Another member of the progressive

and give to Idaho a crop that will
probably be as large as the 1912 crop
according to an estimate ventured by
A. F. Hit of Weiser, government crop
statistician, who was a visitor in Mos
COW today.
Mr.. Hit has just come from trip
through the Camas Prairie and Lewis
ton country and reports that the crops
in those sections are splendid. He
says that from his observations in this
immediate vicinity that the only dam
age seems to be in the winter wheat
but otherwise that the crop conditions
are very favorable.
North Has Big Production.
Northern Idaho produces about
two-fifths Of the wheat crop of the
state, if not just a little better than
that" declared Mr.. Hit. Southern
Idaho is rapidly advancing in agri-
cultural possibilities and while grain
is being grown extensively in the south
and southeast, there is tendency to
diversified farming
Mr.. Hit states that last year the
north raised about 100000 bushels
of wheat, which he regards as the
greater percentage of all grains grown,
while he estimates that the oat crop
of southern Idaho exceeding other
grains reached 100000 bushels.
Field Pea in Idaho.
He says that the increase in held
pea production in Idaho for 1913 is
very pronounced; that last year the
acreage amounted to between $1,000
and 10000 while the present year it
will total 46,S00 acres. He divides the
acreage as follows: Jerome 200 acres;
Twin Falls 1900 acres; Burley 800
acres; Blackfoot 1000 acres; Idaho
Falls 5000 acres; St Anthony 25,OOO
acres.
Mr.. Hit says frost occurring at St
Anthony July IA this year caused a
of 20 per cent to the field peas
n that section He regards the in
lustry as one of the most important
n the state and predicts steady in
.rease in the future.

r6APKET CONDITIONS MADE PUBLIC
FARMERS REVEAL ASTONISHING FACTS


space Of time was also alleged by
the grange representatives..
PRACTICE LONG STANDING.
The graft charges against former
market officials were made III de-
tail by Hervey Walker Of Marshall
ton, a prominent granger and Dem
ocratic candidate for receiver Of
taxes and county treasurer last fall
Mr.. Walker made his charges after
the criticism had been made that
farmers secured their market priv
ileges too cheaply. He stated that
he had known farmers to pay as
high as $50 to secure a market
stand privilege, the price depend
ing on the desirability of the mar
ket space. The practice of paying
extra for a stand, he said, had been
going on for a long time and was
well known to practically all the
farmers. He said he knew of one
farmer in particular who had ap-
piled to a clerk of the market for
a stand and was told that there
were no vacant spaces either on
King or Madison street. The same
man, he said, was advised by a
neighbOr to go back the next day
and offer the official $40 to secure
him a stand. This farmer, he said
secured his permit the next day.
Mr.. Walker agreed with fact
pointed out by A. B. Moore, that
recommendations to remedy mar
ket conditions were always made BY
clerks of the market Oh the eve o.
their retirement from Office. The
permits. Mr.. Walker thought
should be taken out Of the hands o
the clerk Of the market and shoulC
be issued by some municipal bu
rcau or else City Counci! itself
He also agreed that there shouIl
be a system by which application
for vacancies should be decided b.
priority Of application.
