AGRICULTURAL WORKERS
OF CANYON COMMENDED
County Takes Land in Lines of Eff
fective Endeavor.

Contained in the monthly review Of
county agent in Idaho. prepared by
Professor H. w. Hochbaum, who
heads this work in the state, to show
achievements of the past month, arc
some particularly commendatory re-
ferences to Canyon county.
The report shows that Agent w. r.
Mccall travelled ll9o miles in his
work, and received more than 200
calls at his office. He attended 2S4
meetings and visiting So farms.
Potato Demonstrations.
Speaking of the Canyon work in
general the report contains these COM
mandatory paragraphs:
"In Canyon county, Mr. Mccall has
been extremely busy with his demon
STATIONS of the selection and treat
ment of seed potatoes. AT Mr.. Gel
liens farm, 10000 pounds of potatoes
were treated at demonstration, and
enough seed for an acre plot of po-
tatoes to be grown for seed was Sc
lected besides.
Through such demonstrations the
potato growers will cooperate in get
ting control of the diseases. Mr. Nc
Call is giving very efficient supervi-
sion to this work and good results
may be expected. Six farmers, all Of
them large growers Of the crop, will
demonstrate methods of growing po-
tatoes under the supervision of Mr..
Mccall. In this way the farmers of
several communities may judge for
themselves of the effectiveness of the
methods demonstrated.
Leads in Club Work.
Every indication now points TO the
fact that Canyon county will lead in
club work, for Mr.. Mccall and Miss
L. Fay Fowler, county superintendent
of schools, have certainly worked up
a great interest in this work on the
part of pupils and parents. More than
this they are laying the foundations
for results because of the careful or
ganization and follow-up work that
has been developed by these two
workers.
"Of unusual interest is the survey
of rural homes now being conducted
in Canyon county by Miss Jessie M.
Hoover of the department of home
economics of the University of Ida
no. This work is undertaken with
the cooperation Of the federal depart
ment of agriculture, the county agent
of Canyon county w. T. Mccall, and
the department of agricultural extern
sion.
THE purpose of this survey is to
gain first hand information of the
methods of home management that
prevail in the rural communities, and
then to encourage the adoption of la
Dor saving convenienceS in the form
home and to work for more efficient
methods of home management. AL
ready a great deal of interest is being
shown in this survey on the part of
country women, and since all are CO.
operating fully some valuable results
in this new field may be expected"

The other day Miss Bess Steunen-
berg was rounding the cornor from
Arthur on to 9TH avenue, going toward
Main, when the Caldwell traction car
was standing on its track. Her car
was clipping it off at nice rate, when
some young man with needless mein
stepped from the electrici car and
walked right in front of Bess. He
saw that he was being run down and
his actions were of the querest sort.
He broke to run across and Bess took
the other side Of the narrow half Of
the street at this point. He then turn
ed and started to rush back to the
electric Car. Bess checkmated him
again and was getting by nicely, when
he again turned and was making a
dash for the curbstone. Bess saw
that the only safe thing to do was to
stop dead still and give the freighten-
ed man a good chance to make up
his mind. She threw on the emer-
gency brake and stopped with the
nose of her car against the pedestrian.
Those who saw the affair are loud in
their praise for the girl driver who
showed ample good sense to prevent
an accident
