CONDITIONS OF BEErs IMPROVE

Field Superintendent George H
Smith, of the Utah-Idaho Sugar COM
pany, reports that conditions in the
beet fields are very much improved
since the showers came. Not all the
early planting terminated during the
dry weather, and when the frost
thinned out some of those that were
up, it looked as If the loss was heavy.
But with the wet weather came a
new installment of little beets and
the later planting is coming out nice
ly. Only two or three hundred acres
have been replanted and prospects
for a bumper crop are good. sg ,4s
AS to fruit, Mr.. Smith says he
thinks there will be very few apples,
but that there is considerable fruit
that was not in condition to be af-
fected by the freeing and raspberries
gooseberries and other small fruits
may yield considerable. ...

Williamsburg, Idaho.

Williamsburg, Idaho.
Editor The Idaho Republican:
If you will spare me a little space
| will endeavor to make known to
the readers of The Republican that
we are still among the living and
thankful we are located in this par
ticular place. When we read the
papers and see how the wind and
frost have damaged the crops in
every direction we are happy to
realize that neither wind nor rain
have harmed us so far. If Mr.. Jack
Frost did decide to pay us a visit
he would be very much disappointed
as there is nothing up here yet ex-
cept what is frost proof. In other
words there is none so blessed as he
that hath nothing to lose.
The people north of us about five
miles have been fortunate enough to
get some seed grain that will mature
at an elevation of $500 feet, and
liner grain the state never produced.
l shall try to have. some on exhibit
at the Blackfoot fair next fall.
The folks who moved away for the
winter have all returned and seem
glad to be back on their homesteads.
Should any one who is slightly &C.
quainted with this country here hap
pen to pass thru this summer he
would certainly think he took the
wrong road, when he sees the fences
going up, little patches of grain in
every direction and a bunch of live
people building a community.
We were without a school last
winter, but everything is in readi-
ness for one next term, except the

cussion as to the location of it, but
that will soon be settled.
A railroad thru our neighborhood
In the near future is very promis-
ing feature. There are two compan-
les Investigating the proposition at
the present time. Several mines were
opened up in this vicinity this winter
and they have developed in very
promising way. 1t will be great
advantage to us and to the miners
to have railroad thru here But
with the practice we had last winter
think we can take our skis and
overtake the Mackay flyer or the

A PROGRESSIVE FARMER .1
FAVORS COUNTY AGENT

v. r. Robinson was in from Grove
land, Wednesday, and said he was
much disappointed in Bingham
county not securing an agricultural
agent. He had observed the advant-
ages accruing from such work in the
southwestern part Of the state where
he has spent several winters and he
says he feels no hesitation in saying
the county will add greatly to it's
crop yield when they do more inten-
sive farming under the direction of
a good county agent. He is also
firm believer in silos and dairying
for this valley. He has lived in Min
nesota where dairying and the silo
were adopted after the long period
of raising grain and farmers making
very little money. He thinks people
here should give less attention to
fruits and more to good breeds of
stock and plenty of feed and comfort
for them

BETTER FARMS DEPARTMENT
The Republican Pays 81 Each Week for an Idea
on What You Have Planned to Increase
Your Crop Yield or Make Home More
Beautiful---City Lot or Farm
CLEAR YOUR PLACE OF WEEDS

This may be a little early to think
of weeds, but we can have 1t on our
minds, and better early than too
late"
The cockebur, fox-tail, crab .rass
and many other perennial enemies
will be here soon, and we should
prepare to get rid of them, so we
will have better crops, better land
and much better looking places.
These weeds grow along creeks,
fences, bitches, in orchards and gard
ems, and hundred other places. II
all these weeds arrive at maturity
they will scatter an infinite number
of seeds. But If cut unripened and
let lie where they fall, they will not
only be ON the road to extirmination
but will add to the fertility of the
soil. Ii they are ripe when cut they
ought to be burned to destroy the
seeds. Sometimes q moving ma
chine can be used, or q scythe. or
hoe. The main thing is to attend to
them one way or another. -.s.
nual pest, may be prevented from
gong to seed, and killed out even
tually, by early attention. If the
land could be put into cultivated
crops, harvested and disked, the
weeds would disappear after sowing
vetch and oats. 49,.
If the weeds are thus kept down,
a place will look great deal better,
and crops will yield more. Surely
these two advantages make the eff
fort worth while.

A STONE In THE ROAD

There is an old story, coming prob
ably from the wise Germans Of very
early days, that tells of how on a
certain road where many persons
passed bringing loads of grain to the
miller there stood a large boulder
which caused every passer-by some
annoyance in climbing over it or GO
ing around. One day free-hearted
youth came that way, saw the OBJ
struction and rolled it away to the
edge of the road. And underneath
the rock there lay a bag of gold,
which in uncovering, the youth was
made instantly wealthy.
We still have get-rich-quick stories
and they still interest us. Some of
them come true, but not instantane-
ously. But the winner is usually the
man who rolls stone off the road.
For instance in Blackfoot during
chautauqua it is easy to see that ex-
cessive merchandising will be
tough obstacle for clerks and en-

ANOTHER HAY FAMINE
CAN BE AVERTED
The Introduction of the SilO Advised
by all Experts

The people of this valley have just
witnessed somewhat of hay famine
with prices still soaring, and the
present prospects are that the con-
dition will continue. So much OF
the hay land has been put in other
crops the past few years and the
hard winter has exhausted the sup
ply, then added to that is the damage
by frost on the first growth Of 1916
1t seems certain that all kinds OF
fodder should be carefully preserved
for next winter.
Fodder is Money
In localities where the silos are in
use the situation is not so severe, for
in times Of scarcity of roughness for
stock, they preserve greater
amount of green corn, wheat, peas
and various other things that usually
go to waste or are harvested for the
kernels rather than the foliage and
stocks. Dairy men with silos always
stand the siege best in cases of crop
failures and farmers of this valley
should ponder we'll the matter of pre-
serving all foliage this year. It is a
good practice at all times, but more
peremptory this year because of the
shortage ahead.
What the SilO Is
The silo is merely a great tank
or standpipe in which green truck is
dumped and then lies unchanged I'M
til the air is introduced, then it
spells quickly if not consumed. The
manner of preserving it while using
it is to take off the top all the time
and take it off in layers. The air
cannot get down into it. and each
day another layer is taken off and
fed, thus giving them a delicious
green feed every day. 1t has the
advantage of giving the animals
green feed in cold weather, and the
additional advantage of preserving
everything that grows on the land in
summer. Green corn, stalks and all,
cut up into pieces about an inch long,
makes the best ensilage, but almost
any green foliage that stock like
when fresh makes a good ensilage.
Help Offered
The Idaho Lumber company have
been furnishing free seed corn to
farmers with view of getting them
to see the great value Of corn in this
valley and in order to get the great
est benefits from it the stalks should
be put in the silo. The Blackfoot
yard has recently erected silo to
show just how they are built, and so
firmly does the management believe
In the good to be derived from silos
that they offer to give very substan-
tial aid to those who build the first |
ones here.

DON'T KISS THE CAT

1t must be terrifying revelation
to those who kiss their cats, that has
been made by Prof. Flocci, the Ital-
ian chemist. he has found by ex-
pertinent that when a cat ticks it's
lips it spreads over them silva in
which there are swarms of minute
bacilli not free from danger to hui
man beings. When he inocculated
rabbits and guinea pigs with this
noxious substance they died within
"a hours; and he has come to the
conclusion that it is dangerous for
anyone to indulge in the habit of
kissing cats.
