Idaho, with her unlimited wat
er power, rich mines, immense
forests, great grain fields and
countless herds of cattle and
sheep, should begin to consider
the possibility of converting
these products into the finished
article at home and ship away
only the surplus that cannot be
used at home. This state has
undeveloped water power enough
to turn all the mill wheels in the
New England states. We grow
the hogs and cattle and ship them
into other states to be converted
into packing house products and
then ship back these products

freight both ways. Our wool
and hides are finished in the east
or in England and then sent back
to US in clothing, shoes and lea
Their when this work might just
as well be done at home where
the raw material is produced and
the power is at hand. Even the
manufacture of our grain and
lumber into the finished product
is in its infancy. What this
state needs badly is more fac
tories. The labor situation will
take care of itself. Factories
will mean payrolls and more peo-
pie coming to the state to live
and labor. This will build up
our towns and the population and
wealth of the state and create a
market for all the pro-
duce of the farm. Every town
of any consequence should have
a mill or factory of some kind
utilizing the products of its fields
or forests. Let US invest our
wealth in developing the unde-
veloped resources of this state
and in time we will have a richer
state than Massachusetts or Con-
necticut can ever hope to become.

Beef Versus Milk

Idaho county has been a beef
cattle country for the past fifty
years and has become known all
over the northwest as one of the
best cattle districts on the Pac-
ific slope. Train loads of fine
beef are shipped out of this terri
tory annually and so long has the
beef industry been a leading oc-
cupation here that our people
generally think automatically of
the grand Hereford and Short
horn whenever the word cattle is
mentioned. However the hum
BILE dairy COW has also proven its
right to a place in the sum and
in spite of the sneers of the beef
barons and the turned up noses
Of the butchers and stock buyers
the dairy industry i s steadily
gaining a frmer footing even in
this grand beef country and is
destined in time to take equal
rank with the industry that has
held firm control here for half a
century. AS proof that the full
value of the dairy industry is
being realized in the west one
has only to compare the results
of the recent sales at the Port
land fat stock show. At this big
show Henry Thiessen, of Sweet
water, took first prize with his
fine Herefords, Mr.. Thiessen has
some of the finest Herefords in
the entire west and won over
strong competition. He later
offered one of his fine young
bulls in the auction ring and it
sold for $1,000. His sales aver
aged 5000 a head. At this same
sale a junior yearling Holstein
bull calf from New Jersey, son
of the world champion Holstein
cow, sold at auction for the al
most fabulous price of $21, 500.
Six of the leading dairymen of
the northwest bid on this animal
and everyone went over the $1O,-
600 mark. Where can beef cattle
men equal such prices.
The Chronicle does not wish to
be understood as crying down
the beef industry. Far from it.
But both beef and dairy cattle
have their proper fields and in no
way conflict with each other.
There is ample room in central
Idaho for both industries and
each can prosper here. The
more dairying there is done on
the farm the fewer beef cattle
will be grown there and the
better will become the demand
for the range product. Dairy
products will also pay enormous
returns and. the entire country
will benefit thereby.
Therefore let each industry
prosper in its own way and do
not try to discourage a neighbor
who does not happen to look at
the cattle game through your
own particular glasses. We need
more livestock and more industry
in Idaho.

Mrs. Hughes to be Adviser.

On his trip through the Mid
die West and to the Pacific coast,
Charles E Hughes, Republican
candidate for president, will be
accompanied by Mrs. Hughes,
who is taking a keen interest in
her husbands campaign. On
several occasions Mr.. Hughes
has explained that his wife is
his "chief adviser. 1t is there
fore assumed that on his West
ern drive the candidate will con-
tinue toconsult with Mrs. Hughes
concerning important moves in
his fight for the presidential
chair.
The presence of Mrs. Hughes
on the trip will not alter the Re-
publican nominees plan to de-
vote most of his time to speech
making and eschew receptions
and social affairs as much as
possible. The candidate insists
that he will stick to his schedule
and deliver addresses only at
those places where he has prom
ised to speak.

If hens are lousy, rub a piece

Hints for Poultry Raisers.

Sour milk is valuable in any
ration, says H. L. Kempster, of
the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture.
Cleanup the incubator, remove
the lamp, and throw away the
wick.
Soft, fresh dirt is an insurance
against leg weakness in chicks.
Add to the grain feeds with a
mixture such as bran, shorts and
cornmeal.
Do not keep unnecessary male
birds. An extra hen eats no
more and may lay eggs.
WhenIrange is limited spade
upIthe runs or move the brood
coops a short distance daily.
Spoiled or decaying flesh, if
eaten, will surely cause timber
neck. Burn or bury the dead.
Watch for head lice on the
chicks. If found, rub top of
head with a small piece of lard
free from salt.
