RAIN cloudy rest OF the belt, with hne
general rains in Central and Eastern
States Indications are for partly cloudy
and showery weather; also in eastern
part of Texas, and cool wave coming on

SAYS: Very hot weather covers the
staple are exploiting high temperatures
in Texas and Oklahoma as good reason
why the cotton market should continue
steady Wednesday and Thursday the
high temperature average for the state
of Oklahoma was 1902 degrees Hester,
day twenty-five Texas stations reported
high temperatures, ranging between lVO
and l06 degrees, seven of which were
104. Such temperatures, If sustained
many days, would, of course, play haYoG
with the crop as well as with the boil
weevil, but both States report periods or
even higher temperatures practlcaIy
every year, and for this reason talent
and trade alike refused to become eX-
cited over the hot temper ature talk yes

Some of the leading houses are holding

by cross breeds at the London sale at

combination in the wool trade, and the
effect is shown in the falling off in both
sales and shipments.

and Twin Falls was the original home
of the electrical business as built up by
the other company
1t is not yet known what will be the
terms of the franchise asked for, but it
is assumed that the rates will be ap-
proximately the same as those given in
other towns, which are low enough for
everybody to afford
Richfeld with the present population
isn't an exceptionally brilliant mark for
a big electrical company to shoot at.
Still, there is nice business to start
on, and a country that must grow very
much better and richer. If pumping
service should be installed to irrigate
the 1000 or 5000 acres of easily avail
able land on the butte north of town,
that would make fine summer mar
ket, and would get the lines out over
the tract so that light, heat and power
could be furnished for many farm.
There are many places less attractive
to big power company than Richfield.
1t is not expected that there will be
rivalry between the big new company
and the local light company. The new
comers will have current for power and
for heating as well as lighting, day and
night, and it has always been under
stood that the local steam plant, though
it is an especially good one and giving
the best of service for Lighting, would
not interfere with the franchise or the
encouragement of the others.

Fight for A Million Dollars
Shoshone School Board Sues For Auth UHGppOrtion-

alton valuation Of $1,000, 600, as com
pared with corporation value of 1925,
791 in Richfeld and about 100000 in
Jerome, with percentage Of rs, 2s and
8 per cent of corporations to the total
values in the three towns. A case now
pending in the supreme court has Wit
al bearing on this matter now at trial.
1t is to determine whether Carey Act
lands which have not yet been patented
by the government are legally subject
to taxation Most of the land around
Richfield and most of it around Jerome
is Carey Act land Most of the land at
Shoshone, on the other hand, is patent
ed; the old ranches along the river, and
always taxable. Should the supreme
court hold that the Carey land is not
taxable, this decision would not affect
the present Shoshone revenues more
than 2 per cent; but it would cut the
Richfield revenues about 45 per cent.
and the Jerome school revenues 10 TO
rs per cent. The corporation and town
property would still be taxable. but the
proportion is so small in the other two
districts that their schools would be
hopelessly ruined if their lands were
not taxable The commissioners figur-
ed that in view of this possible decis-
ion, and even if it should be decided
that the lands were all taxable, justice
demanded q division of the rich new
corporation territory on the east. Ac-
cordingly, they gave about S4OO,0 900 to
each of the districts. Shoshone seeks
to get it all by force.
1t has been reported that Shoshone
will appeal to the supreme court if she
loses in the district court; but as Judge
Fuller. the chief warrior in starting the
sUIs, .as defeated for reelection on the
senv board after they had started the
case, they may drop it if they lose the
first battle. AS the commissioners are
a real court of justice. the district court
is not likely to reverse their action ex-
cept on a mandatory point of law.

will have plenty of profitable feed. The
company is having good increase in
business over the past years, showing
that real farming is being carriedon on
a larger scale than ever.
Mr. Blake reports some exceedingly
profitable clover crops below Gooding.
One man cut the first crop last year for
hay, and the next was left for seed.
The seed yielded 10 bushels to the acre,
and sold for 15 cents pound, OF almost
SlO0 to the acre. Clover and alfalfa
seed is always ready money. and those
who have good seed to sell can have
their choice of any luxury that pleases
them best---diamonds, automobiles, SEN
atorships, banks, or what not.

Where Cooperation is Demonstrate,

Where Cooperation is Demonstrates
Let the farmer who would yearn
the possibilities in agriculture turn
TO Denmark for a lesson. And CO.
operate In Denmark's message.
Denmark is about one-fourth the
size Of Wisconsin. Much of it was
formerly a bleak waste on sand
dune. Only the eastern portion of
the country and the neighboring is
lands were considered fit for agri-
culture. In addition to its poverty
Ct natural resources, the country
was impoverished by the Napoleonic
wars in the early part Of the nine
teenth century. Practically all Of
its comerce was gone. The peasant
farmers were in a most pitiable con=
dition.
Today Denmark is essentially an
agricultural country. the wealthiesr
in Europe in proportion to popula-
ion. A nation about the size Of
Wisconsin's undeveloped area, it has
a larger population than Wisconsin
Cooperation was the agency which
lifted Denmark-co-operative bank
.ng, cooperative selling. cooperative
buying.
That is the message Of John E.
Sinclair of the Danish-American AS
sociation in Chicago. In an address
to the American farmer few days
ago Mr.. Sinclair told what Denmark
is accomplishing by cooperation.
"The fruits of cooperation, sad
Mr.. Sinclair, "are shown by the fact
that eighty-nine families out of ev-
cry hundred in Denmark own their
own farms and houses. And Just
note if you will, the size of these
farms On which these men are pres
