100000 TO HARVEST
CROPS OF FIVE STATES

ST. PAUL. - Representatives Of
commercial organizations from Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Montana and

ed from the statement. that the
farmers in Montana and the Dakotas
ire not planting the fullest acreage

STATE LAND BOARD
TO OPEN CAMPAIGN
FOR GREATER CROP,
Preparedness Measures to be Adopt
ed to Induce the Cultivation Of
all States Tillable Lands

The state land department opened|
a vigorous campaign this week to in
tensify crop production and stock
raising on state agricultural and
STOCK lands in every county in Idaho.
The propaganda is in line with the
preparedness program that is stir
ring the nation and the object is to
bring about a marked increase of
products and stock from Idaho in
1917. Special display poster notices
nave been issued and will be placard-
ed all over the state by the agents
OF the department, deputies Of the
state fish and game department, rep
resentatives of the agricultural ex-
tension department, state farm mar
ket bureau, county assessors and
agents of the railroads, and the
banks
Maps Prepared
In order that available state lands
for sale or lease may become more
generally known maps of each coun-
ty have been prepared. They show
in yellow the vacant state lands
available, where they are located.
Each county assessor will have the
maps together with proper form ap-
plications to be used by those desir-
ing to secure the land for planting
or grazing purposes this year. The
people in the various counties are
better qualified to determine the
state lands they can use in doing
their bit towards increasing crop
production. When they ascertain the
lands that are vacant they can i'm
mediately make application. This is
the first time the land department
has had the state lands in the vari-
GUS counties separately outlined so
that every one can find out just what
lands can be secured.
To Use the Screen
Arrangements will be made with
the motion picture houses over the
state to throw on the canvas as dup=
LEGATION of the following poster that
has been issued by the department
calling attention to the necessity of
making use of state lands:

Your country needs more food.
Cultivate the vacant land in your
