Surveyor Ralph A. Marble has
been establishing the county line
at the northwest corner of Tor
rance county, and was surprised
to find that the extreme corner is
beyond the mountains, the exact
corner being on the west slope
beyond the timber. 1t is re-
ported that this survey shows
that portion of Tome Grant is
within Torrance county. When
the first bill was introduced in
the legislature to create Torrance
county the western boundary was
described as the top of the
mountain range" which was in
a later bill changed to designate
the line by section lines. Evil
IDENTIFY the latter description did
not follow the intention of the
author of the first bill.

EXPERIENCE

|. N. Shirley has wintered
eighteen head of cattle on Rus
sian thistles which he put up last
season. Also four head of hors-
that have had no other feed, and
thistles have been the principal
roughness for four other horses
that were worked and fed grain
The thistles which have fur
nished feed for all this stock
came from ten acres of ground
and there is ton still on hand.
Mr.. Shirley ran a cultivator
through the thistle patch and
then narrowed it to level the
ground and put It in good shape
for cutting and taking off the
crop. The cutting was done be-
fore the plants got tough and
woody, and the result was feed
that Mr.. Shirley thinks is prac-
tically as good as alfalfa.
This experience has made him
an enthusiast on the thistle ques
ton and he will use thirty acres
of land for this purpose this sea-
son.
He is now kicking himself be-
cause for the past seven years
he has been sweating in an eff
fort to kill the thistIes, while in
reality the thing he was trying
to kill had as much value as the
thing he was trying to raise. No
more such mistakes will be made
by him.
Mr.. Shirley says artichokes do
we'll here. He has raised few
and is convinced that they are
we'll adapted to the country and
will prove very profitable for the
nan who raises hogs. He has
out a small patch.
He set out fruit trees when he
irst came here, but did not wa
;er them, and they died. He had
he water, too. Now he has a
pretty little orchard of thrifty
,oung trees, having learned how
% handle them.

MOVEMENT FOR
LOCAL CREAMERY

The meeting held Saturday tc
discuss the matter of establish
ing a cooperative creamery was
quite we'll attended, and much
interest was manifested.
Neal Jenson was elected chair
man and J. A. Constant secre-
tary of the meeting.
There was a general discussion
of the subject, and the concen-
sus of opinion seemed to be that
the idea was quite practical and
within the reach of the people
who would be interested in it,
A sort of agreement or pledge
was formulated and a roll
call secured the pledge of 14O
cows to such an enterprise by
those present. Those present
then made canvass by naming
all those not present whom they
could think of who would be
likely to go into such an enter
prise, with the probable number
of cows they would milk, and
this brought the list up to 800.
1t is believed that this figure can
be largely increased.
After pretty full discussion
committees were appointed as
follows:
To solicit pledges of COWS and
stock in the vicinity of Estancia
&C. M. Douglas, T. F. Mullen,
W. D. Wasson.
To solicit subscriptions of stock
in Estancia and vicinity. S. |

urers of creamery machinery for
the purpose of learning the cost
of plants of different capacity

To take charge of the matter
at other towns as follows:
The meeting adjourned to Sat
lrday afternoon, April 10th,
when it is expected that the
committees will be ready to re-
port.

THE FOOT AND
MOUTH DISEASE

According to the Ell Dorado,
Kansas, Republican, herd OF
512 cattle and 1870 hogs on the
Teter farm near that city have
been pronounced affected with
the foot and mouth disease, by
six state and federal veterinari-
ans and will be killed to prevent
the spread of the disease.
Several large thoroughbred
herds are cared for on farms ad-
joining the Teter farm and siren
uous measures are being adopted
to prevent their infection. The
Teter farm is located on Walnut
river, just below where Satchel
creek empties into the river, and
veterinarians are Of the opinion
that the waters of the creek
brought the disease from infec-
ted cattle grazing farther up.
According to Mr.. Teter, Says
the Republican, "the cattle were
purchased in Oklahoma several
ago. They were unload
here the last of October. Later
100 head were bought at Kansas
City. This fact, according to
the veterinarians, makes it al
most certain that the disease
came from the Scribner or Gra-
per herd. The cattle have been
feeding in five lots on the river,
4 tributary of which runs thro
The Scribner and Graper farms.
The infection probably came
through the water.
" 1t is now my firm belief that
he water carried the infection,
said DR.. Smith. / cannot figure
t out any other way
The cattle are not all affected |
out according to word from there
70 per cent. are suffering with
he disease.
The situation is extremely
,eriIous from the fact that the
1azlett farm, on which the fa-
nous Hereford herd, recognized
IS one of the finest in the world,
8 kept, joins the Teter farm on
he west; on the north the D. E.
'owell herd of pure bred Hol-
teins are kept. In ali, possibly
100000 worth of livestock is
threatened"

NATIONAL DEFENSE

The extreme pacifists of this Ma
ton have always contended that de-
velopment of national defenses en-
courage a war-like policy on the part
of the people and the nation as a
whole. But in view of the fact that a
real danger now confronts the ma
ton some of these extremists are be-
ginning to change their cry to one
of better defense. There is no ques-
ton but that President Wilson has the
whole nation with him in his firm
stand for American rights. There is
no question but what he will have the
whole nation with him when asking
for more ships, more arms and bet
ter equipped standing army. Ameri-
ca has had large amount of good
luck owing to her isolated position
but we should not depend upon luck
Billions of resources are at present
open to despoilation from an invad
ing army. The wealthy America
could in few short months become
as poverty stricken as little Belgium
Preparedness will deter other nations
from meddling. The cost of defense
is good insurance against loss of al
national wealth and the safety of its
people.

