OPENLY BLAMES GRAFTERS FOR
MRS. YOUNG'S GUSHING
Margaret Haley, business agent of
the Chicago Teachers Federation,
openly charges that a ring of graft
ers were behind the ousting of Mrs.
Ella Flagg Young as superintendent
of schools.
Miss Haley's charges further drag
the Hearst-Harrison machine into
the mess. She claims that William
Rothmann of the school board was
Mrs. Young's bitterest enemy be-
cause she refused to. fire teachers for
political reasons.
'Rothmann also wanted to get
control of the teachers pension fund
and to this end had Frank Ryan go
down to Springfield and try to put it
through the legislature"
Ryan is the Hearst man
who did the fighting against an ap-
preparation with which to-inVestigate

VIRGIN CROP.

.As a virgin crop for raw sage
brush land, alfalfa stands foremost
among the legumes because of it,
marked influence upon the growth
and productivene~s of succeeding
crops. says II. F. Fushnurn, assist
ant chemist AT the Idaho expert
ment station. Sage brush land lS
usually rich in potash and phoS-
phoric acid and poor in nitrogen
(organic matterD Alfalfa appear'
to correct the lack of nitrogen by
the cultivating effect of lis wonder
full root system, but the belief tina
it adds large amounts of nitrogen Il
the soil for other crops is erroneous
Exhaustive studies have shown tina
although it is capable of manufac
turing its own nitrogen when TIN
element is lacking in the soil, II
also great feeder on nitrogen an
, deposits very little excess OF -oluhl
I nitratcs. Therefore the henetici;
effect of alfalfa seems due, not :
much to the addition of nitrate
hut rather to the loosening and pel
ctrating effect of its roots, and
whatever organic matter may +
It main in the roots.
1t should he borne in mind th
Il while it can supply its own nltroge
10 il must, as do other crops, get
Il potash and phosphoric acid fro
L. the soil.

DEATH ON RABBITS.

Here is the Government receipt
for exterminating rabbits, gophers
and other pests:
Strychnine, ounce.
Sacharine, ounce.
Dissolve in J gallon hot water.
Dissolve ] pound cornstarch in
two gallons of hot water and mix
the whole, which will be paste in
form.
Poured upon hay or roots, rab-
bits will eat it readily and will die
quickly. Andy HORT killed over
800 rabbits in two days with this
poison. He put feed covered with
it ON the fences where the rabbits
were accustomed to cross. Care
must he taken not to permit stock
to get the poison.

been making their living raising
wheat. They state that their lands
are worth from thirty to thirty-five
dollars per acre and many farms
have been sold for larger amounts.
Along the same line the Ameri
can Falls press says number OF
things about dry farming in that
section of the state that may not he
generally known. In the first place
from March . to November u,
1912, 20, 800 acres were proved up
on before the local United States
commissioner. The Press further
states that before the first Of the
year more than a township Of land
will have passed from the govern
ment to private ownership. 1t also
claims that Miss Mary Williams
sold her quarter section for Sc, 300
spot cash. But here came the top
notcher. One Oscar Dawell is al
legged to have produced 900 bush
els Of wheat, 100 sacks of potatoes,
| ton cabbage, 100 sacks of car
rots, pumpkins and other products
too numerous to mention from lGI
acres vi dry land. That is going
some for land without drop ui
water except that from the heavens
and that in arid Idaho too. Dry
farming has certainly proven sue
cess in southern Idaho since til,
farmers learned how to do it. Jus
think. You 60 out in the spring
and plant your wheat. You return
to town or 60 to the sca-hore. You
, return to the. farm in the fall an'
r harvest your crop. The thrc-lin
outfit comes along and YOU iigur

An Organization Perfected.

In response to call made IN these
columns last week. ior 4 ameeting oi those
interested in shipping cream, quite
number oi our dairymen gathered at
IIales Hall last saturday To discuss the
feasibility of organizing an association
for handling the cream shipped from
this point.
At the present time there is consider
able cream shipped from this place, there
is no great amount shipped by any one
nrrsnn and the shipments are divided
among several creameries. and as con-
sequence the shippers are at the mercy
oi both the creamery and the railroad
company. 1t WAS thought that with
consolidation of all those who are ship
ming cream. more uniform price could
he obtained. and perhaps more favor
able rate could he obtained from the
railroad.
Acting upon this suggestion,an organl-
zation was perfected at this meeting to
he known as the Cooperative Cream

follows:

SEED TESTING LABORATORY.

\ seed testing laboratory Is being
installed in the Capitol at Boise
which will he prepared after Janu-
ary 1st, 1913, to test seed gram,
grass seed and garden seed, for all
persons in southern Idaho, who
desire such tests to be made.
During the past few years large
amounts of foul seed grain have
been distributed wholesale and re-
tail throughout this state. Previous
to 1912 the sale OF seed grain was
not regulated by law and a con-
-eouence those states which enforc-
ed pure seed legislation, made Ida
mo the dumping ground for all seed
grain which was prohibited from
sale elsewhere.
Last wear an act was passed so
: severely restricting the sale OF mn
nure seed that it was impractlcable
: to conform to its requirements and
= impossible with the meagre appro-
nriation of $1,000 made for the work
: to carry on efficient inspection. Al
10 the coming Legislature ii Is hoped
n hy all concerned that several needed

y made and that more funds will bt
