ED ON THE FIRST DAY
Committee Find RAnchers In Mood for
the Project and Expect to Get Full
Acreage.

The campaign for. the beet sugar
acreage and factory was begun on
Tuesday of this week and the result
was highly pleasing to the committee
of business men. For the first day
with only a small, section of the tract
covered, thirty-three contracts were
siged. A great many more asked for
more time for consideration before
signing, but in no case did the busi-
ness men fail to receive courtesy and
consideration
Thursday, Friday and Saturday an
other group Of business men with
Field Manager Black, of Burley will
take up the campaign in other Sec
tiOns. From the success achieved,
there is no question but what the five
thousand acres will be signed up in
ample time to get the factory for 1916.
Already the sugar company has pre-
pared an architects sketch of the pro-
posed factory. which will be located
near this city and will cost about a
million dollars

Consumers.

Secretary James Mcmillan, of the
Twin Falls Commercial club, is going
to break into the magnate class if the
Icity council and the public utilities
commission will give their consent to
the establishment of gas plant for
heating and lighting purposes. Mr.
Mcmillan has been working on the
project for several months and has
succeeded in getting eastern capital
interested so that the financial end
is assured.
If a franchise is granted it will be
the purpose of the company to put in
a gas plant capable of caring for a city
of at least twenty thousand people
Gas for lighting has been found to
be a sturdy competitor with electricity
because of its cheapness, while for
heating purposes it is said to be much
lower than any price yet given for
electrical service.

Fruit Growers Will Share in
Prosperity
ASSOCIATION BUSY PACKING JON
ATHANS THIS WEEK
Entire Output of Association Has Been
Contracted for by Phillips & Co.. Of
New York.

Fruit growers of the Twin Falls
tract have their share of prosperity
coming this year as the result Of the
splendid arrangements made by the
Twin Falls Fruit Growers association :,
Heretofore as part of the Northwest
Pacific Fruit Distributors association
as selling agent, the fruit growers
have had the overhead expenses eat
up all the profit from the apples which
were selling at low price. This
year the association has signed up
with Phillips & Company, of New
York City, big wholesale commits
sion firm, which agrees to take all
the apples delivered here at prices
that Will net the growers an average
price of $1.15 to $1.25 per box. The
whole output of the members Of the
association will be taken by this firm.
There is no question about the amount
they will take, what is more to the ad-
vantage OF the local growers, however,
is the fact that the local banks are
putting up the money for the crops
and the grower need not wait sixty to
ninety days for his money The price
too is fixed on the day that the grow
er sells the fruit He knows to a
cent what his profits are to be. I'm
der the old plan by the time the fruit
was sold In some distant city the price
may have gone down to the point
where the grower faced loss This
was due solely to the poor marketing
arrangements of the bfg~organization.
The fruit growers have splendid
opportunity this year to make the
success attained permanent by united
support of the association The high
price given makes the offer attractive
and the number of growers who par
tlclpate Will have great deal to do
with the influx of outside buyers next
year.
Busy Packing House.
The warehouse of the association at
present is hive of industry with
something like eighty employees at
work under the big roof sorting,
packing and box making. While
the work is done by the piece a large
number of sorters and packers are
getting good wages running from $500
to $2.75 per day. The box makers get
great deal more and average $3.50
per day. All of the work of grading
and packing is done under the direc-
ton of the Phillips Company. who
have floor inspector in conjunc-
ton with the association
Idaho Apple in Demand.
The Times this week interviewed
r. L. Michael. field representative OF
Phillips & Company, and from him
CLEANED considerable information That
will comfort the local growers. Mr..
Michael's territory takes in the states
OF Idaho, Montana, Washington,
Oregon, Utah and COLORADO and his
work has given him full access into
the conditions within this territory.
Mr.. Michael stated that in no locality
was the fruit mp to standard for sire
this year, nor within fifty per cent Of
normal in quantity. But the apples
Of this tract and Of Idaho In genorrl
are In demand In the east which Will
year after year increase, 90 that the
price will be much better than prices
paid for ether apples. This year Mr..
Michael is confident that thu apples
from this section will command tho
top price.

