POTATOES IN PLACE OF BREAD,

If wheat remains at its present
high figure or continues to rise in
price, and if there is a corresponding
increase in the price of bread, scient-
ists in the department suggest that
the ordinary household will find il
advantageous to eat more potatoes
and less bread. With potatoes at SO
cents bushel, 10 cents worth, or 10
pounds, will give the consumer a lit
tie more actual nourishment than
two 1-pound loaves of bread at
cents each. The protein and fat are
present in appreciably larger amounts
in the bread, but the potatoes will be
found to furnish more carbohydrates
and more heat units.
Carbohydrates (starch) contribute
greatly to the energy value of any
diet, and since potatoes are rich in
these families that wish to expend
their money to the best advantage
are recommended to consider whe-
ther they can not make a more ex-
tended use of them. They are easy
to cook and when prepared in differ
ent ways can be made to lend variety
to the winter diet when green vege-
tables are hard to obtain Like other
foods relatively rich in carbohyd-
rates, however, potatoes should be
eaten with foods correspondingly rich
in protein, such as milk, meat, eggs,
etc, and with foods like butter,
cream, and meat fat to supply the
fat that the body needs.
Under normal conditions in Europe
and America the potato ranks next
to bread as carbohydrate food If
prices change sufficiently to make it
desirable from a financial point of
view, there is no scientific reason
why potatoes should not be substi-
tuted to great extent for bread In
addition the potato like many fruits
and vegetables, helps to neutralize
an acid condition in the body. This
Is another reason for its being eaten
in combination with meat, fish, and |
other animal foods.

SCHOOL AFFAIRS.

A number of citizens attended the
school board meeting at the school
house Saturday night. The first
business OF the evening was the se-
lection of director to fill the place
of K G. Phelps, whose resignation
had been handed in at the previous
meeting, because he could not hold
any elective office and serve as post
master at the same time. Fred Crane
was nominated and chosen without
opposition. L. c. Walker was cho
sen as secretary of the board, which
position had also been left vacant by
Mr.. Phelps resignation.
In the selection of superinten-
dent for the coming year, number
of citizens made brief but strong ar
guments for the retention of Prof
G. F. Gorow, for the past three years
at the head of the Richfield schools.
However, on a vote, the board de-
cided to not offer him another con-
tract, and unless this action is re-
scinded, the place Is vacant.
A very strong sentiment for the re-
tention of Mr.. Gorow has been shown
by the potrons of the school, ank re-
consideration would be received with
popular approval.
At later meeting, Tuesday night,
all the other teachers were reelected,
except Miss Stevens. She having been
here only month, not all the trustees
had seen her class work. However,
her work has been so satisfactory to all
who have investigated it, that she is
certain of reelection.

The Earliest Artillery.

We think of the 1S-inch artillery
as distinctly modern. Yet the first
cannon ever taken into the field were
OF that caliber. A crude mortar was
fired at the battle of Crecy, fought
In 1916. The early cannon balls were
chisled from stone, and the projectile,
which fits the ancient mortar, is made
of solid granite. Two powerful men
could scarcely lift it. These ancient
projectiles remained in use for sur
prisingly long time, for it is recorded
that in 1907 a British man-of-war
engaged against the Turks had her
mainmast severed by 70O-pound
stone shot from Turkish battery

England's Tabloid AeropIanes.

The British reason, quite logically.
that the smaller the aeroplane and
the faster it can fly the less the dam
ger of its being hit by shots fired
from the earth. So the British air
men favor an unusually small ma
chine which they call the tabloid. :"
A very light frame is fitted with an
80 horsepower motor, which will
drive the frail machine through the
air at the rate of a hundred miles
an hour. The engine is covered with
armor. The aviator seeking to drop
bomb on the enemy approaches his
target at a height of 5000 feet.
When straight above it, he turns the
nose of his machine straight down
and drops at terrific speed. When
within 500 feet of the target he
drops his bombs as quickly as possi-
Bile and then shoots skyward as at
tremendous pace.-The American

The forest service has purchased
barb wire and local stockmen will
fence a dangerous bog which covers
about ten acres near Mountain City,
in the Humboldt national forest of
northern Nevada. The bog sur
rounds hot spring of which the wa
ter is excellent for bathing purposes
for the relief of rheumatism In the
spring, however, the mud in the
holes about the spring is pushed up
eight or ten inches above the level
of the ground round about, and then
becomes dry and crusts over. This
is deceiving to people, who have sunk
In the bogs to their arm pits, and to

DRY HOMESTEADS.
Idaho Congressman Helps Those
Where Water is Scarce.

