kets of the Continent, that the quail
ity of Idaho grown seed of oil kinds
is the highest Nature has endowed
the farmers of the state with all the
conditions of sell, sunshine and elm
ate to give plumpness and quality
to ell their fam seeds. 1t is the
farmers part to see that his crops
are free from weeds, that they are
improved by selection and that they
are marketed to the best advantage.
These questions will be discussed at
the Seed Growers Convention by men

their Investigations and teaching.
Solutions will be offered for many
of tue farmers problems and an OPP
portunity will Re given for all to pre-

Effort To Save
Industry
(Weekly washington Letterl

weekly Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, Dec. pam eff
fort which is beig made to lift the
embargo on potatoes from foreign
countries has caused great alarm
among the farmers all over the coun-
try and as result an almost uni
versal protest is being made against
such action by the agricultural de-
partment.
Appeals by wire and letters from
all parts of Idaho have come to SEN
ator Brady and other members of the
Idaho delegation to prevent the hap
pening of such thing which would
practically mean ruin to one of Ida
hos greatest industries.
A hearing was held the latter part
of last week by the department Of
agriculture when the arguments were
presented by both sides interested for
and against the lifting of the embar-
go. Among others present was SEN
ator Brady He made vigorous
protest against the lifting of the en-
barge, and demonstrated what it
would mean to this industry in his
state. In his address he made men
tion of the disastrous work of the
imported seed in the different parts
of the country where it has been US
ed, one instance was that of Colora-
do. Greeley at one time was one Of
the most important potato shipping
points in the United States, but with
in the last few years the shipments
from there have decreased from H.,
900 car loads per year to 1000 cars
per year, and this condition is at
tributed solely to the diseased pc
tato seed imported from forsign
countries.
1t was shown by Senator Brady
that the soil which Is on,s infected
with disease prevents poulfo grow
ing for years or else dimlnishes the
yield so that there is no ,roct in the
crop. The people of Colorado are
fumigating a.. seed he)ca pia.t.:. g
and all stors houses in their effort
to get rid of the disease.

TO PENSION FoRsYTHE SCOTS

weekly Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Mr. and
Mrs. Thos. Ranahan, who have been
visiting the latter's relatives in
Rhode Island, are spending a few
weeks in Washington. Mr.. Rama
han is very much interested in bill
introduced by Congressman French,
to give a pensionable status to the
members of the Forsythe Scouts and
the widows of the deceansed men,
bers
4 This organization, of which Mr..
Ranahan was member, participated
in one of the most noted battles in
Indian warfare-the Battle of Bee
chcr's Island" Colo, inSeptember,
1868. The Scouts were employee
under the direction of General Miles,
but were never mustered into the
service of the United States, and for
this reason their claims are not en-
braced within the general pension
laws
Thee are only six survivors of the
battle and five widows of deceased
members of the Forsythe Scouts who
would be benefited by the proposed
law which is having the strong sup
port of the entire delegation.

weekly Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. a.
Through the activity of Congressman
Smith and Mr.. w. w. Humphrey, Of
Twin Falls, who has been in Washing
ton for the last few weeks, arrange
ments have been made under which
Mr.. Humphrey will furnish several
hundred tons of hay from the Twin
Falls tract to The Govern alent. for
the dairy cows at the government
hospital for the insane Washington,
D. c., the cavalry horses at Fl, Myer
Va, and he buffalo, deer, antelope,
and other animals ir the National
Geological paak, Washington, D. G.
NJ. Humphrey, when in the city
six months ago, visiting the Zoolo-
gical park, observed that the ami
mails were very poorly nourished
especially the buffalo and elk, and
sent samples of hay to the supeiin-
ter dent, who later nt1rlne him that
It wae the finest na.5 that he had
ever seen and, judging from the
greediness with which the animals
consumed it, they evidently had an
equally good opinion of its quality.
On investigation, it was ascertain
ed that the hay furnished for the
dairy cows at the government hos
pital for the insanen, at Washington
and for the cavalry horses at Fl.
Myer, Va, was of very inferior
quality, and the purchasing agents
for the government were pleased to
know that they could procure such
fine alfalfa at a pice which wrould
warrant the expense of treighting it
across the country.

A WONDERFUL SAVINGS
BANK GROWTH

The Lamoille Colnty Savings
Bank AMI Trust Company ha,
recently passed its 25th mile
stone, having commenced bust
enss in 1889.
1t has issued to its depositors
a little booklet-which it vii
send to any one asking therefor
until the supply is exhausted
setting forth certain facts con.
nected with the Bank.
The booklet contains n ;)or.
trait of the President, Gov. Page
Vice Presidents, II. M. McFar.
land and Russell S. Pare; Treas
urer Frank M. Culver; and the
other members of the Board of
Directors, S. A. Fife, Arba A.
Pike, r. w. Hulburd, and d. II.
Scribner.
The officials are certainly able
to make very creditable show
ing. Below we give some of its
claims as set forth in its booklet :
Between July |, 1907, and Jan
uary |, 1914, the deposits of the
Bank increased from S844, 1884
to $2,602,448.70, or more than
threefold.
Touching its financial strength
it says that
Since the Banks organization
it has passed through Two disas-
trous panics. 1t is a notable fact,
a fact favorably commented up
on by business mer in every sec
tion of the state, that during
these panics the Hyde Park Bank
was not only able to pay every
depositor calling for his money
without a moments delay, but
it kept its finances so well in
hand that it al ways had money
to loan to every Vermont Dor
rover living within it's proper
loaning sphere. II takes just;f-
able pride in the fact that during
the panic years of 1893 and 1907
it was never tempted to enter
Wall Street to speculate or to
buy out-of-State notes, when
could have been purchased at
most exhorbitant rates of dis
count. On the contrary,in those
days of great monetary strin-
gency it loaned its surplus funds
to the people and banks of YER
mont, never asking or accepting
more than the legal rate of in
terest-6 per cent. The Hyde
Park Bank has always felt that
in building up, encouraging and
conserving every legitimate Ver-
mont industry and enterprise, it
was building up and strengthen
ing itself. That this policy has
been a wise one and one which
has been most generously appre-
ciated by the people of Vermont
is fully demonstrated by the
wonderful growth of the Bank,
since the panic of
1907"
When it is considered that dur
ing the panic year, July /, 1907
to July /, 1908. a year in which
many banks made little or no
growth in deposits, the Hyde
Park Savings Bank actually
gained in deposits more than
S486, 900, the above statement
should excite no wonder. 1t
simply shows that the people of
Vermont believed in and implicit
ly trusted the managers of the
Hyde Park Bank and that the
of the Bank on their
part rose to the full opportunity
of the occasion and generously
declined to add to its profits by
allowing the Bank to be made
the vehicle for transporting
money out Of the State.
To make a long story short,
the people were good to the
Hyde Park Bank and that Bank
reciprocated by being good to
the people of Vermont.-News
