WHAT OTHERS THINK
OF our CROP REPORTS

crop prospects and returns and the
success or failure of their own efforts.
''The article to which reference is
made covers several columns of space
and is altogether too long to permit
of its entire reproduction in this
newspaper, but the excerpt hereto
appended is proof sufficient that Mr..
Trego is keen observer, fearless
critic and a man who Is definitely in
terested in the general welfare, and
working for the betterment of the
community in which he lives.
''The conditions he finds rounda-
bout his home town are likely quite
as common In other communities in
the state. not even excepting our own
Aberdeen country, and portion of
the story of his investigations as re-
lated in The Republican is reprinted
herewith"
Charles Worthington, manager Of
The Merrill Associates bureau of Salt
Lake City writes: Interviews of
this kind with the farmers relative
to what they are raising, their needs,
ETC., and the attitude of the banker
toward farmers desiring loans go a
long way toward making The Repub-
lican a modern aggressive paper In
our estimation. The spirit of this
kind of work certainly contributes
much to the upbuilding of Blackfoot
and the suri ounding country"

ADDED TO
ARMENIAN HORRORS

New York--Cholera has added it
terrors to the burdens of Armenian
refugees who fled the Tigris and Eu-
pirates valley to Tabriz, according to
meager advices received here yester-
day by the Presbyterian board of
foreign missions. One hundred day
is now the average mortality from
the scourge in Tabriz alone, the ad-
vices state:
"Urumiah, the recent fighting
ground of the Kurds and native
Christians, also is afflicted the board
announced. Forty deaths, both in
Tabriz and Urumiah, have occurred
among the natives. The missionaries
stationed at both places are relieving
the sick as best they can with in
adequate facilities.
Titles, Russia, is similarly in the
grip of an epidemic which has already
caused 700 deaths. 1t is thought like
ly that these deaths were due to chol-
era also. although the nature of the
disease is not designated in the ad-
vices.-Exchange

WHAT BINGHAM COUNTY
FARMERS ARE DOING
Some Good Beets

some Good BeetS
J. F. Hall, near Wapello, has 100
acres of land where It sub-irrigates.
He raised beets this year and aver
aged Is tons, the best making 20
tons; oats, 10 acres, Is bushels;
wheat, two acres, 38 bushels. Mr..
Hall is getting along In years and
wants to sell part Of his land. His
address is route. three.
Mayor and Farmer
]. H. Berg, mayor of Basalt and
operator of a dry farm on Spring
creek, a tributary of the Blackfoot
river, says he has the old Lee Warren
place and keeps his family there
three months in the summer and they
have COWS, chickens and pigs. He
finished the sowing of 20 acres of
winter wheat about the last of Oc-
tober. He had 80 acres of wheat in
1915 that yielded 25 bushels; 30
acres of oats, 28 bushels; and he fed
his barley to the hogs. They have
800 acres among them and it is all
patented.
Coming to the Front
Jesse Steffensen, Wapello, beets, 10
acres, IA tons. He raised some
wheat, oats and potatoes and has
about ,35 hogs. The neighbors say
he is a good farmer and is getting
his place in condition to win.
Hopes for Success
Bruce Parmelee, Springfield, is on
one of the Boutwell, farms; he. raises
some hogs, sheep, horses and cattle.
He says he has not been very success
full, but he is studying the problems
of farming in the hope that he will
get to operating with good profits.
He is anxious to get the alfalfa seed
crop to growing profitably, and has
met with some success with it, but
nothing marked. He finds there are
so many things modifying results in
given locality, that if one reads
up so that he feels that he under
stands handling certain, crops, he still
has to apply the information to con-
ditions in his locality or on his farm,
and all this takes many years, and
he does not feel discouraged over
partial failures. He thinks the farm
ers on their new places must expect
these things and meet them.
Straw Worth Money
L. Shelman, of Springfield, has
ordered straw spreader from The
Munson company at Minneapolis, to
cost SIS (. o. b. Blackfoot, and fully
guaranteed. He wants to put all of
his strawpiles back on the ground
and plow it under. He has noticed
that where he took the trouble to
get some straw into the ground it
was worth money on the next crop.

