The Seed Industry
To be Given a Trial
Our Farmers Contract for $50
Acres Of Seed Peas.

On Monday OF this week Mr.. George
). Brown OF the Alfred j. Brown Seed
Co. OF Grand Rapids, Mich, called on
Mr.. Wagner for the purpose OF putting
out a small carload OF seed peas with the
North Side Ranchers.
The full amount OF the seed was con-
tracted in a very short time and the fol-
lowing is partial list OF the acreages
contracted for:
W. p Rice, 10 acres ;Towle Land Co.,
% acres; Wild Rose Ranch, Il acres
H. c. Cannon, Z acres; Bernard Still
well, Is acres; Irvine Mcconnell. 3 acres
NJ. J. Bridgman, II acres; Gould and
Churchman, 10 acres; :. K. Burckhalter,
20 acres; l.. W. Lynn, acres; F. f.
Beck, acres; William Johnstone, =
acres; r. H. Grfiiths, ) acres; VIM.
Wagner, 10 acres.
The contracts are similar to others
made with seed growers and the seed Is
furnished Tree TO the rancher and is de
dncted from the crop grown. The entirs
| crop is tne property Oh lhe setushiai
who pays from two and onehali TO thre'
cents per pound ior the crop delivered il
the fall. The lower price being for thu
broadcast crop and the higher one 10
the cultivator varieties.
MIR. Brown expressed himself vel
pleased with the outlook for seed 70
this section and should the crop prov
profitable 10 both parties concerned II
quite likely that the entire crop from tn
above acreage will remain here to b
planted here next year which shoul'
mean something like two thousand acre
for the next year.
Mr.. Wagner is still hopeful that ca
} OF seed beans can yet be secured for thl
season, which would mean an acreage {
about 800 acres.
The seed peas for Mr.. Browns con
tracts are now on the way, being part {
the crop grown by the Brown Co.
California last season.

$50, 900 for the purchase of dairy

s5O,O 900 for the purchase of dairy
COWS.
The loans will be made for a long
term of years at a low rate of inter
est while the cattle will be sold to
the farmers at little more than cost.
The plan is the outgrowth of the
experience of the last two years and
accumulation of alfalfa in all irrigat-
ed tracts of the state where the crop
has exceeded the local demand and
where the product cannot find its
way to the markets of the east and
return profit to the man who
raised it.
This company is not slow To rea-
lie the fact that in order To realize
from their investments the settlers
on their tract must be successful
and instead of attempting To intirn-
idate them into making their pay
ments and other charges, they are
ready to meet them half way, and
even better.
The example set by the Idaho
Irrigation Co. il most commend
able one, and if followed by som,
of the other companies, would d,
more to eliminate the prejudice
now existing against irrigated trac
10y people outside of the state, thar

WHO PAYS THE BILL?

Reference has been made To the
case of Syms-Iork Co, of Boise,
against the new commissioners of
Minidoka county for sending out of
the state for printing. The case
coming before Judge Walters, he
held that there had been no dis
elimination by the Idaho publish
ers against the county and that their
prices were not in excess Of those
charged To individuals; that the
commissioners should have ascer-
tained this fact before placing their
orders and that inasmuch as the
supreme court had held the law

But the perplexing question Will
the commissioners now is, who i
going to pay the bill? The books

OUR POTATO FARM.
Other Sections of the State Recognize
Its Importance.

