ladies' singles in the Inland tourne,
In the Fall City Monday:
For accuracy and skill IN all

skill. and her backhand was as
good as her forehand stroke.

chopping were all alike 10

Irrigation Company
Demands Investigation

Before the State Land Board at Boise
Thursday the Idaho Irrigation Co.,
whose management has always shown
the spirit of fairness, through it's at
torneys Judge E. A. Walters, of Twin
Falls and Oppenheim & Hodgin, Of
Boise, presented to the Board prop
osition to suspend the sale of contracts
until the State Engineer should make
thorough investigation of the project
The codifying commission who were
attempting to make a political foot
ball of this project were severely sat
down on by the sane and level headed
members of the land board
A few peanut politicians and twenty
two shorts, who sought to make pol
itical capital, to the annoyance of the
company and detriment of the settlers,
had the wind taken out of their sails,
and the Idaho Irrigation Company,
company that stands at the head of ir-
rigation projects in the state, both as
to soil, water supply and competent,
and able management, has nothing to
fear from the sane and square inves-
tigation of its physical and financial
and stands ready now as it
always has to cooperate with the set
tiers along this line.

PLAN FOR SOIL IMPROVEMENT
Experiment Fields Help to Determine
Best Order of Application Of the
Materials Needed.

(By DIR. c. G.. HOPKINS. Illinois Ex-
pertinent Station.)
In an experiment, where no farm
manure was used, the average yearly
return from the land itself was s3.75
per acre, while 81 was the return from
ton Of limestone and s2.65 from 500
pounds of phosphate.
In order to reduce the labor In
volved, the limestone and phosphate
are actually applied in larger amounts
at less frequent intervals; but thus
far the rates of application have been
one ton Of limestone and 500 pounds
of phosphate per acre for each year,
although, after the soil is sufficiently
enriched, one-half or one-third these
amounts will provide for maintenance.
The principles Of permanent i'm
provement for most soil types are al
ready well established. They include
the use of ground limestone for Coz
recting soil and for enrichment in cal
cum; the utilization Of atmospheric
nitrogen by proper use of legume
crops, the application Of phosphorus
to most soils and the liberation of pot
ash from the inexhaustible supply al
ready contained in all normal soils
On some soils dolomitic limestone
should be used In order to provide
both magnesium and calcium; and on
certain abnormal soils, such as
swamp muck and residual sand, potas-
SUM must also be applied.
The location and character of the |
various soil types are established by
the surveys and analyses, and the soil
experiment fields help to determine
the best order of application OF the
needed

FINE YIELD OF CLOVER SEED
Instead of Decreasing Yield Protracted
Drought Seems to Increase 1t,
Says Indiana Farmer.
(By s. E. BRANDS. Indiana.)

(By s. E. BRANDS, Indiana.)
A few seasons ago we thought we
would not cut clover for seed, as the
drought had been unusually severe
during the greater part of the sum-
mer. We expected that the protracted
drought would lessen the turnout of
seed.
Several farmers in this vicinity said
that they did not intend to cut their
clover for seed. They thought it
would not pay for the labor and ex-
pense of threshing.
had very large field of seed clo-
ver and, as l was needing the seed,
concluded that would cut it and see
what the results would be. The turn
out Of seed was excellent. 1t ap-
peared as though the drought was of
some benefit.
can see now that dry season af-
ter the seed has formed will increase
the yield Of seed in place of lessening
1t.

Use Whitewash Freely.

The free use of whitewash or kero-
sene also does wonders in getting rid
of mites when used thoroughly over
every bit OF the interior of the hens
home. A clean house, free from these
torments, is real blessing to the
hens. Puts money in your pocket be-
sides. The hen mite or red spider
feeds upon the poor hens at night
while they are on the roost and saps
their life to such an extent the egg
yield is largely reduced. And some
times the-hens are killed by mite at
tacks.

BIG PRICE FOR HOGS

Seth Jones, the Salmon river stock
man who arrived in the city yesterday,
received a telegram from E. S. Sweet
that the hogs shipped from Grangeville
last week had been sold in ST. Paul for
$765 per hundred. The telegram
stated the ST. Paul market was off
when the shipment arrived but the
Grangevills hogs demanded top price
and the shrinkage on the shipment had
been very light. Mr.. Jones was in
terested with Mr.. Sweet in the ship
ment and the price received in St. Paul
will leave the owners handsome profit
above the price offered on the prairie
at the time the shipment was made.
1t was originally intended to take the
hogs direct to Chicago but the deal
was closed in ST. Paul, which will en-
title the shippers to rebate in freight
charges. Two carload of cattle sent
out of Grangeville with the hogs were
taken to Chicago by Mr. Sweet.
The result of this shipment will
demonstrate that prairie farmers and
stockmen are independent of the coast
packing houses. said Mr. Jones yester-
day. 1.-The week we decided to sent
the shipment east, buyers for coast
houses were making their brags on the
prairie that they would force the price
of hogs below five cents before another
week The farmers and the stockmen
must be allowed to realize a fair profit, |
if the livestock industry is to prosper
in the central Idaho country We be-
ieve that the coast packers must be
made to realize that the success of |
their operations depends upon the sue
cess of the industry in the localities
where the hogs, cattle and sheep are
-aised and decided upon the test ship
nents to the eastern markets. The
telegram received from Mr. Sweet
hows that the central Idaho farmer
md stockmen can take advantage of
Chicago, Omaha or Kansas City when
market conditions on the coast are I'M
satisfactory and unless the coast pack
RS meet the eastern prices, they can
xpect the eastern stockyards to keep
gents in the central Idaho district in
he interest of eastern shipment -
