They are not only losing many dol

meat inspection affords

CURING CLOVER HAY.

Glover hay should be cut as soon
as the first blossoms begin to turn
brown. The mower should be started
In the evening before the dew has
fallen or In the forenoon as soon as
the dew is on; and it is not wise TO
cut down too much at one time, SAYS
extension bulletin AZ. by Andrew
Boss and A. c. Army of the College of
| Agriculture, University of Minnesota
Glover hay should be cured in the
shade and not exposed to the hot sun,
unless 1t is frequently turned. The
sun quickly dries the thin leaves,
causing them to become brittle and
easily lost. The leaves are the most
valuable part of the hay. The drying
OF the leaves also closes the natural
channel for the moisture to get out OF
the stems. After the clover has beer

THE WEED PROBLEM.
,,.,.o,s pure Seed Law Makes IL Com

The weed problem In Idaho Is seri-

None OF our worst weeds are native
IN Idaho. They we're imported with
the agricultural seeds and CONNER
cial feeding stuffs They are being
distributed each year In this same
WAY and by natural agencies AZ wind
and water.
The pure seed law of Idaho was
created as an emergency act TO check
the Importation and distribution OF
noxious weeds. II can never accomp-
lish this purpose alone. We must get
at the root OF this evil as we'll as the
roots OF the weeds and exterminate
the noxious weeds from the fields.

Creamery Organization Progressing.
Last Thursday evening a prelimi-
nary meeting was called Of the sub
scribers to the stock in the new
creamery, and others interested, to
listen TO suggestions from Prof. O. Z.
Frevert, the government specialist.
on the organization and operating OF
cooperative creameries. There was
large representative gathering Of
farmers at this meeting, the town
hall being crowded with interested
listeners, showing conclusively the
interest that is being taken in the es-
tablishment of a creamery at this
place.
Prof. Frevert gave very interest
ing talk on what was necessary for
the successful operation of cream
cry, the main necessity being that the
| patrons should stand united and not
be lured away by fictitious prices
which cannot last only for short
time. Mr. Frevert assured the COM
mittee that when the organization
was completed, it would be his pleas
ure TO return here and advise the di-
rectors as to plans for the building
and the equipment of the same with
the proper machinery. AS this gen.
tleman has made this his life study,
his assistance will be worth much to
the directors when they are ready to
proceed with the details connected
with getting the creamery In opera
ton.
The meeting was presided over by
l.. T. Alexander, and after the ad-
dress of Mr. Frevert, preliminary
steps were taken toward the compile
ton of the organization of the COM
pany. 1t was suggested that the
board of directors be chosen from diff
ferent sections of the tract and the
soliciting committee were instructed
TO divide the tract into four sections
and request that the residents OF
: these sections meet and recommend
, the name of one of their citizens as a
director to be presented at the meet
ing OF the stockholders to be held
q later.
y A committee was also selected 10
prepare the articles of incorporation
. and have them filed with the state
;, Another committee was also selected
,, TO prepare a set of bylaws to be pre-
sented for adoption. These commit
tees are now at work on their dutie
