AT meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Bull Cemetery association
this week, it was decided to take up
the work of improving the local burial
grounds by putting a close woven wire
fence around the whole plot of thir-
teen acres, and to put in a water tank
at the upper side of the field so that
the cemetery may be seeded to grasses
and watered. The five acres which
have been plotted will be laid with
water pipes, and seeded to white clio
yer and blue grass. The grass will
be watered by hose attached to the
pipes which will come to the surface
at various places over the lawn. A
gasoline engine will be used to pump
the water from the coulee below into
the water tank which will be used for
sprinkling the grass. A man will be
employed to devote a part of the sum-
mer to seeding the cemetery and keep
ing it watered until it has become
we'll sodded.
Tuesday was good roads day in
Bull townsite, and a dozen teams and
three times as many extra men spent
the day improving the streets and the
roads leading to each corner of the
tOwnsite. The rock was picked up,
and the streets were graded, and lev
eled. Two tractor engines pulled the
graders, and practically all of the
streets have been graded now The
Buhl Auto company and A. e. kiss
hitched an automobile on each of the
| big three section road drags, and they
leveled the streets where the grader
had pushed the dirt to the center
of the street The big steam roller
run over the toughest places in the
streets, and over the road which was
filled in leading east from the Burley
corner. The streets are in pretty good
shape now.
A membership campaign for the
Bull Business Mems association was
launched at their last regular meeting
Thursday evening, and the admission
fee will be made at $40, instead of $15
for the next sixty days, and it is ex-
pected that the membership will be
increased from seventy-five to two

the campaign. The Auto club is an

REDUCTION SHOWN IN
THE STATE TAXES
Tables Sent From Office Of Governor
Indicate That Any Increase Is Due
TO County Leyies.

THE TINES is in receipt of circu-
lar from the office of the governor in
Boise, showing the total amount of
state taxes levied in every county in
the state and the amount of general
county taxes of all sorts, the purpose
being to show that where there has
been an increase in taxes levied it has
been due to the increase in the county
levy and that there had been a de-
crease in the state levy. The total
reduction for the year 1915 in state
taxes levied by counties was, accord
ing to this table, S95, 16S.4S, in which
connection it is implied should be
noted the fact that no interest was
provided in the 1915 state levy for in
terest on state BODIED Indebtedness,
which was paid out of previous ac-
cummulations, while it was necessary
to levy 5000 for that purpose in
1915. The total levy for the state for
Twin Falls county for 1914 was $44,-
900.49, while the total for 1915 was
500 1874, a reduction of $4,40255.
The total tax levy for county purposes
was $177, 740.74 last year, and $780,
S41.12 in 1914, an increase of $7,S9952,
so that the total increase for the year
was SO 1896 81. No statement is made
of the percentage of tax levy or the
difference in valuation. AS a matter
of fact the state taxes in this county
were reduced by three-tenths of one
mill in 1915 from 1914. County taxes
outside the bridge fund, were the same
in 1914, but the bridge fund was in
creased by three-tenths of one mill,
which made the total per cent of COM
bined levy the same both years. How
ever, there was a slight increase in
the valuation in 1915 over 1914, so
that the saving in state taxes in dol
lars and cents appeared slightly
greater and the increased taxes levied
for county, bridge and road purposes
appeared considerably larger in dol
lars and cents than if the total taxa
BILE property valuation had remained
the same during the two years
The Introductory statement to the
table, addressed to the people of Ida
no, reads as follows:
Governor Alexander has had prepar-
ed in his office statements showing
the amount and character of taxation
during the years 1914 and 1915. This

OLD METHODS OF FARMING
ARE BLAMED IN FRANCE
Writer Says That Anticipated
Methods Are to Blame for
Cereal Shortage
nv Associatsd Press

PARIS, May 6.-Superannuated meth
DDS of farming, NJ. Charles Nordmann
says in the Revue des Deux Mondes, are
largely responsible for the fact that
France has not, in spite of war Difficult
ties. kept it's production of cereals up
to the normal. The prejudices that ex-
listed against the substitution Of the ma
chine for the muscles of man, he con-
tends, must absolutely disappear with
the accentuation by the war OF the
dearth of farm help.
"All the land of France must be cul-
tivated," he says, land means must be
adopted and put into use for it's cultiva-
ton now, because of the number of men
who have had to drop the plough for
the rifle and because of the number who
will never come back to take it UP
again."
''Motoculture," as it is called in
France, with steam ploughs or gasoline
motors and similar improved agricul-
tural implements, NJ. Nordmann points
out, is the only means of supplying the
deficiencies of farm labor. He advo-
Gates the creation in France Of a farm
implement manufacturing industry,
holding that the United States, which
is the only country now able to furnish
these machines, manufactures types the
majority of which are unsuited for the
cultivation Of French land.
Competitive trials of motor farm ma
chinery that were organized by the min
lister of agriculture last year are to be
followed by public trials at Gournay-
sur-Marne this spring.

shipping q. carload of 10000 pounds of
fresh meat from Chicago back to the
point of origin is 5000.
This makes a total shipping cost
frorl the farm to the packing house and
hack of S52.4O.
Under the proposed Georgia rate the
cost of shipping a carload of 10000
poirds Of cattle on the hoof into At
lanta for an average distance Of 159
miles would be s32.
Under the proposed Georgia rate, the
cost of shipping a carload of 10000
pounds of fresh meat from Atlanta
back to the point of origin would be
S74.
This makes a total shipping cost from
the farm to the packing house and back
of s106.
The difference between the total
shipping cost in Georgia, under the pro-
posed rates, and the total shipping cost
in Illinois, under the present Illinois
rate, is $500.
This difference on 500 carloads of
live cattle into Atlanta and 500 car
aus Of fresh meat out of Atlanta

a good dosage of Epson salts in the
form of a drench. For mature animals
you may give / 1-2 pounds. For small

Supply your cattle with as much green

will often remove smarting or itching.
