BUMPER WHEAT CROPS
Dry Farmers in Eastern Idaho Will
Have Big Yields.

Confirmation of reports that in all
sections of Bannock county there
would be bumper wheat crops this
year are being received from outlying
districts. Following recent heavy
rains, which were general through
out this section, farmers are wear
ing smiles as broad as their
acres. Dry farm wheat yields of over
40 bushels per acre will be the rule
rather than the exception in this coun-
ty this year. One wheat grower, An
drew Thacker, of Robin, will this fall
harvest $4,000 bushels of grain. His
yield will be better than 40 bushels
per acre, even if not another drop Of
rain falls this year.
Forty bushels per acre on dry farms
is going some. The average for Idaho
in the period from 1890 to 1909 was
23.7 bushels; the average for the Unit
ed States during the same period was
1873 bushels. In 1910 there were only
345, 900 acres in dry farm wheat, This
year there will be over a million acres
in Idaho.
In 1911 Bannock county was first
in the entire state in the matter Of
high average yield per acre on dry
farms. Last year it fell to second
place. This year, unless all signs fail,
it will again mount to the top.-Poca-
tello Tribune.

Will INSPECT
RIVAL ROUTES
State Commission Want Per-
sonal knowledge
WILL COVER TRAIL FROM BLISS
TO CITY JULY 21.
State Highway Commission Handi-
capped for Funds With Which to
Carry on Work.

Handicapped for want of funds the
state highway commission found itself
unable to make definite moves yester-
day in the way of appointing a road
engineer and in blocking out work
tor the immediate future.
1t did, however, make ARRANGEMENTS
10 investigate the state road that is to
run through Shoshone and Kootenai
counties, as link in the transcontin-
entail highway, joining this great road
III Montana on the east and Washing
ton on the west. State Engineer King
Will leave for the north Immediately
by way of New Meadows to Grange
vile and VIII inspect the proposed
route for the north and south highway
as he goes. From Grangeville he will
go into Lewiston over one of the i'm
portant roads of that section of the
state, and will then go to Wallace
where he will be joined by President
Turner from Pocatello and Professor
Little from the University of Idaho at
MOSCOW. Together the three will in
spect sections of the proposed road
that they could not inspect when they
were last in that section because of
the deep snow and high water.
Another trip that was decided upon
at yesterdays meeting was that oy
the whole commission from Boise to
Twin Falls overland for the purpose
of inspecting the proposed state road
to unite these two points. This trip
will be made about the middle of July.
Until the 100000 issue of bonds
provided for by the legislature can be
disposed of the commission feels that
it can do but little in the way of actual
road construction, and is forced to
confine itself to preliminary inspec-
tionS.
The outlook for the sale of the
bonds in the east is not considered
bright, and it is limited that a project
is on foot to dispose of them here in
the state. Just what the plan is has
not yet been made public.
Up to date the automobile license
tax has yielded approximately S27, 900
and this amount does not justify the
undertaking of important construction
work. There are five dead-head au-
tomobiles on the list up to date-three
owned by the state and two owned by
the city of Boise. Under the terms of
the law these are not taxable. The
average license on the others is not
far from $15.-Statesman.

AGENT GETS SETBACK
opinion OF Supreme Court of Interest
to Real Estate Agents.

Relations between real estate agents
were discussed at some length in an
opinion handed down by Justice Ste
Wart of the supreme court yesterday,
an opinion concurred in by all the ius-
tlces on the bench. 1t was in the case
OF James A. Martin against Mary Will
son on appeal from Judge C. o. Stock
Slayer of the Fourth judicial district.
The action was to recover commission
as broker for the sale of property. In
the district court the judgment was in
favor of the plaintiff. In the supreme
court this judgment was reversed and
new trial was granted. The law
applying to all such cases is thus en-
planned in the syllabus of the opinion:
To entitle a real estate agent to
commission a contract of employment
is necessary, and where employment
is alleged, and where as in this case
the employment is denied the rela-
tlon of principal and agent must be
afflratively established by preponder-
ance of the evidence, though such re-
lation may be implied from such facts
and circumstances as satisfactorily
establish its existence
Where a contract is entered into bv
posed purchaser for the sale of the
real estate, and the contract provides
that the purchaser agrees to buy the
undivided one-half interest of three
minor heirs, and the contract further
provides, "If he shall not buy said in
terest of said minor heirs for the said
sum of $25O0 upon the terms aforesaid,
then this agreement shall be of no eff
fact and tho fret ,.t,r oh, h. =
no obligation to convey her interest
IN said property (referring to appel
liant, who was the first party of such
contract), held, that such provision is
a mere option and not a contract of
sale, and that the contract is void in
default of compliance Herewith.
An agent or broker employed to sell
land or find purchaser for the same
is not entitled to commission, there
fore, where his principal merely gives
an option to purchase to the party
procured by such agent, and no sale
is made
A contract made to pay a broker
certain commission upon sale of
real estate in consideration of the
broker furnishing purchaser, is not
satisfied by the furnishing of pur-
chaser who enters into a contract to
purchase the land upon condition of
buying half interest in said property
at guardians sale, where the con-
tract provides it shall be optional with
the purchaser to buy or not, and such
interest is not bid for or purchased
by the proposed purchaser, and a
commission cannot be recovered by
the broker for such sale.-Statesman

