acres I'm the county stood idle Corn
in the county last year averaged %
bushels to the acre. Had this idle
land been planted TO corn it would
have produced at the prevailing aver
age 100000 bushels, and at 60
cents per hushol would have added
Sl3-0, 600 90 the aggregate crop pro-

were but 100000 more than this
amount
Not only did almost half tho arabic

past season hut AT least half the land
which was put TO cultivation was
handled iu a sup-shod manner and
did not WELD anywhere near what 1t
.s capable of under proper cultlVa-

asked If the appropriation was for the

WASHNGTON'S ARMY.

oar school histories all convey the
impression that the revolutionary
war was won boy George Washington
with a few ragged continentals and
minute men from a much superior
force of British rcdcoats The Of
fcials' records In the war department,
however do not bear out this popu-
lar fiction. The total number Of
American troops in the revolutionary
war. according To these reports,
reached 395.S5S. while at no one time
were more than 42,O75 British troops
on American soil. incidentally the
present FUN strength Of our regular
army plus the possible militia, is
less than 100000 men

SHORT-TIME LOANS.

There seems 70 be general agree
mcnt among the grangers that what
the farmer needs rs not land mort
gage facilities money TO buy a farm
but small short-timo loans on his
personal credit to enable him to har-
vest his crops, make improvements
and generally TO run his farm There
are a lot more farmers who own their
farms but need some capital TO run
them, than there are people who want
TO borrow money for the purpose Of
buying a farm.
The best developed plan for per-
sonal rural credits so far set before
congress is that originated boy r. c.
Mlllikcn Of Texas and introduced by
senator owen Of oklahoma, the es-
sential feature of which is TO provide
for farmers cooperative associations
which will control the baukugs oper-
ations and enable the farmers to do
their own credit business for them
selves The plan provides for unlim-
tied liability Of members ~ each To-
cal association, with operations con-
fined 10 small zones not exceeding so
miles square, and with bills of oN-
change representing commercial
transactions used instead Of a de-
control ana no bankers rake-offs

Valuable Data the Tract for Above Period

January, 1913, was the coolest month
in the four years. The mean temper

1911 and 1914, were of the same mean
temperature. The lowest temperature
recorded was that of January, 1913, 26

in 1913, while the warmest was that of
1914, during the four year period above

the present year was the warmest,
taken as whole. yet the mercury
crawled degrees lower during the
month than during any previous Feb
ruary. The year 1910 holds the record
for the warmest March, the year 1913
the coolest. April temperate res for the
four year period has not varied greatly,
except in 1910. when it was degrees
warmer than its nearest competitor in

the coolest June month. July, 1910 was
the warmest month on record, with
mean temperature of 1876 degrees, A

in this respect, that of August, 1913.
July, 1910. also has the record of being
the only month in which the tempera-

Facts Concerning Land Sales Campaign
to be Conducted by the Idaho Irrigation
Company, Limited, During Year 1914

The Idaho Irrigation Company is preparing to
launch big land selling campaign, to sell its open
lands as we'll to help sell other lands under its pro-
ect that may be placed the market In general
it is planned to have agent in each of the commun
ties affected, and perhaps travelling agents the
cuisine The company will arrange to meet and es
cort buyers from any of the railroad stations who may
be sent by any Of the field agents. and give them the
very best of sightseeing service
While the campaign is primarily on the sale of lands
yet unsod it is hoped that all the decided lands that
for sale will be listed somewhere in the community
that when buyers in they start ont with def
mite knowledge of what is for SALE The lower terms
and they should be reasonable and fair and not scary
and prohibtve should be listed You can find where
to give in these lstments if they taken to Of
the company in each community say the water
superintendent for the tracts written to the Idaho
Irrigation Company at Rchfeld placed with the
bank the local newspaper the real estate dealer
they will be in hands where they be found by all
inquiries.
About three-fo -fourths of the land the Richfeld
tract ought be resod to Settlers aad the general farm
unit reduced to average OF 40 acres, with family
on every forty. Help to bring in few hundreds of
settlers, and make the community prosperous as it
meyer before.

