A DIFFERENT
PAPER NEXT WEEK

!. Next week we shall issue a
!. farmers magazine section as
!. part of The Idaho Republican,
!. or rather in place of it. We
+ shall not give very much at
+ tention to news for the one
|. issue and will print the best
! farm number we can.
!. In times gone by we have
!. issued school editions, canal
!. editions, Christmas editions
. and some booster editions, but
. next week we are going to
. tell our readers something
. about the country and
. country life as it is. We shall
: tell as much as we can about
: how to make country life
= what we think it ought to be.
: We shall speak with some
. authority for we have been
) getting our information from
; the farmers themselves. We
) have worked nearly all fall
; on the farmers special and
we hope to work on the sub
) ject again next fall, only we
shall begin earlier-several
months earlier.
The magazine section next
week will consist of IL pages
printed on book paper. Be-
sides discussing farm prob
lens we shall say a few
things about some of the
farmers-just few of them
that we couldn't help saying
something about. We did not
at first intend to mention any,
body else in the same issue,
but we found a few town peo-
: pie who seemed so sincerely
interested in farm problems
and so anxious for united ef-
fort at better farming, we
shall mention few of them
and we recommend that
country folks and town people
get a little closer to each
other anyhow and see how
much more mutual their in
terests are than they had
supposed.
1t is a big job for country
weekly to get out a special
edition of the paper. Not
many people know it, but take
our word for 1t, the printers
and publishers know it. 1t is
generally done in addition to
a full program Of regular
work but in order to make
our work easier issuing the
farmers special we are giving
less of the regular edition.
The purpose of the maya
zine section is to carry out
some ideas suggested by the
publication of our crop re-
ports this fall. To convey to
the best farmers some infor-
nation that will help them to
farm still better and to con-
y to the poorer farmers and tn
lure farmers some informatio
at will enable them to farm a gres
al better. To convey to the peopl
10 read the paper in other state
correct idea of the resources {
Is county and some of the naturt
oblems that are here to be ovel
me. 1t is not sent out as "booste
ition," but as a plain optimisti
ltement of the facts, and If the
q it they can come to this count
d find it as represented in print.
We think We have as good an az
district as there is any
lere and we suggest to our reader
1t when they have read their farm
: special, or magazine section, tha
