HAVE THE RIGHT RING.

AS a result OF a personal visit to
the Salmon River and Oakley irriga-
tion projects by Governor Alexander.
he assures the people in a press in
terview that a perfect understanding
between the settlers and the COM
pany and the state will result.
"All three parties interested-the
settlers, the state and the companies
will, ! am sure, work cooperative
ly In the future" said Governor AL
exander, speaking of his trip. Il per-
sonally met the settlers and talked
matters over with them. A perfect
understanding has been reached"
Summing up the trip through
these projects, the governor closes
the interview by saying:
Il am more impressed now than
ever before that the state OF Idaho-
has a moral obligation to discharge,
and that is to extend aid to the bona
fide settlers upon these tracts and to
give them its moral support and en-
couragement and to see that they
have justice done them and that they
are permitted to live upon the land
and prosper. We cannot afford to
lose one of the pioneer men and wom-
en- who have demonstrated their abil-
ity to struggle with elements that the
ordinary person would shirk and who
have stood for years by their homes,
and with all their difficulties they are
still hoping and persevering along
for the day of deliverance to come.
believe that day has come. / believe
that from the greater understanding
between all parties that these splen-
did lands, endowed by nature with a
powerful fertility, shall be success
fully titled by those sturdy settlers
and with a water supply that can be
made adequate for lands now under
cultivation and that a new era viii
dawn upon all of these people"
Governor Alexander has been Sian
dered and abused for many OF hi

1t has always been our contention
that the State had a moral duty t,

While we have not the figures
from Idaho at hand, we believe the
next ten years will st DIV a far more
rapid increase than is shown by any
OF the states above mentioned, as
our opportunities are greater, and
with the various irrigation systems
OF the state being brought into
state OF perfection there is no dan
ger of failure OF crops due to
drought as has been the history OF
the states above mentioned. Looking
at il from every point OF view Idaho
has a great future to look forward
to and the great North Side tract will
add its quote and more TO the aver
age increase In the value of farm
products of this state. These in
creases mean more money to the pro-
ducers and a corresponding increase
in the bank deposits, a lower rate Of
interest to the borrower, and general
prosperity for all Let everyone get
the optimistic fever, and Idaho will
outstrip any state in the Union in
the next decade, and we might add
we predict that the North Side tract
will take the lead over all other sec
tions OF the state in the increase OF
farm products.

1t is a hard proposition to
change from city work and be
come a successful farmer. You
know what sever training a
farmer would have to 60
through to succeed as a banker,
a manufacture or as a publish
er of a daily paper. 1t is just
as hard tor a city man to
master farming but it is worth
IT,. The successful farmer IS
financially independent. No
man can discharge him, he can
have more comforts ia his
home and live better than the
city man. His work is con
structive work and develops
executive ability, forces him to
acquire a large fund Of practical
knowledge and gives him a
broad vision Of lite. 1t is
worth it, Southwest Trail.

MUSEUM NOTES
Great Number of FloweFing Plants
Shown During the Season.

Shown During the Season.
The flower season may be said to
have begun this year on March II
when hepaticas were brought to the
Museum. Since then there have been
tables Of wild flowers on display con-
stantly. Even now there are several
varieties Of bright flowers. including
blue and white Violets; and many in
teresting fruits, ferns. MOSES and
club MOSES are exhibited. sum-
mary Of the records made this season
show that 534 species of Towering
plants have been displayed on the
Museum flower tables. only 48 Of
these having been collected or sent
IN from outside our local range. Be
side these plants. 46 species Of ferns
and fern allies, 40 species Of sedges
and grasses, and to date 16 species Of
MOSES and lichens have also been ex-
hibited. Twenty three additions have
been made to the list Of the local
flora. and the specimens in both To-
cal and general herbaria have been
largely increased by the collecting
trips through the summer and by ex-
changes with members Of the Yer
mont Botanical club and Of the New
England Federation of Natural His
tory societies.
The fall migration of birds is
nearly over, leaving with us beside
our permanent resident birds only
the harder Of the summer residents
that come to us early in the spring
and are late in leaving. The Bird
Calendar shows now the permanent
residents and the following birds:
Red-tailed and broad-winged hawks,
goshawk, crow, junco, pine sislSin,
cedar waxwing, fox sparrow, flicker,
song sparrow, tree sparrow, robin,
bluebird and winter wren. This Is
the season for encouraging the friend
ship Of the birds that will stay in this
climate through the winter. A bag Of
suet hung in a tree that can be seen
from ones window and a feeding shelf
placed outside a sunny window and
kept well supplied with crumbs, seeds
and fresh water will attract feathered
guests and furnish much pleasure to
the friend of birds.

LARGE YIELD OF POTATOES
Arthur l.. Welcome, II Years Old
Raises 1915 Pounds from One
Sixteenth Acre.

Last April, Arthur L. Welcome, IA,
son Of Edward L. Welcome, Of West
Chesterfield. n. H, Joined the Boys
Potato club, with eight others. under
the direction of L. A. Carlisle Of the
state college at Durham. Each planted
e-sixteenth of an acre Of potatoes.
The boy took entire care of his plot,
and did all the work himself, except
what team work was necessary, such
as blowing narrowing. etc.
He sprayed his plot four times, with
home-mixed Bordeaux mixture, after
the formula given out by the state.
The results are very gratifying, and
the yield remarkable. as he has just
finished harvesting 1895 pounds or
33 IA bushels, which is at the rate
Of 532 bushels per acre. The tubers
are fine and an smooth an one would
wish TO see.
The crop was dug by Clifton J.
Stoddard. Mr.. Welcome and his son;
the weighing was done and sworn 70
by Mr.. Stoddard. The next largest
yield Of any member Of the club was
10 SIS bushels. The variety planted
by the Welcome boy was the Green
Mountain. and the results show that
spraying pays. as his vines were green
until long after all others were dead.
