THE RIGHT WAY TO TELEPHONE

In order to get the best results
when telephoning do not humble the
number to the operator, do not be
inattentive to her repetition, do not
talk at your telephone without regard
to its distance from the lips.
The right way is to give the number
to the operator clearly and distinctly
to listen to her repetition of the num-
Der and acknowledge it, and then talk
directly into the telephone with your
lips close to the transmitter, giving
your whole attention to the telephone
conversation.
Telephoning in the right way helps
make the service more efficient.

THE SPRINGFIELD COUNTRY
(Ry G. A. Line.l

by W. a. AlAC.J
Springfield is becoming noted as
an alfalfa seed producing section.
This place seems to possess all the
natural advantages necessary for the
production of high grade seed, name
". altitude, short, warm growing sea-
son. good drainage with almost per-
feet weather during the harvesting
season. These advantages with the
special care the seed growers give
their farms in the matter OF cultlva-
ton and keeping them free from
noxious weeds, produce seed high in
termination and purity, and near
perfect in color.
The alfalfa seed from this locality
has won prizes wherever exhibited,
all first prizes at state seed shows
since the seed growers association
has been organized five years ago,
also at the Corn Show, Dallas, Texas,
and three prizes at the worlds fair
at San Francisco.
Expert seed buyers and county
agents from the central states pay
the very highest tribute to the seed
grown here and generally pay above
the uldTh6J pIlCC lol CAAAS oSoN'
Especially is this true of the county
agents who are in the market to
secure the best seed possible for their
farmers. :,
The Grimm, the more hardy and
prolific variety was introduced into
Idaho by one Of our progressive and
far seeing local seed growers, ii. X.
Wiley. The seed from this variety
is in great demand, readily selling
at 35 cents per pound at threshing
time. Some of the growers have
contracted their seed for ten years
in advance and some record yields
have produced $3.50 to $500. and as S
high as $500 per acre. Figuring land
values at it's original cost, 5000 per
acre with water, would take a
Bethlehem Steel corporation dividend
to equal the returns on the invest
ment, The total acreage in bearing
last season was near 5000 acres and
about 1000 acres more will be plant
ed this year.

MEETING AT PINGREE

The commercial club Of Pingree
held a meeting Saturday evening and
planned some work for making a
bigger and better Pingree. Another
meeting is announced for SATURDAY
evening, the twenty-first of April, at
which there will be some sort OF re-
freshments and the whole club mem
bership and perhaps their families,
we are not informed as to that.
The people of the Pingree country
are Justly proud Of the territory and
its resources. Everybody who settles
there and works and plans for bet
ter things gets them. The town was
laid out at the turn of the canal
where there were some lava rocks,
and there are some lava groupings
on the townsite. This gives the op-
portunity for the folks who are dis
posed to ridicule the place, to men
tion the rocks in contrast with ag-
riculture, but the soil for miles
around is rich and fine, and abundant
crops are grown.
A year or so. ago the community
succeeded in getting a bridge built
over the canal to connect with the
settlement beyond, and just now they
are arranging for another one nearly
opposite the beet dump and switch
at Virden. The lack OF roads and
bridges has been severely felt, and
as these things are overcome the
wealth of the community develops
faster.

BLACKFOOT RANCHER
WINS SWEEPSTAKES

F. A. Starkweather won first,
second and sweepsteaks on his Duroc
Jersey hogs at the stock show In
Salt Lake the last of the week. He
took first and sweepsteaks on the
Shropshire lambs also. That is some
record to make when it is taken into
consideration that the other shippers
were from points east and. had fed
their stock for this show. The
Judges were from Denver and
Omaha. The hogs sold for $3.50
per hundred and the lambs brought
$23.75.
Mr.. StarkWeather had car OF
steers also which brought the highest
price of any carload lot in the show.
While he was not awarded first prize
on them it was a good showing to
have them bring the most cash. He
rents his ranch and lives in Salt Lake
but the stock is raised in this COM
munity and speaks we'll for the work
being done in the county.

