SUNSHINE AND SUGAR BEETs,

SUNSHINE AND SUGAR BEETS.
The Oregon Agricultural colleg'
has issued timely bulletin upon thu
sugar beet industry in western Ore
gon, Just now when the topic is ;
hive one this discussion by the mel
Of science is of especial interest. Tn,
following are extracts from the bull
letin:c eataa af; asiii
"One Of the chief advantages of es,
tablishing a successful sugar beet In
dussry in Oregon is that the use oil
another made-in-oregon product
would be achieved. Sugar is an ar
ticle that is used by everyone and
not produced in the state. On the
basis Of the per capita consumption
OF 80 pounds annually by oregonians
the total yearly consumption is
55.166,750 pounds, for which money
is sent out Of Oregon. Keeping this
money at home would be big ad-
vantage to the entire state as we'll as
to the locality in which factories we're
located. This fund would be redis-
tributed among farmers and other
producers and again used in the
various industries and professions.
AS plant, the sugar beet is adapt
ed to rather warm, sunny sections
that are well supplied with moisture.
It has long been known that the sue
cess of sugar beet culture depends
upon the sunlight of the locality, and
1t is therefore usually a good plan
to grow sugar beets in sections where
there is a large amount of summer
sunshine.
1T Is true that considerable
amounts of nitrogen and potash are
taken away by sugar beets, but with
the sugar beet pulp brought back
from the factory and fed to the stock
there is practically none Of this fer
tility lost. If sugar beets are grown
in good rotation with clover, It is
very likely that the fertility condi-
tions of the soil will improve rather
than run down as a result of the cul-
ture Of this crop.
"The other and most desirable fea-
ture Of the sugar beet crop. aside
from its being a cultivated one, is
that 1t means considerable cash re-
turn for each acre in beets II that
acre is properly handled. The yield
OF beets varies from ten tons per acre
up to, in some cases, as much as 1g
to 20 or more tons, when grown un-
der very favorable conditions. and II
yields of IL tons or better are secured

Heavy Blow Kills Woman.

Mrs George, the wife of rancher
living about two and half miles
northwest of Star, met death Wednes-
day evening while she was assisting
her husband in taking the casing out
of a well on their homestead.
The accident was a somewhat Pc
culiar one. Mrs. George was handl-
ing lever by means of which they
were lifting and struck her with great
force cross the upper part of the alb
domen. in the heart region.
A Boise physician was called i'm
mediately, but the woman lived but a
few minutes after she was struck. His
examintion led the physician to be-
lieve that the heart had been rupt,
ured. She died without any apparent
pain.
Mrs. George was a woman about sc
wears old and of robust health. She
leaves, beside her husband, several
children.

COOPERATIVE CREAMERIES
TO STANDARDIZE PRODUCTS

BY the organization of the Southern
Idaho Dairy Products Association the
cooperative creamcries and dairy pro
ducts companies of southern Idaho
have made distinct step towards a
new and brighter era.
The association will, through the
field manager, c. A. Scott immediate
" begin to standardize the products.
The creamerieS will adopt one brand
for their butter creating more uni
form market.
The officers of the new association.
formed last week, are: J. Pipher,
Nampa. president; J. +. Noble. Pay
cite, vice president; Frank Galley.
Parma, treasurer; G. NJ. Bassett Cald-
we'll secretary; and c. A. Scott, who
has had years of experience in dairy
work, field manager.
Applications for membership are
coming in fast, and it is expected that
the whole of southern Idaho will soon
be in the association.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK I'M
PROVING ALL ALONG
THE LINE

With the Union Stock Yards buying
ZOO tons of alfalfa each month at the
rate of $500 in the stack, and the
three creameries paying in the dull
lest month of the year-July-ove
$l2,500O0 to the farmers around Cald-
we'll for cream, besides about $780,
90 for eggs, the business of farming
does not look so bad as it might.
The horse business built up by
the Caldwell Horse & Mule COM
pany has grown to be the largest in
the northwest, though the average
farmer in this community benefits
more by the hay used than by the sale
of horses.
The fruit and grain crops look bet
ter than ever before at this time, and
if the news of conditions in Kansas
brought home by Mar. Jos. Dickens
obtains to any considerable extent in
other sections, the Idaho farmer is in
the way of making a great deal of
money this year.
The wheat in the great Kansas
wheat belt was ready for the harvest
July 4 and up the first of August had
not been touched, because of the con-
slant rains. Thousands of acres of
potatoes in the same state are rot
ten, total loss. The commission
merchants informed Mr.. Dickens that
they would be looking to the Idaho
growers to supply their market, so
prices should be better than last year
The drought of last year in many
states in the east and middle west
severely injured the fruit trees-this
year the trees show a large portion
of dead limbs, and the crop is very
much under the average.
The farmers of Idaho will welcome
their brothers living in less favored
sections, and the prospects for large
number Of them availing themselves
of this welcome, is verv good.

COL. DICKENS RETURNS
FROM EASTERN TRIP
Rains in One Section and Drough:s
in Another is State of Affairs.