IDAHO PROSPEROUS,
REPORTS BOTTERILL

If ever a Salt Laker journeyed
through Idaho in the fall OF the year
and returned to this city running
over with enthusiasm on conditions
in the Gem state, Frank Botterill Is
the man..
Mr.. Botterill left Salt Lake ten
days ago, and touched at Pocatello,
Boise, Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, Black
foot. Caldwell, Rexburg, Rigby, Nam
pa and other Idaho points before re-
turning to Salt Lake.
He found SO many automobiles In
use in Idaho and discovered 30 many
prospective purchasers of automobiles
and saw so many sugar beets and ran
across so much money, that he re-
turned an Idaho boomer of the first
water.
y Discussing his trip yesterday, he
said:
mo man who doesn't make trip
to Idaho at this season of the year
and particularly this year--can
realize what a remarkable season
they have had in that state.
II went into Idaho with Harold
Smith. one of our statesmen, for the
purpose of looking over several Ida
no towns, with a view OF placi@g
agencies for the new Hudson car, on
which we expect initial deliveries In
December.
"Mr. Smith and / went prepared
to make a thorough investigation Of
all conditions in Idaho, and as re-
suit OF our trip | am frank to say
that Idaho has much to be proud Of.
"The farmers have had an excep-
tional year, and there Is plenty of
money in the state. saw more sugar
beets than thought existed in the
world, and incidents were related to
me by prominent business men in the
towns and cities visited Of farmers
who have reaped such incomes this
year that one might think the farm
ers had been operating mints instead
of te farms.
farms.
Everywhere we went we found
prosperous, happy people, enjoying
the good things of life, and among
these good things are thousands Of
automobiles.
at was our purpose to thoroughly
organize certain sections of Idaho
as selling territories for the Hudson
car, inasmuch as our instructions
from the Hudson factory are to pre-
pare to sell three times as many Hud-
sons as we have ever sold before.
Twin Falls and Idaho Falls are
exceptionally prosperous, and both
have vigorous, live appearance.
1T was agreeably surprising at
Blackfoot to find everything in such
splendid shape, and the same Is true
of Caldwell, Rexburg and Rigby.
'Nampa is thriving, and both Boise
and Pocatello are in excellent shape.
1--WE placed a number of agencies
for Hudson cars, and will close others
within the next few days.-Salt Lake

JAMES KILLIAN IMPROVING

James Killian, of Riverside, who
was injured in an auto accident three
weeks ago Is improving slowly. The
injured eye is the most serious prob
lem, and he has assurance that they

that 1t will take a good while for
the injury to heal. The case is the
more serious on account of the fact
that Mr.. Killian had already lost the
sight of one eye.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, June Sin its consistent
strength and increasing breadth, to-
DAVIS stock market served as a strik-
ing reminder Of the daily sessions
which accompanied the memorable ad-
vance of last March and April Trading
did not attain the large proportions Of
tent to make the movement noteworthy.
United States Steel lead the advance,
dealings in that stock aggregating
about 100, 900 shares, or 25 per cent of
the whole. Coppers were next in IA
yor with average gains of to points
on a very large joint turnover. War
specialties were comparatively in con-
spicuous, although advances in that
group were of substantial character,
the same being true of the automobile
shares and other issues, having no spe-
cial classification. General Motors made
the greatest gain Of any speciality ad-
vancing 10% points. Half a score of
the railway investment stocks, mainly
those in the international list, rose
to points, but the demand for these
issues was relatively light. The ad
vance in steel to 59l2, it's best quotation
since the beginning of the strain in re-
lations between this country and Ger
many was made the occasion of much
gossip and conjecture. 1t is known
that the corporations output has in
creased during the past fortnight and
this favorable condition is expected to
show in the May tonnage figures to be
issued week from today. Not until
the close of the market was it learned
that the Steel Corporations had won
the suit brought against it by the fed
eral government.
The further rise in the copper group
was traceable to a number Of specific
causes, including the greater demand
for the metal at high prices. Moreover,
it is argued that the new turn in the
Mexican situation is calculated to work
