AN IGO FARMER
SETTING THE PACE
j. L. Hughes Proves That There Is
Money in Potatoes and Corn.

j. T. Hughes of Igo is making good
on his farm. Last year he surprised
everyone by growing forty-five bushels
OF corn per acre, of good quality.
while most people who tried corn, did
less than half as we'll. There have
been several good corn yields. but
they have been in the foothills where
conditions were unusually favorable.
Mr.. Hughes is not so favorably located
but he has broken the record.
This year he has had unusual sue
cess with dry land potatoes. Samples
brought to this Office are SO far above
the average in quality as to draw
comment from all who have seen
them. Their size is also good. the
average ones being of good CONNER
cial size. Some of them grew tc two
pounds or more. which indicate that
good cultivation will produce abund-
ahtly On any Of our land.

BORAH URGES THE
ELECTION OF BRADY

Senator Borah Monday gave out the following
statement advocating the reelection of Senator
Brady:
'The people of Idaho are familiar with Sena-
tor Bradys energy and capacity, his exceptional
acumen and far seeing ability business man.
and ne has brought to his service here at Washing
ton as senator all that knowledge and ability He
has been as active and as tireless and vigilant in
looking after the interests of the people of this state
as ne could have been in attending to his own private
affairs. He has familarized himself quickly, and
as only keen business could with the details of
committee work, with the methods and manner of
moving legislation and is certainly most active and
faithful in looking after public matters
Senator Brady and have worked in harmony
from the beginning, and his great willingness and his
capacity to take of the business feature of con-
gressional work-and that is the largest feature of
It, after ALL especially from western state-entite
him to sincere commendation and appreciation of
his colleagues He makes study of Idaho and her
interests and the interests of the people of the state
in different localities and works untiringly in the
cause. People may differ with him in his views on
political questions but could differ with him
In his style of getting things done for the state he
represents and in looking after the interests of her
people, regardless of politics.
Il say this at this time because shall likely not
be able to reach Idaho before election and would
not want the impression to prevail that am not
deeply concerned in Senator Bradys success or tht
there is anything else but most cordial relations
existing between Senator Brady and myself"

MEISONHEIMER APPROACHES
RECORD FOR POTATO YIELD
Takes Two Hundred and Eighty Sacks
From An Acre of Dry Farm
Land.

p. w. Meisonheimer, who lives i'm
the neighborhood of the earns school
house. has probably broken the record
for yield of dry land potatoes by TAX
ing 280 sacks from a little less than
an acre of land. No details have been
secured, but 1t would be interesting
TO know what methods of planting and
cultivation he used. This information
might he of great benefit to many who
are less successful than he.
His potatoes are not only yielded
we'll but he has quality as we'll. They
are good sized, some OF them too
large to market as choice. Four Of
the largest weighed ten pounds. This
is not approaching the record for size.
A Neeley farmer has that, with tuber
that weighed about eight pounds. but
1t was irrigated and abundantly so.
II Mr.. Meisonhimer can raise half
as many potatoes per acre as he has
this year he will find no profit in
