THE SMALL FARMERS OPPOR-
TUNITf.

Small farmers of the state of Ida
no, owning their own small homes,
now have opportunity to make those
homes produce a certain and ade-
quate income forthwith
Fhe state of Idaho has several
million dollars OF funds to loan upon
good farm security. These loans in
the past have been made largely to
politicians with sufficient political
influence to secure the money be-
fore their less fortunate farmer
brethren.
We feel warranted in assuring all
owners of small farms, or larger ones
either, for that matter, who, having
their own farm lands, may wish to
borrow $500 or $1,000, or similar
amounts for the purpose of buying
dairy cows or other livestock to place
upon such farms, that they can Sc
sure such funds upon application to
the state land board, at a reasonable
rate Of interest and upon long enough
time to assure them of their ability
to make payment when the principal
sum becomes due.
Such loans will enable literally
hundreds of farmers in this state,
we believe, to purchase COWS with
which to place their farms upon an
immediate paying basis and with
which to form the basis for develop
ing thriving industry. We feel
sure that the land board will be will
ling to give such applicants for loans
preference over all other applicants,
and that abundant funds can be
found to meet the demands of all
such applicants.-Capital News.

The split log drag has contributed
more to the economic maintenance
of public highways than any imple-
ment of modern usage. 1t does not
require special acts of the legisla-
ture, bond issues, nor expensive ed
ucational campaigns to make it ay-
ailable as usually precedes construc-
tion work. A drag can be built or
purchased for twenty dollars and is
easily operated by any one who can
drive team. We need more drags

TOBIAS TELLS ABOUT CORN

Charles G. Tobias addressed the
farmers meeting here Saturday says
the Kuna Herald.
He said there are four essential
things in growing corn, they are:
God soil, good seed, proper cultiya-
tion and sufficient irrigation.
"The soil must be rich, and pro-
perlyp repaired, not so the horses
feet sink into it like muck, but just
so they leave nice prints Of their
hoofs. The depth to plant is just
into the moisture and not too deep
No matter how good the soil is, yon
cannot raise good corn without good
seed, proper cultivation and suftici-
ent irrigation. What we want is corn
that win mature in this country and
produce the most bushels. The seed
should be aclimated and should be
saved from more than one ear and
mixed together that it will not in
breed.
Mr.. Tobias plants in April and cul-
Yates as long as possible and Often
He puts off irrigation until the tos-
sells form in the embryo, unless 1t abb
solutely needs water before that time
To tell when corn really needs water
II will be curled at or O'Clock IN
the evening. The sun will curl corn
when it is not in need of water our
ing a hot day. He says two or tour
irrigations during the season is SUI
ficient. He says he usually lrrigates
twice but his soil holds moisture

Travelling News.

That the newspaper correspondents and editors
these busy days permit old news to slip past them
is natural and some OF the stories travelling over
III cables should mot even go by the slower mail
route. A typical instance of travelling news fol.
lows:
The New York correspondent OF great Lon
don daily read an interesting German artillery
story with Washington sidehead in New York
daily. He was so impressed that he cabled it to
his paper. Shortly afterward he received a dis,
patch asking for further details Seeking out the
reporter who had turned in the story to the New
York paper, he discovered that it had been clipped
from small London weekly and that by mistake
the copy-readcr had put Washington side-bead
on it. Needless to say, the New York cores
pondcnt OF the London daily filed no more mes
sages on the subject. But the matter did not end
there.
The military and naval correspondents of half
dozen London daes and technical journals COM
mented on the Washington story, apparently
obvous OF the fact that the story had been print
ed in London nearly three weeks before. About
week later the same story appeared with slight
alterations, in a cable from London to New
York daily and the next week more comment an
peared on the matter in the shape of a special
article IN Sunday paper in this cty.-Wall Street

INCE 1885 New York had been the
