the yields per acre raised by these
boys had been circulated in those
states, / dare say the people would
not have believed it any more than
the man at Crookstona believed me
when y said that we could raise 60
bushels per acre. The Red River
Valley Of the North has long been
known as the bread basket of the
world, and these boys have proved
that we not only lead in small grains
but also in corn.
We little realize what this means

we do not want to stop right here,
for there is a great deal more to be

never attended a Farmers Short

what I learned something Of great
value. During the, Farm Crops
show recently held at Crookston, Mr..
Brown the potato man, told the peo-
pie that there was hardly a sample of
potatoes there but what was affected
by the potato disease. He also told
how it could be eradicated by soak
ing the seed potatoes in solution of
corrosive sublimate Of four ounces to
twenty-five gallons Of water for an
hour and half.
That one thing alone is worth
many thousands Of dollars to Mar
shall county if the people will only
put it in practice. And this fore
noon he promised TO tell us how we
could lengthen the corn season three
weeks by improved methods of seed
selection and cultivation, and that
will be during this. short course, prob
ably next Friday, so be sure to hear
him. There is no telling but what we
will be raising bananas yet.

Weed Control.

The prospects at this time for the
enactment of a progressive weed law
are not very encouraging, according
to Superintendent Selvig of the
Northwest Experiment Station, at
Crookston. The conditions differ so
greatly in the various sections of the
state that it is difficult to frame bill
which will meet the needs OF all locals
tiles. He goes on to say that while,
a weed law compelling careless farn1,-
ers to decrease the weed areas gradu
ally each year, and requiring more at
tention to be given to weed eradiea-,
ton, would be highly desirable, SELL
that a great deal can be done if each
farmer seeks to solve the problems on
his own land or on the Farm he is sill-
ing
It is impossible in a brief nase to
give full directions regarding weed
killing. A rotation plan must be
followed and cultivated crops are ne
cessary. Very likely there Is some
one IN the neighborsood whip has a
perfectly clean farm, He will tell
you how he did it. No one wishes to
see this beautiful and fertile valley
giving up it's fertility to weed growth.
It may be said that the tweed stage
is inevitable. It is not. Good farm
ing methods pay directly and TWO Of
the greatest indirect returns are that
the fertility Of the soil IS maintained
and that the farm will be clean.
IF you have not planned to start a
rotation this year; do SO. If in doubt
as to practical plan. talk your pro-
blem over with the high school agri-
cultural instructors, your county ag-
emit, or write to the, Experiment Sta

Tha Music Of Ireland.

Although it is not long since the
opinion was generally entertained that
Ireland had been sunk in barbarism
until the English INVASION says
Groves Dictionary Of Music and Mu-
sicians," historical and antiquarian
researches have esta blshed the fact
that the island was in early times the
seat of Christianized learning and a re-
markable artistic civilization. The
music of Ireland, In particular her
ancient school Of harp playing, has
from early times been in high repute,
having been lauded in the writings Of
Brompton, Giraldus Cambrensis, Dante
and John OF Salisbury Twelfth cen
tury). The latter writes thus: The at
tention Of this people to musical instru-
ments I find worthy Of commentator,
In which their skill is beyond COMPARE
son superior to that OF any nation

CONGRESSMAN SMITH
STUDYING DRY FARMING

Congressman Addison T. Smith has
been devoting considerable time since
his return to the state at the close of
Congress, to investigating the dry
farming conditions In southern Idaho.
and has Travelled over five hundred
miles by auto in visiting the various
sections, gathering data with reference
to the depth of wells to secure water
for domestic purposes, with a view of
using this Information before Congress
In support OF his bill to require resi-
dence only on dry lands where water
a be obtained for domestic purposes
at a depth Of fifty feet.
The settlers have appointed Mr..
Henry G. Gettert of Twin Falls, to as
sist Congressman Smith IN gathering
this information and to take photo
graphs OF the growing crops and i'm
provements on the dry land home
steads, to be exhibited by Mr.. Gettert
by lantern slides before the committee
on public lands, house OF representa-
tives, Washington, ID. C, when the
proposed measure is taken up for con-
.sideration by the committee, when
congress %convenes. It has been found
tina In many instances the settlers
have to haul water for a long distance.
In some cases as far as ten miles, for
domestic purposes, and also that fire.
quentIy 1t is kept standing In barrels
until 1t Is unfit to drink, because of
the expense incident to hauling the
water, and the lack of means of the
homesteader.
Mr.. Smith contends that the settlers
should be allowed to offer proof Of
cultivation as an evidence of good
faith, rather than to be required to
live upon the land. Great hardship is
entailed upon the entrymen and their
families by requiring them to live on
the land or run the risk Of having
their entry contested. II residence
was not required many men without
capital would. be able to get a home
stead and make themselves independ-
ent but II they are required to live
upon the land they are deprived of the
opportunity Of earning money at
wages and because of their being 40
remote from the market, and unable
10 raise a garden, often suffer for
the necessaries of life. Mr.. Smith
argues that there Is no more reason
for requiring the settlers to live upon
the dry land than to require them to
i've on land when entered under the
desert land law, and will endeavor to
secure the cooperation of the west
ern senators and members towards
securing the enactment Of a law next
winter, which will permit entrymen
under the dry land law to live where
they please within the state, as ia the
case under the desert law. but reouire
that as an evidence Of good faith AT
ieast one sixteenth of the land shall
be cultivated the first year, one eight
the second year, and one fourth the
third year
There are great quantities of land
IN the southern part of Idaho remote
from n source of supply OF water for
domestic purposes, which could profit
ably be cultivated by the dry farm
method, but unless such n law 10
passed, as Congressman Smith pro
poses, 1t will continue to be always
unproductive.
