The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-04-03
UNIVERSITY GLEE GLIB

Twin Falls will be offered one of
the unusual treats of the year when
the University of Idaho Glee Club APP
pears at the high school auditorium
on Tuesday, April TO- The club has
already taken two trips through the
northern and central parts of Idaho,
and advance information from these
sections indicates that the program
this year will surpass that of last
year in musical excellence.
The ensemble work of the club, I'M
der the director Prof. Storer, has at
tanned a degree of perfection which
justifies them in claiming the distinc-
ton of being THE Best Glee Club
in the Northwest" The two club
numbers receiving the greatest com
mendation are both patriotic in ma
ture, they are, THE Boys of the Old
Brigade" and Comrades in Arms" a
rousing air with a vigorous martial
swing The College Medley" an ar
rangement of old favorites and dark
ey melodies, has proved especially
popular among all audiences.
The feature numbers are numerous,
but the two which make the strongest
impression are the readings of Fred
f. Erb, and the syncopations by the
University quartet
Mr.. Erb's number is 1.-THE Shoot
ing of Dan McGrew," given in dram
attic manner which is rendered all the
more intense by the subdued piano
accompaniment, it holds the audience
spellbound. 1t is a story of early
Alaska, and sweeps on to the climax
with irresistible force
The offerings of the quartet include
arrangements of many of the better
popular songs. These have taken so
well with audiences that time and
again they have exhausted their rep
ertoire, and have had to resort to
impromptu stunts to satisfy the peo-
pies greed for more.
The vocal solosists number three, r.
Cannon, tenor; II. King, baritone; and
II. Macdonald, bass. In their num-
bers they are accompanied by the en-
tire Glee club. Cannon's singing of
Garry Me Back to Old Virginia. is
especially worthy of note.
G.. n. Johnson, violin soloist, by his
finished technique, and faultless ex-
preston, has earned the right to be
classed among the best of amateur
violinists Much favorable comment
has been excited by his playing of
Pienne's Serenade.
been excited by his playing of Pienne's
Serenade.
On the whole the program promises
TO maintain the high standard of ex-
cellence set by last years organiza-

One boy raised and cared for ten
acres of corn. Most of the corn be-
ing used for silage, but several acres
matured and the corn was exhibited

Another boy started to standardize

heads selected and continuous grading
he has produced enough wheat to see
him through his first two years of
college work. And has the only pure
Dicklow wheat in the country.
There are many other cases, where
members have been successful in the
practical application of the work.

PROFESSOR MUSSER
LEAVES FOR CANYON
superintendent of Agriculture Has Ac-
cepted Position and His Successor
Arrives.

THE king is dead; long live the
king is the slogan of the boys in the
high school class of agriculture this
week resulting from the passing of
Professor r. H. Musser who for two
years has filled to the satisfaction of
all the position of teacher of agricul-
ture in the schools here. Professor
Musser left Saturday evening for Can
yon county where he becomes county
agricultural agent. His work here has
been informally successful.
Professor r. l.. Wrigley, the new SUI
perintendent arrived in this city Sat
urday from Logan, Utah, where he has
been taking post graduate work in the
agricultural college. Professor Wrig-
ley has taught six years, three years
of which time he has been in charge
of the branch agricultural college at
Cedar City, Utah, where he was also
teacher or agronomy. He comes high
ly recommended.
The course in agriculture in the
high school consists of four years
work:
First, animal husbandry, horticul-
ture.
Second, stock judging, farm crops.
Third, dairying, feeds and feeding.
Fourth, farm management, irriga-
ton, farm machinery, bee culture
The course has gradually grown I'M
til now there are sixty boys taking the
work.
Programs are given monthly by the
agriculture club, which has a member
ship of seventy-five boys, who are TAX
ing or have taken agriculture.
The school work is made up of three
hours recitation and four hours of
laboratory work each week. The lab
oratory work is made up of expert
mental work and farm visits. By farm
visits the classes study conditions &C
tually existing on the farm.
Credit is given for home project
work. During the summer months
some of the boys take up club work
such as follows: raise an acre of corn,
cultivate a garden, raise a pig, calf
or colt, raise poultry. In each of the
clubs the boys or girls keep records
of cost of project and time spent in
producing, being able to determine net
profit
Last summer some $50 boys and
girls took up this work Some forty
five per cent of them completed it
and made a splendid showing at the
school fair held the latter part of Oc-
tober.
One boy sold $50 worth of garden
produce from a small garden.

BELIEVES THAT BEET
PRICES SHOULD RISE
President of The Beet Growers As
ISOLATION Adheres TO His Position
Demand for s. Beets Reasonable.

