office of Western Irrigation
II gricnltme. Secretary of Ag-
riculture.
This office is helping the far
mers of the west to learn what
crops to grow and how best to
grow them, particularly on lands
that have been put under irriga-
ton by the federal government.
On these newly irrigated lands
the farmers have to meet new and
unusual conditions. They need
new crops and new methods.
The field work of the Office is
conducted from seven field sta
tions. On these stations new
crops and new methods are tried
where the farmers can see the
work and the results. The field
men further help the farmers by
getting them to organize and to
work together in clubs and asso'

Citations. When a new crop has
been found suited to local con-
ditions these field men take the
leadership in starting the new in
dustry.
On these field stations improv-
ed varieties of crops are grown
and the seed distributed locally,
thus bringing the work of the
plant tntroducer and the plant
breeder direct to the farmer. In
meeting special local problems
the office secures and the services
of experts in carrying out expert
ments and demonstrations. Many
of these are conducted by thy,
farmers themselves under expert
supervision.
Many of the new irrigated re,
gions are better suited to the pro.

HALLS OF CONGRESS DESERTED.
Weekly Letter to Republican.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 30
Immediately on the adjournment OF
congress on Tuesday, the 23rd until
January 18th, the president left for
Pass Christian, Miss, to spend three
weeks, and nearly all of the repre-
sentatives and senator's in congress
east of the Rocky Mountain states
have gone to their homes, to remain
until congress reconvenes.
The Idaho delegation will remain
at their post of duty, and will, be-
cause of the many important mat
ters pending in the departments, be
practically as busy as when congress
is in session.
It is interesting to note that the
duties of the representatives in con-
gress vary according to location. In
the newer states, the majority OF let
ters received by senators and repre-
sentatives pertain to the public lands,
homesteads, and matters pertaining
to irrigation, power sites, Indian af-
fairs, forest reserves, rights of way,
etc. The senators and representa-
tives from the older states receive
no letters on these subjects, as these
questions have long since been dis
posd of. AS a result, the delegations
from the public land states are re-
quired to do a great deal more work
and have less time for the consider
alton of general legislation than
those from the other sections of the
country.
The record for punctual attendance
to their duties in Washington on the
part of some of the delegations from
the older states, is far from credit
able. Many of the representatives
have been in attendance period OF
less than a month during the last
session of congress extending over
period of seven months. Their
correspondence is attended to by their
clerical force, as only matters of mi
nor Importance require attention
while the member is absent.
+ The eastern representative in con-
gress, who is not inclined to exert
himself and who does not take an
active interest in public questions,

COST OF EDUCATION IN IDAHO.
Interesting Figures From State Uni
yersity Records Showing What
Various Departments Cost.

1t costs $262.10 per year to edu-
cate student at the University of
Idaho. This figure was arrived at
in the recent audit of the books OF
the state university by Allen G. Ken
nedy, who was employed for that Iur-
pose by Secretary Hermon Rossi OF
the state commission of education and
is based upon the expenses of the in
stitution from July 1, 1912 10 .:une
80, 1913 inclusive.
The total enrolment for the per-
iod embraced in Mr.. Kennedy's re-
port as given by the dean of the Uni
versity was 763, including summer
school students.
Mr.. Kennedy's segregations show
the per capita per year for the diff
ferent collegs as follows: Letters
land sciences $221.47 agriculture,
$6O1.S9; engineering (including min
ing engineering) $312.55; college of
law, $291.7s; summer school SIG.
Some odd facts are revealed in
the careful detail with which the re-
port is replete. Taking the number
of credits in the courses that are
taught by each professor as basis.
and the number of credits given for
each course taught the cost per
course was arrived at and by divi-
sion among the students in each
course the cost per course for stu
student was derived. These showed
variations from $6.78 per student in
one of the English courses to as
high as $12.73 per student per course
in bacteriology. The English classes
averaged a cost of $12.2O per year
per student and varied from $6.S7 in
the crowded composition classes 10

can find plenty of leisure time and
take life easy, but all of the members
from the western states are required
to give their constant attention to
business because of the immense cor
respondence. which they receive and
the ned of personal attention to it.
Busy Session Anticipated
1t is generally understood that, i'm
mediately after congress, convenes
that the various committees of con-
gress will have weekly sessions and
legislative matters be given atten-
tion in earnest.
"It is unfortunate" remarked Con-
gressman Smith, "that the whole
summer should have been frittered
away as result of the determination
of the Democratic caucus to pass no
legislation excepting the tariff and
currency bills. It was feared by the
Democratic administration that, II
other legislation was taken up, pub
lie attention would have been divert
ed from these important measures
but it does not appear that this is suf-
ficient reason for the committees Of
congress to refrain from meeting and
the determination to report no bills
| to tae house, excepting those first pas
sed upon by the Democratic caucus.
AS result of the do-nothing policy,
business will be SO congested in the
committees and in the house that it
will be impossible to secure full con-
sideration of hundreds of meritori-
GUS measures which are pending.
"There are numerous bills pending
in the committee on lands which, ii
enacted into law, would be of the
greatest benefit to those desiring to
avail themselves of the various pub
lie land laws, but as the appropriation
bills will, under the rules, have the
right of way, the opponents of these
land measures can, by dilatory tao
tics, prevent the consideration OF
these and many other important
bills which are pending.

TO PENSION SURVIVING
SCOUTS AND WIDOWS
Weekly Letter to Republican.

Weekly Letter to Republican.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 80
Last week the committee on pensions
held hearing on the bill of Repre-
sentative Burton l.. French of Idaho,
providing for pensioning the surviv-
ors of the Forsythe Scouts and the
widows of the deceased members of
this organization.
Representatives French and Smith,
of Idaho Taylor of Colorado and How
ell of Utah, appeared before the COM
mittee in support of the bill and urg-
ed its passage AMI one of the surviv-
ing scouts, Thomas Ranahan, of Wei
ser, Idaho, was present and gave a
most vivid description of the exper-
ience of the Forsythe Scouts from the
day that they were ordered to be or
ganized by Gen. Phil Sheridan, who
was one in command of the depart
ment with headquarters at Ft. Leav-
enWortn' throungh the hard campaign
led by General George A. Forsyth in
which the desperate battle of Beech
er's Island, Colorado, was fought and
NUMEROUS members of the company
killed. or wounded.
Mr.. Ranahan's original and graphic
description of the whole affair was
/ like reading chapter from the life
of Kit Carson or Daniel Boone and
nothing in the history of these men
can surpass the desperate experience
of the little band of scouts under
General Forsyth.
The committee took no action, but
it is understood that a most favor
able attitude is held by the members
of the committee.
