| IDAHO MAY BE CUT
INTO TWO STATES
Joint House Resolution Defines
Boundaries; Gives Reasons

A joint resolution, signed by 36
members of the house of representa-
tives, proposing the division Of Ida
no into two states, was presented on
the floor of the house February g.,
and ordered printed. The resolution
grants permission to the national
congress to create a new state from
the north portion of the State Of Ida
no, and will If passed, give authority
for constitutional convention to be
held at the state university at Mos
COW, at which delegates from every
county Of the proposed new state will
meet to formulate constitution to
be submitted to the electors for their
approval or rejection.
Gallia Est Divisa
The first three words of Caesars
commentaries on his Gallo cam
paigns, the great classic on tactics
we'll hated by high school sopho-
mores, might we'll have introduced
the reasons set forth in this bill for
separation of the north and south
parts of the state. Idaho Is divid-
ed'' into two parts, and the barriers
are mountains, canyons and national
forests that would prevent the people
from growing together for a long
time, and even stand in the way OF
railroad or highway communication.
south of this natural divide are great
areas of grazing land ana arid
stretches that only lend themselves
to dry farming and irrigation. North
of the divide mining and numbering
are the industries, and there Is sufti-
cient rainfall for what lands are used
agriculturally. The two parts are
different in character and require
different legislation. Contention has
been the inevitable result of their
union. In the north is the state uni
versity, in the south the capital; and
the folks from the opposite sides
have to travel thru neighboring
states to reach either.
The Two Populations
North Idaho, which would COM
prise the new state, has popula-
ton of 10000, and an area of 3d.
500 square miles. It's assessed valua-
ton is S160,O00,00O. The popula-
ton of the south is 225,OOO, the
area 48,28S equare miles, and the
taxable property $240,OOO,O0O. This
leaves a sufficient population, valua-
ton and area to each section as an
independent state.
Division Line
The line commences at the Snake
river between townships 9 and 10
north Of the Boise base line and runs
straight east to the watershed be-
tween the Salmon and Snake rivers,
then follows the divide in an easterly
direction to the Montana line. This
would cut thru Gem, Boise, Custer
and Lemhi counties, all nearly in the
center, excepting Lemhi, which is
mostly in the north part.

STOCK RAISING HoMEsTEADs
Recent Circular Regarding Entry

Circular No. 523, issued by the
Department of the Interior on JAN
uary 81 aims to supply all the in
formation asked for in the thousands
OF letters that have been coming to
the local land Offices, about 640-acre
grazing homestead lands to be desig-
mated. The following is a brief &C.
count of the features of this circular:

WAR MACHINE TO
BLIND THE ENEMY

A war machine which can blind
the enemy at a distance of mile is
said to have been perfected oy Ger
man scientists, according to reports
in Teutonic circles.
Rays of light are thrown from q
disc 20 feet in diameter, focusing to
a diameter of two feet when they
strike the objective, causing the optic
nerve to be shattered, the report
says. Eighteen German scientists are
reported to have been blinded in per-
fecting the instrument.

Lands Subject
Kind Of Land

The lands to be designated must
be of a surface which in the opinion
fthe secretary of the interior makes
them chiefly valuable for grazing and
raising forage crops; they must not
contain merchantable timber; must
be unirrigable, and of such nature
that $40 acres are required to sup
port a family. Lands which the Sec
rotary thinks capable OF producing
valuable crops of grain, food cereal
!. or fruit will not be designated. Lands
6too arid for grazing will not be
designated No tract will be desig-
mated which contains water hole
or other body of water needed for
public use. When the department
designates tract of land as not too
poor to support family it does not
at the same time guarantee that 1t
will. That is up to the homesteader.
Qualifications
Any person, roughly. who Is quail
fed under the general laws to make
homestead entry Chat is, who has
not exercised his right, or who is
entitled to restoration Of his right
under general provisions of law may
make a stock-raising homestead
entry for not exceeding $40 acres of
unappropriated, surveyed land, in
reasonably compact form, which has
been designated by the secretary, is
qualified under this act.
Compactness
No entry shall entirely surround
an unappropriated tract of public

Importance Of Seed Selection.
One Of the next most important
things after fall stalk destruction, is
careful seed selection, about which the
department has already given advice
in tie state press The use of good
seed, and of pedigreed seed where OBJ
tainable and the destruction of stalks
in the fall, are the two most import
ant items in boil Wceyil control. Every
farmer should be assured as to the
quality of his seed for next season.
Any who are interested should write
to the Georgia State Board of Ento-
mology, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga,
for bulletin No. as on seed varieties,
and NO AZ on controlling the boil
weevil. These will be of material help.

Atlanta, September Especially
Pick out all your cotton and destroy
all stalks, if possible, at least thirty
days before the first killing frost,
urges the Georgia State Board of En-
tomology; for only in this way can
the rayages of the Mexican cotton boil
weevil be effectualy checked in the
coming season.
Stalk destruction should be begun
by October 18th and pushed just
as rapidly as possible; for it is the most
important single thing that can be done
in effectively fighting the weevil, says
State Entomologist e, Lee Worsham.
Proven BY Results
Results this year show Mr.. Wor-
sham states, that where stalks were
destroyed early last fall, and whero
other instructions were followed in the
spring, growers made a good crop OF
cotton in spite of the boil weevil.
