n 'cORDING to estimates made
~ by a prominent New Plymouth
business man the returns to
the farmers of this district
amounted to fully 100000 for
the year 1916. This figure is consid-
cred quite conservative. Ii is for grain,
hay livestock dairy and poultry prod
ucts, etc. This is said to be by odds
the largest return the farmers here
ever had for farm products. livestock,
etc, in any one year.
For the first time in the history OF
New Plymouth grain vas shipped
from here in carload lots. Louis
Wachter, the local grain buyer of this
place, stated that eight carloads of
grain were shipped from here in 1916.
Six of the cars We're wheat, averaging
10000 pounds per car, and two carloads
of oats averaging 10000 pounds each.
This represents about $500 worth Of
grain.
POULTRY SHIPMENTS.
A conservative estimate places the
poultry shipments from here in 1916
at $4,000.
There is an ever increasing interest
taken by the farmers in dairying New
Plymouth has the pioneer cheese fact
DRY of this state, and it is still doing Il
good business. There are two cream
receiving stations here. j. W. Phillips,
local agent for the Damascus cream
cry Of Portland, stated that this com
pany paid out about $4,000 to the
farmers here for cream in 1916.
That business conditions In New
Plymouth are prosperous is in meas
ure reflected by the banking business
here. The deposits of the bank on
Dec. 81, 1915, were s61,124.2a, while on
Dec. 81. 1916, they were s74,3b4.45. This
increase came Notwithstanding the
complete fruit failure here last year.
The farmers have learned the yalua BILE
lesson of growing diversified crops
There is a confident feeling here that
the present year of 1917 will be the
most prosperous twelve months in the
history of this part OF the famous Pay
cite valley.

Plymouth farmers did in 1916 is here

was its pronounced building activity.

of more than $4,000 We're erected. In
addition to this, a large annex has
been erected to the commodious build

President Wilson, his committees

and pleading with the people of the
United States through the newspap-

ing the production and conservation
Of foodstuffs. People in general are
responding to the call but it is GER
tainly discouraging to plant a garden
and have someone's chickens come
along and scratch it out.
Chickens are all right in their place
and mighty good to own these days
but should not be allowed a menace
to the public. We have tried in a
kindly way to caution the people
against this injustice. 1t is contrary
to the city ordinance and if it con-
tinues complaint should be made to
the proper city authorities and stop
put to it.
It. is unpatriotic to allow chickens
to run at large in the city limits

GRADED SCHOOL NEWS

The Seventh and Eighth grades
went on their annual picnic to 7Arka-
Ion Saturday. Lots 10 eat and plenty
of fun. The girls took sandwiches,
pickles, cookies, deviled eggs and
fruit. The boys carried supply of
"weenies" and buns. Mr.. Edison gave
the crowd a treat of five-gallon
can of ice cream. We sure enjoyed
the cream, and just as much do we
appreciate Mr.. Eidson's' kindness.
Guy Miller and Dorton Forbes met
the crowd at Arkalon with hay rack
and helped over to the grove. Soon
after the crowd left the grove for the
depot. Here comes the freight con
time" but Conductor Wagner is an
unusual conductor and he waited as
minutes for the crowd to get to the
train. Well, Conductor Wagner is
all right, too. Mr.. and Mrs. Forbes
have our thanks. Not many folks
would be so generous with their
grove and river. They seem to want
US to have a good time. We believe
they know how we youngsters enjoy
their grove and the river. Out of the

That little game Of "duck off"
seemed to get hold on some of the
