BAD SWITCHING ACCIDENT
Team of w. N. Davie Crushed Be-
tween Cars-Driver Escapes Injury.

Tuesday morning, while Joe Beas
ley, driver for the Davie Grain ano
Transfer company, was driving be-
tween two empty cars between tn.
Fall Creek Sheep company store and
the Oliver & McKown Hardware COM
pany, fifteen loaded cars bumped into
one of the empties just as the team
was between them. One of the horses
was run over and killed instantly and
the other received injuries which it is
believed will render it useless. The
cars we're about twelve feet apart
when the driver started through. The
local freight was moving loaded
wheat cars from the elevators, TAX
ing them to the main track, when fif-
teen of them broke away and started
down grade at a rapid speed Owing
to buildings shutting off the view the
driver could not see until too late to
avoid the accident. A second later
and the wagon would have been be-
tween the cars. The impact was heavy
enough to drag the team and wagon
about thirty feet. The cars were
stopped by the body of the animal
which was killed. Otherwise there
would have been a pile-up at the end
of the spur, a block distant, that prob
ably would have been serious. Beas-
ley remained in the wagon and escap-
ed injury.
The engine was two blocks or NOR,
away when the accident happened
The cars came down so quickly thai
no warning could be given and 1t is
fortunate that it was no worse.

A LESSON IN WHEAT FARMING.

To the Spokane Chamber of Commerce Robert
Burning, wheat farmer of Davenport, gave de-
tailed report of the treatment of three different
quarter sections of land, showing the beneficial
suits of abundant tiage as follows
Quarter No. lay idle until the next June after
harvest, when it was plowed and sowed to winter
wheat in September. When harvested this quar-
ter was shown to have produced IL bushels to the
acre. a total of 1920 bushels, which, at rs cents
bushel is s., 400. #M
Quarter No. was double dsked in the fail af-
ter harvest and double dsked again the next spring
1t was then plowed in June and narrowed once more
before seeding in September. Figuring horses at
81 per day and mans time at 81 per day, the disk
ing on this quarter section cost $128 more than
the first. Narrowing on this same basis cost $24
additional, or total expenditure of $152 more for
labor on this quarter than quarter No. l. but the
treatment yielded II bushels per acre, total of
1920 bushels, which, at rs cents, brought $3,240.
Quarter No. g. in addition to the same work done
on quarter No. 2, was rolled with Campbell packer
Immediately after plowing, and was then narrowed.
The extra cost was figured at $50 for packing and
$24 for narrowing, total of 1924 spent on this
quarter in excess of that on No. 2, and $256 in ex-
cess of that on No. l. hut it showed yield of 35
bushels per acre. or $500 bushels in all, which, at
rs cents per bushe, returned $4,000.
Hence, deducting the extra cost of farming quar-
ter No shows profitFof 81 420 quarter No
l, and $756 over quarter NO. 2.
There is a lesson in this for many Power county
wheat farmers.

ORGANIZING FOR
FORAGE DEMONSTRATIONS.
County Agent Kjosness Makes Good
Progress at Crystal.

County Agent Kjosness returned
from Crystal today, where he has been
since Monday, arranging for demon
strations by farmers. Pea growing and
wintering hogs will be demonstrated
there this year.
The farmers who will plant an acre
of peas alongside an acre of wheat,
and cultivate them in strict accord
ance with the instructions of Mr.. Kjos-
ness are ]. T. Lyons, Joe Thacker, j.
p. Armstrong. John L. Johnston, p
T. Wrensted, W. H. Butterfield and
L. " Hanson. The ground on which
these demonstrations will be made,
was selected by Mr.. Kjosness with
two purposes in view First, to scat
ter them throughout the settlement SO
that all people will be benefited
by coming into contact with the work;
In the second place, to select land that
is typical of the surrounding coun-
try. The object was to avoid the best
land and the most favorable locations
and conditions, and to select such
places as represent the averag econdi-
tions and soils of the locality. At the
end of the season, by following this
plan, not only Mr. Kjosness, but the
farmers as well, will know whether
they can successfully and profitably
grow peas for forage.
Each acre of peas will be planted
alongside an acre of wheat, the plats
fenced to give protection against
stock. and cultivation best suited to
the development of the peas and the
wheat given. Mr. Kjosness Will give
full Instructions as to these matters,
and secured the promise of each farm
er to engage in the demonstration to
strictly follow his instructions. The
cost of the seed, cost of labor, har-
vesting, the feed and market value OF
each and every item having bearing
upon the profitableness of each to the
farmer. will then be figured and the
farmers will know whether they can
make more money by growing peas on
some of their wheat land, or whether
to stick to wheat.
The pig wintering demonstration
will be made by Joe Thacker, M. L.
STANLEY, Geo. Garbert and w. 9, Sny-
der. AS a pasis, the feeds produced
in that locality will be balanced as
nearly as possible, and fed to one lo'
OF hogs. Another lot of the same KIND
will be fed tankage in addition, at the
rate of one sack of tankage to twelve
sacks of the feed fed to the other hogs
The care and feding will be according
TO directions provided by Mr.. Kjosness
For the year following, Mr.. Kjosnes'
will try clover in the Crystal secuoh
One reason for selecting peas for th'
coming year is that they can be thresh
ed with the machines already there
while for clover, clover hulIer woui'
have to be provided. AS rapidly al
possible Mr.. Kjosness will arrange To-
demonstrations in every part OF I'M
county. and hopes in this way to star
the farmers on the road to create
prosperity.

