NEW BUILDING PROPOSED.
May Occupy Site Of Structure
Wrecked by Fire.

A modern fireproof structure designed
for store purposes may be erected on the
west side of 7th street, between Mar
ket place and D street, nthe site OF
the American and 10 Cent Store, which
was wrecked recently by fire. Dom &
Deming, architects, have prepared pre-
liminary plans for the proposed building
The property is owned by the estate of
the late Fitzhugh Coyle and is handled by
the American Security and Trust Com
pany. It has frontage of nearly fifty
feet and a depth of about 100 feet.
Whether the old building will be rebuilt
or new structure erected in its place
probably will be definitely decided during
the next few days.

RAISING BETTER WHEAT

A great many, in factaaT Farmers
are interested in increasing their
yield per acre of wheat. ii Only few
are willing to substitute for their low
quality but high yielding variety, one
that is of better quality though yield
ing less per acre, as long as there is
no great market discrimination in
price. j
One Of the problems,g then, of rails
ing better wheat becomes a question
of how farmer can increase the
yield of a good quality variety; or
how can he increase the quality of a
high yielding variety?
In 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, three
varieties of wheat were grown on the
Gooding Satisfaction under practically
the same climatic conditions; with
practically the same amounts of irr1-
cation; but upon soil of different fer
tility. The first crop was grown on
virgin SOIL the 1911 crop on soil that
had been in barley the previous year;
the 1912 crop on soil that had been
in barley and wheat the two previous
years; and the 1913 crop on soil that
had been in alfalfa for two years.
The changes that took place in the
protein contents (protein content is
usually considered criterion of quail
ity) of these wheats are very inter-
esting. There was very little differ
ence in the protein content of the
original seed and the 1910 and 1911
crops. The 1912 crop, however,
showed noticeable decrease and the
1913 crop very great increase when
compared with the original SEED.
This decrease must be largely ex-
planned by the fact that the 1912 crop
was grown on a soil that had been
rendered somewhat inferti1e by grow
ing grain the two previous years; and
the increase, because the 1918 crop
was grown on soil that had been
put into the best kind of condition by
the previous crops of alfalfa.

know that it is both unnecessary and
foolish to dispose of it in this way
and your neighbor may not like TO
tell you, so we are doing it for him.

you be dig-busted idiot and try all
spring to burn lot of punk stuff
that ought to be hauled away by the

lazy mans way of cleaning up, to
set fire to it and burn a little at a
time and then after the ashes have
blown into the house and lodged in
the rugs and curtains, stir it up anu
get it to burn little more and be
ready for another breeze to carry
some more ashes into somebody's

Miss Kelly Addresses
Farmers Wives
statesman


Miss Amy Kelly returned Wednes-
day from an extended trip in the
southeastern part of the state, lee
turing the women of the communities,
at the movable schools which have
been held by the University of Idaho,
for the farmers. She reports unusual
interest among the women of that dis
trict. At Malad she had a total of
226 women, at Preston there was
total attendance at the three sessions
of 500 and at briggs, a new and small
place, 1875 women appeared for the
one session, and some hadto leave for
lack of seating capacity.
At Preston, where the meetings
were held in one of the ward meeting
houses, the church authorities wired
the building specially for electricity
and put in an electric range for Miss
Kelly,s demonstrations.
Miss Kelly spoke on planning
Three Meals Day. on this tour, and
found the keenest interest among the
women. The great bugaboo in the
southeast, as it is all over the state,
among the women, is bread-making,
Miss Kelly finds, this being due; in a
large measure, to the diversity in the
grade of wheat used in the local
flours.
AS indicating the real hunger
among the women in the smaller
towns for information along educa-
tional lines, Miss Kelly spoke of one
woman, who had ridden some miles to
attend the meeting addressed by DR..
Sisson, who sat with one babe in her
arms, and two small children beside
her, taking notes while caring for the
three infants.
The meeting at Bull was specially
inexpensive labor saving devices that
Mrs. Harvey of the city has hand
some new home equipped with all the
inexpensive labor saving devices that
an be obtained, and some of the more
expensive ones, which is open to the
inspection of all the women of the VI
cinity and which Miss Kelly found to
be as fine an object lesson on some
of the points upon which she spoke,
as one could wish.
While in the vicinity of the Jack
son Hole country Miss Kelly visited
Jackson's Hole and says that she
would not take anything for the ex-
perience. 'The sight of that game is
wonderful" she said, why, those elk
come up and pose for the
camera man. The experience was GER
tally unique"

