of the risks that small boys are talk ing in trying to see just how long they can stand ill front of an ap preaching machine and get away Sunday five boys in front of the Bap- tist church persisted in this sort of doubtful sport. They didn't move at the warning horn, but in many cases stood in the middle of the road until the driver was obliged to throw out his clutch and apply his brake. In these cases the boy only gives his at tention to the machine he is interested in,- and in at least one instance, when the boy lodged back to get out of the way of 8 local machine, he would have been run over only for the quickness and skill with which the chauffeur of g. big Massachusetts car handled his machine.
 Trees Given by Norwich Firm.
 On Arbor day, April II, 1911, the Perteeus & Mitchell Co., sent to River side Grammar school 500 Catalpa trees which were planted by the children. Probably 25 per cent of them are thrifty today. Between now and spring these trees should be trimmed at the branches to make them sturdy. Last fall they should have been trimmed about one and one-half feet from the top. Some of the trees are three inch es through at the ground.

A POINTER FOR OUR FARMERS

potato sacks, asking the consumers
to be kind enough to write him

sack, while they only netted Mr..
Young IS cents. Something is rad

marketing when the middlemen
take all the profits. Farmers must
organize, and 10y working together
they may be able to secure their

AMENDMENTS IN FORCE.

Idaho voters at the last general
election adopted nine amendments
10 the state constitution. Some of
these were self-executing. Others
required acts Of the legislature to
make them effective. Since the
adjournment Of the legislature many
have been trying to check up on the
status of these nine amendments
In brief they were:
TO ratify the 10th amendment to
the Federal constitution relating to
the income tax.
TO establish the referendum on
acts OF the legislature.
TO establish the initiative for
the proposal of laws by the voters.
TO provide for the recall Of all
except judicial officers.
TO limit the state debt to 81 900,
600.
To provide for one state senator
for each county and representatives
not to exceed three times that num-
her.
TO authorize the working of con-
victs outside the penitentiary.
TO provide for the creation of a
state board of control for educational
institutions.
To make county treasurers ex-
oilicio tax collectors.
As result Of the work Of the
legislature all of these amendment,
that were not self-executing are now
in force with the exception Of three

language:
Idaho, during the. past two
months, has been maintaining a

sorrow that last November she
elected a lot of cross roads horse
traders who have been willing to
break all of the commandments To
make swap, instead Of enacting nee
essary or desirable law. Already
they have incumbered the statute
books with a mess Of conflicting
legislation, and no one but the
Devils hired man knows what fur
ther indignities they will heap upon
the state before the close Of the ses-
sion. The Devil himself has un-
doubtedly delegated this supervis-

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

Former State Auditor, :. ID. .Tay-

receiver. From the standpoint Of
the Carey Act settler, this appoint

member of the recent Land Board
that took Il more active interest in
Carey Act matters than Auditor
Taylor, and his experience in deal

value to him in his new official po-
siton.
Since the hearing Of the North
Side case and other cases of equal
importance before the Land B.Aard
there seems to be Il different senti-
ment prevalent around the state
house, a. it becomes evident that
all Of troubles are not instigated by
the settlers, and this sentiment is
forcibly expressed by Governor
IIaines in his many utterances re-
garding the Carey Act -egregations.
Mr.. Taylor has openly expressed
his views on many questions in dis
pute between the settlers and the
irrigation companies, and a. man
ager Of this department he is likely
to bring these questions before the
land board for consideration. We
believe that Carey Act settlers need
have nothing to fear at the hands
of Mr. Taylor

After being in session all the af-

the state land board decided to take
up receiver certificates ON the pro-

and 5000 more later ON condition.

opposed the loaning Of any If the
Carey act funds in this way. He
held that the principle was wrong.
Receiver B. p. Shawhan appeared
before the board and applied for
so, 900. lie argued that this
amount was needed at once to put
the irrigation system in condition
for the delivery Of water to the set
tiers this year The water must be
available not later than April - to
insure good crops, and as the canal
must he concrctcd in places where
the ground is bad, he feels that
there is no time to be lost.
Attorney General Peterson took
the position the settlers should do
the work, taking receivers certiti-
Gates for their pay ~ much of
the work is of such nature that
farmers could not do it, this was
overrulcd. At first il was proposed
to lend but 5000 all told on the
certificates, hut Receiver Shawhan
refused to. accept this amount. He
explained that he could not do tn,
work that must he done with this
amount, and that if the land board
could not lend more than that h,
would be forced to look elsewher,
for the money.
- After the adjournment of tn,
board Mr.. Shawhan said it would
still be necessary to raise $1,000

TO PREVENT POTATO DISEASE.

Potato growers in this section will
he interested in the advice given BY
E. {. Stakman. assistant plant
pathologist Of the university farm
at st. Paul, MINI.
Speaking Of how to prevent potato
disease Professor Stakman says:
Farmers should do two things
in connection with raising potatoes
this year. They should plan to
plant potatoes on land which has
grown none for five or six year..
Then they should plant absolutely
clean seed on this land. This i
essential BECAUSE last year number
Of potato diseases, which live in the
soil and on the tubers, were very
commonly found almost throughout
the state. This means that there
Is large amount Of potato-sick soil
and large number Of disease tubers.
TO plant these tubers ON infected
soil would almost surely result in
poor crops and unhealthy tuber-
this year,
After having selected piece Of
land, known not to have raised dis
eased potatoes, the seed tuber-
should be carefully selected and
treated. Brown rot can he exclud-
ed in only one way, by rejecting
infected tubers. Scab and rhizoc-
tonia germs can be killed by tn,
ordinary formaldehyde treatment
The cost Of the treatment Is very
low, and there Is no question about
the increased returns.
A careful look through som,
Minnesota potato fields would con
vince anyone that it pays to selec
seed so a. to exclude brown rot
and it must be remembered tina
selection, in the case of brown rot
is the only means of control, and
further, that it must he comhine'
with proper handling Of the soil.

To Secure Dairy Cows.
A Plan Perfected by the North
Side Dairymen's Association.

Since the first step was taken
toward the organization of dairy
men : association on the tract, the
matter Of devising same plan where
by the settlers could secure GOOD
COWS at a reasonable figure and upon
favorable terms, has also been under
consideration by the instigators of
this association, and we are pleased
to announce that the association
has solved this problem to a certain
extent
The association announces a meet
ing to be held at Hales Hall on
Saturday morning Of this week, at
II o clock, at which time all farm
ers who are interested in the dairy
question are earnestly invited to be
present and learn the full details of
the proposed plan. We are assured
by the officers of the association
that the undertaking has been finan-
ced in such a manner that the cows
may be paid for out of the cream
checks received, which makes it
possible fer every farmer on the
tract who 80 desires, to become pos
sessed Of one or more dairy COWS.
The benefits to be derived from
this branch of the farming indus
try have been so thoroughly discus
sed among our farmers that it seems
useless to dwell further upon them.
Now that an opportunity is pre-
sented, ii is to be hoped that every
one interested will attend this meet
ing. 1t is not confined to the pres
> ent members Of the association, but
everybody is cordially invited. Re-
