FOR SECRETARY OF STATE

George r. Barker, the northern can
didate for secretary of state. seems
TO be certain of the nomination Two
of his three competitors come from
Boise, and there is a very just dis
clination to take all the candidates
rom Boise. Barker is a newspaper
man from Standpoint, is wideawake,
energetic and capable, and as good
material as any who are out for that
position Republicans will make no
mistake by voting for Barker.

RAY SHOWS GOOD GROWTH
One Hundred and Fifty Families Re-

A. r. Edgett. who came to this coun-
ty about a year ago, gives evidence of
the rapid growth of Ray and vicinity
IL is less than two years since a post
office vas established there, yet the
office now serves one hundred and
fifty families and more are coming
Mr.. Edgett has a farm just this side
of the divide, and his brother lives
just beyond. Mr.. Edgett states that
people from the southern end of the
county, going to and from the postof-
flee, carry mail for thirty-nine fam
lilies. 1t is but a year or two since
there were not to exceed half dozen
families in that locality.
Mr.. Edgett is greatly in love with
Ray and vicinity. For productiveness
he does not believe that it can be
beaten. AS an evidence he cites the
yield of j. p Wilcher, a hustling Ger
man farmer, who secured 1855 bushels
of wheat from 27 acres, or 55 bushels
per acre. There is no question about
fertility. The only drawback is dis

Results Of Good Farming

growth of an acre of cotton belonging
to his younger son, Ira Cast, the yield
of which acre will be about bale,
when in the same field, on the same
type of soil, he is raising about half
TO three quarters of bale. Enough to
open the eyes OF anyone. Scientific
farming has brought about this result.
Truly the Cast farm, not more pro

neighbors probably, is becoming

scurried about here and there through
the brush, working diligently to root
out living for herself and family. To-
day Mr.. Cast has at least 80 hogs, put
ting on fat and dollars every day. The
owner has learned the value of diyersi-
fled feed crops for his hogs and has
constructed several pens or small
fields in which at different stages Of
the season he has planted various feed
crops and has pastured thereon his
hogs as the crops matured His last
crop is nothing more nor less than COW
peas and they are now ready for the
hogs to be turned into the field.
The value of property fertilizing the
land is demonstrated in the acre OF
corn planted and tended this year by
Elbert Cast. 1t is in the midst Of a
field of several acres, the soil being Of
the same nature, planted exactly the
same, cultivated the same number OF
times. On the acre Of land producing

difference in the yield Of the corn, the
size of the stalk and its staying quail
ties against a long, hot summer, is evi-
dent to the eye.
At this date, with practically every
corn field in the county dried and
fully matured, the club acre receiving
the fertilizer shows trace of green
and freshness, absolutely not to be
found in the other fields.
Nor is the demonstration made by
Gilbert Cast an exception. In Grady

Instructions. Officers were to fight