related was as follows:
Just before election day the colonel,
who was one of the candidates, learn

glad to hear that, Pat" said he. 81

THAT ASHES OF YOURS

There is one good move in town
that has to be seasoned with some
thoughtfulness TO make it acceptable
to all. The ashes that are spread out
to improve the grade in the street,
must be free from glass and cinders
or somebody's tires will suffer. Be
a good sport and take back anything
that might damage tires, and drop it
where it will do no harm. 1t is a
lot easier for you to do this than
for the other fellow to mend the tire.

MASTITIS

The dairy COW has been specially
bred for centuries for milk proquc,
ton. AS a consequence of her high
state of perfection as a milk produc.
ing animal she is predisposed to nu.
merous diseases. The chief one being
mastitis or Inflammation of the und.
der.
This disease is of great importance
both from the economic and sanitary
standpoint. Milk from the affected
udder usally being rejected for its re-
pulsive odor, taste or appearance.
Infectious agents produce this
trouble in most cases. These organ
isms are pus producers, and can be
found on the bedding, feces, feed
etc. They usually gain entrance to
the glands through the teat canal.
Though in some cases the organism
may come from the body fluids. En-
trance is made more easy by the ami
NAL having a distended udder or by
having a scab on the end of the teat.
In some cases the ELECTION is directly
introduced through opening the teat
canal with darning needles, or dirty
milk tubes.
Usually only one quarter is affect
co, it being red, hot and painful.
There is diminution in the quantity
of milk both from the diseased and
healthy quarters. The milk is usu-
ally acid. The casein in the milk is
precipitated so that it may block the
teat canal. The liquid portion of the
milk is very watery. Sometimes the
contents of the milk cistren are near
ly or wholly pus. In this case we
usually have multiple development
of ASSESSES that may perforate the
udder in several places.

PRINCIPLES OF DRY FARMING

Several years ago, when Prof
Campbell first proclaimed his "sys'
TEN" of dry farming two distinct
emotions were set up. One of these
fostered by the press, took that very
optomistic view that the arid region
would at once be settled up, and den
sely populated by prosperous people
Deserted "shacks" on the plains OF
the arid region testify to the falsity
of this reasoning.
The other main emotion was dis
tictly the reverse. There were plen-
ty of people who maintained they
knew BETTER" and that the arid re-
gions would not produce. The settle
ment of semi-arid regions, where
many farmers are now making COM
Portable living testifies to the un-
soundness of that idea.
The new idea is neither the one nor
the other but both. The doctrine of
Campbell opened up a field brim-full
of new things. Among other things
developed from the exploration of this
field, is the fact now generally recog-
nized, that there is no successful
System" of dry land culture applica-
BILE generally. 1t has emphasized the
principle of soil culture more and
more. Many demonstration" farms
have, with grim humor, demonstrated
how poorly System" works, while
many a parctical farmer has demon
strated that the principles can be sue
cessfully followed.
As the principles of soil culture
become more clearly understood, we
can reasonably hope to see an agrees
sive subsection Of the arid empire,
and it is difficult to see the exact
lines of limitation. Furthermore,
the day is doubtless approaching
when the principles of dry farming
which are really principles of soil cul-
ture, will be applied to irrigation
farming, and rain-farming Just as
carefully as they are today to dry

NOTICE TO SEED DEALERS

Care should be taken to see that
every lot of agricultural seeds offered
for sale in Idaho for seeding purposes
has been tested for purity and that it
conforms to the privisions of the state
pure seed law. For convenience, the
samples of seeds from south Idaho
may be sent to the Seed Laboratory,
State House, Boise; whereas, those
from north Idaho may be addressed to
the Seed Laboratory, Agricultural
Experiment station, Moscow. Samples
received at either laboratory will be
given prompt attention.
Strict inspection of agricultural
seeds has begun and, since the quail
ty of seeds has greatly improved dur
ing the past three years, and also
since testing laboratories are avail
able to all, there can be no excuse for
violating the law which, in it's re-
vised form, is quite reasonable in it's
demands.
