More North Side Crops
Show Large Yield
Oats Run as High as ll6 Bush.
els to the Acre.

The report of the largest yield of
oats that has yet reached us comes
from the Wilson Bros, just south
east of town. They had about :
acres which was the first cropping
on alfalfa ground. They were
threshed out last week. and the yield
was truly remarkable. The ma
Chine measurement showed an av-
erage of 100 bushels of 81 pounds
each to the acre. During the thresh-
ing a bushel was taken out now and
then to get a fair average of the
yield. When these were placed on
the scales it was found that they
would weigh A pounds to the BUSH
el. This of course would somewhat
reduce the measured bushel per
acre, but when sold on a basis of 80
pounds to the bushel, which is the
legal weight for oats, it will be
found that the yield was a fraction
less than l16 bushels per acre.
No particular care was taken Of
this field above the ordinary atten-
tion, and in fact about an acre OF
it was badly lodged and some grain
lost in consequence.
These figures are authentic and
can he verified by the Wilson boys
at any time, who feel highly pleased
Mt the results.

MOST ENCOURAGING.

The monthly trade and finance
letter sent out by the National Bank

temher says:
In view Of the somewhat strained
credit conditions that have existed
throughout the United States
throughout the world, in fact-dur-
ing the last year, though now mend
ing, we think it timely 10 call attcn-
tion to the bounteous crops that are
being harvested throughout the in
ter-mountain country. They are tn,
truest prophets of good times, ant
guarantee a quick recovery from
such discomfort as may have beer
felt.
We have called for reports from
banks in all parts Of the Inter
mountain Empire, and not one wa
discouraged. Only a few mentioned

not one reported a complete failur'
in even a single crop; mot one feareC

and many said that there never ha'
been a season so prosperous. "
Relative to the Jerome district
the letter further states:
Crop conditions far better thar
ever before. Small grain acreage a
least 500 greater than in any pre-
vious year, and will show bette

SOME PASTURE STATISTICS.

The farmer operating the J. NJ
Stepp farm south of the city, has
made Il remarkable demonstration
in pasturing stock this summer
He has "A pasture of 9 acres divided
into two lots which are used alter
nately. During the summer this
9 acres has furnished an abundance
of feed for 32 head of cattle.
Under forced conditions it could
have kept 40 head in good shape.
The pasture was planted with a
mixture of grasses in which blue
and orchard grass predominate.
This experiment has demonstrated
that dairymen can secure an abun-
dance of feed from other grasses
than alfalfa, while the latter is a
heavy producer of winter feed T.

remarkable settlement and growth
that has taken place on the tract in
the last five years.
The idea met with some con-
siderable opposition at the begin
ming, but later carried and became
the finely developed system now in
operation.
As comparison, the story
accounts the inadequate little dist
trict schools in the light of the sue
cess of the centralized system. 1t
is shown that in the older eastern
and middle western states, where
no centralized system exists, there
are vast number Of small rural
schools with an average enrolment
of ten pupils, whereas in this county
with as yet sparse population COM
pared to older localities, the average
enrolment Is 10y the hundred.
Today,' the story concludes,
this seven-year-old city has in
place of the little red school house
a school system with an enrolment
of 1900 pupils, who receive their
education in three modern school
buildings gs-one of which alone cost
5000, 900 to build-and 800 of these
pupils are from the rural districts.

The Times acknowledges a very
pleasant call last Thursday from
Mr.. :. d Taylor, manager of the
State Carey Act department, who
was ON the tract looking up matters
pertaining to his office. Mr.. Taylor
took occasion last week to use con-
siderable newspaper space in some
of our exchanges, telling what he
said to Mr.. Alexander in a letter
over his signature. MIR. Taylor does
not give the causes leading up to
this letter. but since he has chosen
to go into print with the matter, OF
course it will be incumbent upon lis
to give a little history connected
with this question of patents, and
we assured MIR. Taylor that hi:
epistle would receive prompt reply
Our time has been SO occupied witt
other matters the past week that W,
have not had the time to devote t,
it, but our readers can rest assured
that the same will be given due at
tention.

CALL FOR SCHOOL ELECTION.

