PAULINE ITEMS.


The infant daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Palmer died Sunday morning
from pneumonia. Funeral services
We're held Monday, burial taking place
in the Pauline cemetery.
On the platform of the Intermoun-
tain Milling Co., at Pauline, up to Mon
day evening 225, 900 pounds of wheat
were stacved up. On the Farmers
Equity platform about 450,00 10 pounds
OF wheat are stacked up. One truck
began hauling September % and two
more were put on Wednesday. The
grain is being hauled to Michaud sid
ing and the trucks will run day and
night, each making three trips daily.
Miss Lisette Hassenpflug, who has
been staying with her brother, Charles,
on his ranch north of Pauline, will
return to her home in Walla Walla,
Washington. Her brother has been
called into the army and his ranch has
been leased.
The wheat platforms at Pauline pre-
sent a busy appearance now that wheat
delivery has commenced. On Monday
afternoon eleven outfits were counted
around the platforms delivering grain.
Fall blowing and narrowing of sum
mer fallow is in full swing. An in
creased acreage is being plowed and
next year will probably see the larg-
est area seeded to wheat in the his
tory of the Pauline country.
A collision between two automobiles
was narrowly avoided Monday after
noon on the road between Pauline and
Crystal. The n-ear-accident took place
on a sharp curve on the road. Just
why drivers Of cars try to make these
turns without sounding the horn is
one Of the inexplicable mysteries of
the universe.
The rain of last Sunday was well
come to those who wanted to do fall
blowing, but to headers and %threshers
it was in no wise welcome.

and Rhode Island Reds provide plenty
of eggs for the home and a surplus
for the market. Mrs. Meitzenheimer
thinks well Of Brown Leghorn chick
ems and in the curse Of events this
species will be the sole representative
in the chicken flock of this ranch.
Ideal Dairy Ranch.
This ranch is ideally located for a
dairy, a sufficiency of fine water be-
ing provided by nature; the soil will
grow plenty of hay and the groves of
quaker aspen will give shelter during
the hot summer days. The owner of
the place is confident hat he will in
the course of a few years have n Of
the best dairies in this part of the
state.
Mr.. Meitzenheimer is a native of the
state of New York. When a little fell
low his parents wen west to Wiscon-
sin. When he grew up he learned the
trade of moulder and worked at it for
years in the Badger state. In 1888 he
was married to Miss Lille George, a
native of the state of Wisconsin,
daughter of Mrs. Henrietta George.
The aged mother resides with another
daughter, Mrs. Emma Green, a quar-
ter mile down the II y of Cherry
creek. In 1904 Mr.. Meitzenheimer
came to Pocatello, and later lived for
a year in the state Of Washington. In
1905 he returned to Wisconsin and
brought his family to Idaho and in
1910 he took up the homestead which
is now the abode Of the family. The
first crop put in on the new land pro-
duced oats that grew nearly six feet
high, the tallest grain ever grown on
the ranch. There vas no moving ma
chine in the neighborhood at the time
and Mrs. Meitzenheimer relates that
her husband went at it with a scythe
and came home after every shift so
tired out from whacking away at the
stuff that he was perfectly willing to
miss his supper in order to get to
sleep.
This rancher, too, is aware of the
extreme danger besetting the farmers
of this section in the spreading of the
growth of weeds, and he condemns the
practice of letting homesteads lie va
cant while the owners are holding
them for speculation. He says that
these owners should be compelled to
have the soil titled or at the very least
be compelled to cut and destroy the
weeds. He hopes that the new weed
law will take care of the owners OF
land in the Crystal section who aban-
don their places and are commonly
referred to as the weed farmers"
Mr.. M%eitzenheimer and his family
like Idaho and are here to stay. This
fall a new modern farm dwelling will
be erected and other Improvements
made, and the aim is to make this a
model ranch.

CHERRY CREEK DAIRY RANCH.
Crystal Farmer Working Toward
Dairying As Principal Industry.