/ Representative Smith has had a
long conference with the First Assist
ant Secretary of the Interior, the At
torney General and other officials OF
the Department with reference to
the enactment of legislation which
will allow the reclamation of land,
without residence, by cultivation by
the dry farm methods where it is i'm
possible to secure water for domestic
purposes. Mr.. Smith represented
that there are hundreds of thousands
of acres on the hills and mountain
sides in Southern Idaho above the
water line which could be proftably
cultivated, but upon which homes
could not be established because wa
ter can not be procured for domestic
purposes by sinking wells. He con-
tends that while the country is
threatened with shortage in the
wheat supply, and with -four at So
barrel, that it is the duty of Con-
gress to make the land laws more
liberal in order that those who are
willing to spend their money in the
improvement of lands, could have an
opportunity of doing so and secure
title without residence, and that if
such law were enacted employment
would be given to thousands of peo-
pie and result in the production of
hundreds of thousands of bushels of
wheat on land which otherwise would
always remain idle
Under the present regulations, the
Department insists that this dry land
shall not be designated for entry un-
der the non-residence provision of
the law if water can be secured at a
depth of 250 feet. Mr. Smith has
endeavored to show that this rigid
requirement has discouraged thous-
ands of people from applying for the
land as wells of that depth would
cost from $500 to $1,000 each, which
is frequently the entire capital avail
able and that this investment should
be used in cultivating the ground,
buying seed, ETC., instead of incur
ring the expense and risk of finding
water.
Assistant Secretary Jones has as
sured Congressman Smith that the
matter will receive the most careful
during the recess of |
Congress, and that it is believed that |
4 bill can be formulated which will |
meet the views of the Department
officials and carry out the suggestions
offered. - Washington Correspond

RAISE A GARDEN.
Helpful Advice On Chsaper and
Better Living.

The Agricultural Extension depart
ment of the State University makes
the following pat" suggestions
Further, they are ready to be of sery-
ice in help, direction and suggestion
that may assist anyone along .hesa
lines toward better, more healthful
living at lower cost.
Give attention to the garden, foe
it will pay you we'll. There is no bet
ter investment on the farm than a
good garden, we'll planned, well pro-
portioned, well planted and we'll
worked. Give some study and
thought to it, and with the advice
and help of the good wife, make
special effort to have a good garden
this coming season. A good assort-
ment of fresh vegetables coming to
the table in palatable form through
out the growing season brings health
and happiness to the home, and re-
duces the cost of living very materi-
ally. Especially is this true if
good garden is supplemented with
plenty of milk and butter and eggs
All of these things are possible on
the average Idaho farm and the good
farmer will not neglect any of them.
In arranging your garden have both
early and late crops of the different
kinds of vegetables, so your garden
will not run out"
Keep fresh vegetables coming on
all during the season 1t is not hard
to do. If you can't make and culti-
vate a good garden for your wife,
then do the next best thing and help
her make one. If you can't do that
then at least make and plant your
wife a good garden. AS a matter of
precaution in the latter instance we
would lay down the general PROPOSE
tioD that no man should plant big
ger garden than his wife can culti-
yate.
Any surplus vegetables may be cas-
lily and cheaply canned while in their
prime. In this way you may have the
best substitute for fresh vegetables
the whole year through. 1t is not
difficult to can any sort of garden
sass" by the "cold pack" method
advised by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. In some states
the boys and girls clubs have taken
up this work. Fruits and vegetables,
and even meats, may be provided at
little cost and slight work Why |
not adopt as motto this season,
some fresh fruit and a fresh vege-
table for every meal every day dur
ing the growing season and can of |
home picked fruit and a can of home |
canned vegetables for every day and |
every meal during the fall, winter,
and early spring.
If this is done on even one-half |
The farms of Idaho this season we
will have solved the problem of the
nigh cost of living, and at the same
ime made it possible for ourselves

WHY THEY LOSE.
How the Day-by-Day Farm Ex-
pert May Defeat Himself.

An examination of the market re-
ports for the past three months shows
that unloaded on the market have
been many small pigs, those in poor
condition and many heavy hogs. This
means that now, as has been the his
tory of the industry in the past, the
breeders are unloading heavily, cut
ting down their breeding herds and
selling those that should have been
finished later in the year
A certain percentage of farmers
follow the markets, planning their
farm operations to correspond with
present prices. When grain is high,
they plan to become grain farmers,
when hogs are high they plan to be-
come swim growers. Thus they are
stocking up when prices are high and
unloading when prices are low.
1t is a matter of history that the
man who makes money out of hogs
is the one who follows the business
conservatively and constantly. When
the market is high he has hogs to
sell at a large profit. When the mar
ket is low his profits are small but
in the long run his average is very
good This man never plunges, his
farm is never overstocked or under
stocked with hogs, yet he is the man
who will tell of the profits of swine
growing.
A study of the prices of grain and
hogs show us that at period when
grain goes up it is only question of
a short time until the price of hogs
follows. Often, however, as is the
case today when the price of grain
starts up the price of hogs starts
downward and remains low until the
process is over
An Idaho stockman of great repu-
tation, one who has followed the
game successfully for many years, re-
Gently bought between two and three
thousand shoats that had been un-
loaded on the market On the Twin
Falls Tract he is now feeding them
alfalfa hay, cooked potatoes, and
corn purchased at $165 per cwt
The quality of breeding herds as
we'll as the care and management
have never been as important in Ida
ho as today Just as our dairy stock
must improve on high priced land SO
must the quality of our hogs improve
as the prices of grain go up.
The man who will make profit on
hogs from year to year is the one who
is interested in the work, and who
finds time to give his hogs extra care.
Now is a good time to get rid of
the inferior animals in the herd
Good breeding stock can be purchas-
ed cheaper than at any other time
A pure bred boar is the only kind
that can be guaranteed profitable.
When prices are low no one can af-
'ord to raise and feed poor stock
In the feed of the hogs alfalfa hay
,an be made the basis of the ration
Roots should be fed constantly Mid
ings or shorts is one of the best feeds

Fortunate indeed is the man who has

s no skim milk, when the present
'rices of grain prevail tankage is one
# the cheapest feeds.
