Alfalfa

The alfalfa grower of the Emmett
valley prospered abundantly this year
In most cases four cuttings were har-
vested and as high yield as seven
tons per acre are recorded. Six dol
lars per ton was the universal price
paid by the sheep men and the sup
ply will barely equal the demand. The
dry land growers who harvest one
crop of hay and crop of seed were
also successful.
In many ways alfalfa is the back
bone of the community, it not only be-
ing paying crop every year, but in
three years time it rebuilds the soil
till it will grow profitable crop of
any kind for years and also keeps the
soil to retain moisture. If every va
cant acre in the valley was planted to
alfalfa the prosperity of the commun-
would be doubled.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1914-12-31

well. By so doing it will be possible
to find steady sale each year.
While peaches and prunes have pre-,
dominated as to quantity in the past
: it is expected that the apple ship
ments will far exceed the combined
output of both the peach and prune
orchards in the future.
During the past year many new
markets have been found for our ap-
pies. One deserving of special men,
ton is sale of extra fancy Jonathans
by j. R. Field to the Harvey eating
houses of the Santa Fe Railway sys-
tenn, firm catering only to the very
best trade and demanding a superior
article in all departments.
Our prunes this year, as usual, have
topped the Eastern markets and we
doubt if a better article of the kind
can be grown in the United States.
The Emmett Country is an infant in
the commercial fruit shipping busi-
ness at present, but within the next
five years an output of 1900 cars may
be confidently figured on, with an ap-
proximate value of 100000, as a
greater portion of the orchards in the
valley are set to apple trees of the
very best commercial varieties, which
are only years old, or just coming
into bearing age.
The possibilities of the commercial
fruit business in this valley are un-
limited. One otter hears the wall of
those who centend that overproduc-
ton spells the ruin of the industry
within the next few years. But those
who have made the business a study
for years past see an increased con-
sumption that more than overbalances
the production. When everybody in
the North Middle states and Canada
started growing wheat in a wholesale
manner a few years ago the same cry
was made, but the price of wheat con-
tinued to go up, as has been the case
with other farm products. 1t is not
a wild statement to assert that today
more than two-thirds of the people
in the United States are apple hun
cry, and yet the greatest apple crop
in the history of the nation was pro-
duced the past season.
A great many things enter into the
future of the apple industry, but the
most prominent are the elimination of |
expense in packing, getting closer to
the consumer and sufficient storage
facilities.

In all sections of the farming COM
munities throughout the world turkeys
are grown to some little extent, En-
NETT recognizes the turkey business
the fowls are herded on the sagebrush
hills in the same manner as are sheep
and in the summer and early fall
months it is not an uncommon sight
to see from 500 to 1000 in single
flock under the care of one man, aided
by two or three dogs, feasting on
grashoppers, China lettuce and plants
that grow wild. About six weeks be-
fore Thanksgiving the fockmasters
begin feeding them corn and wheat in
addition to their range ration and by
Thanksgiving time the majority of the
birds are ready for market and their
flesh has an appetizing flavor not
equalled even by the wild specie.
Birds not in proper condition for the
fancy market at Thanksgiving time
are held over for the Christmas mar
ket and fed largely on corn which puts
on the proper amount of fat to make
them salable.
During the past three years the
Union Meat Co. of Portland purchased
the bulk of the turkey crop and each
year Representatives of that company
are sent here to receive the birds and
see that they are properly killed, pick
ed and packed. Over 100 people are
employed for period of two weeks.
The birds are graded both as to size
and quality, and are sold by the pur-
chasers accordingly, but the flock I
masters receive a straight price of |
15c per pound live weight.
The Emmett turkey crop the past
season amounted to over 10000 birds
and brought a cash return to the
growers of more than $4,000.

P. o. BUSINESS INCREASES
Steady Growth of Receipts During
the Year 1914.

The postoffice fiscal year begins
J July and ends June 80, hence figures
for the entire fiscal year are not
yet available; but records for the first
two quarters of the present fiscal year
show that postal receipts in Emmett
postoffice exceeded those for the cor
responding period last year by more
than $500. This indicates a natural,
healthy growth in our postoffice busi-
ness and is no doubt due in a large
measure to increased use by patrons
of the parcels post system. Parcels
post facilities were taken advantage
of last fall by many local shippers of
fruit within the 150-mile limit allowed
for perishable articles. No exact rec
ord of the number of pieces thus
shipped was kept at the postoffice, but
it is estimated that the number of
crates of various kinds of fruits sent
by parcels post to nearby Idaho coun-
ties ran well up into the hundreds.
Business in other branches of the
office has kept pace with postal re-
ceipts, larger volume of money-order
business having been recorded during
the last six month than in any like
period during Emmett's history.
The postal savings bank has grown
from small, insignificant beginning
until at the present time the amount
of savings on hand exceeds $500,
and is still growing.

Hogs.


A few years ago it was thought
that hog raising could not be carried
on successfully in any of the west
ern states, but during the past three
years this department of the stock
industry has grown until now it is
recognized as being one of the lead
ing factors in our valleys prosperity.
During the past year it is estimat-
ed that 1000 hogs have been sold off
Emmett farms at a price averaging
61s cents, or about S13 per head, and
that no less than $4,000 has been
paid the hog raisers.
1t has been demonstrated that the
climate is ideal and by running young
stuff on alfalfa pasture and feeding
about pound of grain day per head
very profitable gains can be made up
to the time the pigs are months old,
when they are put on full grain feed.
Of course it is said that it takes
close figuring to make money in the
business, but as near as can be learn
ed the average rancher who is prop
erly equipped for the business can
make from SO to S4 per head profit,
provided he grows his own grain or
is able to buy it at the right price.

The sheep business is one of EN-
mett's most stable industries. More
than 100000 sheep are owned by
Emmett residents alone, representing
a value of almost l million dollars
for stock and equipment.
During the past season the wool
clip of the Emmett Country amount
ed to approximately million pounds
and was sold at from 16 to Is cents
per pound. John C. Wright & Co,
and Howell, Jones & Donnell of Bos-
ton were the heaviest purchasers. A
more liberal rate was granted on wool
by the railroads the past year, the
rate from Emmett being the same as
from main line points. The range
the past summer was never better
and in every way the year 1914 was
the most prosperous ever experienced
by the sheepmen.
More than $4,000 lambs were ship
ped to the stock markets during the
past season, for which was received
approximately S180,000.
The new year looms up bright with
promise for continued prosperity. 1t
is forecasted that better than 25 cents
per pound will be the quotation on
wool during the year on account of the
heavy demand for England's output
at home because of the war.
The two largest owners here are
Andrew Little and the Billiard &
Johnson Sheep and Land Company.
Other smaller fiockmasters are the
Brothers, Alex Cruick-
shank, Sam Little, Walter Little,

Dairy

One industry that has grown more
rapidly than any other during the
past two years is the dairy business.
1t can be eonservatively estimated
that the number of cows in the valley
has been more than threbled during
that time. A number of silos have
been erected and n one or two inst
ances milking machine have been add
ed, notably at the Pomeroy- Ewing
ranch at Letha, not only does the
cheese factory at Letha do a thriving
business, but also hundreds of cans of
cream are shipped to outside markets
each month, which tends to give the
farmers so engaged monthly pay
check.