On Cherry creek, at a point three
miles east of Crystal, Jacob ]. Meitzen-
heimer conducts a ranch of $50 acres,
of which so acres are in cultivation.
The dairy business has always re-
ceived particular attention and that
is why the farm has been named The
Cherry Greek Dairy Ranch" Clearing
and breaking of land is going on all
the time and next year will see close
to 100 acres in cultivation. Grain and
hay are the principal products. This
year % acres are in Marquis wheat
and IA acres in oats, the balance Of
the cultivated area being in grain hay
and garden. This is the first trial of
Marquis wheat on this ranch and it is
giving satisfactory results despite the
late seeding and dry m Mr..
Meitzenheimer says he will continue
the growing of this variety.
The soil on this ranch is the famed
black mountain loan and although the
land is at an altitude of nearly 5000
feet and the seasons short, grain and
the harder garden products grow we'll.
Everything is raised by dry farm
methods, except a portion of the gar
den irrigated from the creek; like on
all other ranches in this mountain dis
trict, however, su~b-irrigation from
the numerous small streams is a dis
tinct factor to be taken into consider
alton.
This homestead was filed on in
October, 1910, and from the beginning
of its cultivation has given good re-
turns. From IA acres of Turkey Red
wheat nearly 300 bushels were thresh-
ed, and this was done in a year when
the spring opened late and not much
rain fell. This year the oats grown
here will be threshed for grain and
seed, heretofore having been cut for
hay.
PlOws Eight Inches Deep.
Mr.. Meitzenheimer prefers to pillow
in the fall for spring seeding, and he
plows eight inches deep. The land
is left in the rough until the opening
of the spring season and then har-
rowed twice. If the ground hardens
after the seed is put in he goes over it
.again with the harrow; if the ground
after seeding is soft and mulchy it does
not need narrowing, says Mr.. Meitzen-
heimer, and besides in soft ground the
udnSeT IS present ludI the grain mlSnJ
be torn up by the harrow. If the
ground is plowed in the spring it
should be rolled after seeding i'll order
to create the mulch necessary to the
conservation of moisture. This black
mountain loan dries quickly on the
uplands away from the creeks and
small streams and it is absolutely
necessary to have a mulch on the sur
face if the grain is to get the moisture
needed for its growth. Rotation OF
crops is practiced on this ranch, the
owner insisting that growing the same
cereal on the land in consecutive sea-
sons will impoverish even the black
loan in the course of a few years. He
rOtates wheat, barley and oats, and
sometimes grows potatoes on grain
lands.
VIII Increase Corn Acreage.
On the top of one of the hills of this
ranch Yellow Dent corn was planted
the second week in June of this year
and it produced fine roasting ears and
plenty of fodder, reaching a height Of

lists, but Navy Hopes 1t
May Not Be Employed

Washington. March 5.-Further ac-
ton BY President Wilson in the Ger
man situation was postponed to-day
pending decision b. his legal ad-
visers whether he has power to arm
American merchantmen in spite OF the
failure of Congress to pass resolu-
tion comforting such authority.
The President has been inclined to
believe that certain old statutes still
in force might prevent him from fur
nishing guns to merchantmen, but
some of his advisers hold that a broad
or and truer Interpretation Of these
laws will show that they have no ap-
plication to the present situation.
Il is understood here that Attorney
General Gregory has decided that his
assistants were correct and the Presl-
dent has a right 20 order the srming
Of ships whenever he wishes.
The question will be considered at to-
morrow's Cabinet meeting the first TO
be held in the new Administration. The
Inauguration ceremonies occupied most
Of the time to-day, but members OF the
Cabinet and other officials found op-
portunity TO discuss the subject. a de-
termination TO arm the merchantmen
il legal way 10 do so can be found
was generally apparent.
While the arming of merchantmen IS
the step most considered, it is pointed
ont that the President has the right to
convoy American vessels. This course
has been opposed by the Navy Depart
ment however. principally for strategi-
cal reasons.
Another step suggested IS that the
shipping board take over American
merchantmen. arm them as naval suxlI-
iaries. and send them abroad
