Farmers Conference at Boise.

Our farmer readers and others in
terested in the various subjects that
go to make up success along the lines
of farming should not forget the call
for the State Wide Farmers Confer
ence to be held in the hall OF Repre-
sentatives at Boise, Feb. 14th TO
10th. Director Scholtz of the State
Farm Markets Bureau In calling this
meeting states that this conference
is not intended to be merely inspira-
tional or educational. Such things
are valuable, but have their place IN
farmers Institutes, livestock and
horticultural conventions, etc. Our
endeavor in this meeting will be tc
get down to brass tacks." and Il
possible start In motion some definite
practical plans for the working ou'
of those marketing problems as cal
only be solved by united action.
While the Farm Markets Bureau
under the management of Mr.. Scholt
has been in existence only year
, and operated some of the time unde
most unfavorable conditions, the re
port of the director as made to tn
!, governor for the year, shows tha
4 much good has been accomphshe
along many lines, and in calling fe
=, this conference, Mr.. Scholtz nope
to interest the farmers of the sta
still further in the benefits to be d
~ rived from a hearty cooperation Wi
the bureau. and 1t would appear tn
much good can be learned by atten
ing this conference.

A Bond Election.

From all appearances the residents
of the Jerome school district No. SO
will soon be called upon to vote on
a proposition of issuing bonds to the
extent of $4,000 for the erection OF
a new school house presumably at
Jerome. An adjourned meeting OF
the school board was held last We'd
nesday evening, but we went to press
too early to report the same.
At this meeting the matter was
quite fully discussed following which
motion prevailed that resolution
and other preliminaries be prepared
prior to placing before the taxpayers
the proposition of erecting and equip
ping a new school building in Je-
rome.
Wayland & Fennell, the architects
at Boise, have been employed to draw
plans and specifications for such
building, with the understanding
that If the bonds do not carry tina
the district will be to no expense
for the plans.

A LITTLE TOO HASTY.

some Oh the tract. as the article re-
cited a resolution that had been pre-
scented and passed by the land board
the day previous, calling upon the
bondhOlders to appear before the

600 bonds 10 guarantee the compile
tion OF the system had not been de-
posted with the state as per agree
ment II the members OF the board
had taken occasion TO get into cor
respondence with the representative
OF the bondholders In this place, they
would have found that at the time OF
passing the resolution the bonds in
question were lying In the Pacific
National Bank at Boise awaiting the
return OF the contract. which as stat
ed couple OF weeks ago had been
sent to the general committee Of
the bondholders for ratification.
This contract was returned TO r.

cludes the last link In the chain, and
while our readers are perusing this

THAT MILLION TREES.
Not So Hard to Accomplish AS One
Would at First Imagine.

When we talk about million, 1t
means a good many, and II we had
that many dollars we would not like
ly be here agitating the planting OF
trees and otherwise beautifying the
tract. However. when 1t comes to
trees, a million is not so many after
all when we consider the territory
over which they can be distributed.
1t might be surprising to know that
our local nurseryman, F. G. Pierce,
has taken orders for about one-third
of this number to be delivered this
spring, or to be exact he has orders
for 100000 trees, divided as follows:
2S5. 600 locust, 5000 poplars, 1000
elms and 1000 poplars, and he In
forms US that the only reason that
he has not taken more orders is the
fact that some of the varieties are en-
tirely exhausted IN all the markets
that he is familiar with. 1t will thus
be seen that at this ratio 1t will not
take long before we will see this mil
lion of trees growing upon the tract
Manager MacLear, of the Boise
Payette lumber yards at this place
advises US that he has given orders
through Mr.. Pierce for enough tree
to plant around all sides OF thei
Yards here, which 1t Is needless L
add will make big Improvement t

Shepherd. OF the bondholders' com
} mittee, has also placed an order 70

I number of trees as starter for tn

AN AUsPICIOUs BEGINNING.
The jerome Co-Operative Creamery
Closes the First Month with
Most Satisfactory Record.

The first months record of the Je-
rome Cooperative Creamery is one
that every stockholder and others
who are interested In this new indus
try for Jerome, might we'll be proud
Of. From Manager Braman we learn
that during the month Of January
there was received at the creamery
1926 pounds of cream, and the out
put of butter was 11,549 pounds.
The number of patrons have steadily
opened and now numbers 173, all To-
cal producers, as no effort has thus
| far been made to reach out to the
surrounding section for patrons.
While the full returns from all but
ter shipped have not as yet been re-
ceived, it is estimated that the pat
rons will receive on an average OF
29 cents per pound for their butter
fat for the month.
Mr. Braman informs us that he
has found no difficulty in disposing
of the output, and has received sew
eral complimentary letters regarding
the quality of the butter turned out.
While there has been some slight
Interruptions in the workings OF the
creamery at first, it has been clearly
demonstrated by the first months
operation that it can be made great
success, and there is not a reason in
the world why it should not be sue
cess, as the facilities are at hand for
, making as fine a product as can be
! placed on the market, and Mr.. Bra
l man has certainly shown his ability
= as an expert butter maker, and the
whole matter now rests with the pro-
q ducers of butter fat in this section.
e The way to insure its success is TO
+ give 1t your entire patronage and
e hearty support. The figures given
d above are far above the expectations
v of the management, and are equal te
n many of the cerameries that have
al been operating for years. When i

THE LINE is FEASIBLE.
Such Is the Report Of the Commission
on the North and South
Railroad Plan.
Special Session Of the Legislature
Recommended That the Pre-
liminary Work May Be
Commenced.

Advanced sheets reached us late
last week containing the full report
of the commission appointed to in
yestigate the feasibility of the state
building a north and south railroad
as provided for by the 1915 session
of the legislature. The report Is
quite lengthy as it goes into details
as to the cost of construction OF the
different sections, and a considerable
portion of the report is devoted to
the question of tonnage that might be
expected in the way of timber, agri'
culture products and livestock.
The approximate cost of roadworF
and grading between Grangeville an6
higgins is $4,000 per mile. The to
tai cost Of construction betweel
Grangeville and New Meadows, In
lcluding bridges, culverts, ties, rails
stations, etc., leaving the line read
for rolling stock, is estimated at S76
900 per mile.
The proposition OF building such
, line is found to be so feasible by tn
: commission that they recommend III
: calling of a special session of the lei
: islature for the purpose of inaug'
q rating surveys, procuring rights
n way, and taking other preliminal
steps looking to the commenceme
OF active work on the line at once.

The Basket Ball game last Thurs
day evening between the Jerome and
Rupert teams proved, as was antici-
pated, a fast and interesting game,
though the Rupert team proved
little too heavy for our home boys.
1t may be said, however, In support
of our home team, that they played a
strong game, and won honors for
themselves, and with the practice
that has been enjoyed by the visiting
