Wants to MOdernize
Fred West, two miles west of
Snake river bridge, raised few acres
: of corn, and wants to bnild a silo.
He thinks that If somebody with a
sthresher outfit would invest in a corn
harvester and do custom work for the
men who build silos, one year would
show them how easy a matter it is
to harvest corn crop and fill silo
and all the progressive fellows would
want silos because they would stand
for profits in stock feeding He has
about 100 hogs and is buying beet
tops of his neighbors at So an acre
to feed them. This makes beet tops
cost only about Is cents load, and
the labor Of hauling, and he consid,
ers that the cheapest fall feed he can
get for stock,
/ Look Out For Him
Farley P. Price, who bought part
of the Felt farm in 1913, has given
US some very interesting facts about
stock raising, which we shall publish
in a separate article next month. Mr..
Price moved his family here from
Salt Lake City in 1914, just to try
Idaho to see if they liked it, and they
fell in love with the situation right
away. They built a modern house
and have raised hay and a few other
things, not anything in particular for
our present crop report, but while he
has been getting settled and adapted
to the new location, Mr. Price has
done some looking around and has
made some comparisons that will be
interesting and valuable to others.
Mr.. Price has we'll, wash house, a
washing machine and gasoline en-
CINE all in and under little build
ing just outside of the kitchen, and
the engine does all the heavy lug
ging they can give it, Mr.. Price says
it pays to have such a water system
and such slave, and it is joy be-
sides. In winter he feeds sheep on
the place, and the engine waters the
sheep. A number of the friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Price have come up
from Salt Lake to visit them, and
they all want to stay here and farm.
One of them, Mr.. o. w. Jones, was
so delighted he walked out into Mr..
Felt's wheat field, and after admiring
IL d ouUlI IlulC, pIOOOOuOu w Wy w
buy the place. Mr.. Felt did not want
to SELL Mr.. Jones said the whole
country looked so good to him he
could probably find another place that
suited him. Somebody took him out
to see a field belonging to Mr.. Henesh
and he looked it over carefully and
bought it at the first examination.
He will be back to make his home
the first of December. Beware of Mr..
Price. II you talk with him short
time you will 60 and buy farm and
begin to make money as soon as you
can turn something.
Didn't Fudge"
Arthur Broadhead, at Thomas:
Beets, nine acres, II tons; potatoes,
four acres, 1874 sacks; oats, four
acres, 7S bushels; hay, IL acres, five
tons. Mr.. Broadhead raised 81 tons
of beets per acre last year, and he
got joke on himself this year that
cost him, he thinks, $25 an acre.
He had boy doing the thinning,
and he wanted the plants left 16 to
Is inches apart, but he got it into
his head that the boy was not going
to do it just the way he told him, so
he instructed the boy to thin them
to eight or ten inches apart. The J
