THE CUB SAYS

Enron Yancey, the man who made
some money specializing in hogs at
his farm last winter. is feeding 106
at Groveland for the July market.
Joseph Merrel has ten acres of AL
sike ON the Kennedy farm just below
Blackfoot. He has "a acres of red
clover which he is letting go to seed
this year. Last year he raised II
acres of seed that netted him $105
per acre. He cut a crop of hay from
it the eighteenth of June, and cut
it again for seed on the nineteenth
of September. The straw and chaff
after threshing, was carefully stacked
and he fed it to his stock when hay
was selling at $40 per ton. The seed
sold at 1871 cents a pound.
l.. B. Whiting and G. e. Moon, of
Groveland, are supplying water to
some high land by e of a pump
ing plant, operated by a seven-horse
power gasoline engine.
A. N. Naillon, who bought 48 acres
of Mrs. Dora Lay, at Wapello, last
winter, has given up farming and
moved to Blackfoot. Mr.. Naillon
bought the land on the installment
plan, put in a crop and then became
discouraged because they did not
terminate and grow well. Mr.. Nail
Ion has been accustomed to farming
in a rainy country, and prepared his
seed bed for rainy climate, with the
result that it nov a mess of clods
and the crop is not doing much. Mrs.
Lay has leased it, OF hired help to
make what she can out of the crop.
James Steele, of Wapello, put out
As acres of beets this year and has
only about a half a stand. Mr.. Steele
reports that the seed was planted so
shallow that it did not all terminate.
Some of it was planted on top of
the ground, some a quarter Of an
inch deep, but by the time he found
out what the conditions were. it was
too late to replant. tt does not seem
likely that he will get more than the
actual expenses off of the field.
F. Savage. of route three. has a
gate that utilities some of the waste
material about the farm. The gate
hinges consist of the wagon axal up
right at the end of the gate, a wagon
hub buried for the gate to rest On.
The swinging end of the gate is car
ried by a cart wheel with the axle
fastened along the center of the gate.
Mr.. Savage came here from Salt Lake
City last spring and is doing some
farming east of Wapello. He is build
ing a one-story house, 24X26 feet in
size.
F. B. Lytle, of Wapello, is raising
an unusual crop at the age of 81.
He has been wearing store teeth
for two years and is now growing
two new teeth from the upper jaw.
He is as cross as children usually
are at teething and thinks he will
nave them extracted so he can con-
tinue to use the store teeth.
G. D. Cody, who came here from
Oklahoma two years ago, traded his
Oklahoma farm for the |. T. Alfred
farm east of Wapello last winter. Mr..
Alfred mad been advised by his physi-
clan to 60 to a lower altitude, and as
he had lived in Oklahoma, he decided
to go there to look at the property,
resulting in his making it his home.
He writes that he is we'll pleased with
it. Mr.. and Mrs. Cody are also de-
lighted with the Alfred farm in Ida
no. Mrs. Cody had a copy of our
Agricultural Edition that she wanted
to send to her parents in Oklahoma,
but decided not to, as the optimistic
spirit of the edition might induce
them to come west. She decided that
if they came of their own accord,
they would be less likely to be dis
when they got here. They
have since come to Idaho, and after
