TO Twin FALLS FARMERS
Communication From the Secretary of
the Commercial Club.

The Twin Falls Commercial club is
business organization that has done
| more for the advancement of the Twin
Falls country, than any other factor
1t is very largely supported by the
business men of Twin Falls, although
we have on our membership list some
| of the most progressive farmers in the
| county. The officers of the club this
year are:
Vice President, c. e. belong of the
Boyle Commission Co.
Directors-L T. Wright of the c.
w. & M. Co.; G. o. Longley, attorney
T. G. Macauley, of Macauley Bros
Geo. Wiley, of Skeels-W Wiley Drug Co.
G. R. Scott, physician.
All Of them very busy men, yet give
two afternoons month of their time,
for your benefit You have been
blessed with good crops this year,
while other sections of the country
have been stricken with drought The
club wants to make this fact known
through its new literature that is I'M
der preparation, but we are lacking
in facts. We hear rumors of 81 bushel
wheat, of 30 bushels being raised in
the last three years from one acre, SO
bushel peas, heavy yields of alsike
clover, but we do not use rumors
when facts are so easy for you to give.
Will you not take time to write us on
postal card over your signature,
these rumors and transform them to
facts, that we can use. We want to
help you, Mr.. Farmer, and are willing
to give of our time and money to do
So but you must give us knowledge
of what you are doing. The doors of
the club are always open, and you are
very welcome to come in and tell the
secretary all about your good crops,
and sign the statement in our office.
TO give you some idea of what we are
doing for YOU and the community as a
whole will say that we are just now
in correspondence with concern
whose business it is to secure for
such manufactures as
they need, and we need anything that
will convert our raw materials into
the finished product. Within three
weeks party will be here to investi-
gate fruit cold storage proposition
We are in touch with the National
Wool Growers association in regard to
getting in large bands of sheep to con-
sumo our alfalfa, we have a straw
berry proposition now to submit to
our small tract men, at a meeting
,alled for next Saturday at the club |
We have been looking up potato mar
Sets and find potatoes selling in Los
ANGELES at $140, freight rate soc per
90 pounds. Our business men think |
hat we are doing more for you than |
or them who support the club and it |
S true, but they are big enough and |
)road enough to realize that as the |
grows, so will the city, and |
We have more inquiries about land |
han we have about car shops or wool |
N mills. Now, if you really want to
lelp this good work along, write |
etter to your back home" paper that |
you are still taking, or to some friend, |
elling about this country, from your
view point restricting yourself to
acts that you know to be facts and |
bring us a copy of the paper con-
aiming your letter. This line of work
beats anything the Commercial club. |
Or any other medium can do for you
Try it, You are most cordially invited
20 become a member of the club, farm
ers dues are $500 per year, but we
can get along without your money, but
we cannot without your collaboration.