Brought Back Refused to Appear.

known in American Falls, having
been with the Smith Auto Company
during the late summer, has been re-
leased from the Bannock county jail
after being before the public for sew
eral weeks as an embezzler whose
shortages were variously estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Concerning his release the Poca-
tello Chronicle of Tuesday, has the
following to say:
On a statement made by l.. o. Nay
lor, that the charge against walter
Andrews would not be pushed and
that he would not appear against the
man he requested brought back from
North Dakota to face charge of en-
bezzlement, County Attorney c. ID,
Smith ordered Sheriff w. W. Cooper
to release Andrews.
Naylor had advanced the money
TO nav the expenses of bringing An
drews back with the understanding
that II a conviction were secured thai
money might be returned by thr
county commissioners. AS the cas-,
stands, the money will not be repai1
/ to Naylor. Andrews has paid out oi
his own pocket for every meal he at"
while confined in the county jail.
Sheriff Cooper at no time has tax
en- any action in the case unless au
thorized by the proper officials to
do so, and this statement as made ,.
the Chronicle by the sheriff, Is pub
lished to correct some false impress
sions that have been circulated.

ing IN defense of the Bible, was con-
yincingly delivered and worthy OF a
place In the memory chamber OF eY-

onslaughts of ignorance, of supersu-
ton. OF science, of infidelity and ath-
eism and emerged as strong as ever
the one true guide 10 life. Ills sermon

and for everyone who fails TO appre-
ciate the responsibilities OF life.
Monday evening his subject was
heart trouble This message was eq-
ually strong. reple'e with homely. ev-
ry-day lessons and experiences. CON
veying the message that forgiveness
of the transgressions against US are
as necessary to our salvation as ls
Gods forgiveness OF our sins. Forgive

The musical part Of the services are
improving, the chorus getting better
every day The special numbers by
,aul Taylor, the 17-year-old son OF the
angelist are worthy Of special note.
For one OF his age he Is "onderini

years. to gain worldwide fame. His
singing would draw a crowd almo u
anywhere. The cornet solos by Mrs

PARLETTE PHASES ALL.
Gives Grestest Entertainment In the

Ralph Parlette, advertised as a hu-
morist, proved to be one In fact, and
more than that. He is a philosopher.
an entertainer, and sage. Alonk
with his humor were lessons invaiua-
Bile TO young and old. No one could
listen to him without gaining a broad
er view of life and its responsibilities,
and the duties of citizenship. It's hui
NOR alone would make II noteworthy
In any civilized country in the world.
AS sermon, much OF II would grace
any pulpit. 1t was plea for indus
try, high ideals, and humility. His
Illustrations were all from the every
day experiences Of the ordinary life,
told with an effect that made deep
impression. II Is unfortunate that
every school child did not hear It.
for II contained the Lessons they neeo
and to many might have been worth
more than a years schooling. This
lecture, to any thoughtful person, was
worth more than the price of the en-
tire series No reader OF the Press
who ever has an opportunity to hear
Parlette should fail to do so.
On Friday evening of next week tht
third number OF the course will bs
