the Commercial club the other day that
suggests its almost perfect adaptability
to our soil and climate 1t is an eX-
cellent growth, full, well matured and
of good "heft.' 1t resembles cross
between Egyptian corn and feterta.
The latter has the advantage in that it
requires shorter season by 30 days for
maturing, 1t is but little known in this
valley, however, but milo maize has
been grown considerably here. Both
feterita and milo maize are excellent
stock and poultry feed.

In conversation with President M.
q. Wood of the Payette Valley Auto

ton that seems to be of such gener-
al interest to the entire community
as to justify its publication and
TO call for cooperation along the
lines suggested.
In the first place membership in
the Payette Valley Auto Club Is not
restricted to those who own auto
mobiles or motorcycles, but every
citizen who is interested in good
roads and is anxious to take Part in
the work of securing such convent
enoes, is eligible to membership, and
all such arc cordially invited to be-
come identified with the movement
1t will be interesting, also, for all
members to know that by sending 81
to Mr.. Chas R. Smith, the secretary,
they will be supplied with hand
some membership card, bearing the
unique emblem of the club.
The committee on road signs is
making arrangements to put up signs
from the southern part of the dis
trict where it intersects with the
Caldwell road SOUTH of New Ply
mouth to the old Toole place north
Of Payette. The signs have been
ordered and the committee went
over the route Wednesday, to meas
ure distances and to designate the.
locations of the posts. The commit
tee has also arranged for a striking
y attractive metal monogram fcl

that the committees OF

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

The citizens of Payette and OF the
country tributary to this city who
reside on the bench south Of the
river, certainly owe a debt Of grati
tude to DR.. c. A. Barton, one of the
chief sponsors for the present active
local auto club, for the much-need-
ed Improvement which was made
last week under his supervision on
the piece of road leading from the
Payette river bridge up onto the
bench, as we'll as upon the approach
es on either side of the bridge. That
particular piece of road had been
sadly in need of the attention of
some public official, whose duty it
was to look after that sort of thing,
but for some unaccountable reason
was neglected until it had become
almost impassible.

nard they try. The horticulturists of
this section of the state have given
some valuable lessons IN fruitrais.ng

Seems that they are going to re-
