available to people of the State, par
ticularly those furnished by the State
travelling Libraries and the university
library Such public library facilities
are valuable, but it is also important
that every farmer, as every other
professional man, should own at least
a few good books upon subjects con

Some of them may be rather tech

OUR NEW sHlPBUILDiNG
ACHIEVEMENTS

Nothing in the present seething in
dustrial activity Of America is more
striking than the sudden expansion
of the business of shipbuilding. Just
how fast and how far we have gone in
hurrying the construction of cargo car
riers to take the place Of those de-
stroyed in war, interned in neutral
ports or sealed up in German harbors,
is shown in a recent report of the De
partment of Commerce. Today the
Delaware River shipyards have tom
mage under construction exceeding any
shipping district in Great Britain,
which is equivalent to saying, of
course, in the world, Ninety vessals
are building in this one center, aggre-
eating 41s,213 tons The Delaware Riv-
er's nearest competitor is the great
British shipbuilding district of New
castle, with 401 1926 tons. Altogether
in the United States there are now
building AT vessals of 1,545,27O tons
almost equal to the total for Great
Britain.-From "The Progress of the
World" in the American Review Of
Reviews for December, 1916.

THE FARMERS LIBRARY

In nearly every occupation thers
are busy seasons and slack seasons.
The wise individual makes use of his
slack seasons for self Improvement
and preparation for the next busy sea-
con. The greatest degree of self inn
provement may come through sheer
relaxation and rest or it may be found
in travel and association with other
people-people who have similar in
terests to our own and people who
have different interests; or again it
may come from reading books and
meditation. For most people a happy
combination of all three will probably
give the best results.
The winter months are the farm
ers' slack season and the purpose of
this article is to call attention to the
1esirability of planning now for some
systematic reading and study during
he coming months. The amount OF
valuable to the farmer
las increased tremendously in the last
.ecade or so and much of it is obtain

Dietrich, Richfeld
and ShOshOne

WYE have a number of partially improved
farms, principally on the Richfield and
Dietrich Tracts, upon which we will place ten
ants for terms of from three to five years. Will
lease these places under agreements providing
for completion of improvement under the direc-
ton of the Company and an equitable division
of expense and income. Terms and conditions
can easily be met by men Of small means. We
are prepared to enter into mutually profitable
arrangements with the right parties. Appli-
cants who have not had farming experience on
this or the Snake River projects will not be con-
sidered. Men with families will be given the
preference. Both husband and wife must like
the country and have ambitions to eventually
own a farm of their own here. We will require
from applicants references as to honesty, indus
try and farming experience, unless they are
known to us personally. The more capital,
livestock and farm tools a man has the more
profitable arrangement he can make. While we
are not offering this as an inducement, it is an
excellent opportunity for the man of small
means to gain a foothold which may enable
hin to become an owner at the end of the lease
period. A few farms are ready for occupancy
now. Others will be ready early in the spring.
Applications in Writing should state fully
extent, character and location of farming ex-
perience. size Of family and age Of children;
amount of capital, livestock and farm tools;
kind of crop and livestock with which applicant
has had most experience. Applicant must fur
