NEWS OF INTEREST
FROM OVER THE STATE

The Idaho Falls district court
room was the scene of one of those
distressing incidents which result
from bowling to the letter Of the law,
and seem to work an injustice. Jane
Shoupe was forced to give up little
Juanita Covert, a child she had been
instructed with by its parents five
years ago, had raised and come to
love as a mother, to it's lawful par
ents, when they set up a legal claim
to the child. The foster mother
screamed and wept thruout the trial,
and at last, when the judge had said
the law plainly meant she should
give up the child, she went to his
private chambers to make a final
appeal, but in vain. Then the real
father seized the little girl from
her foster mother, to whom she tried
to cline, and bore her away to his
home, shrieking and calling for the
only mother she had known. 1t
was brought out in the trial that
the child was born before its parents
were married and that Jane Shoupe
took it, feeling that she was saving
its life, and that these parents, after
wards married, had expressed
any desire for their little girl until
recently.
c. A. Mariana, sales manager for

the hard Turkey Red variety Of
wheat grown in the Idaho foot hills.
This wheat contains more glutin than
other kinds.
All the Republican papers are

hay In Idaho still continues better
than for seed. This office is daily
in touch with the Telodo seed market
and all growers are advised to COM
municate with the department before
contracting for the sale of their seed.
Potatoes
1t Is too early to make any positive
statement as to the general potato
market for this season. Reports on
hand in this office from the various
potato districts of the state indicate
that the tonnage for shipment will
De about the same as last year. The
1915 shipments totaled about $500
cars, while in 1914 we shipped over
5000 cars. Present indications are
that the quality of the 1915 crop in
Idaho will be considerably better
than last year, but there is still quite
a danger from frost damage this
year.
I also want to take this opportun-
ity to repeat the warning given to
potato growers by this office last
year, as to the unreliability' of the
government crop estimates on pota-
toes. Last year this department had
the satisfaction of saving the growers
many thousands of dollars by adver-
Using the worthlessness of the fed
eral potato crop estimates and the
tactics of certain speculative buyers
in the principal potato districts in
using these figures. The August IL
crop report of the Bureau of Crop
Estimates is almost as ridiculous as
were its figures for last year. The
federal bureau Is now claiming an
increase of $4,000 bushels in the
Idaho potato crop this year, as COM
pared with last-an increase of prac-
tically %one-fourth, which is of course
absurd. Don't be misled. If the
potato growers will hang together
there seems at this writing no reason
why they should not realize better
prices, on the average. than last sea-
son Reports received from those
sections of the country whose pota-
toes come into competition with ours
offer much encouragement for Idaho
growers. Growers will be kept ad-
vised as the market develops.
The government crop report for
August contains one statement to
which l would particularly like to
call the attention of growers. 1t
reads as follows: Later in the sea-
son the Bureau of Crop Estimates
will estimate for the first time the
production Of potatoes in the United
States classified by times of harvest
ing and d%isposing of the crop, so as
to show what portion of the crop is
early potatoes and what portion is
late. ="
This is the first crop reporting vic
tory in sight for potato growers of
Idaho, in the fight | have been wag-
ing for the past four years against
the system which has been unjustly
used for so many years-the lump
ing of both the southern early and
northern late potatoes together in
making the crop estimates. Similar
protests have been sent to Washing
ton during the past year or two by
others in this state, particularly by
the management of the Southern Ida
no Producers association, which is
deserving of special mention and the
appreciation of all potato growers
for the valiant service it has render
ed them in this connection.

