CORN HAS BEEN TESTED ON THE
PRAIRIE AND SUCCESSFULLY
DISTRIBUTORS HUSSMAN
LUMBER CO., COTTON
WOOD, IDAHO.

Farmers Of this section who desire
to raise corn can obtain seed corn free
If they desire the same. In this con.
nection, the following communication
received by the Free Press, explains the
arrangements made for seed corn dis
trlbution. 1t is as follows:
Free Seed Corn.
The O.-W. X. & n. Co. has made ar
rangements with us to distribute for
them, free seed to farmers who are
willing to try to grow corn. Prof
Smith, agricplturist for this company
has visited the prairie at two differ
ent times and gathered great deal of
information regarding experiences Of
farmers who have grown corn, and from
his own experience with corn introduce
Ell In places having similar altitude and
worse conditions, says it is absurd to
think that co rn will not grow on Camas
prairie. Corn must be acclimated to
do well, and early maturing variety
secured
The objec of the company is to
supply enough seed to plant one acre so
that the farmer will have chance to
try it out in small way and without
ihtSiISIlHS WITH MS usual Work In
growing sue crops as he has been
growing heretofore. Alfalfa and clover
were slow in coming into their own on
prairie for on other reason that that
when man decided to raise one or
the other he figured that if it was a
good thing 40 or 80 acres were bet
ter than one. The result was that the
seed bed was not properly prepared, the
ground for SO many acres could not be
properly inoculated, or as sometimes
the case the season was not favorable,
the results being good stand and for
the want of incubation coupled with a
poor seed bed and unfavorable season
would die out. The farmer had invest
ed too much on what he decided was
an experiment and lost heavily thereby
Too much corn has already been seed
ed as an experiment by planting large
acreage on summer fallow and with pre-
meditated indifference as to the re-
suits. Nothing was expected to make
sure that they wouldn t be disappointed
if they didn t get anything.
A farmer In this frame of mind had
better let corn alone. But there has
been decided change in the last few
years. Anyone that would now get up
in meeting and challenge the expert
to come down and try to grow alfalfa
clover would be laughed at. We last
week bought three tons of as fine al
falfa hay as any we ever looked at.
We know of one farmer six miles from
town that put up $50 tons this year

HAS DISPUTE WITH COYOTE.

Max Dietr lex had a dispute with a
coyote, on his ranch southwest of town
the other day that nearly cost the in
truding virm in his natural life. 1t ap-
pears the coyote got inside the field
fence in quest of succor, and was run
ming up and down the field in an en-
deavor to get out; and seemed very
tired when Mr.. Dietrich appeared on
the scene with single tree to beat
some sense in, or knock his brain out.
Max was heavily clad and not in posi-
tion to hit a low one; but Max declares
had it been d "high ball he ID made a
home drive but the bloomin' critter
made his getaway, after Max had adj

SAVED TO THE STATE.
s16o, oe5.40 Saved During 1915 Under
Alexander's Administration.

Not less than $4,000 is to be saved
in the administration of state expendi-
lures during the biennial period that
Governor Alexander serves as chief ex-
ecutive of the state. At least that is
the aim. During the first year of the
biennium he saved no less than $780,,
095.43 in expenditures as compared to
the first year of the Haines administra-
ton, 1913. He believes the saving of
the blance Of the $350,000 will be ac-
complished without serious inconven-
fence to any department of the state.
The $160,095.43 is the amount saved
in actual expenditures of the state s
administration for current expenses in
1915, as compared with the expendi-
lures in 1913. The total expenditures
of 1913 for current expenses up to Dec.
81 of that year amounted to 81 ,335,-
5000. In 1915, the year just closed,
the expenditures of the state for cur
rent expenses amounted to 81 ,175, 655,-
AZ. The claims in 1915, it is generally
recognized, were more promptly paid
than ever before and a less number of
these claims were carried over to 1916
to be paid by the state this year than
there were carried over from 1915 to
be paid in 1914.
The records of the state house show
that the total expenditures of the
Haines administration for current ex-
penses covering period of two years
were SO, 2S4590.69.
Governor Alexander makes the state
ment with the new year that the ex-
penditures in 1916 will be less than in
1915 and therefore the reduction or
amount saved to the people greater
than in 1915. He romises a saving
during the two years of his administra-
ton of not less than $350,00O, making
the total expenditures of his admins
tration considerably below the $4,000
600 mark. Every effort is to be made
it was announced to secure efficiency
and to conomize.-Capital News.
