College Park, Nd, Jan 1.-The
Agricultural Extension Service, through
it's orchard specialist, 8. B. Shaw. is
carrying on an extended series OF
orchard demonstrations in pruning
and spraying in cooperation with
county denomination agents. The
arousing OF interest In the possibilities
for profit in home and commercial
orchards during the year past has bsen
an interesting and profitable feature
Of extension work. In this connection
e most interesting report Of what can
be done under average conditions is
reported by County Agent John McGill,
Jr.. OF Ailegany. Mr. McGill says,
definite work was carried on this
year with six orchards. One Of these,
an orchard Of 500 peach trees and go
apple trees. on limestone soil, was
selected as q permanent demonstrar
tion. comparatively with Mr.. S. B.
Shaw. Of the State College Of Agricul-
ture. This orchard had been somewhat
neglected A large number Of the
peach trees had been killed by borerers
and many others seriously injured BY
them. Both peach and apple trees
we're In much need Of pruning. Up to
1915 the apples had not borne. In
1912 the only year the peaches had
borne. they set full crop, yet out Of
200 bushels Of late peaches only -four
bushels valued at 81 were harvested.
Brown rot took practically all OF them,
and those saved were very small in
size, as no thinning was done. Ths
grower had sprayed. but had gotten
no results from It This year he agreed
TO follow our instructions, keeping cost
and receipt records. which were as fol

orchard this year were not large they
are the largest the grower has had yet.
although due to frost there was only
fifth crop of peaches. Mr.. Shaw and
visited this orchard q number Of
times and hsld pruning and spraying

having no agitator on the spray pump
was probably the cause of past fail

reports ss per cent. protection against
brown rot, codling moth and other

Arrangements are being made
to hold a ball and reception in

from Benewah county for service
in the national army. The affair
will be held in the near future at

requested that the citizens of
Idaho make this an occasion to
display their appreciation of the
men who have been called and
this dance and reception will be
part of the efforts of the citizens
of st. Maries along this line.
The dance will be one of the larg-
est affairs ever held in the city

made by the band to accompany
them to the train.

SIX MEMBERS :. w. w.
ARE BOUND OVER

Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced by Probate Judge
Charles G. Cromwell Monday in
trying to hold a preliminary eX-
animation for the six members
of the I. w. w. arrested at Santa
last Wednesday. The men are
all foreigners, natives of Finland,
and claimed entire ignorance of
the English language. An inter
prefer was finally secured who
attempted to explain the pro-
ceedings to the prisoners. After
some little effort on the part of
the Interpreter one of the pris-
oners forgot his ignorance of
English and informed Judge
Cromwell they could understand
his questions and instructions
better than those of the inter
prefer. The defendants ther
waived their preliminary examin-
alton and were bound over to the
district court under bonds Of
S25OO each.

PRICE OF BUTTER FAT
CONTINUES TO SOAR

Manager P. E. Newport of the
Benewah Creamery states that
the price of butter-fat is on the
upward trend and the top is not
yet reached. The local creamery
is now paying 46 cents per pound
for butter-fat and Mr.. Newport
states he believes it will go to
65 cents before spring. The
highest price that has ever been
paid in this section heretofore is
n cents. With this prospect in
view it will pay the farmers to
hold their herds and If possible
to increase them, rather than
dispose of them as some con-
template doing on account Of the
high cost Of feed.

he is rushing his stock on to the
market in poor condition and in
large numbers. This situation is
injuring the market to the extent
that prices of beef are being
forced down to meet the condi-
tions. The storage houses con-
tain but a small amount of beef
or dairy products. This indicates
that the price must come up to
meet the conditions"
He offers this advice to the
farmers:
"If you must sell some stock,
Gull your herd and keep the best
breeding stock that will give you
"a foundation herd. Think of the
coming conditions, if the feed
situation is reversed next year;
a big production with a scarcity
of stock; then there will be a
|clamor for stock TO consume
cheap feed. There is a world
shortage of beef and dairy prod
ucts. Base your plans on a
period of several years, not one
year. The farmer that holds his
COWS now will reap the profit
next year,

IDAHO FIRST STATE
TO GATHER DATA

Idaho is one of the first states
in the union to gather all Of the
data required by the war and
other government departments
showing the resources of the
state. The officials of the Gem
state were therefore highly COM
plimented by Captain II. C.. Boy
den, engineering corps, U. S. A.,
i'm charge Of the military infor-
nation division of the western
department, who is now in Boise.
The state was divided into
Quadrangles to get the data de-
sired. This data gives the crop
condition as we'll as showing the
yields in various crops, the popu-
lation, the mineral, power and
other resources; locates the riv-
ers and lakes, the various camp
sites available for military pur-
poses and otherwise checks up on
ali valuable information in con-
Injection with the state which the
government may at any time be
in need of. Through co-opera-
ton with the state departments,
particularly the game department
where all the deputy state game
wardens were used, it has been
possible to get all data regarding
the various quadrangles which is
now being summarized and COM
lpiled. This data will then be
officially reported to the war de-
Ipartment.
Captain Boyden especially
thanked the state officials for
their prompt response to the re-
quest of the government. He told
them that Idaho is one of a few
states that acted Immediately
upon request and laid its plans
to gather the data, thereby getting
an early start ahead of many
other states.
