was never better. The warm
weather has been held back suffi-
ciently to insure the fruit buds from
killing frosts.
Orchards are now budding out and
in few days will be in full bloom.
The season has also been most fav-
orable to all kinds OF grains. The
snow melted and has been absorbed
by the ground, which together with
late rains will aid materially to in
sure success to those who have ven
tured into dry farming.
There are several hundred acres
sown to grain in this vicinity which
is depending entirely upon the mois-
ture conserved In the ground and
what rain fall we may get for ma
turing a crop and If present indica-
tions Can be relied upon we will
have an abundance OF all kinda Of
fruit and grain.

TREE PLANTING

Planting should be done while the
trees are dormant. or Just as they
start In the spring. II planting can
not be done as soon as the trees
are received they should be healed
In, In cool, shady place In moist.
mellow soil. The shade will prevent
the trees from starting too soon.
Never allow the roots to become
dry. All bruised or broken roots
should be cut off. Great care should
be used to protect the hairlike roots.
these are the feeders, while the large
strong roots are the skeleton or an
chorage tor the tree.
In broad leafed or deciduous trees
the tops should be pruned off accord
ing to the amount OF root system. II
the root system is poor, prune the
top vigorously. II can be pruned
down to mere stub with only one
or two buds above ground.
Evergreen seedlings should not be
pruned. Evergreens die as soon AZ
the roots become dry on the outside.
When the roots are not surrounded
with ball of earth, they should be
put In water, puddled mud, or healed
in as soon as taken from the shipping
package. During planting the roots
OF evergreens, which are not eur
rounded with soil, should be kept In
q pail of thin puddled mud. Never
leave the roots exposed to the sun or
wind. The puddled mud adheres to
the roots and makes better soil con-
tact.
In planting the depth and width Of
the hole should correspond to the
actual size OF the root. The
tree should be set one or two inches
deeper than it originally grew, 90
that 1t will adjust itself to the set
ting of the soil or frost-heaving.
The roots should be spread out AZ
they grow and the dirt carefully fill
ed in and packed solid around them
The top or surface should be cover
ed with loose soil which acts as
mulch. II the soil is dry p little
water should be poured In before the
loose earth is thrown over the top,
but do not water 30 much that q
puddle is formed around the roots az
the soil is liable to crack away from
them when it drys out. A good plan
in a dry region is to fill the hole
with water and let 1t soak away be-
fore the tree is set out.
To get good results I'm tree plant
ing all livestock should be kept away
from the trees and they should be
cultivated the same as an orchard.

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
MORMON CHURCH
Representative Was Here Last Sun
day and Looking Over
the Situation

Mr.. w. T. Jack. Of Oakley, Idaho
and president Of the Cassia Stake
was q visitor in the city last Sun
day looking over Mountain Home with
a view of organizing a branch of the
Mormon Church, and erecting meet
ing house and gathering in of scat
tered members and to encourage col
onization.
In an interview with the Republi-
can editor Mr.. Jack stated: Il have
been informed that there are num-
Der Of people living at Mountain
Home who were formerly members
of our church and have lost their
identity with the church but who
would in all probability be glad to
have the organization come to this
locality. In the Cassia Stake there
are nineteen wards, and fourteen
branches with total Of 5000 mem
bers. The organization affords splen-
did opportunities for the young men
to get themselves established.
In the event Mr.. Jack decides that
this place affords the proper advan-
tages for colonization, which We be-
Meve he does from what we gather
ed from his remarks, the settling up
OF the vacant land around Mountain
Home has been solved.

CAR LOAD SHIPMENTS OF ELEc'
TRIO RANGES
Recent Reductions In the Price Lead
to a heavy Demand for the
Modern Culinary
Methods

The first car load shipment Of elec-
trio ranges that was ever made in
this country is due to arrive in South
ern Idaho direct from the Simplex
Electric Heating company's factory In
Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the
present week.
The wonderful advance that has
been made in Idaho in the general
use of electricity for cooking pur-
poses is nothing short of marvellous.
1t is claimed on good authority that
more electric ranges are in use I'm
this state than in all the New Eng
land states together. This condition
is due both to the low rates being
charged for electricity by the local
companies and to the progressive up
to-date class of people which COM
prise the population.
1t is a we'll known fact that elec-
tricity for cooking purposes cannot
be excelled. 1t is thoroughly clean,
safe and reliable, and where attrac-
tive rates are Obtainable is far more
economical than fuel. A large num-
Der of electric ranges have been In
constant use In Southern Idaho dur
ing the past three or four years, and
they have fully demonstrated their
worth. It cannot but be source Of
pride to people living here to realize
that they are so we'll abreast Of the
times. 1t is probably true that south
ern Idaho is being more widely adyer
tised today and is becoming better
known throughout the country ON ac-
count of it's cheap electricity than for
anything else.
A loacl representative of the Power
company advises that orders have al
ready been taken for most Of the
ranges in the first shipment, and that
the company expects to sell all of
them soon after the car arrives.

THE IDAHO SOIL MANAGEMENT
LEAGUE

In the Practical Agricultural course
in soils 1t was found time after time
that things came up in the way of
local problems in soil management
that could not be treated in a general
way. In considering 1t one day it
was remarked that those who wanted
to solve such problems should form
themselves into an association to
work in conjunction with the soils
department of the University. Act
ing upon this suggestion the Class
of 1915 in Practical Agriculture met
the day after the class In soils dis
continued and formed an organization
which was named the Idaho Soil Man
agement League.
The purpose of the league is to
carry on experiments in the co-opera-
ton with the Soils Department In
the management of individual types
of soil in the state. The University
cannot have substations on all diff
ferent types Of soil and cannot It.
self carry out experiments on all OF
them, but it can suggest experiments
that will be helpful and also plan
the experiments and direct the car
rying out of them. In this way the
people of the state can be benefit
ted in two ways. They can be ben
efitted directly by having their local
problems taken up by trained exper-
imenters and they can be benefited
indirectly by getting at their agri.
cultural college, instruction in the
things that relate directly to their
soils.
The membership Is limited at pre-.
sent to the members OF the class that
formed the association; but their con
stitution says that anybody who
wishes to take up the work that II
is planned the league shall undertake
is eligible for membership; and 1t is
planned. especially to invite all sue
ceeding classes in Practical Agricul
ture to become members when they
enter school. In this way 1t II
sought to enlarge the league until
it shall be carrying on experiments
on all types of soil In the state
The adaptability Of soils to various
crops will form a prominent part ol
the work.
The following are the officers who
are elected to serve for one year.
President, Alton Bolts, OF Caldwell.
vice-president, G. e. Meyer O
Whitebird.
Sec. treas, C. e. Winther, o.
Grangeville.
The Professor OF soils in the Un
iversity of Idaho was made ex-offl
clio Corresponding Secretary.
Several experiments have alread!
been planned, some in the semiarit
parts of the state and some I'm the
sections OF heavier rainfall. OF courss
for the beginning year only q few
members are in the league and the,
adjourned before having time to plar
experiments and consequently tht
work will not cover very wide
scope the first or perhaps the second
year; but year by year as the worl
covers a wider and wider scope, II
is believed that the organization can
be of inestimable benefit to the far
mers of this state.
