The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1916-12-08

WE have a number of partially improved
farms, principally on the Richield and
Dietrich Tracts, upon which we will place ten
ants for terms of from three to five years. VIII
lease these places under agreements providing
for completion of improvement under the direc-
ton of the Company and an equitable division
of expense and income. Terms and conditions
can easily be met by men of small means. We
are prepared to enter into mutually profitable
arrangements with the right parties. Appli-
cants who have not had farming experience on
this or the Snake River projects will not be con
sidered. Men with families will be given the
preference. Both husband and wife must like
the country and have ambitions to eventually
own a farm of their own here. We will require
from applicants references as to honesty, indus
try and farming experience, unless they are
known to us personally. The more capital,
livestock and farm tools a man has the more
profitable arrangement he can make. While we
are not offering this as an inducement, it is an
excellent opportunity for the man of small
means to gain a foothold which may enable
him to become an owner at the end of the lease
period. A few farms are ready for occupancy
now. Others will be ready early in the spring.
Applications in Writing should state fully
extent, character and location Of farming ex-
perience. size of family and age of children;
amount of capital, livestock and farm tools;
kind of crop and livestock with which applicant
has had most experience. Applicant must fur
nish names of at least three references mot rela-
tives) who have personal knowledge ofhIs stand
ing and reputation, at least one of which must
be a banker or merchant with whom he has done
business. Applications will be received up to
Nov. Ist.. for immediate consideration and up
to January 1st., 1917, for consideration in the
Spring. The first applicants will be in line for
the best places. Address applications to

Protecting Trees from Injury,

Rabbits and mice often do a great
amount of damage in young orchards,
Rabbits work on top of the snow and
mice under it. Merely tramping the snow
hard around each tree as soon as It has
fallen will do much to keep mice away,
and II is important to see that rnuIches
are no nearer than six inches to the tree
trunk unless some kind of protector is
relied upon.
When there is a large orchard both
time and labor are saved and protection
is Pade sure by fastening some device
arOund the trees which will turn all
rodents. Undoubtedly the best protect
Ors are tubes made of wire cloth or wood
veneer They can be purchased ready
for use and are inexpensive, says E, I.
Harrington in Farm and Home.
The wire cloth should be twenty-four
inches high, and is easily shaped by
wrapping it around broom handle. Then
it will spring into place when set around
a tree and no tying will be necessary. II
is best to have the wire overlap an inch
and 1t should stand at least an inch away
from the tree all around
Some growers make protectors OF this
kind at home. It is only necessary IN
buy heavy wire cloth with uuarter-inch
mesh and cut it into strips five to eight
inches wide. The tube should be pressed
an inch into the ground and may be left

BRINGS BACK 5000
PLANTS FROM CHINA
Department of Agriculture Expedition
Returns After Three Years of
Exploration in Interior.

The third expedition into China to dis
cover new plants suitable for introduce
ton into the United States has been COM
peted by F NJ Meyer, plant explorer
of the Department Of Agriculture, who
has just returned to Washington after a
three-year trip in the Far East. AS re-
suit Of this expedition through the CEN
ter Of China, and two previous exPlora-
tons OF similar duration covering ex-
tremely cold ALanchurian regions and
the arid regions Of Chinese Turkestan,
there have been sent to America, for
planting and testing for commercial
adaptability, seeds, roots, or cuttings Of
some 5000 food and forage plants, flow
ers, ornamental shrubs and vines, shade
and timber trees. The previous ex-
petitions brought to America specimens
Of many cOld-resistant and dry-land
grains, sorghums, soy beans, alfalfas, ana
also certain semitropiCal plants, such as
the bamboo, which are now under expert
mentatiOn to determine their usefulness
for the extreme South.
OF the many specimens forwarded to
this country during the last expedition,
the specialists regard as most significant
the jujube, a fruit new to this country,
which may be suitable for use in the
Southwest; a wild peach resistant to al
kali, cold, and drought, the root system
OF which offers great possibilities as a
grating host; certain Chinese persim-
mons larger than any hitherto known in
this country; a number of aquatic food
roots and vegetables which offer prom

swamp land; some thirty varieties Of
vegetable and timber bamboos; and
number OF Chinese vegetables, bush and
climber roses, shrubs, and trees.

SURVEYS OF RIVERS
In OREGON COMPLETED
Geological Survey Announces Result
of Work on Middle Fork of
Willamette River.

