Editor Tribune: We have before
us your issue of March II, 1916,
giving the vote by PRECINCTS on the
county agent proposition. We were
not surprised that the vote was
against the proposition, but are aston
ished at the unanimity of the vote.
We would like to have seen different
result for we are firm in the belief
that the farmers of this county could
receive great benefit from a county
agent. No farmer in the county
farms so we'll that it could not be i'm
proved on, none so prosperous but
could be made more so. We notice
by the table published that in the
town of Horton only one poor devil
saya by his vote that he needs help
we are glad our farm is in that
town (0.

me the vote on county agent also
brought me the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Monthly" which is very in
teresting just at the time this vote
was announced.
Mr.. Cleland with our Mr.. Hawk in
the winter of 1914-1915 got 49 land
owners who farm their own land to
agree to keep a strict account of all
moneys taken in for produce from
these 40 farms, also all money paid
out for feeds bought and fed. These
farms and their equipment were all
appraised and it was to be allowed
five per cent interest on this invest
ment before the operator got anything
for his labor-and just one got more
than $1,000 for his years work. This
is acknowledgements than half got
nothing (outside of living) for their
work and yet we say we don't need
any help.
We note how you Mr.. Editor, ap-
preciated the tip given by the farmer
in asking you to publish an item each
week about the weather and if farm
ers would show the same readiness to
learn how they could be helped we
would all be more prosperous.

them on a May day. They were
both planting corn. Their fields were
separated by a barbed wire fence.
On Mr.. Does farm that year the
sun shone brightly and the rains were
timely and the frost stayed away IN
til the crop matured so bushels pei
acre; but on the Roe field the clouds
obscured the sun, the rains all came
just at the wrong time, that is, just
when he was ready to cultivate to kill
a luxuriant growth of weeds. On this
farm the corn never did we'll and he
harvested 30 bushels per acre to his
FIucky" neighbours 60. Now we dc
not believe it was "chance' OF
"'luck" that made the difference in
the yield of these two fields of corn
the one made use of the best known
methods of growing corn and the Other
planted the corn and gave it three
plowings and if God failed to give hin

Where or what is the reson for this
difference? A good live county agent
could help Jones to raise just as
good pigs as does Smith. He could
also tell Roe how he would raise just
as many bushels of corn as Doe.
Farmers, if we are not to have a
county agent, let's wake up and look
about US and if Jones or Smith is
growing better corn, better pigs or
better calves than we are, let's find
out how they are able to do it and
copy their work as nearly as possible,

DECLARES ROAD IS
COUNTY PROPERTY

The road built along the west side Of
the Payette river in Boise county in
1911 is county property and not state,
therefore the fencing Of thi. road or It's
obstruction is reached by statute en-
towering road overseers with certain
duties. This is In substance the ruling
of Attorney General J. H. Peterson
made in answer to a query from Cover
nor Alexander. The right to obstruct
this particular road which was built
with state funds was raised by resi-
dent of Boise county. The governor re-
ferred the matter to the attorney gem
eral who submitted the following re-
ply:
Hon. M. Al 'xander,
Governor,
Boise. Idaho.
Dear Sir:
II have your letter OF May /, In which
you inquire whether the wagon road
built along the west side Of the Payette
river in Boise county in 1911 at an ex-
pense of $4,000 is state property in the
sense that the fencing thereof would be
a trespass upon state property.
i take 1t that the road referred to is
the road provided for by Chap. 100.
Session Laws 1911, wherein an appro-
priation Of $4,000 is authorized for the
building Of a road from Boise, Ada
county, to Payette lakes in Boise
county.
If am right in this, then the road
as completed becomes the property Of
the county in which 1t Is located, that
is, the portion Of the road in Boise
county Is county road and the prop
erty of the county.
The remedv for encroachment upon
a highway, such as I conceive this to
be, is provided by Section 94g and sub
sequent sections of the Code
Notice should be given, orally or in
writing, by the road overseer of the
district in which the obstruction &C.
ours, requiring that the encroachment
be removed. Ten days is given within
which removal Is to be had after SER
vice or the notice. A penalty is pro-
vided by the statute, in the nature of a
forfeiture of $40 for each day the OBJ
struction continues thereafter. 1t is
provided that If the encroachment is
such that 1t effectually obstructs and
prevents the use of the road, then the
road oVerseer may summariiy remove
the same
The statute also provides methods
by which the question of whether or
not an encreachment is an obstruction
and interferes with travel may be tried,
Trusting this answers your inquiry.
am,
Yours very truly,
tSigned) u. H. PETERSON.

TO INVESTIGATE
INSURANCE RATES
-
Public Utilities Commission
Will Make Inquiry Into
the Situation.

The public utilities commission will
investigate the alleged insurance COM
bination to increase the fire insurance
rates in Idaho. At conference held
between Governor Alexander and
Attorney General Peterson the ques-
ton of enforcing the THRUST law
against the insurance companies was
discussed. 1t wax decided that some
action should be taken and an agree
ment was reached to ask the public
utilities commission to proceed with
an investigation. The commission is
to be given every possible assistance
by the attorney general. 1t Is under
stood thas the commission will take
up the investigation without delay.
The governor wrote the attorney
general several days ago asking himX If
the companies responsible for the inv
creased insurance rates could be
reached by the ANTITRUST laws In re-
ply the attorney general held the rres-
ent antitrust law adequate to deal
with the matter. He also assured the
governor he would be glad to do what
he could to aid the investigation,
providing the governor felt the evil
dence at hand was sufficient to war
rant such a STEP being taken. The
alto. ney general tpok occasion to roast
the last Legislature for its failure to
pass the antitrust bill that he had
drafted and which the lower house
killed. AS a result of the attorney
generals reply the conference took
place.
Reply to Governors Letter.
In answer to the overnors letter
the attorney general said In part:
The antitrust law of this state,
while not as comprehensive as could
be wished. is, nevertheless. a workable
statute against combinations In re-
straint of trade. II there is a combi-
nation among insurance men of the
state for the purpose of raising or reg
ulating insurance rates, 1t is the be-
lief of the undersigned that this would
be a violation of the anti trust law.
The antitrust law of the state.
which is chapter l25, session laws,
1911, provides an appropriation of
$1,000 to be expended under the direc-
ton of the attorney general and the
governor in carrying out the provis-
ions of the said act.
Il shall be more than delighted to
cooperate with you In an inyestiga-
ton of the question of whether or not
there is an insurance combination in
the state OF Idaho, II in your Judgment
you deem the evidence at hand suf-
ficient to justify the expense neces-
sarily attendant upon such investiga-
ton