As stated in the last issue of The
Tribune Col. and Mrs. Jos. Dickens
have returned from the east. They
had very pleasant trip but were glad
to pet home again. When seen by a
representative of The Tribune, Col.
Dickens said:
I'm glad to get back to the land
where they can make it rain with a
shovel. Considering the great amount
of rain that has fallen in the last
seven weeks, which amounts to a lit
tie over thirty-seven and half inches,
| found business conditions very good
in the Missouri river country.
After leaving Denver on the main
line of the U. P. R. R., we soon
got into the Colorado Kansas desert
wheat fields, in that level country
where you could see the yellow grain
for miles on each side of the car
Places along the line from each side of
the car you could see a distance of
ten or fifteen miles Of nothing but
yellow wheat standing in the mud
which should have been cut three or
four weeks ago. Not a wheel could
turn-So how we thought of the ir,
rigation bitches of Idaho!
This condition extended to Topeka
Kansas. Then we struck the Cav
river where they generally raise en-,
ormous crops of potatoes, but now
nothing but a bank of mud in the
bottom lands. and these conditions
continued as far as the Missouri river,
where it also existed. The corn on
the prairie lands would look very good
but it is very weedy. There will be
no potatoes to speak of in Kansas,
Nebraska or Missouri, so | think it
would be advisable for our people in
Idaho, who have large crops of pota-
toes, to dispose of the same and get
busy making money, for our potatoes
in the east have gained a reputation.
Also. the fruitmen will get a ready
market in those states for their out
put. For the last two years were
very droughty and the old orchards
are almost all dead.
Il think we people that are living in
the Boise valley and in the Snake
river valley should be glad we live in
a country that can control the mois-
ture so we are almost absolutely sure
of bountiful harvest. when our land
is nut into good condition and the
seed we'll sown. As for me. | am
glad own patch of dirt in the Gem
State. and, | am glad that ten years
ago Idaho said to me: Come.

BAKER CITY WAS EASY
VICTIMS FOR CALD.
WELL TEAM

In game of baseball Sunday. at
Recreation Park, the Baker CITY team
heralded as champions of Eastern
Oregon, went down to defeat by the
score Of I'll, The game was featur-
ed bv the inability of the visiting team
to savvy any part of the game and
the hard hitting of the locals, who
garnered twenty-five hits in all and
outside Of one inning, held the visi-
tors runless.
Caldwell scored one in the first, and
from then on to the end Of the game,
local baserunners were stepping on
each others heels, going across the
home rubber. Bakers first pitcher
was batted off the rubber in the third
inning and changed places with the
daTst baseman, who endeavored to
stop the run-getting Of the locals, but
Jared worse than the first one, and
he in turn, handed the burden over
to the short-stop and the only thing
he had on the ball was the seams, and
they could be seen very easily, with
out much strain to the eyes. After
the game had taken on the aspect of
track meet, the local team did some
shifting, Webb and Bigbee changing
places, Stanley HURT taking the place
of Ike Westcott on first and Duke"
Anderson took the box, in place of
"Aleck." Duke" beaned the first man
that faced him, but no scoring was
made off his delivery and only one
hit. The game was a great disap-
pointment to the local fans. because
the Baker team had reputation for
some fast ball and it was thought that
they would give the home team a run
for the money.
Twin Falls Coming.
Next Sunday the team from Twin
Falls is going to invade the local
sand lot, with the intention of giving
the Caldwell team the trimming OF
their lives. They are reported to
have a strong team and if their re-
putation is worth anything they will
give the home ball toSSers a run for
the money and the game will be well
worth seeing. This team comes for
three games, playing Monday and
Tuesday, as we'll The week dav
games will be twilight affairs and will
start at OILS, giving all the business
men chance to attend. A challenge
has also been received from HALEY
who claims to have a fast aggrega.

CAVALRY HORSE DEMAND
PROVES TO BE SLOW
Prices Realized at August Hore Sale
Slightly Lower.

Buyers from Denver and Twin
Falls have been most active pur-
chasers in the monthly sale of horse
flesh at the Union Stockyards While
the market has been sagging a little,
high prices still prevail for good ami
mails. Sales at around $l65 have been
frequent. Absence of 5000 prices are
attributed more to the class of ami
mails offered this month than to any
serious market decline Buyers Of
army steeds seem inclined to hold
back somewhat until there is { better
movement of this class OF horses in
the east.

LAST HALF OF TAX MONEY
NOW BEING CHECKED UP
Canyon County Treasurer Reports
Collections to the Auditor.

County Treasurer Sarah J. Handy
and Assistant Treasurer Newell were
engaged Thursday in turning over
their report of tax collections up until
July S, which ended returns from the
1914 taxes. The report now has gone
into the hands of the county auditor,
to be checked up by him.
The total of the second half collcc-
tons was $76,05S. Delinquent taxes
for this period are slightly under ST.
10000. A direct comparison with fig
ures for the same collection last year
is not yet possible Mrs. Handy says
however, that she considers the result
satisfactory and believes il will be up
to the usual standard in Canyon
county,
1t is pointed out that legislative
requirement provides that this report
is to be turned over tothe auditor one
week after the established delinquent
date. The utter impossihility of get
ting the report ready in Canyon coun-
ty in this short time is pointed out.
Employees in the local Office assert
that it would be impossible in that
time even to get out all the receipts to
parties who send in their taxes at the
last minute by mail 1t is doubted
that even in the smallest counties OF
the state this requirement is met.
However, that may be, Mrs. Handy's
office is turning over the report car
lier than has been customary in this
county.
Treasury is Fattening Up.
1t is pointed out that Canyon county
is now fast catching up with outstand-
ing warrants. All warrants issude Fri
or to April l have been called in,
funds to pay them with being on hand.
1t will be remembered that the alb
scence of cash in the county treasury
has been largely due to shift in
funds made by the new adminitsra-
ton. By this transfer about $4,000
was taken from the hneral expense
fund and put in the road and bridge
fund. This has left the treasury COM
paratively empty, but the Golfers are
now being filled.