REDUCING WASTE in SPELLING

ugh has caused the waste Of gal
Ions of ink and millions of minutes
OF time by its needless presence in
such words as though and
"through"; to say nothing Of the
stupid and burdensome task of learn
ing to spell a simple word in so fool
ish a fashion . This is only n Of
the many useless and burdensome
spellings, each a tri1e itself, but
really a heavy burden in childhood.
Idaho is getting rid of the COM
monest and most useless of these
extra letters. Some months ago the
state board Of education authorized
the use of certain simplified forms,
and the board required the publishers
of the new spelling books to include
the Idaho list of simplified spelling
as follows:
l.. Use the following s%pellings for
these words and their compounds
and derivitives: tho, altho, thoro,
thru, rime and draft.
2. In all words where there is a
choice between the dipthong ae and
the vowel e, use e: esthetic, medieval
etc.
Final cite and ct, use ct: quartet.
Final mme and m, use m: program
telegram, etc.
Final II and l, use l: fulfil.
Final illness, use lness: ~fulness,
dulness, etc.
Llful and lful, use lful: skillful,
joyful, etc.
Sc and re, use re: economic,
analyze, etc.
Logue and log, use log: catalog,
dialog, etc.

NEW INDUSTRY AT STERLING

Cleaning alfalfa seed so that 1t IL
SO per cent pure Is a new industry
that is developing among the alfalfa
seed kings at Sterling AMI Springfield,
The industry was commenced q
number of years ago by q. N. Wells,
who just used a ~thrashing machine,
Mr.. Wells developed pure seed at
first by the crudest methods, even
hand picking a great deal of the seed.
It was in this way he developed the
strongest plants and most perfect
seed he could possibly get. Later
he purchased a tanning mill and
marketed a great amount Of first
class seed.
A. J. Snyder, who has some rolling
land west of Springfield, went into
the business early and was the first
man to build a seed house and In
stall machinery for doing the seed
cleaning. He did a great deal OF
pioneering in the alfalfa seed ques-
tion and joined the pure seed asso-
citation of this state many years ago.
Mr.. Snyder operates his machinery
in the winter time in order to get
the seed ready for market and he
has connections with some Of the
large eastern seed houses who pur-
chase seed from him. They say that
they regard the Springfield alfalfa
seed as the best in the United States.
H. K. Wiley is the man who intro
duced Grimm's alfalfa seed growing
in Idaho. He had a friend in the
experimental station in Colorado and
very early had his attention drawn
to the prospects of what was then
a new variety Of seed. Mr.. Wiley
invested in a sack of the seed and
for several years was on the verge
Of bankruptcy. He found it very
difficult to handle the crop so it
would make seed and plenty of 1t.
He also found it a very particular
job to get seed to grow and ripen
at the same time, but when he got
large fields to yielding returns he
made money very fast. Mr.. Wiley
cuts about 100 acres each year for
seed, and this year he has erected
a fine house 3Ox4O feet in size with
a very complete system Of machinery
for cleaning the seed and elevating
it.
G.. A.. Line is building a two story
seed house 20x50 feet in size. There
are large bins on the upper floor
that have sloping floors and shoots
leading to the tanning and screening
machinery below. He will operate
with a gasoline engine and when the
machinery Is working the system will
be as complete as a Touring mill.
Everything will work on the gravity
plan and will retNrn to the proper
place by a system of elevating.
Each of these gentlemen has been
selling alfalfa seed for a number of
years. They have kept their product
so pure and have confined SO precise
ly to what they represent that they
are listed with the large seed houses
as perfectly reliable seed growers.
Representatives of eastern seed houses
have visited their farms and have al
ways been enthusiastic in their state
ments about the wonderful prospects
of that locality for supplying the
world with the best alfalfa seed.

SPRINGFIELD FARMERS
WELCOME SUGAR FACTORY
Harmonious Views Expressed at Mass
Meeting; May Get Two
Factories

