SPRING CLEANING

This is cleaning that means
and scrubbing floors and washing
windows. Did you ever stop to think
of the diseases which follow spring?
Typhoid begins in the spring, and a
host of lesser ills appear during this
beautiful time of year. 1t is
shame, and shame ought to be
wiped out.
This spring let us clean out the
germs as well as the house, Or
rather, do both at the same time.
The fly is germ carrier who never
tires, and his destruction, along with
his cousin, the mosquito, will be fol-
lowed by better health. Breeding
places for these filthy creatures
should be made clean and pure.
Lime is a powerful agent for clean
illness out of doors. Screens minister
to health as well as comfort.
Typhoid fever is a disease caused
by bacteria and the doctors say that
it is spread only through sewage.
The septic tank is considered the
best means for disposing of sewage.
This tank holds the sewage until it
decays, and this decay kills the ty-
phoid germs.
Odors are warnings to one of our
senses-w warnings which should never
be neglected. Let us make our spring
cleaning cleaning for health as
well as for looks-a cleaning cam
paign against disease as we'll as dust.

FARMERS TAKE HEED

Recent statements in various news
papers published in Idaho would in
dictate that the inspection of seed
grain and enforcement Of the Pure
Seed Law had been transferred to
the State Horticultural Inspector.
For the information Of the numer-
GUS seedsmen and farmers Of the
State who have been inquiring re-
6arding the matter l wish to explain
that such is not the case, and that
hereafter, all such inspection and seed
analyses will be made under the d.
rection of the University Agricultural
Extension Department, Boise, as they
have been in the past. In order to
economic, however, and increase tho
efficiency of our funds, arrangements
have been made whereby the men
who are employed as deputy horticul-
tural inspectors will become deputy
seed inspectors also, with duties and
remuneration entirely separate from
those given them through the office
of horticultural inspection. Where 4
horticultural inspector does not wish
to act also as seed inspector someone
else will be secured to do the work
in his district.
Seedsmen are requested to secure
copies of the Seed Law, and learn
what is required of them
The seeding season is approaching
and many farmers have not had their
seed grain tested either for purity
or termination. This service is Of
fered free of charge to any one who
will send samples of two to four
ounces.
Address all samples and communica-
tons to
State Seed Commissioner,
r. B. Coglon. Boise, Idaho.

POTATO CELLARS
IN SOUTH IDAHO

An investment of between $50, 900
and $4,000 will be required for south
ern and eastern Idaho to build the
potato warehouses by the locals under
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors
and the plan to be adopted to raise
the funds will probably be- by making
loans through banks in the various
localities which will be secured by the
personal notes of the growers, while
an assessment of from one to two
cents sack will be made on the po-
tatoes handled to meet the interest
and principal, in this way paying out
on the loans. This is the plan that
the growers of the fruit districts of
California followed and it proved to
be an excellent one.

tendent for the potato districts, re-
Gently made trip to California, where
he made close study of the systems
used by growers in handling ship
ments. He also went to Colorado to
inspect and secure plans for potato
cellars and warehouses. The Idaho
cellars will cost from $1,000 to $780,
They will be As or more in number
located in as many different places in
the potato belt Of this state from King
Hill east, on leased right-of-way of
the Oregon Short Line Side track will
be available at the smaller towns. In
the larger places side tracking to the
cellars will have to be constructed.
These cellars will have a capacity of
25, so and Is cars, the capacity of
each warehouse being increased, how
ever, through storage of potatoes in
the runways. Each warehouse will
have man in charge during practi-
cally the entire year and several dur
ing the busy season. They will be
equipped with elevators, sortersj scales
etc, and over the top Of them will be
room for offices. Construction work
on the warehouses will commence
early this spring.

Report on
State Taxes

The state tax commission has
about completed for Governor Haines
detailed report showing the ex-
penses of this state and where and
how the taxes fer 1913 were or are
being spent. The report is one Of
the most complete that has ever
been compiled and is full of interest
ing figures. 1t is the first report iof
its kind ever filed with a governor
of the state and will tell the story
for the first time of the proportion
of taxes that each tax payer of this
state pays to maintain state and
county government.
Shows Where Money Goes
Among some of the facts that the
report will show the startling and
very interesting fact that the annual
cost of the several branches of gov
eminent in this state is $3O12 per
capita, of which 1929 is expended
for the purposes of education, 1918
for roads and bridges and 40 cents
for charity.
The report is not an argument or
a criticism either in defense Of the
required for the mainter
nance OF state and county government
or of state or county officials for the
manner in which money has been
raised and expended 1t shows in
black and white where the money
goes and what it goes for. The re-
port is the result of a request made
by Governor Haines to the commits
sion to compile one from the records
Of the state and counties SO that
the tax payers in Idaho may be able
to see for themselves just what be-
comes of their money. The report
took the combined efforts OF the en-
tire force of the tax commission sew
eral weeks to compile and in some
instances the tax experts had to go
through the books of counties to get
their totals.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1914-02-26

is complete down to the smallest de-
tails. Growers are required to bring
their produce up to grade and pack
and after they haul it to the shipping
points receiving receipt for their
delivery their worry SO far as the dis
posal of the fruit is concerned is at
an end. The result of this organiza-
ton is better prices and higher pro-
fits to the growers and superior hand
ling and distribution Of the crops each
year. The handling of the crops is
down to a strict business basis and
no trouble is now experienced among
the growers.
