Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, October 2S.-tSpecial. )--At the opening the market showed a buying de- mand which came as a surprise to fhe To- cal trade and the spot houses, but as Liv- erpool became weak under the political advices they became heavy sellers on the prevailing idea that in the absence of a normal export demand the accumulation of cotton in the south will have to be mar keted at lower prices. Of course. in war times every one must expect slower distribution of the crop than in normal times, but the south knows just as we'll as the exporters. and with present financial abilities and the experience of last win ter they may not press their crop for sale as rapidly as exporters think they will for what good will 1t do them. A ques- tion of a different price will not stimu- late exporters under present conditions, but slow process of marketing is apt to distribute the crop on a better range of values, as the south found out last year. After the close January was in demand at 12c and spot houses bought during the afternoon.

STAGE SCENERY
Scenery for City Hall Arrives and
is Installed this Week.

The stage scenery for the Richfield
city hall arrived Friday of last week
and Marshall Poteet is now setting il
in place.
1t comes from the studio of Schroe-
der Bros. of Hepburn, and there is no.
thing better in the state. There are
three roll curtains and several sets of
wings and interiors so that almost any
ordinary play can be put on without
adaptation. The Workmanship Is of the
best and the people Of Richfeld can
congratulate themselves on having as
good as there is anywhere. The day
is coming when anything bearing the
name Schroeder" will be worth more
than its face value.
The local dramatic company expected
to have a play ready to put on the
last of January, but delay in getting
really good act has made it necessary
to postpone the production. However,
they are negotiating for something
they can put on on short notice, and
it will doubtless be announced within
the next few days. A bowling comedy
may be the first BILL

Eamous salt Mines.

The great rock salt mines of Hun
gary are among the wonders of the
world, for the illimitable deposit OF
practically pure salt enables the work
men to cut it out In heavy blocks,
much as marble is quarried after
which It is loaded on trucks and sent
to the mills for grinding. Rock salt,
it may be said, constitutes the worlds
principal supply of refined salt, and the
Hungarian mines furnish large
portion of this commercial necessity.
Underground passages of considerable
width, resembling streets, have been
cut at regular intervals, and the whole
is we'll lighted In one Of the mines
near the Roumanian boundary q large
chamber, with benches and seats, has
been cut, where occasional gatherings
are held, and perhaps in honor OF this

of the many shades of rare marble and

RURAL TELEPHONE
Farmers Organize and Elect OF
ficers to Promote Scheme

The farmers north of town are to
have phone system this spring, es
soon as they can complete the neces-
sary details. They have been talking
of it for year or more but only last
week was the plan finally consum-
mated.
w. ]. Taper, who has had long
experience with cooperative tele-
phones in Iowa before coming to Idaho,
is president Of the organization, and
Sidney Bloom is secretary. They ex-
pect to arrange for switchboard serv-
ice here in town, and to give their
patrons the same town service as is
now given to any patrons. They will
are enought of the farmers interested
to make that individually easy. The
line should be constructed and the
service installed within the next few
weeks
Good roads are not quite enough
for the up-to-da farmer-he wants
the phone as well. 1t will not be
long before the whole of the Richfield
tract is strung with telephone wires
and then will come electric light and
power serving every farm house the
same as the phone or the roads!

Lincoln County Agriculturist

will bring to the farmer the very best
that science anl pratical experience has
taught in the farming world.
This county has had part interest
in a field dairyman for several years
past, but the territory covered was too
large and the line of work too limited
to be all that was needed. There has
been such pitiful waste of good time
and money and enthusiasm doing
things in the wrong way when start
ing the new sage brush farms of this
section that the county could have
paid many times over for such expert
advice in the beginning and thensaved
much money. 1t is not even now too
late to make it a wonderfully pros
porous investment.
When the new county agent comes
expect to treat him like human being
with some of the limitations of most
human beings; but with a real enthu-
siasm for and belief in the dignity of
the farm, and with a desire to give to
the county the very best that he has
been able to gather in his experience
in farm and in school. He will be
worth cultivating.

HORSE BREEDERS
Local Association to Get Import
ed Horse from Company

The Richfield Percheron Breeders
association has at last made a settle
ment with the breeding company that
sold the big Percheron stallion to them
two years ago-the horse that died
and over which there was such long
drawn out legal fight for the insurance
and for the responsibility for the note
payment. The company Is to give them
a new horse, T. J. Byrne, for the COM
pany, going back to Illinois within the
next few days to pick out the new
horse as successor to the dead animal.
The company paid $4,000 for the orig
inal horse and the new one will be Of
imported stock and the equal Of the
late lamented deceased.
This. will bring some excellent breed
ing stock into the community that
should prove a great money maker to
horsemen. The price of horses is go
ing up again so that there is no farm
stock that now pays better than horses.
The European war has cleaned out all
the horse surplus SO that there is ac-
tually shortage for ordinary work
in America.

Lincoln county is to have a county
agricuiturist as soon as the right man
can be found. He will be a real farm
er, with his trousers tucked inside OF
cowhide boots if need be, and horny
hands that would year notches in a
plow handle or an irrigation shovel
Withal, he is to be a scientific expert
who has been through the literary and
laboratory mill, and who can tell the
why" of the many battling things on
the farm that SO many men won't
believe because they can't tell why it
happens that way
An appropriation Of $500 has been
secured for this purpose, and Prof.
Hochbaum is corresponding with two
or three men of proven worth, to see
about locating them in this county.
He says that whoever does come will
be "all right" for sure.
The county agriculturist idea is
spreading rapidly. though there is still
so many counties without any such as
sistance that it is enough to crow over.

to every farm, it can at least send one

DELINQUENT TAXES
Interest on Delinquent Taxes is
Reduced to 10 Per Cent

Without dissenting vote the
house passed Thursday morning
H. B. No. 3 by Shattuck, which
eliminates the penalties and re-
duces the rate of interest on un-
paid and delinquent taxes. The
interest on delinquent taxes is re-
duced from l8 to 10 per cent.
The law passed at the thirteenth
session provided that taxes should
be payable seni-annualy, but fixed
penalty of 6 per cent on the first
installment if not paid when due,
on the first Monday in January.
The Shattuck bill eliminates that
penalty, allowing until the first
Monday in July for payment. If
the first installment is not paid on
that date, a 6 per cent penalty is
added.
Johnston of Bingham, who was
member of the twelfth session,
informed the house that the bill
was passed in the closing hours
without being given proper con-
sideration. He declared it was a
legislative crime and should be
Immediately erased from the stat
ute books. Bale, of Canyon,
thought the proposed change
should go still further and entirely
eliminate the penalties. Similar
sentiments were expressed by other
members Statesman.

SUDAN GRASS
Several Kinds of Seed to be Fur
Those Who Desire 1t

The Department of Agriculture
has been experimenting with SUI
dan grass as a forage plant for the
last five years with such success
that from present indications, this
grass will be as profitable to raise
and as nutritious for stock as alfal-
ia. The experiments have been
largely conducted in the Southern
states but good results have come
from the Northwestern states. 1t
grows from four to ten feet high
and yields from four to eight tons
of dried hay per acre. Splendid
results have been secured by rails
ing sudan grass by the dry farm
method and while it grows well in
the rain belt, it seems to grow
equally we'll on dry land. Some
one has said: "It is the grass that
laughs at drouth and smiles at
rain"
Congressman Smith has Sc
cured a quantity of this and other
varieties of dry land seed which
will be furnished to those who de-
sire it for experimentation so long
as the supply lasts. He will also
be pleased to send vegetable and
flower seed to any who desire them