1t is barely possible ihat the people OF
Jerome do not fully realize the import
ance of the government station here for
the study OF the diseases Of the potato
and other products, but the following
from the Boise Statesman OF recent date,
indicates the Importance of this matter
as viewed by citizens from other parts OF
the state
The eyes OF all the potato raising states
OF the country will soon be turned upon
Idaho, which has had the good fortune
to be made the experiment station for
the study of potato diseases, with an ap-
preparation from the government oi
$4,000 annually for the work. The
credit for the appropriation is due. Dean
Carlyle says, to Senator Borah.
After a thorough investigation of the
place in which to locate it, the depart
ment officials selected the station for the
investigation at Jerome, in Lincoln
county. The people in that section have
| uttut-Q ~ dtIt> vi ltilQ lpt lllt tAptii-
ment station and the Legislature has ap-
propriated at this session 5000 for the
erection oi suitable laboratories and
buildings in which to carry on the work.
The plans and Specifications for these
buildings are now being prepared 10y
Wayland 4 Fennel and the construction
will he commenced at the earliest date
so that investigations may be started as
soon as spring opens.
The experiment station means much
for Idaho and the potato industry, says
Dean Carlyle in speaking oi the station.
in the Greeley district OF Colorado,
famous throughout the United States for
its potatoes the industry has been prac-
tically annihilated owing 10 the preva-
lence OF the potato diseases and the vari-
ous districts of Idaho are threatened in i
like manner"
President Carlyle OF the Safe Univer-
sity, is expected in Jerome any day with
the plans and specifications for the build
ings which he has received from Wash
, ington. but which had to be slightly
modified tn come within the appropria-
ton. and the contracts will undoubtedly
lie awarded to our local contractors.

just rs good products, made IN
Idaho as are made in other states.
Think of it. If a hundred thous-
and women in Idaho ask for GER
tain product during Home Indus
try Week, ~ what an impetus IT will
give that business. If one-half or
even one-fourth of that number
continue to use that product, the
success of that manufacturer is
assured.
When one manufacturing indus
try prospers it transmits prosperity
to its neighboring industry. If
your neighbor makes money he will
spend part of it with you, and you
will both benefit. Every man and
every woman in Idaho can help
build up the state by purchasing
articles made in Idaho during the
week of April II to l9.
If home manufactured goodsare
satisfactory, continue to use them,
and you will be aiding in the up
building of Idaho by encouraging
its manufacturing industries.

MOST COMMENDABLE.

The Idaho Irrigation Co. is one
of the few companies of like ma
ture in the state that is alert to the
interests of the settlers on their
tract, and are ut all times seeking
to assist in any measure that will
enhance to the betterment of the
condition of those settlers. Realiz-
ing that, like other companies, they
brought the people ON the tract too
soon, and that the payments could
not be met according to contract, it
was only recently that arrangements
were made to extend the time of
those payments for five years, in
order that the settler might use this
money for further development oi
his land.
With the thousands of tons oi
surplus alfalfa raised on the tract
they saw the necessity of devisinl
some means for disposing of thi

ADJOURNED.

The clocks in the Legislative halls
were stopped at 10 O'Clock Satur-
day night and the 18th session of
the Legislature was supposed to have
come to close, although the final
adjournment did not take place un-
til Sunday, and even after the CAV
el had fallen for the last time and
some members were on their way
home, some one happened TO think
that the tax levy bill had not been
passed, and general stampede was
made to get the members together
again, that this measure might be
passed.
What was once known as the
Ryan utility bill was passed at the
last moment, but with so many
amendments attached To it that the
original bill would scarcely be rec
ognized. The bill as passed, how
ever, is considered very merito-
rious one and will be of much bene-
fit To the people of the state.
BE il said to the credit of tn,
legislature, they have enacted few
good laws, but on the whole tn,
record is such that no member hai

1t is not the province of the peo-
pie OF the North Side tract to glory
in the downfall of any achievement
sought by any of our neighboring
tracts, but the fact that the Twin
Falls delegation in the Legislature
could only muster a few votes for
their agricultural college after prov
ing traitors to the North Side and
trading us off for their pet measure,
is not looked upon as such n serious
calamity as to bring forth many
copious tears from the residents o
this section.

came state, and it is now pro-
posed to commemorate the same by

their brains to ascertain wherein
the name Idaho originated but t.
no avail, the only solution to the
matter being that some Indian
chiefs daughter bore this name.

GET TOGETHER.
and Surroundings will do
well to Heed.

