Mr.. Hochbaum was in Jerome Fri
day and held a meeting with the ex-
ecutive board and advisory council at
which time the workings of these
bodies was fully explained and some
preliminary work laid out.
The first thing of Importance was
thought TO be, clover and alfalfa seed
production, and il possible some
practical men will be secured to meet
and advise with the farmers on these
questions.
Mr.. Dewey will have a man here
to help in the potato work and artf-
cles will appear in the local papers
from time to time on these subjects
and others.
All farmers are urged to treat
their grain this year. This is very
easily done and may mean big saw

The Dams Are Guarded.

Noting from the press dispatches
that the government is closely guard
ing all of its large dams. some OF the
settlers on the tract have felt some
uneasiness as regards the Miner and
Jackson Lake dams, which impound
the irrigation water for this tract.
To put their minds at ease, We might
state that both dams have been safe
ly guarded for some time. though the
announcement of the same has not
been made public. for various rea-
sons. AS soon as there was any pros
poets of hostilities with Germany.
Manager Shepherd at once arranged
for the safely guarding of the Miner
dam. as well as other important parts
of our irrigation system.
The Importance of the Milner dam
to the people of this tract is seldom
considered, but on il depends the
welfare of every resident, and 1t is
also an important factor in produc-
ing the food supply of the nation.

j. X White. state pure food COM
missioner and sanitary inspector. has
issued to dealers of the state notice
regarding the new law passed by the
last legislature relating to gasoline
and oils and their adulteration. The
governor approved this law in the
form of senate bill No. IS. Commits
sioner White considers the new law
one of the most important and pro-
poses to see that its provisions are
rigidly enforced so that adulterated
gasoline and oil will be kept out of
the state.
The main provision OF the law Is
found in section y, as follows:
THAT for the purpose of this act
an article shall be deemed to be adul-
terated: First-If any substance
has been mixed and packed with It
so as to reduce or lower or injurious
ly affect its quality, purity or
strength. Second-If any substance
has been substituted wholly or in
part. for the article. Third-1f the
article fail to conform TO any of the
requirements of the standards of
quality. purity and strength adopted
by the bureau of mines of the United
States department of the interior.
The penalty for violating these
provisions is from s25 to $500 and
Inspector White says he expects to
conduct a most strenuous campaign
against adulterating gasoline dealers,
some of whom are already known to
him and that the dealers who handle
standard article are Loyalty cooper
ating with the department in furnish
ing information and evidence that
will lead to the conviction OF the
dealer who sells Kerosene mixed for
the genuine article.

COLONIZATION AND INDUSTRIES.
Greatest Need Is TO Put Families of
Working People on Unoc-
pied Lands.

The greatest need of the state is
more producers TO go upon the un-
used lands and make them produc-
tive.
To bring down the high cost of
living. to produce more of the neces-
stiles of life, We must encourage
families to make homes on the land.
To accomplish this result and de-
velop the state industrially sepecula-
tive prices Of land must be elm
mated.
To get colonies of five or ten or
twenty families to locate on land
near towns, the land must be pro-
ductive and the price must not be
prohibitive and terms easy.
Real estate speculations in lands
at two-hundred to five-hundred dol
lars an acre with big commissions
and high rates of interest and taxes
make this impossible
Land is only worth, from the
standpoint of production, what a
family can produce out of the soil by
labor, deducting taxes, interest and
cost of upkeep on land and improve
ments.
There should be land open to col
onization on these terms in the vicin-
| ity, or in marketing distance from
every city and town on the Pacific
coast
Commercial clubs should try tc
find openings for colonization Of
lands in tracts of from SO to 1000
acres and let them be filled witt
families of laboring people.
In these days of social discomfort
of foreign wars, of bread riots anC
revolutions. it is just as importan
to keep the idea that real producer
are needed and industrial develop
ment must continue.
Many communities are land-pool
and production-poor The problem
is to bring over-valued, cvertaxec
and under-productive lands within
reach of landless families who nee,
homes and employment.
Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1917-04-05
To Those Needing Farm Labor.

At the suggestion of a number OF
the farmers on the Tract needing
farm help. placed an advertisement
in a number of the large newspapers
of Western Cities. calling attention
to the fact that good farm hands and
irrigators could find profitable en-
ployment in this part Of the State.
and invited INQUIRY. ! have, 80 far,
received about seventy-five letters.
Many claim to be experienced irriga-
tors and to understand farm work
under irrigation. Some are married
and both husband and wife would
like TO work; some are inexperienced
but want work.
am turning a list of all these ap-
plicants with their postofflce ad-
dresses and statements as to exper-
ience over to the Village Board of Je-
rome, who have arranged to conduct
a labor exchange for the benefit OF
the farmers. Inquiries should be
made of B. o. Hill. Village Clerk,
who has this matter in charge.
We will sure have to hustle this
spring to get the crops in the ground.
1t doesn't pay to do a poor job, so
figure it is going to take lot of ex-
ira help.
Owing to the lateness OF spring
good many will take chances on poor
work. Don't be one Of that number.
The year looks like another record
breaker for prices. To be in on this
means that you must have something
to sell,-hence all the more need for
good farming.

The government has also taken
steps to guard the Minidoka dam, the
Arrowrock, jackson Lake and other
dams. and all its irrigation works in
all parts of the northwest
The several railroad companies In
the state have also taken steps to
guard their bridges and important
parts of their right-of-way. Recently
the Oregon Short Line took "a young
men, members of Company D of Twin
Falls and X, of Buhl, to guard its
bridges on the main line between
American Falls and Salt Lake City.
Since the national guard was called
out these men have been recalled and
others have taken their places.

S-Inch Wagon Tires.

The Johnston bill prohibiting sales
OF wagons with tires less than three
inches wide. was signed by the gov
ernor last week.
Peter G. Johnston first introduced
the measure in the legislature a half
dozen years ago. When 1t failed to
pass. he introduced It again at the
next session. and at the next. 1t be-
came a hobby with him.
Bingham county people claim mar
row tires cut up their roads. and they
kept returning Johnston to the lower
house in the belief that he would A.
nally get the wide tire bill through
the legislature.
It is left to county commissioners
whether the bill shall be effective in
their counties.

published as Water Supply Paper S93
its annual volume for 1914 showing
the results of measurements of the
principal streams in the Snake River

year at more than $50 points. These
