NEW LAND RESTORED

A communication was received by
the Tribune Saturday morning, from
John J. Guheen, retiring receiver, OF
the Blackfoot land office, in which it
is noted with interest that a consider.
able area of public lands has been re-
stored to entry, and inasmuch as thai
particular land is we'll known to Po
Catello people, the information con-
veyed will be appreciated. Mr.. Gu.
heen says:
I'm January, 1918, the department
withdrew the unappropriated public
lands in townships 5, 6, Z and 8,
south, ranges 80 to A east, Boise mer
idian, on the application of the state
OF Idaho, pending the filing of state
lists for lands in said townships. No
entries have been permitted of these
lands since that time. The depart
ment has just restored said lands
from that withdrawal, and the same
will hereafter be subject to entry if
not otherwise appropriated or re-.
served.
Many people and settlers in the
country tributary to your paper ar
vitality interested in receiving this in
formation, and l am writing this let
tor to you simply as a news item with
the request that you give this infor-
nation in the columns of your paper
for the benefit Of your readers" -

The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1914-06-04

articles are so worded that it ap-
pears as if the Department of Agri.
culture had received reports from the
state Of Minnesota showing that the
medicine had proved most beneficial.
AS matter of fact the one report
received by the Department was an
unofficial and unsolicited statement
sent presumably from the promoters
themselves. The Department attaches
no Importance whatsoever to this
statement. 1t has no reason to be-
lieve in the efficiency Of any proprie-
tary cure for hog cholera and does
not recommend any. Under certain
conditions it urges farmers to pro-
tect their stock with anti-hog-cholera
serum but that is all.
In connection with this attempt it
may be said that the medicine, which
is now put forward as good for hogs,
was advertised some time ago as q
means Of killing tuberculosis, typhoid,
and cancer germs, according to an
article published in the Journal Of
the American Medical Association.
At that time it was asserted
that the army was interested in it.
As matter of fact the army was
no more interested then than the
Department of Agriculture is now.
In view Of the evidence that the
attempt to create this false impress
son is persistent and widespread, all
hog owners are warned to commuui-
cate with the United States authori-
ties before accepting as true any
statement that the Government re-
commends any treatment other than
the serum already mentioned.

Senator Brady has had the Agri

that the Secretary of Agriculture is

The boys and girls club work IS

sistance Of the state and county SUI
perinteendents and the principals and
teachers in public schools. The aim
in this work is to teach the boys

in agriculture on a limited area Of
ground, with the idea of interesting
them in farm and home opportunities
and achievements.
The boys and girls are taught to
do a concrete piece of constructive
work throughout an entire season
and keep a correct financial record
of. the cost and returns. Emphasis
in the girls garden and canning
