light league and a club of Cald-
wells best, imported from Cam

former Twilight league star,
will play at $3.50. When Vim
ing's ringing challenge came
from Caldwell, 1t was the inten-
ton of the Twilight managers,
as Vfning dared them to, to
choose a team from among their
several organizations to meet
the visitors. But after the fine
showing the Carlson usk nine
has made this last week, al
though they are in the league
cellar, 1t was decided that they
could wipe up with Caldwell
from Warm Springs avenue to
the right field fence. Admission

are playing their full season
free, and paying their own ex-
penses. SO they feel that they
can ask the baseball lovers of
Boise to support them by at
tending and paying this small
price Their treasury Is de-
pleted from the expenses Incl
dent to fitting up Twilight park,
and every little will help.

A Much Neglected Industry.

The last fall egg famine, and
the scarcity of eggs which pre-
vailed through til e holidays,
should be a lesson to our farmers
to go into the poultry business
for keeps. 1t is said that the
cut over pine lands of Louisiana
are particularly good for the
breeding of poultry. 1t is as
tonishing that or people should
overlook the Importance Of poul-
try raising. 1t is of equal profit
with the dairy business, and does
not require so much capital. In
the North many farmers depend
as much on their poultry as they
do on their agricultural products.
The climate in the South is much
more favorable for poultry rails
ing than it is in the North, and
it should therefore be more pro-
fitable.

When the Fam Demonstration
Work was first started in Louisiana
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
paid all the salaries of the parish agents
as well as all the expenses of supervi.
sion, AS the Demonstration Work has
grown in strength, in the confidence OF
the people and in the results obtained,
the Department has been demanding
more and more that each parish pa,
one-half of the salary of their agent.
The Department pays the other hall
and furnishes all supervision; bulletins,
ETC., necessary to carry on the work
in the parish.
In 1912. fifteen parishes appropriated
Sc, 423.75 to pay their share of their
agents salaries; in 1918, twenty-one
parishes, SO, rs; and already in 1914,
twenty-four parishes have appropriate
ed l3.534.16, with prospects good for
81, 600 to 81, 500 more.
The demonstration work has been
discontinued in Grant parish, and agent
b. Z. Woods has resigned because of
no financial support from your police
jury or local people. / am sorry to
have to drop your parish from our list
and give up the service rendered your

on financial assistance from each parish.
Hoping that in the near future your