Surveys and profiles have just been
completed by the United States Geologi-
cal Survey on the Middle Fork of Will
lamette River and on White River, Ore
gon, with view to determining the loca-
ton Of undeveloped water powers on
these streams, and the results have been
published as Water Supply Paper 37s.
The six plan and profile sheets contained
in the report show not only the outlines
Of the river banks, the islands, the posi-
tons of rapids, falls, shoals, and existing
dams, and the crossings of all ferries
and roads, but the contours of banks to
an elevation high enough to indicate the
possibility of using the stream for devel-
oping power.
Willamette River drains a trough
shaped area extending north and south
between the Coast and Cascade ranges
in Oregon, about 40 miles long and about
So miles wide. The river is navigable for
ocean-going vessels from its mouth to
Portland, and for ordinary river steam
boats from Portland to Corvallis, except
during few months OF each year. Boats
pass around the falls of Willamette
River at Oregon City by a series of five
locks, which are now in private owner
ship. The Willamette River is not sub
ject to great floods, but Is characterized
by a large low-water flow. The effect of
reservoirs on this river would therefore
be less marked than on more fashy
streams. but their operation would great
ly enhance the value OF the river for
irrigation, power, and navigation.
White River is one Of the larger tribu-
taries Of the Deschutes and rises on the
southern slopes of Mount Hood. A short
distance west Of Deschutes River the
White falls from the Deschutes Plateau
into a canyon, forming a number OF pic
turesque cascades. This natural water
power has been utilized by means OF a
hydroelectrfc plant.

London, March abolition % the
vodka monopoly has cost Russia more
than $3.50, 10000
What capital Russia will require to
meet her obligations and to establish
a budget, as in normal times. has caused
some uneasiness recently in Petrograd
due to striking calculations by Russian
economists. II has been estimated by
the New Economist, one of the most con-
sentative reviews in Russia, that pay
ment Of interest and redemption of war
debts, added to pensions for invalids and
the families Of the killed. will require a
yearly total of S1.15O.OO 900. in addition
to the usual annual Russian expenditure,
which normally Is about H,75O,OO0,0O0.
Monopolization OF industry by the state
is the only possibility to raise this enor-
nous amount This is the view of Prof.
Migulin, editor Of the New Economist
Prof. Migulin does not believe that the
remedy can be found by taxation, be-
cause taxation has its limits.
Population Decreasing.
Moreover, the population of Russia is
decreasing. Not only are the losses in
the field to be counted, but there is an
increase in the death rate and a decline
IN the birth rate. Official figures just
published show that in fifty Russian
provinces the death rate increased in 1914
by % per cent per 1000 Inhabitants

NATURE RICHES HIDDEN.
Hard to Find Good OIL Producer In
wyoming Section.

Wyoming Section.
Natures provisions for the comfort of
mankind in seemingly inhospitable re-
gions are sometimes well hidden and are
found only after the scientist and the
venturesome prospector have come to
the aid of the settler. In the Bighorn
Basin Of Northern Wyoming lack of
water and lack of fuel are conspicuous
features, and the sagebrush desert, where
the temperature ranges from 50 degrees
below zero in January to 1O5 degrees
above zero In July. where the annual
rainfall is less than six inches, and where
timber Is scarce, is not attractive to the
settler.
Some years ago three wells drilled in a
dome or uphold OF the rocks near Basin,
IN Big Horn County, struck a strong flow
of gas, and GreybuIl and Basin now have
the distinction Of being the only towns
in Wyoming that are supplied with
natural gas.
Field work done by United States Geo.
logical Survey parties has resulted in
reports that show the position of the
rock folds, and drilling has resulted in
the discovery Of oil. Fifty-two wells had
been drilled near Basin up to last Oc-
tober and more than three-fourths Of
them yielded oil or gas in commercial
quantity.
In order to drill some of these wells
water had to be hauled in wagons from
the river, miles away. Water suitable
for domestic use was found in many Of
the wells

MILLIONS IN METALS.
Immense Value of Silver and Lead
Mined in Utah.

The Cottonwood-American Fork mining
region, Utah, has produced over twenty
million dollars worth of metals-silver
and lead and smaller quantities of gold
and copper, states report of the
Geological survey.
The region includes the Big Cottonwood,
Little Cottonwood. American Fork, and
Alpine mining districts, in the central
part of the Wasatch Mountains, just
southwest of the Park City district. Alta,
the principal town, is about twenty miles
southeast OF Salt Lake City. The region
extends to the edge OF Salt Lake Valley.
The west base Of the range stands about
5000 feet above sea level and the highest
submits reach attitudes OF Il, 800 feet
The heavy snowfall greatly interferes
with winter operations and since the
timber was removed snowslides have
been a menace to life and property.
