lives on, paying therefore S115.00 per |
acre, says the Idaho Call. He thought |
at that time that it was a pretty stiff
price, but hoped by dint of hard work
and careful management to be able to
pay it out" He just threshed alsike |
seed from field of a little less than
eight acres, receiving 513O pounds,
which, at the present price, sixteen
cents per pound, brings him over
$4,000, or more than 500 90 per acre.
He has twenty acres to red clover ana
he believes that he will realize nearly
$4,000 from it, Six acres are into
potatoes, and 5000 per acre is the esti-
mate on this crop, making the total
returns from his first years crop
about 100000, or less than thousand
dollars of what the farm cost him. Oh
course this is not net for he has had
the seed to buy and the expense of
seeding, harvesting, hauling to mar
ket, etc, but even after these are paid
there is a nice sum left to apply on
the purchase price of the land.
The Young Peoples class enjoyed
another pleasure jaunt last Saturday
night when they made a trip to ShO-
shone Falls. They made the trip in
buggies, and arrived at the falls just
before dark To their surprise the
falls were gone, but after some of the
boys had investigated a little, they
found a faint imitation of the old falls
trickling over the rocks on the north
side. 1t was a disappointment to all
to find the water so low, but after
starting a fire, and bringing out a box
of "weinies" the attention of the
crowd was diverted. Pickles, sand
wiches, and buns were also added to
the menu, and the hungry crowd soon
made away with the lunch. A delight
full marshmallow roast finished the
refreshments of the evening.