CROP OUTLOOK OUR BEST WAR
ORDER

SINoT w 1LoOh oON DEo /" AN
ORDER.
A marked tone of satisfaction is to
be noted in editorial comment on the
governments crop report of July /.
We are to have the largest wheat crop
in the history Of the country, surpass-
ing even the phenomenal yield of last
year, a corn crop that should be the
largest since 1912, and an oat crop
that outmeasures any in recent years.
In the main, however, observers are
more occupied in discussing the mar
ket provided by the European war
for this exceptional production. AS
the New York World says, with the
prospect of the worlds supply de-
pleted by war, and harvests in Eu-
rope everywhere short, this country
has reason to look forward again to
season of prosperity" AS a matter of
fact, the press informs us, this mar
ket was anticipated by American far
mers, who planted record acreages of
all the principal crops. And this ex-
pansion of crop area is described by
the Boston News Bureau as "the fea-
ture of this years farming-a natural
response to the history of farm pro-
ducts and prices since the war broke
out" Last year, for instance, there
were reaped in corn, wheat and oats
190,000,000 acres; this year there are
now 209, 000, 900 under the same crops"
This journal adds:
How generous in volume are the
indicated yields of the major grains
this season may be briefly shown in
the following Tin millions Of bushels).
Only the phenomenal corn crop of 1912
prevented new record in this res
meet.

AS to the wartime consumption of !
our food-stuffs, the statement of the |,
department Of commerce shows an in
crease of 5000, 100000 in the past year
we learn from the New York Journal
of Commerce, which adds:
1.-THE share OF the United States in
feeding the world was disclosed
by the statement of the department
that foodstuffs exported during the
eleven months ending June / were val
ued at 1924 900 900. This was the prin-
cipal factor in the nations billion dol
lar foreign trade balance.
"The effect of the war is seen in the
enormous increase in the value of
food stuffs, compared with the export
figures of the same eleven months a
year ago, when the total was $443, OOO.-
O00
wheat formed the biggest item in
foodstuffs sent abroad In all, 249,-
$500 bushels were exported, an in
crease of 164O0O,000 bushels. 1t was
valued at $319,961 900, showing an in
crease over the previous year of $780,
$4,000.
Oats valued at $51 500 900 were slip
ped, an increase of $51, O28,O00 There
were S6,428,0 900 bushels, an increase of
almost 85,OOO,OOO bushels.
Flour showed the next largest in
crease, with value of $87, 1850, 900 or
$37,638, 900 more than the previous
period. Almost 100000 more barrels
were sent this year, the total being
15,077 900 barrels.
"Corn exports were valued at $34,-
$4,000, an increase of $28,551 900.
There were 43,71S,OOO bushels export
ed, an increase of more than $4,000, 900
bushels"
Americas best asset the Spring
field Republican calls the good crop
loutlook, which can not be affected by
l"diplomatic notes and European war
loans" And this journal goes on to
say:
at is the best of war-orders, be-
cause it comes from the Almighty.
On July /, according to the depart
ment of agriculture, the composite
lcondition of all crops of the United
States was $40 per cent. above the
Iten-year average. Corn, our most val
liable crop, has suffered from unsea-
sonable weather, but the increased
acreage, especially in the south, at
present forecasts a crop of 2,814 ,000,-
900 bushels, which is above the ten
year average by a hundred million.
The forecast of bumper wheat crop
of 963,000000 bushels is dependent
somewhat on a quick change in the
weather in the West, for harvesting to
the best advantage requires warm, dry
days Oats promise a record crop,
but they too now need drier weather.
The forage crops as whole are excel
lent and heavy yields are indicated,
and the forage crops are Of supreme
Importance to livestock interests. Even
if less wheat the coming year should
be exported from the United States,
on account of the increased production
Iof Canada, India and South America,
the prices paid for our surplus abroad
would still yield large profits to
American producers"
In marked contrast to this is the re-
mark of the New York Times that war
profits are ''illusory"; and it points
out that Gin spite Of the high excess OF
exports, the total of our foreign trade
on account of the war actually has
been reduced" Our import trade has
been "disastrously interfered with,
and when imports fall "there must be
a corresponding unemployment of Ia
bor."--Literary Digest.

SHOULD UNITE FOR BETTER CON-
DITIONS

The Twin Falls county Automobile
Club was organized last fall for the
purpose of getting the united support
OF the automobile owners for better
roads, better conditions of travel and
for the suppression of road hogs, and
daredevil drivers. The club has a
membership of about one hundred
fifty or only twenty-five per cent of
the auto owners in the county. The
Times would urge that all owners
Join the association for the sake Of
getting results on the highways. 1t
must be apparent to those who travel
over the county roads that fifty per
cent at least of the county road money
is spent without regard to economy
or permanency of the roads. In 9TH
er words, fifty per cent is wasted each
year in work done having no logical
value to the taxpayer. If the six hun
bred auto owners in this county will
become united, they can then because
of the number of taxpayers represent
ed insist upon conditions that will
cut off on waste. The criminal speed
ing of some drivers can also be regu-
lated better within the club than any
other way. If you are not member
