PAYETTE CANNERY
FOR THE HANDLING OF LARGE
QUANTITIES OF SWEET
CORN IS PROBABLE.

Hon. w. A. Coughanour returned
home the first of this week from
Louisville, KY, where he attended
the great National Gamers Conven-
ton. While in attendance at the con-
vention Mr.. Coughanour had an op-
portunity to examine and investi-
gate the merits of various kinds of
machinery used in canneries and as
a result of these investigations comes
home with an enthusiastic determin-
alton to persuade the board of di-
rectors of the Idaho Canning Com
pany, in which he is a heavy stock
holder, to add machinery for the
handling of large quantities of sweet
corn, as soon as it can be demon
strated by the people of this valley
that they can furnish that product
in sufficient quantity of satisfactory
quality The matter is of so much
importance to the community that

anxious to find investment in such
enterprises as the Idaho Canning
Company everything possible should
be done to lend encouragement That
is the way to build a city and make
a community of prosperous and con-
tented farmers.
Mr.. Coughanour says he found the
very disagreeable un-
til he reached what is commonly
known as the inter-mountain country
of the West on his return trip.

P. Monroe Smock of New Ply
mouth, who represented the State
of Idaho as a member of the Ford
European Peace Expedition, deliver
ed his new lecture entitled Trail
of the Tenderfoot," in this city Mon
day evening before an audience that
filled the large gymnasium room of
the Y. NJ. c.. A. building. The lee
lure was intensely interesting and
held the close attention of the large
audience for two hours without the
least sign of wrestlessness. In his
recital of the scenes and inctdSnts
that came under his personal cbser-
yation while at sea and travelling In
foreign lands, Mr.. Smock fully sus-
tanned his reputation as popular
platform orator.
The lecturer carried the audience
with him from the hour of receiving
the notification of his selection by
Governor Alexander as member OF
the celebrated Ford peace party un-
til the landing of the peace pilgrims
at New York on the 29th day OF
January, and it may truly be said
that he has a message that is worth
hearing. Around the travels of the
in both neutral and war
cursed foreign lands the lecturer
has woven a story SO filed with
pathos and humor that it holds the
hearer spellbound froT beginning to
end.

most interesting and helpful of al
the subjects discussed.
The keynote of the entire meet.
ing was, definiteness of purpose on
the farm, cooperation for the good
of all, and a careful study OF individ-
ual farms. Various speakers urged q
change from the policy of rushing
into one thing when prices were
good and out when prices dropped
and suggested that the true way to
build up q. community was, go slow
ON new crops until methods Of grow
ing were well understood and a

c. T. Norgard CT the state depart
ment of agriculture set forth new
plan, almost ready for use, whereby
the tuberculin test of cattle will not
only be of greater value as an aid to
science, but will be of increased COM

greater protection to breeder, seller
and buyer.
Under the plan tuberculin tested
cattle will not only be given rating
above these not tested, but this rating
will be interstate and will be main
tanned and backed by veterinary de-
partments of all states. The plan al
ready has been Endorsed by a number
of states.
