TO IMPROVE THE COUNTRY.

The Capital News has asked the
leading citizens of this section to
give their ideas as to the best method
to improve conditions in Boise and
surrounding country.
In answer, Col. o. P. Hendershot,
secretary of the Gem State Fair, says:
ITO improve conditions in Boise we
must increase the producing power
of the country tributary to Boise.
We have idle land and idle men. II

generously to intensive cultivation,

Continuing Mr.. Henderson, says:
I'VE might organize a credit sys-
tenn whereby the farmers in the

This company is now operating
cheese factories at Meridian and Ea-
gle and plans are well under way to
build cheese factories at Perkins,
Kuna and McDermott. The only diff
