Heat is the elicf essential for plant
growth, and one Of the principal fac.
tors IN making soil warm is good
drainage. The surface soils Of well
drained lands are almost invariably
several degrees warmer than those Of
poorly drained lands. Drained soils also
warm up faster after cold spells and
much earlier in spring II is certain
that dynamiting heavy soils will pay.

A LUXURY YESTERDAY,
a NECESSITY TODAY.

We hear much these days of the
high cost of living. Occasionally ccm
plants reach this office that it IS al
so expensive TO die. Bills, augmented
apparently to the limit, reach us
with unYarying regularity. We pay
more for our beefsteak tn Sc days
Even our biscuits share in this add
| ed cost, while the once familiar, but
now aristocratic potato has a price
jail Of it's own and dwells in gusta-
tory realms alone. Our shoes have
passed out of the reach of ordinary
mortals and even neckties have ex-
pensive leanings. We can mo long r
deny the reality of the mat er and
cost is no more an imagination of
mortal mind
Much if this added expense of exis-
tence is due to the fact that most Of
the luXuries of yesterday have BE-
come the very necessities of today.
A few years ago even the priyil ge
of an auto ride with some dec7nd-
ant of Croesus was an event long
to be remembered. Today most of
us must have an automobile or a
Ford. A few years ago, telephon~ S
were the monopoly of OCCASIONAL
men and business houses. Today thsy
are both a business ard so ial eco
uomy. A score of years ago the else
rio bulb was a thing of interest. To-
day it is indispensable to pers -nal
comfort. Half a generation ago a
daily paper was not nece ssary { o our
happiness and many OF us were salts
fled to send or drive several mil S
to the post office for orr weekly
mail Today the special carrier Lrin s
the daily newspaper to the breakfast
table and the postman delivers the
daily mail to most rural sections.
We live in an age of luxuri s. We
enjoy them. They are absolutely es-
sential to the personal comfort of
the humblest of US. Let us not com
plain if society insists that we she'll
pay our share of the running exp u
SEES of the city or neighborhcod in
which we live.
If we desire to cheaper the cost
of living, let us return to the simple
life and thereby increase our happi-
ness and prolong our earthly pill
grimage.

WE SHOULD SMILE.

The thing that goes the farthest
toward making life worth while that
costs the least and does the most, is
just a pleasant smile-the smile that
bubbles from the heart that loves its
fellowmen, Will drive away the cloud
of gloom and coax the sun again.
It's full of worth and goodness too,
with manly kindness blent; it's worti
a million dollars and It doesn't cost
cent There is no room for sadness
when we see CHEEKY smile. 1t
always has the same good look it's
never out Of style; 1t nerves us on
to try again when failure makes us
blue-such dimples of encouragement
are good for you and me. SO smile
away; folks understand what by a
smile is meant, it's worth a million
dollars and it doesn't cost cent
All That Is Necessary.

MAKING FUEL OF GARBAGE

The city of Austin, Texas, is en-
gagged in the new enterprise of con
verting garbage into fuel The gar
bage is gathered as in other nun eli
palities and is then pulverized, d.
odorized and disinfected. This mass
is then mixed with coal dust, tar OF
asphalt and pressed into two-pound
bricks. These are dried and cons l.
tute high grade fuel which gives
off fifty per cent more heat units
than oak wood. The advantages OF
such method of disposing of gar
bage are numerous. A menace to the
health of the city is removed. Need
ed fuel is provided. Waste material
is converted into enc of the necessi-
ties of life. 1t is to be hoped that
many ether cities may adopt the
same means of handling their garb-
age. How much that is apparen ly
valueless in life may be turn d in o
channels of the largest possible us :

THE POTATO.

The potato is the worlds second
greatest food crop. It's Importance in
! the United States is small at pres
emit as compared with Europe in
fact, we OF this country have in
the past been meat eaters; the peo-
pie of Europe are potato eaters. Eco
Inomically, however, we are rspidly
approaching the condition that has
given the potato such great import
ance in the old world; that is, VIII re
in the past meat was rlen iful and
cheap in this country, it is now
high priced, with but scant prospect
of it's ever becoming cheap again.
Hence, as the price of meat advances
We must expect a CORE spending in
crease in the consumption of the
cheaper foods
The potato is grown in every S ate
of the Union, yet the main crop is
produced for market in a few of he
northern states only. If We st~dy the
potato industry, we will find a
great difference in yield per acre,
cost Of production and quantity Of
the output in the diffe rent states.
Idaho's position stands well toward
the head in this analysis, par i"ular-
~ as to high yields, cost of produc
tion per acre, and quality. The po-
tato of the eastern stats is produc-
ed only at the expense of large guam
titles of high priced, commercial fer
filters, which are not need"d in Ida
no. Diseases and insect pcss make
expensive spraying necessary in
those states-anCther item not in
the list of the Idaho growers ex-
pense bill. Soils, rinch' in the min
eral elements Of fertility, con-
genial climate, and almost cons ont
sunshine during the growing ason,
the Idaho grower a con4rCl of the
crop that almost insures a high aver
age production.
Only High Yields and
Good Quality Pay.
On the other hand, Idsho's geo.
graphical position is such that the
crop must be hauled long way to
get into the great potato markets of
the country. This does not mean
that Idaho cannot profit ably produce
potatoes for outside markets. or
compete with other states in these
markets, but it does mean that good
quality potatoes only must be grown
and shipped to the distant markets,
ii We are to maintain and develop
the industry. Dirt, culls, cut CT bruis-
ed potatoes, or potatoes Of und sir
able variety, are AN economic vase
when hauled to distant markets Bring
ing profit to no one, except posi-
bly, the railroads, and they would
prefer not to haul them.
