FIRE DESTROYS
PLANT AT NANPA
Crystal Ice Company Suffers
Heavy Loss, Partly Gov
cred by Insurance.

Nampa, May 1.-THE plant of the
Crystal Ice company located on Sixth
avenue and Front street in this city
was almost wholly destroyed by fire
yesterday afternoon at about o'clock
The loss Is estimated at $4,000 with in
surance probably covering half Of this
amount. The building was fairly filled
with artificial ice manufactured here
by the company, a part of which was
destroyed. The origin of the fire is not
yet known, but is believed to have
started from the outside
The company, which is composed
very largely of Boise men, held con-
tracts with a number of leading fruit
companies of the northwest for the
icing of fruit shipments from this Sec
ton. and consequent to these contracts,
the company may be necessitated to
rebuild the plant at once. Much of the
storage was saved. OF this was meat to
the value Of about $1,000 owned by the
New York market, local concern.
Insurance was carried on the pant,
but what sum can not be ascertained
The fire department responded to the
fire alarm given in, but too great pro-
portions had been assumed by 1t for
the building to be saved.

MORE SHIPMENTS OF
STOCK BEING MADE

Meridian, May 11.-Stock shipments
continue from this place without de-
crease Of proportions, abundantly evil
deneing that there is a sound and per-
manent basis for the prosperity of the
town. This is one OF the section of the
state where there L a general applica-
ton of the principle OF diversification
among the farmers. They are not de-
pendent upon any one industry. Each
has his commercial orchard, but he is
also largely engaged in the livestock
industry and in the production of grain
crops, and in no other section, perhaps,
has the principle of diversificat.on been
demonstrated to be the proper course
than here. Farmers in the Meridian
section emphasize the fallacy of "plac-
ing all of their eggs in one basket"
Three carloads of hogs were shipped
out yesterday by A. P. Wolf, the we'll
known stockman. Anothe-' carload of
hay also went out yesterday.

MUST DELAY THE
DRAINAGE WORK
Reclamation Service Has No
Fund for the Purpose at
It's Disposal.

Nampa, May lit develops that
there will be d lay in the accomplish
ment of the drainage Of Indian creek
which flows through this city until the
federal government completes its work
of draining the lands of this section,
commenced recently. This is due to the
fact that no money is available from
the government funds at this juncture
and that nothing can be done until
there is a fund which can be drawn
from for this purpose.
Chief Engineer Burkholder OF the re-
clamation service, who is in charge of
the drainage work, is of the belief that
there will be a surplus at the termina-
ton of this work which can be utilized
for the desired Improvement, but no
definite knowledge of this is to be had
until the work l.; completed.
1t will be recalled that the cities Of
Nampa and Caldwell have both suffer
ed as a result of the spring overflows
of this stream the pas few years and
at recent joint meeting of the city
council, the officials of the different
irrigation companies and the officials
of the reclamation service, efforts al
concerted action We're taken, but it now
appears that there will be a delay of
several months in the greatly needed
Improvement.
The connection of the reclamation
service in the proposed work is due to
the fact that when its canal is over full
1t uses the creel. to carry it's surplus
water.

SURVEY MADE OF
COUNTRY HOMES
Federal and State Agents
Cooperate in Work in
Canyon County.

Caldwell, May 1.-THE monthly re-
view of county agent work in Idaho
contains the following, which is of in
terest to the farmers of Canyon county:
"Of unusual interest is the survey of
rural homes now being conducted in
Canyon county by Miss Jessie Hoover,
of the department of home economics
Of the University Of Idaho. This work
is undertaken with the cooperation of
the federal department of agriculture,
the county agents of Canyon county, w.
T. Mccall, and the department of agri-
cultural extension.
The purpose of this sur ~ is to
gain first hand information of the
methods of homo management that
prevail in the rural communities, and
then to encourage the adoption of labor
saving conveniences in the farm home
and to work for more efficient methods
of home management. Already a great
deal of interest 8 being shown in this
survey on the part of country women,
and since all are cooperating fully
some valuable suits in this new field
may be expected"
Treatment of Seed Potatoes.
TN Canyon county Mr.. Mccall has
been extremely busy with his demon
STATIONS of the selection and treatment
of seed potatoes. At Mr.. Oellien's farm
the above quantity Of potatoes were
treated at a demonstration, and enough
seed for an acre plot of potatoes to be
grown for seed were selected besides.
Through such demonstrations the
potato growers will cooperate in get
ting control of the diseases. Mr.. Mccall
is giving very efficient supervision to
this work and good results may be ex-
pected. Six farmers, all Of them large
growers Of the crop, will demonstrate
methods of growing potatoes under the
supervision of Mr.. Mccall. In this way
the farmers of several communities
may judge for themselves of the eff
tectiveness of the methods demon
strated.
Will Lead in Club Work.
Every Indication now points to the
above, for Mr.. Mccall and Miss 2. Fay
Fowler, county superintendent of
schools, have certainly worked up a
great interest in this work on the part
of pupils and parents. More than this
they are laying the foundations for re-
suits because of the careful orgauiza-
ton and folloW-up work that has been
developed by these two workers.
Mr.. Mccall has great faith in the aid
that will be given the redirection of
rural school effort through the club
work. In an article prepared by him for
the Gem State Rural, he says:
But the biggest advantage in club
work lies in the fact that 1t emphasizes
useful and productive work and gets
the club member interested in the
problems of his neighborhood. And as
soon as boy or girl learns the mag
nitude Of those problems, and learns
that there are just as big problems to
be worked out on the farms and in the
| farm home as there are in the large
cities-1ust that soon is the stay on
| the farm question solved. No live,
healthy, intelligent farm boy or girl is
going TO the city as long as there are
| big things to be done on the farm. All
we need to do is to give them an intel
| ligent understanding of what the prob
| lens are and they will do the rest"