Famous kaw Valley and Oklahoma
Districts Report Potato Shortage.

Consumers in Kansas City this week

as against sixty cents for the same ar
ticle several days ago. Dry weather
throughout Kansas, Missouri south
ern Illinois, Tennessee and other
points has seriously interfered with
the crop and big shortage is pre-

1t has become an axiom, with some
dairy men, that the best results are
obtainable only with the best breeds
of animals. But success with such
animals implies also the best manage
ment; and not every beginner is capa-
BILE of the skillful handling necessary
with high-bred cows. The higher we
go in the scale of animal life the
more delicate the animal mechanism
becomes, and the greater the need OF
wisdom in the human agency which
controls it's movements. 1t is long
time before baby can care for itself
as we'll as can bronco colt at one
day old. A bronco colt can stand
more simple hardship and abuse than
ting mare or a high-clas draft ami
NAL; but the bronco will never have
the great speed, at the trot, of the
standard bred, nor will it grow large
enough to have the power Of the
drafter. The scrubby native COW can
stand more hardship and abuse than
a highly-developed dairy COW capable
of doing great work, and the latter
loses her superior commercial value in
unfavorable surroundings and under
unfavorable treatment.
It is found, therefore, that success
In dairying depends as much on the
kind of care and management be-
slowed on the herd, as upon the
breed. Care and management are, for
this reason, given the first considera-
ton here. These should include a
much greater degree of attention to
the comfort of the animals than is
ordinarily bestowed. In fact, 1t can
be demonstrated that the nearer We
come to applying the Golden Rule
to the treatment Of the dairy herd,
and treating it's members as we would
like to be treated, the larger will be
the satisfaction and rewards of dairy
ing.
These are the touchstones of sue
cess. When the COW Is comfortable
and contented, she responds with a
flow OF milk far in excess of that
which she gives when she has been
uncomfortable and irritated.

weather cows give larger amount Of
milk than in cold and wintry weather

thrush seems to be associated with

VALUE OF SILAGE
AND CORN SLOWER
Interesting Tests Made at Ne,
braska Experiment Station
in Cattle Feeding
(By II. r. SMITH, Animal Hushandman
11niyersify Farm St Iarl MINI

(By II. r. SMITH, Animal Hushandman,
University Farm. st. Paul, Mimi
While at the Nebraska experiment
station the writer conducted tests to
determine the relative value Of silage
and shredded corn slower (stalks) for
cattle feeding. In order to determine
the amount OF slower fed each steer, 1t
was necessary to husk the corn from
the stalk, and as the cattle were kept
in the barn, shredded slower was more
convenient although more expensive.
The use Of bundle corn, however,
would greatly reduce the cost as it
can be harvested and shocked as cas-.
lily as the ears alone can be husked
from the stalk and cribbed. During
the fall and early winter the use OF
bundle-corn containing ears might
even prove more profitable than the
use of silage.
The further fact that this expert.
ment was conducted during the SUM.
mer months without the use of grass
| pasture, is evidence that calves can
| make very satisfactory gains by using
corn silage and alfalfa as substitute
for grass.
In sections where enough grass cam
not be grown to carry the number Of
cattle wanted through the year, but
where large tonnage OF corn can bs
grown on a relatively small acreage.
the silo will become an important fac.
tor for use in summer as well "a In
