IDAHO BEET SEED INDUSTRY
TAXES ON HUGE PROPORTION

That the farming land OF the up
per Snake river country is becoming a
seed bed for the rest of the country is
becoming more and more evident as
the years progress, says the Idaho Falls
Times.
For a number Of years past seed po-
tatoes have been shipped from ldaho
Falls to Colorado, California and 9th
er western potato growing states. a
few years ago the Rogers Bros. estab
lished large pea and bean seed house
and hundreds of acres annually pro
duce pea seed which, after sorting an'
grading, are shipped to all parts OF the

ducts, and the latest industry to be
firmly established along the seed hn'
is that of raising sugar beet seed.

the credit of the state has been pledged
to an amount exceeding half million
dollars, and which may properly be
classed as delinquency in the payment
Of state expenses.
No one attempts to say that the roads
built if properly constructed, are not
an asset to the people of the state. 1t
is only claimed that under the agree
ment entered into between the people
of the improved districts and the gov
ernor and his henchmen, state debt
has been created which must be added
to the cost of state government during
the wears of Alexander s administration
and when so added will make this one
of the most expensive administrations
the state has ever known.
l. His Son Still on the Altar
One of the amusing incidents con-
nected with Governor Alexander s re-
cent fourteen campaign speeches in
Custer and Lemhi counties, is told with
good deal of gusto by those who
heard the gentleman. The governor
was talking about his pride in the
state, particularly in regard to the way
in which it responded to the call to
arms by the president in July last. In
connection with this the governor said
that when the call for the militia came
he at once offered HIS only son on the
altar of his country's service, and left
the impression in his hearers minds
that the only son was then on the Next

exander is an excellent gentleman, in
early middle age, whom an unklnd

of soldering. He appreciates the fact
that by nature and through education
he is better fitted to be clothing

wise and prudent shoemaker, is sticking

in trying the different soils. Each
plantation has an individual foreman
in charge.
Winterhalter has been engaged in
raising beet seed for number Of
years. He has raised beet seed in
Canada, in Michigan, Colorado, Utah
and California, in an experimental
way. II E has been engaged in this en-
terprise in Idaho since 1912. Two
years ago he harvested jointly with
the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company about
5000 ba Is, last year 1900 bags and
this year $4,000 bags, and next year
he hopes to harvest 10000 bags.
Best Location
That Idaho, and particularly this
part of the state, is best adapted for
the raising of beet seed, is attested by
the fact that the United States Beet
Seed Company has preferred this state
| to the other states that mlSnC De con
sidered for raising seed. The industry
here is, of course, in it's infancy, and
an idea of what it means to this part
of the state can be gained from a few
of the following items of expense.
| During this season the company paid
out $17,700 for land rental, $4,000 fol-
labor and team work, $4,000 fol
mother seed, $l1 900 for improvements
$500 for cleaning machinery and farm
| implements, and this fall they will
spend $4,000 for preparation of the soil
for next year.

However, at present the United States
Beet Seed Company is the largest raiser
of seed in this vicinity, and their out
put this year will total about $4,000
bags on a total of 1900 acres. There
are 81 sugar companies interested in
the United States Beet Seed Company,
and the seed raised is not for sale, but
will be apportioned among the several
companies according to the number of
shares each holds in the seed company,
and the seed will go to the sugar fac

country, from Michigan to California

SEVEN DAYS LEFT TO REGISTER

There are only seven days left
in which to register for the November
election. All those who voted at the last
general election need not register if
they have not moved out of the precinct
in which they then voted but if they
have they must transfer to the new pre-
cinct before the date fixed by law,
which is October Z, or lose their vote.
A person can register with the county
clerk at the court house or with any
notary public or justice of the peace.

FEW FOUND TO BE PERFECT

questions and did all his tasks without

Are you the husband every wife

Can you give tho day OF the week
you were married on and It's full date?
DO you know when your mother.in'

When you left for the Office this
morning what kind OF dress was your

Can you say offhand what the mar.

meat and bread are?
DO you know the cheapest shopping
places in your neighborhood?
One Of the tests the husbands had
was as follows: The wives stood behind
a curtain and placed one hand above
It. Each husband was required to pick
out his wife's hand. A good many
failed!
Do you make a point OF always
praising your wife when she has
cooked anything more daintily than
usual?
DO you tell her she's the best wife
In the world?
Have you ever acknowledged 70 her
that you are wrong and she Is right
in any argument?
II you can answer these questions
satisfactorily then you can put your
self down as the perfect husband-ao.