Enthusiasm runs high for the pro-
posed sugar factory, and a very llVely
mass meeting of the farmers was
held at the Springfield school mousse
Monday evening, August %, where
all the questions pro and con WEI
tnreshed out very satlslactoilly'
Harold Parkinson, or Blachioot,
was the first speaker. He explained
the contracts very thoroly, which are
now being signed up. All contracts
are being made with Judge CoWan'
who, when the necessary acreage ID
j., signed up. will take them to one
sugar company and ask them to put
in a factory, and if they refuse, ne
will take them to another, and as
sign all contracts to the company
which begins construction. Mr.. PARK
inson then introduced Judge F. J.
Cowan, who spoke very interestingly
on the proposed site and other cues
ton. There has been some dlssen-
sion among the farmers about Sigh
ing up because they thought the
Judge might influence the company
to put the factory on his rancn'
which in some ways Is an ideal loca-
ton, and every n to be sure wants
the factory put right on his ranch
or next to it, but he assured them
that he had nothing to give away,
and that he would place a price on
his land and If the company decided
to locate there they could have 1t
for the price, but he did not think
his inhueLce would amount to much
with a company, which would Ok
pend a million dollars here and
would place the factory to bring the
best returns. He said the Eccles
company had promised to put n
in, If the acreage was secured ana
that the report was current that II
another company began a factory the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company would
also begin one, and said that II this
were true, he was in favor OF assign
ing the contracts to another company
so that we might have two.
James Cobbley, who has charge
for the Utah-ldaho Sugar company
Of the beets in this section was dis
covered among the audience and CALL
ed upon. He said that he was
authorized to say that If a factory
had to be built here, or was going
to be, the Utah-Idaho Sugar COM
pany was ready to do so.
Mr.. Boutwell,, of Salt Lake, spoke
at some length, urging all the farm
ers to sign up for as large an acreage
of beets as possible, and very humor-
ously brought out that we undoubt-
eddy have the best site, in fact, he
knew we had the site and Springfield
should have the factory, but he was
willing for the company to choose
their own location, as it would raise
the value of his land wen If 1t was
a few miles distant.
There were about so present at
the meeting and all went away bub-
bling over with the prospects Of the
new factory, and deciding to work
in unison and to let the company's
engineers pick the site and not hold
back on any differences of this kind.

PROVING A WORKER
DOES NOT WORK

An employee of a New York state
firm, it is said, after working for
eight years, asked for an increase in
his salary.
"You don't work for u.s." said the
manager, who proceeded to prove 1t
by the following method of subtrac-
ton:
"There are 365 days in the year.
"You sleep eight hours a day,
making 1872 days subtracted from
365 leaves 243 days; you have eight
hours recreation each day, also max
ing 1872 days, leaving 121 days; there
are So Sundays that you don't work,
leaving a balance of So days; our
store closes every Saturday afternoon
making So half-holidays or rs days
that you don't work, making a bal
ance after deduction of 40 days; we
give an hour each noon for lunch,
making 16 days, or a balance of 81
days; we give two weeks vacation
during the year, which leaves only
13 days; there are IL legal holidays
during the year that we are closed.
This leaves only n day in the
year, and that's 'Yom Kippur,' and
WI don't keep open."-Exchange.

FARM LETTERHEADS
Appropriate farm letterheads come

Appropriate farm letterheads come
ext IN Importance to a farm name
in advertising and publicity value,
says the Kansas Farmer. The farmer
of today is engaged in a business that
requires a great deal of buying and
selling. The use of printed station
cry puts him in a class with other
business men. One of the essentials
in all business is publicity and it
must be of the right sort. The
tumbled down fences and appear
ances Of disorder, u%ntidiness, which
is occasionally seen on the farm de-
voted to the breeding of pure live
stock, is just as truly advertising the
breeder as does the printers ink he
uses. The adoption of an appropriate
farm name points the man out as be-
ing a little more progressive than
his neighbors. Just as truly does the
use of farm l~etterhead establish the
standing of a man who uses it. Print
ed stationery is the most valuable
means of obtaining. the right kind
of publicity. The man who writes
a business letter on scraps of cheap
paper, perhaps describing a very fine
pure bred animal he is offering for
sale, is creating right in the start a
most unfavorable impression of his
business. A letter written on a let
terhead having a design setting forth
the particular type of farming be-
ing conducted, is indication that the
business will be unconsciously made
in the imnd Of the reader. A good
deal of thought should be given to
the selection of the letterhead used.
The design should contain the name
of the owner with his correct address.
Signatures are frequently hard to de-
cipher and the use of the letterhead
in business transactions is worth
what it costs in insuring the proper
addressing Of return letters. The
expense is not great and when once
adopted the use of the letterhead Is
not likely to be discontinued.
