AT the meeting Of the city coun-
Gil Monday night, On mo.ion OF
Councilman Rezac, the finance com
mittee was authorized TO secure the
necessary assistance to make a
thorough audit OF the financial a.
counts Of the city. The books have
never been audited by competent
expert and it was felt by the coun-
Gil that it should not be longer de-
ferred, as the amount OF business
handled and collections and expen-
ditures OF money involved requires
that the management OF the city's
business during the past several
years should be thoroughly checked
up and clearly understood.
The proposition of making mater
ial and extensive changes in the
lighting system OF the city was
also under consideration and will be
definitely decided upon at a future
meeting Of the council.

c. A. Dewing OF Kalamazoo, Mich,

Der company, accompanied by R. E

Lumber company will open the big
planning mill at Payette and viii op-
crate it as long time as will be re-
quired to plane what is necessary
of the great quantity Of lumber this
company is now saving at Emmett.
1t will be remembered that the saw

DISTRICT AeR;cULTURIsT NOES

/ take this opportunity to express
my thanks and appreciation for the
royal welcome given me by the peo-
pie of Payette and vicinity. l wish
to enter into your problems and crcI
perplexities and if th-re is no PR
vious local data at hand for com.
parison, shall expect all to coop
crate in assembling the unusual ex.
periences in handling soils and crops
and stock and water so that the val
ley may be better informed a year
hence.
During August it is my intention
to visit a large number Of farm
homes and become familiar with
local conditions. Boys and girs hav,
ing Club projects should drop ne
a card indicating the location Of the
home place so that l may call and
help them to complete their project
records.
On Saturday afternoo1R it is my
intention to remain n r6wn for con.
ferences and may be found in the
vicinity of the Electric Investment
Company's office.
Choosing Seed Potatoes.
Now is the time to get a line
on the seed potatoes you intend
saving to plant next year. Some
growers wait until spring and then
select from the bin, but there is a
better way.
Some of your vines have died
from blight and you would not care
to plant seed from such plants. A
blighted plant may grow one fine
potato and a dozen poor ones. Should
you wait until all are in the bin you
might choose that fine looking po-
tato not knowing that the rest OF
the litter were scrub stock,
Hence now is the time to go
over your field and stake strong,
healthy, vigorous vines. Stake twice
as many as you think necessary for
seed. At harvesting time fork oGt
these hills and retain for seed those
that are most true to type and most
uniform in size. Those chosen should
be a trifle above medium size. Hills
containing many small potatoes or
but few very large potatoes should
be avoided.
If like begets like" then great
care should be taken to choose
good vines and good hills as the
first steps for an increased yield
next season.
Yours for Idaho,
w. r. PALMER.