A. will be noted by reference to
the official notice published in
another column, the board of county
commissioners, in response to "A peti-
tion filed with them, have called
special election for Saturday, Sept.
9th, at which time the voters of
this school district will be given an
opportunity to vote on the question.
If making an independent district
of the present general school district.
1t Is not likely that any opposition
will he raised To this question, a.
there are So many benefits to be de-
rived from an independent district
over the present plan.
Considerable dissatisfaction has
manifested itself among the farming
element over the action of the pres
ent board in diScontinuing the
school wagons, and while the board
has provided additional school
houses several of the farmers have
provided their own conveyances for
bringing their children into the
town school, which has made the
attendance very light at some of
the rural schools.
With the formation of an indie
pendent district and the consequent
enlargement in the mherShip of
the board it is to be hoped that
some method may be worked out
whereby the wagon service may be
restored. There are not few q.
our farmers whose one great object
in locating here was the centralized
school system that had been adapted
and the opportunity ii gave for the
education of their children in til,
graded schools, and they naturally
feel aggrieved at being denied thi-
privilege, especially after being cal
led upon to vote bonds for the build
ing of the town school. 1t does not
follow that the present board is tC
be censured for the action taken
but in justice to the rural element
it is to he hoped that the origina
plan of supplying wagons may be
put in service again.
This hope is not only cherished
by the rural element but it is tl'
almost unanimous wish of the puSi
ness men of the town rs expressed
in a petition circulated last weel
which with one or two exceptions
was signed by every business mal
in Jerome. Probably no better ar
gument could he assigned for TIN
centralized school system than i
contained in an article written b,
Mrs. Dixon, of Twin Falls, an,
which is commented upon by tn
Capital News rs follows:
THE adoption of the centralize'
system, as set forth in Mrs. Dixon
story. has been a big factor in tn

That the loose method of handl-
ing grain is growing in favor
amongst the wheat growers of this
part of the state appears from the
report given out from the offices OF
the Oregon Short Line to the effect
that there is an unusual demand at
this particular time for tight cars in
which to ship bulk wheat. 1t has
been demonstrated that it is losing
proposition for the farmer to buy
sacks for his grain, especially at the
prices quoted this year, in comparl-
son to the bulk method, and 1t Is
believed that the farmers themselves
are beginning to see the advantages
OF the latter method.
According to the report the de-
mand for cars comes from the dry
sections of the state, and although
the crop to be handled is more thar
the ordinary, the Short Line eX'
poets to handle it without delay
The year on the dry farms in every
part of the state has been favor
able one, and phenomenal yields
will be the rule. Harvest of the
small grain is practically over ano
threshing is on in full blast.

INVESTIGATE THE TRACT.
Representatives of BondhoIders Spend
Several Days on Tract.

ISSUED against the North Side Tract
have spent several days lacking
over the tract sizing up the situation
from the bond investors vicwpoint.
They had il very interesting inter
view with the Directors Of the Canal
| Ser- Association in which the yari-
nus Interests We're carefully cnnsid-
cred. Some nf the remark made
by them were decidedly encourag-
ing and have special Significance lie
cause they come from experts Whose
business it is to thoroughly invest
gate such properties for investors.
MIR. Sheppard is an irrigation ex-
pert and familiar with most irrigA-
ton districts in this country.
TO representative of the Time
he said the South Side tract i~ the
recognized most successful irrigation
project in the United State~, but
that the North Side has a decided
advantage in our superior drainage,
which he says is Of much greater
Importance than most of Us realize.
The two fundamental errors made
on the tract, common mistake on
most projects were, first, permitting
settlers to come here too soon and
second, requiring payments too
soon.
He stated there is always trouble
at the start in getting "A project into
good working order. New bitches
always lose lot of their water, de-
livering only about 400 of their
initial flow to the farm and in ten
years about $3.50 of the water is still
lost in transit.
4 small area at the East end of
our tract where the water is started
should have been settled first, and
the next year settlement should
have covered a little further west
ward, so adding year by year only
such acreage as could be properly
served.
And then he said it is the uni
versal experience that a farm, irri-
gated or not, can not be depended
upon for crop returns inside of three
years, and no payments should have
been required until after that time.
These gentlemen stated that the
settlers must be put into shape t.
make their farms pay before the
bonds can be paid and that we need
have no fear about the completion
of our system including the Jackson
Lake storage, for if the present
Water Co. should fail to do it, the
bondholders have such vast invest
ments that they will he compelled
in self protection to put us in coed
condition to earn the money to pay
them.
They expressed themselves as wei
pleased with developments and have
r unouestioned faith in the future q
: the tract and that land owners neec
> but to be patient and hold on anc
they will come out in fine shape
If other bondholders feel as these
t people do, the settlers will have
l tn ir hearty cooperation in arrang
: ing for an extension of payments
: and there is no doubt that al
, arrangement 10y which land owner
