$4,000 FOR BOISE-YELLOW-
STONE HIGHWAY

Senator Brady has introduced in the
United States senate an amendment
to the department of agriculture APP
preparation bill now pending, which
provides for the sum of 100000 for the
purpose of constructing through the
Targhee National Forest, from Warm
river to Yellowstone. near the entran-
ce to the park, a distance of sixth
three and one-half miles. of wagon
road as an extension of the highway
from Boise to Yellowstone National
Park.
The road win run parallel to the
right-of way of the Oregon Short Line
railway through Bonneville, Jefferson,
Madison and Fremont counties and
must necessarily follow the railway
through the Targhee Forest to the
park. this being the most feasible
and practical route.
The main obstacle to those travel
ing to the greatest wonder in Amer
lea today. is the poorly constructed
roads through this forest reserve.
The state of Idaho has appropriated
$4,000 tc pay the expense of sur
veying and locating the highway and
the different counties have at consid-
cradle expense built fairly well con-
structed roads through their respec-
tive territories and are willing to
the highway in connection
with the state if the government will |
a sufficient sum to prop |
arly build 4 good wagon road through /
their forest reserve. The fact that

iuced in the reserve. there is no rea-
ION why this money cannot be used

Iesire to visit Yellowstone National
lark.

loads Association. having a large cash
membership. as well as

ort in this great project.

AGRICULTURAL INSTRUCTION
I'M EVERY COUNTY.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. 3-The
House BIN No. 1851. to provide for
cooperative agricultural extension

leges IN the several states receiving
the benefits Of an act of congress ap-
proved July second. eighteen hundred
and sixty two. and of acts supple
mentary thereto, and the United Sta
ties department of agriculture is now
before the senate and will doubtless
be enacted into law before many DAYS.
Senator Brady is a very ardent sup
porter of this bill. aud as a member
of the committee on agriculture and
forestry. to which the bill was refer
red, used his influence to have the
House bill substituted for the reason
that it gives a larger appropriation
for the states for agricultural pur-
poses.
In speaking of the matter, Senator
Brady said, "This is one of the best
bills congress can pass. Our state is
already doing a large amount of WORK
along cooperative lines in co-ope "a
tion with the national government
and this bill will enable us to have
an instructor in every county in the
state. This will be especially bene-
fetal TO Idaho. for the reason that
there is such a great difference in eli
matte conditions. in altitude and the
amount of rain fall, that il is almost
necessary to have an experiment sta
ton, or at least special investiga-
ions and Instructions. in every coun-
v in the state. We have legisiated |

We are going to do something for the |

The New Freedom in It's last issue
calls upon Senator James II. Brady

that Senator Brady has violated the
letter and the spirit IL the direct pri-
mary Jaw by the reckless use Of money,
has deceived the state supreme court
and perjured himself in testimony

for the allegations are the transactions
between Senator Brady and the Cap

that he Stands convicted upon the
records OF the state of Idaho

the case show that on December "a,
1912, Senator Brady testified in court
that he did not own or control any

The records further show that since
February 5. 1910. Senator Brady as

Don II. Bark, irrigation engineer II
charge of the government investiga-
ton in Idaho. gives some Of the results
of the work of the past two years as
follows:
1t has long been known that much
greater yield of grain or potatoes and
other crops would be made on fertile
soil. such as alfalfa sod, than could
be made upon raw arid soils that had
never been fortified in any way. Lit
tie. however, has been known as to
the irrigation requirements of the. in
creased yields on the fertile soils.
The duty Of water Investigation
which has been carried on through
out Idaho during the past four years
by the United States irrigation inves.
tigation department In cooperation
with the state land board, has thrown
much new light upon the subject.
This investigation was designed and
carried on primarily to determine
how much irrigation water would be
required by the varying soils, and
crops of different irrigation projects,
and in the determination of this factor
the water applied to and the yields
produced upon many hundred fields
have been measured The data secur-
ed, however, while proving conclu-
sively the proper duty of water
throws new light upon many impor-
tant irrigation problems, one of the !
most important of which is the lesser !
water requirements of the more fer
tile soils.
Easy to Over-Irrigate.
Blue stem wheat on new soil that
has never been previously cropped OF
'ertilized produced 1000 pounds of
grain per acre with an application of
q acre-feet at the Gooding expert
nent station during the season of
$40, while the same wheat on the |
ame ground during the season of s
911 produced but 1923 pounds of
rain per acre with an application of s
3 acre-feet per acre, showing a con- [
iderably less efficiency from the /

THE COUNTY PICNIC
Everything in Readiness for Large
Gathering at Arlington Friday

Every indication is that the first
picnic and field day to be held under
the auspices Of all the Sunday schools
of Bennington County at Arlington
will be big success. All arrange
ments are now complete and the
children and older folks alike through
out the County are waiting anxiously
for the great day to arrive. Miss
Clariee Auerbach and her assistant
arrived in the County from New York
Tuesday and they have had charge of
the final arrangements, and during
the week are holding the special play
days in the different towns to teach
the children new sports and games
that will be participated in at the pie
mic.
Although the events of the picnic
are planned especially for the young
people, all are invited TO attend
whether members of Sunday school
or not. The grove chosen makes an
ideal spot both as to its beauty and
location, il being but short distance
from the station. A special train will
be run from the south and people from
Manchester, Peru, Dorset and East
Dorset will be conveyed to Arlington
by wagons and autos, returning by
the regular evening train. Every con-
venience possible will be arranged at
the grounds for those in attendance.
A building will be provided for
lunches, wraps, etc, and a carotakel
N constant attendance.
All who are able to attend should
avail themselves of the opportunity
of not only enjoying the day but of
helping in the progressive steps that
Bennington County is taking in so
many new enterprises.
