number never exceeded 100000, tn.
present population Of Idaho.
But in spite Of their wonderful heri.
tage many Of the indiana suffered
from lack Of food. Hunger and star.
walton were not uncommon among
them, because of their crude methods
of tilling the soil.
Today this same territory supports
100, 0O0, 900 men, women and children,
The day is not far off when it will
support double this number as the
direct result Of more scientific farm.
ing.
1t is impossible to mistake the trend
of the times. Efficiency, economy and
progress are in the air.
There was a time, even after the
white man came, when practically all
farm work was done by hand. AS
late as 1850 there were but few labor
saving devices other than the wagon,
the cart and the cotton gin.
Then came the moving machine.
On it's heels came the reaper to take
the place of the cradle; tho thresher
to take the place of the fail. Evolu-
ton has held sway ever since, and
woo to the farmer who has not kept
abreast Of the times.
Even now the demand is for more
intensive farming-for better methods.
Even now the bencfactor is the man
who can make two blades of grass
grow where one grew before. Even
now tho demand is for relief for the
farmer and his wife from the drudg-
cry of farm life.
There were stand-patters in the
olden days who fought against the
Of the reaper, the thrcsh-
er and the steam plow. There are
today who oppose the
of electricity.
Where electric power is SO plenti-
full and SO cheap as it is in Idaho
there is no logical reason that can
be advanced against its use by the
thrifty farmer.
Why, for illustration, should not
the farmers wife in Idaho have, in
to the electric light, the cleo
trio iron, the washing machine, the
sewing machine, the vegetable peeler,
the bread mixer?
Why should not the Idaho dairy
man have the cream separator, the
pump, the butter worker, the refrig-
orator, the milking machine?
Why should not the Idaho farmer
have the electric feed grinder, the
corn shelter, the thresher, the ensil-
age cutter, the wood saw, the hay
cutter, the concrete mixer?
There are power and light plants
scattered over all sections of Idaho,
upward OF 40 of them in active opera
tion at this time. These are reach
Ing out farther each day for business.
There is no good reason why they