A Beautiful Jersey Animal
Thirty Months Old, Weight 1910 Pounds, the Product
of the Average Idaho Farm Without Special Care,
Animal Illustrates Possibilities Of This Section

believed, and of course with good rea-
son, that the Jersey will neither reach
any considerable size, nor make profit
able beef. But when late fall calf,
only little more than two years old,
that has gone through three winters in
rather rigorous climate, reaches the
weight of 1910 pounds on ordinary
ranch care, it's a real beef animal,
whatever the breeding.
1t is an interesting fact that the
prize steer at the Portland fat stock
show, which was raised at the Idaho
State Agricultural college farm, was a
grade animal with considerable Jersey
blood
No one would attempt to prove that
the Jersey is primarily beef animal,
and that the little fawn-colored Great
ures would become the progenitors of a
sterling beef breed But this fact of
the prize winning steers having Jersey
blood is noticeable.

Meeting of the School Board
The Selection of Teachers Deferred Until Next Meeting
The Board Occupying Its Time in Discussing Ques-

A meeting of the school board was
held Monday night, but no action was
taken in the matter of employing teach
ers for the ensuing year. A motion was
made and carried, to elect at the next
regular meeting, from the list of those
who make application for positions.
An interesting report was made by
Prof. Gorow, of the work of the hot
lunch in the schools. He says that the
afternoon work of the pupils is notice
ably better since the hot lunch system
was begun, than before. When the
children bring their lunches, and mix a
cold lunch with miscellaneous games,
the effect is harmful to the digestion,
and so to the school work. Now, the
children who have to eat their lunch at
the school building, take an average of
from two to three times as long to eat
the lunch as they did when helping
themselves from their dinner pals; and
they are much better and more ration
ally nourished. As result, the after

TRAVELLING ART EXHIBIT
A Splendid Agency for Commu-

We wish to again call your attention
to the Travelling Art exhibit to be held
at Richfield, April 18th to Goth.
The exhibit is a collection of SO oil
paintings, loaned to the General Feder-
alton of Women's Clubs by the Society
of Women Painters of New York.
Mrs. C. Douglas Smith, who is an
artist and spent two years in Paris
studio and two years in a London
studio, in speaking of the exhibit says:
1T is conceded by all to be the finest
collection of paintings for travelling
exhibit that has been sent west. These
travelling exhibits bring splendid op-
portunity to our very door. Would that
young Idaho might clearly see this op-
portunity and take advantage of it. :"
The Social Science Circle is not ar
ranging for this exhibit to better them
selves financially, but as means of
community education We hope these
pictures will meet with the same hearty
that the people of other
places have shown them.

A Phenomenal Years Record
Increase in Acreage the Tract, in Which Alfalfa En-
ters as a Leading Factor With from to Tons to
the Acre, and Other Yields of Farm Products

The total value of alfalfa in 1912 was
$91, $50; in 1913, $184, 987. Potatoes
were worth in round numbers, $50, 900
in 1912 and $76, 900 in 1913; with a
largely decreased acreage in the latter
year. The total value of all crops is
placed at about 1920, 900 in 1912, and
$446, 891 in 1913. Cattle were worth
$45, 600 in 1912, and $113, 294 in 1915
gain of $50 per cent in one year. Hogs
gained faster than that; for where
there was $25. 200 worth in 1912, the
value was above $50, 1000 a year later.
The total value of live stock on the pro-
jects in 1912 was about $3.50, 900; year
later it was $4O0, 600.
A noticeable increase in the percent
age of live stock carried on the average
farm, an increase in the percentage of
land under cultivation, and the number
of farms that are occupied, and a
steady gain in permanent improvements
such as fencing, buildings, etc., shows
that the country is really progressing
in most satisfactory way. Another
five years of the same ratio of progress,
would see almost every farm titled at
least in part, and many a farmer inde-
pendently rich. The increase in cult
waited acreage is smaller on the Rich
field tract for the past year, than on
any of the other tracts of the company;
but the gain in live stock, and in per-
Improvements, is larger.
Without any indication that there is
to be any land boom. or any easy money
brought in for general, free distribution,
there is every reason to feel that times
will be better as the company goes into
the live stock business and has crop to
sell that is in constant demand at
high price; and regardless of national
politics, this section of the country may
expect to prosper if it will stick to its
work.