season becomes very dry as it pro-
crosses. Thus the grower should aim
to control the size of the individual
fruits by thinning and by tillage and
pruning.
1t is sometimes argued that the ex-
pense of thinning makes it prohibitive.
But this is fallacious. While it may
cost relatively large amount per
tree, it is the experience of the best
growers that, as rule, actually more
high grade fruit is produced on tree
which bears only a moderate crop
than on one which is heavily over
loaded, and the average fruit on the
tree with moderate crop is of better
grade than the best fruit on an over
loaded tree.
Another factor Is commonly over
looked when the cost of thinning is
considered. The operation should be
done after the June drop''-which
usually occurs from a month to six
weeks after the poisoning period,
when the imperfectly fertilized and
other weakly developed embryo fruits
drop off-and before the pits begin to
harden. After the June drop" is over
there is but very little dropping of
the peaches. Hence, practically all of
the fruit which remains then will be
on the trees at harvest time. It will
have to be picked then, anyway. 1t is
fair assumption that it will cost no
more and probably considerably less
to pick a portion of the crop in June
ground than it will to pick it later and
put 1t in a basket, where much of it
will have to be handled over several
times in grading and packing and then
finally large quantities discarded as
culls because the fruits are so small
tree will sometimes ripen less uni
formiy than on a tree that has mod
crate crop.
1t has already been stated that the
development of the pits is. an exhaus-
tive process. Therefore, the limiting
of the number of fruits tends to con-
serve the vitality of the tree A large
portion of the flesh of the peach is
water; hence, if the soil is well sup
piled with moisture the development
of the edible portion of the fruit makes
a relatively light demand on the
strength of the tree.
The United States department of
agriculture, Washington, will send in
terested fruit growers, free of charge,
it's farmers bulletin (No. 632) on
Growing Peaches" which gives in de-
tail much information on the pruning
of trees, renewal of tops, thinning, in
terplanted crops and special practices.

THE SWORD OF BUNKER HILL.

'''76 is Forever to Be Sung"-Anon.
He lay upon his dying bed
His eyes were growing dim
When, with a feeble voice, he called
His weeping son to him:
Weep not, my boy" the veteran said,
I bow to Heavens high will;
But quickly from yon antlers bring
The sword of Bunker Hill"
The sword was brought the soldiers eye
Lit with a sudden fame
And as he grasped the ancient blade,
He murmured Warren's name,
Then said: My boy. 1 leave you gold.
But, what is richer still,
l leave You, mark me, mark me now
The sword of Bunker Fill!
Twas on that dread. immortal day
We dared the Briton's band;
A captain raised this blade on me
I tore it from his hand!
And while the glorious battle, ragged,
1t Hghtened Freedoms will
For, boy, the God of Freedom blessed
The sword of Bunker Hill.
''Oh, keep the sword" his accents broke
A smile and he was dead;
But his wrinkled hand still grasped the
blade
Upon that dying bed.
The son remains, the sword remains,
Its glory growing still,
And twenty millions bless the sire
And sword of Bunker Hill.

The rotting of timber is caused by
the work Of fungi, very minute living
organisms, which get into the crew
ices of the wood. The fungi feed on
certain substances in the wood and
cause it to break down or rot. Like
all other living organisms these fungi
require heat, air, and moisture, in ad-
dition to their food supply. If the soil
contains the right amount of air and
moisture for the best growth of fungi,
the decay of fence posts is rapid, but
In very dry soil the decay is slow.
Hence the life of post depends some
what on the kind of soil in which it
is set, and the success OF any preserva-
tive treatment depends on the degree
to which it excludes air and moisture
as well as its effectiveness in poison
ing the wood.