That the present conditions more
than ever warrant the beetgrowers in
asking and the sugar company in pay
ing better prices than ever and that
the demand for IS beets is reasonable
is the opinion of President John E.
White of the Twin Falls Beetgrowers
association who declares that he ap-
preciates the friendly attitude of the
people of the city toward their de-
mands as evidenced by resolutions re-
Gently passed at a mass meeting here.
Speaking of this matter DR.. White
said:
1--WE all ought to get together for
ourselves and for the country. ! am
glad to see that the people of the city
are working with us in our movement.
! trust that the resolutions adopted
were promptly forwarded to the Anal
gamated Sugar company. 1t is not
enough that some of us send them cop
les of the newspapers containing these
resolutions. They must be made to
realize the feeling OF the community
in this respect good many farmers
are, l am informed, being given to
understand that they may expect So
beets if they sign up at 81. This is
not enough as the company is not
bound to pay more than it signs for,
and is it too wise to sign up unless
the price is named at So in black and
white? The food conditions are such,
as indicated by the letter of the sec
rotary of agriculture, that more money
can be made by planting wheat than
at raising beets at less than So a tom

FEWER SPUDS IN THE
INTERMOUNTAIN REGION
Salt Lake Dealers Find That Late
Season and Uncertainty VIII Cut
Acreage.

SALT LAKE CITY-PotatO acreage
in Utah and Idaho will be decreased
during the coming summer on &C
count of the high cost of seed potatoes
and the fear which exists among the
growers that the eastern states will
produce such crop of potatoes next
year that the prices will tumble. AT
the different seed stores in Salt Lake
it is said that seed potatoes are hard
to get in quantities, and reports made
to the Utah-Idaho Sugar company by
the agricultural experts are to the eff
feet that seed potatoes sufficient to
plan an acre of ground would cost
$40
Throughout eastern and southeast
ern Idaho, where the large part of the
potatoes of the state are grown. the
farmers are planting but small tracts
except in cases where the big produc-
ers saved their own seed 1t is esti-
mated that forty acre tracts of potato
es will be the rule this year.
Reports from the Cache valley are
to the effect that the farmers in that
section are planting more potatoes
this year than they did last, as the
greater part of Utah potatoes are con-
tracted in advance. In the southern
part Of the state where potatoes
been planted during the past few
years, it is said the acreage will be in
creased
Farmers in Idaho have notified the
sugar companies in the event that they
can secure satisfactory prices for
beets they will devote more to beets
and less to potatoes as they are un-
certain as to prices for the latter. 1t
is stated that Texas seed potatoes may
be thrown on the market within a few
weeks and as a result the price of seed
would drop.
Preparing ground for potatoes
throughout the intermountain coun-
try has been seriously delayed. The
heavy SHOWS and the frozen ground
are said to be against an early crop
The farmers who are going in for po-
tatoes do not believe that early pota-
toes locally will be on the market be-
fore the middle of July or the first of
August.

TRACK WASHED OUT
NEAR AMSTERDAM
Forty Feet Swept Away at Crossing
Flood Caused BY Salmon
Dam Filling Up.

A Oregon Short Line crew has been
engaged since last Friday repairing a
break forty feet wide made by flood
waters in a small hollow just beyond
Amsterdam. The water came rushing
down following the thaw last Thurs
day afternoon and swept away the
track. A bridge is being constructed
over the draw and it will be several
days before trains can cross. At pres
ent, the train runs to Amsterdam and
the passengers and mail are carried
to the end of the line on hacks.
Manager G. M. Hall of the Twin
Falls-Salmon River company notified
The Times last week that his office
was so busy as a result of the flowing
in of water that weekly reports would
be temporarily suspended Water is
rapidly accommodating in the dam
however.

NITRATE PLANT ON
SNAKE POSSIBILITY
Government Investigationg Conditions
With a View Of Using Water Power
In Factory.

SALT LAKE CITY-Two places are
open to the federal government to es-
tablish a nitrate plant in the west
without costing the government great
sums of money. The Colorado river
project which has been under consid-
Grafton for a number of years has
been discarded as being too costly and
it was said by DR.. w. G. Ebaugh who
is at the head of the Utah division of
the national defense council. that the
government could find cheap power
either on the Snake river in Idaho or
on the Bear river in Utah These two
rivers, in his opinion. from informa-
ton which he has received from diff
ferent federal authorities, present the
most feasible power sites to develop
the necessary electricity for the MAX
ing of nitrates. DR.. Ebaugh said that
in the making of nitrate cheap cleo
trio power was necessary. He said
however, that until the western states
can get cheap labor and better trans
portation facilities that such plants
will be established in eastern sea
boards.
Nitrates are necessary in the MAX
ing of munitions and high explosives
and Germany has been depended upon
in the past to furnish this ingredient.
The federal government has already
established one nitrate plant in North
Carolina and one plant is to be estab-
lished in the west Secretary of War
Baker was to come west last month
to select a site. but the international
situation prevented his leaving Wash
ington.