FARMERS MEETING SATURDAY

The farmers met at the Isis
theatre Saturday afternoon and w.
G.. Scholtz was present and spoke to
them. James Pendlebury presided
over the meeting and introduced Mr..
Scholtz.
Mr.. Pendlebury said the farmers
had received more for everything
they raised since the creation of the
farm market department than ever
before and the office should be nom
partisan. He said that Peter G..
Johnson had fought against the bills
the farmers had wanted until he was
informed that the farmers demanded
him to work for their passage then
he did.
When w. G.. Scholtz was intro
duced he remarked that he was en-
barrassed in coming to speak at
Blackfoot and did not wish to make
any personal attack on his successor,
then proceeded to tell the gathering
he could not see how his successor
could accept the office with a clear
conscience. After reiterating many
of the charges previously made
against the governor he told of his
life in the past 20 years. He was
employed in an elevator office and
found out how he thought they
cheated the farmer, he was secretary
to the general manager of a railroad
and got such information as he con-
sdered was wrong towards the farm
er, lived on the King Hill project
three years and when he had hay to
sell got S. per ton for 1t. When he
had to buy paid SIG. He went to
Boise and started farm paper and
was appointed to the office of farm
markets for one term which would
have ended next month. He said he
belonged tono political party but
he urged state ownership OF eleVa-
tors, packing plants and creameries.
He said he had brought pressure to
bear and caused the raise on farm
products. When asked by farmer
why the farm market could not sell
the farmers hay this spring for less
than the dealer could, he said he did
not know but when, he was in office
there was no $25 hay.
He spent good deaf of the time
the last winter trying to organize
the farmers of Oklahoma and getting
bill passed for farm market de-
partment in that state. He admitted
that the governor had sent out cir
culars urging the farmer who had
hay to sell not to sell outside the
state but to consumers in his neigh
borhoOd.
After Mr.. Scholtz~ sat down Mr..
Pendlebury scored the different po-
litical parties and urged the farmers
to form non-partisan league. Ii
the farmers want the men from
North Dakota to come in and or
ganize them into non-partisan
league they will do so. They started
out on the basis of Sc a year for
the formation of the league in that
state but soon raised it to SO as they
found so many willing to give to the
cause. Now they want to organize
Colorado and Idaho. From the way
Mr.. Pendlebury spoke he evidently
thinks no paper will print the truth
but the Non-Partisan Leader which
Mr.. Scholtz will have charge of. He
urged the building of sugar fac
tory so that the farmer would not
have to pay so much for the sugar
and get more for his beets. He
charged B. Harvey Alfred with being
in league with the spectators OF
Blackfoot on the price of farm prod

HOW TO PREPARE SEED BED
TO GROW MORE SUGAR BETS
BY Mark Austin, Agricultural
Superintendent.

OApCi
Some of our farmers are worrying
about the lateness Of the season. The
soils are thoroly saturated with mois-
ture, and abundance of snow is in
the mountains which assures us
plenty of water for irrigation.
No doubt most of our farmers are
aware that with the soil in good con-
dition and with thoro deep surface
working of the soil it will give good
crops; when the season for planting
has arrived the land can be planted
just as soon as prepared and not
allowed to dry out. Many times
when the springs open up early the
soils dry out before the time for
planting beets arrives.
If the farmers will watch their
soil carefully and get it worked
down to good seed bed making a
mulch on top, being careful not to
lose the moisture while working it,
there is not an acre of land anywhere
in the state but what will bring the
beets up, il weather conditions are
at all favorable. . M a.
Beets should be planted just as
soon as the seed bed is prepared, if
the weather conditions will permit,
the soil being in good condition the
crop will be practically as early as
usual. If all the work is properly
done, the season favorable, we ought
to get an abundant yield. Now that
the sugar company is paying seven
dollars for beets, land that will pro-
duce even 10 tons per acre will be
profitable and most of the grain land
will do that Of course, beet, potato
and corn land are preferable.
If grain land is to be used it
should be thoroly gone over with a
disc harrow just as soon as it. is dry
enough, cutting the stubbles to pieces
and mixing it with little of the
surface soil, then the stubble will go
to the bottom of the furrow when
it is plowed, and better seed bed
will be secured and a larger produce
ton.
We would like to urge upon our
growers the proper preparation of
the soil and seeding just as soon as
the weather and soil conditions will
permit
We are very glad to note that a
number of our beet growers are busy
now preparing their seed bed.

A GREAT WHEAT SHORTAGE

. There was shortage in the world
wheat crop last year and the year
before and the estimates for this year
place it at about two hundred and
fifty million bushels, and the destruc-
ton and consumption by the armies
is still going on. Under these con-
ditions it seems impossible that
wheat prices should do anything but
soar.
The dry farmers on the foot hills
and in the desert should not hesitate
to produce all the wheat they can
and to garner carefully every bushel
possible. There have been times
when the dry farmer left the wheat
on the field, when the straw was
short and the yield poor, but the in
dications are that this year he can
almost afford to harvest it with the
scissors.
