LAND TOO VALUABLE
SweeIey Says Twin Falls People Are
Pulling Up Trees
(Statesnnan)

Marlin J. Sweeley of Twin Falls,
candidate for the nomination for at
torney general at the Republican
primaries, arrived from Twin Fails
Wednesday and stated that the far
mers i'm that locality would not feel
any pinch as the result of damage
to fruit by frost.
"Our farmers are uprooting their
fruit trees" said Mr. Sweeley. "They
have found that their land is too vail
liable for fr1itgrowing. Diversified
farming, it has been demonstrated in
our part of the country, is much
more profitable. Almost every far
mer has few strings to his bow.
Cattle and sheep pay we'll. The return
from seed growing have been enor-
nous.
"We passed the cheap alfalfa stage
long ago. 1t goes into beef, pork and
mutton now. Dairying Is a depend
able and remunerative feature Of our
farm hfe. Silos are going up in all
directions and the farmers are grow
ing an abundance of the right kind of
silage. We have enough fruit for
home consumption and some to spare
but 1t is no longer an important
factor in our farm production"