A mass meeting Of the citizens OF
Jerome and vicinity was called to
meet at the city hall last Saturday
evening to discuss recent measures
passed by the Legislature. 1t was
not meeting for the purpose Of
Icensuring any community or indi-
vidual, and no animosity was shown |
toward any one. 1t was called for
the purpose Of enlightening our
citizens upon the history Of the
various measures that have passed
the legislature having a direct bear
ing upon this community.
The meeting was presided over by
IL. NJ. Hall, who. after briefly stat
ing its objects, called upon Mr..
Ralph Schneelock, to address the
meeting. Mr.. Schneelock having
been present in Boise during most
OF the session, and directly inter
| tSttti III ocNcldl uicdoul CO was III q
position TO familiarize himself with
the history OF the various bills pre-
sented bearing upon this particular
locality and his reiteration Of the
schemes resorted to proved very in
teresting to the large number pres
ent.
Instead of censuring other locali
ties for the activity they displayed
in getting their measures enacted
into law, he considered that the
fight on county division was the
best thing that ever happened to
this section, as in the committee :
research for statistical Information
they unearthed matters which tend
ed TO show the apathy this section
has heretofore shown in county
matters, and especially so in the
matter of the equalization of taxes
-, That while this section was being
taxed upon a valuation Of from S3l
to $50 on new land, other section,
of old Lincoln county were payini
upon a valuation Of s24 for old ano
: highly improved farms.

THE MACHOLD CASE.


in which he is known, the press re-
ports of the investigation into the
Machold case has been read with no
particular interest by our citizens,
but if the conditions are such as are
reported by those who are person.
ally acquainted with the circum-
stances, then great injustice has
been done, and the legislature has
put another shameful blot upon the
state.
Like many another settler, Mac
| hold came to Idaho with small
means and settled on an irrigation
project near Blackfoot. He was
unable to make his payments, and
as result foreclosure proceedings
were commenced, but in the mean
time he procured the money and
rendered it to the Judge of the court
who was hearing the case, who ac-
cepted the same, and it is charged
used it for his own use allowing the
mortgage To he foreclosed.
. This seemed to be the beginning
, of the trouble, as Machold brought
: suit against the Judge for an ac-
counting Of the money, but the
! Judge retaliated 10y charging this
man with insanity, and was sue
cessful in having him sent To the
asylum at Blackfoot.
Through petitions signed by hun
dreds Of his influential friends,
> Machold succeeded in having hi,
j case brought before the Legislature
y for investigation. AS soon as this
c became known this same judge tool

Explains Turtle Serum.

New York, July 1O.-Dr. R. c. Ramband of New York city, medical director of the institute operating the Friedmann pro- cess for the treatment of tuber- culosis, announced today that the "vacine consists of home peneous emulsion of live and vlr- ulent tuberculosis germs ln dlS- titled water.
 The germ was isolated several years ago from turtle and maintained ever since by trans planting on culture media, ac- cording to the usual procedure. The vaccine is administered to patients in doses of from cubic centimeters, 0.10 to cubic centi- meters 0.30 at intervals of from four to six weeks.
 'Injections are made intra- venously in the case of joint tu- berculosis,' he says. Any phy- sician in good standing is vel come to familiarize himself with the details concerning the ad- ministration of the treatment, that he may be able to use it principally on his own patients.'

To Check March of Boil Weevil.

Washington, Mo, July 9.-In a desperate effort to stop the on- ward march of the cotton boil weevH, Senator Smith of Caro- lima has, devised a plan whereby the federal government will out line to the farmers of the South certain territory which must not be planted in the coming year and the federal treasury will see to it that the farmers sus- tain no pecuniary losses by req son of the order.
 Senator Smiths plan is said to have received the endorsement of Senator Kern, the ajority leader.
 The boil weevil migration is slow, the pests spreading from field to cotton field and virtually touching no other vegetation. By the interposition of territo- ry barren of cotton, Senator ] Smith believes the advance could be checked.
 The weevil is said already to have swept over Texas, Louis jana, Oklahoma and Arkansas, and now is threatening to in- wade Alabama, Florida, the two Carolinas and Virginia. The neutral strip, scientifically laid out in the path of progress ot the pests, would effectually pro- tect these states, in Senator Smiths opinion. Congress prob ably will be asked to take action this session.
