BENNINGTON FARMERS
PLANT LARGE ACREAGE

Bennington, June 13-It is sur
prising to know what the farmers Of
this vicinity have accomplished in
the way of planting grain, in spite
of the late spring and the high cost
Of seed and feed. The farmers OF
this section have put forth every eff
fort possible to comply with the
wishes of the government In the
matter of doubling crops. The one
who has probably accomplished the
most in the shortest period of time
is Dave Parker. In 10 days he
plowed and seeded $50 acres of land.
Part of the time he had a crew of
IL men and 38 head of horses work
ing, making his expense about $50 a
day, not counting what he paid for
seed. But Dave said he was putting
it all in for Uncle Sam, regardless
of expense.

lowing young people from here were

It begins to look as though an
other reason would pass without any
thing being done to improve the
Montpelier-Afton road. We doubt If
there ever was community so blind
to its own interests as is Montpelier
in this particular instance. A large
majority of the people of Star valley
not only prefer Montpelier as their
railroad point, but there are strong
social bonds between the people of
Star and Bear Lake valleys, and a
good highway between the two points
would mean that the people would
visit back and forth much more than
they now do. That of itself is one
reason why good road should con-
meet the two sections. Then the
amount of freight that is annually
hauled from Montpelier to Alton is
more than is hauled over any other
mountain road in the United States,
and we venture the assertion that
there is not another mountain road
in this country that is in such a de-
plorable condition as is the one lead
ing from Montpelier to Alton.
We stood idly by and let the mail
route slip away from US, ard we are
still asleep to the fact that the entire
traffic of Star valley will be lost to
US in the near future, If the road is
not put in better condition. It ap-
pears to us that 1t will take a Jolt
about like the British gave the Ger
mans few days ago to awaken the
people OF Montpelier to realization
OF the benefits that would be de-
rived--not only to Montpelier but
to all Of Bear Lake valley, by the
construction OF a good road to At
ton.

FORMED TO WORK
PHOSPHATE MINE AT PARIS

One Of the most interesting pieces
Of news in mining circles that has
developed recently, says the Salt
Lake Tribune, is the formation of a
new corporation, organized to bring
into active production a large de-
post Of highgrade phosphate rock
Tor the manufacture and distribution
of this valuable fertilizing material,
within the radius OF permissible
transportation costs, between the
Mississippi river and the Pacific
coast.
The new corporation bears the
name Of the Western Phosphate Min
ing and Manufacturing company. 1t
has strong and able men behind it,
the board OF directors including L.
A. Jeffs, president; De Witt Knox,
secretary-treasurer J. Russell Shep-
herd, vice president, with M. Grandy
and r. A. Volker, the last three be-
ing residents of Paris, Idaho.
The location Of the property is at
Paris, Idaho, and consists Of a tract
of patented land, embracing 240 ac-
res, containing more than one mile
of the phosphate outcrop, estimated
by conservative engineers at more
than 100000 tons.
The plans of the company include
the construction of mill of 200 tons
daily capacity and it is the intention
to rush construction work so that the
finely ground raw rock will be sup
piled for use this fall, which will
give results in next seasons crop.
Much of the preliminary work of
experimenting, testing and educating
future users of this material has
already been done and a market
awaits the finished product of the
plant at capacity. Some of the peo-
pie interested have spent many years
in the study and development of the
phosphate industry, which is not new
in the south, central and western
sections of the country, but which
has been comparatively neglected in
the west. The continued and in
creasing shortage of food product!
has apparently emphasized the neces
sity for fertilizer material in the in
termountain and Pacific coast re
gion, according to the belief of tht
experts who have made a study o
the situation, and 1t is this situation
that the company intends to meet

n you have not purchased Lib
erty Bond there is still an opportun-
ity for you to do your bit by con-
tributing to the Red Cross fund.
Idaho has been called upon to furn-
ish s250,00O for Red Cross work.
OF this sum Bear Lake county has
been asked to contribute $500.
This money will be used in a most
worthy cause. and It may be that
some OF the Bear Lake boys who
sooner or later will 80 to France,
will need the services of Red Cross
nurses. For this reason the people
Of Bear Lake county should show
their loyalty by subscribing to this
fund. There were no slackers here
when it came to registering on june
s, and there should be none when
it comes to supplying the funds
needed to help care for the sick and
wounded soldiers.
