one of the best looking streets in

pastor will preach at the opening
service Sunday morning at IL a. M,
and the District Superintendent, DR..
j. d. Gillian, will preach at the eve
ming service. For the past four or
five years the basement has not
been used because a few inches of
water would come up in it during the
summer months. Last spring the Ep-
worth League asked the church board
to let them lead the way towards
completing 1T. Gravel was hauled
and the entire floor raised fourteen
inches. A good deal of the work
was donated and done at odd tim, S,
so the work went slowly. But the
changes We're made and last Tuesday
and Wednesday morning the entire
basement was Cemented. The walls
and ceiling have been kalsomined, so
the basement is quite cozy and pret-
ty as Well as being very cool. Meth

tainly an ideal place to have a pie
mic The large trees furnished an
abundance of shade which lis one of
the chief attractions for picnic on
hot day There was plenty of good
things to eat and some to spare.
After dinner the boys suddenly dis
appeared, but their merry Shouts
from a distance revealed the fact
that they had found a swimming hole
which is a boys delight. The men
had ball game. Then came the
foot races. Some of the women felt
sure that they had broken all records
on the slow race 1t was indeed a
pleasant day for all. A chorus came
from the youngsters, asking whe n
we were going TO have another one.
Thanks to Mr.. Eckert for his kind
ness in letting us use his place for
the picnic.

STATE FARM EXPERIMENT

The ambitious farming experiment
instituted by Warden Shook OF the
Idaho penitentiary on what is called
the prison farm III the Gem irrigation
district near Homedale, is approach
ing Il fitting climax. Last week The
work Of grain harvest was COM
menced, and the staJe is now cutting
and stacking the crop from 40 acres
of grain. 1t is estimated that this
grain crop should reasonably have Il
value of $4,000. In addition
to this the farm will have an
output OF from 200 to 300 bead OF
hogs, raised here and fattened on the
stubble These hogs will all be works
ed INTO cured meat and lard for use
at the penitentiary.
The prison farm near Homedale as
it stands today, is the result OF the
far sighted vision o. Warden Shook.
Something over three years ago that
officer broached the idea to the
board of prison commissioners that
the state owned large tract Of
land in the Gem district, and il a
portion of this land was laid aside
for use by the penitentiary he would
endeavor by the use of prison labor
to not only improve the land but
would also at least more than pay
the cost of the improvements and the
keep of the prisoners employed. This
being agreed on these premises have
been more than fulfilled From the
beginning the work has all been
done by the more trusty prisoners.
Throughout most of the year there
are kept here from 10 to IA OF the,
most trusty convicts.. No guards
are kept at all The superintendent,
Arthur Mclean, is the only employe.
The men sent there are under senten-
ce for all kinds of offenses. During
the three years, however, only three
men have tried to take French
leave and of these two have been
captured. The third man who walk
ed off this spring is still under pur-
suit and will probably be recaptured.
The state is Teserving about 1900
acres for use by the prison authori-
Of in
Guiding grain fields and alfalfa, the
state is cultiVating about 500 acres.
1t is expected that next year this
amount will be increased to 800 to-
900 acres, and that a portion of the
ed to alfalfa. The Gem irrigation dis
trict was organized something like
six years ago. 1t comprises about
10000 acres Of choice sage-brush land
lying along the south side OF Snake
river from the Nampa ferry to a
point close to the Oregon line. OF
this land the state had selected some
thing over 10000 acres in COM
pact body. Since the penitentiary
authorities have commenced work
the state has sold Of this land some
thing like 1900 acres and has an
equal acreage under lease. The
lands are irrigated with water pump
ed from Snake river, and farming
operations are consequently made
more expensive thereby. However,
the land is so fertile that farmers
report that operations are pursued
with profit.
