SAVE THE POTATO SACKS.
BY E. r. Bennett, Field HorticuIturist.

have steadily advanced in price till the
price is now becoming practically pro-
hibitivc.
What do you do with empty sacks?
The larger part of the potato crop is
delivered to the western consumer in
the sack. Most of these sacks are
never used again. If the sack of po-
tatoes is placed on dirt floor and re-
mains there for any considerable
length of time, the sack rots and is
useless. Likewise if frozen or decayed
potatoes remain in the sack it will soon
be spoiled for further use.
We are asked to help win the war
by practicing economy. Save wheat!
Save sugar! Save meat! Why not
also help the farmer by saving the po-
tato sacks? When the supply of pota-
toes is purchased 1t is much better
for the potatoes If they are emptied out
of the sacks either in a pile on the
cellar floor or in a bin made for that
purpose in a dark room. Then the
sacks should be hung in a dry place
or be sold to dealers in such supplies.
Children in any neighborhood can earn
many dime by collecting the potato
sacks and selling them either to deal
ers or to the growers. Sacks are be-
coming harder to get and hence high
| er in price. Save the sacks-it will
| help the farmers.

MANY INQUIRIES RECEIVED.

The premium catalogues Of the as
ISOLATION were ready for mailing on
Dec. 1, and the secretary announces
that inquiries have been handled from
all Pacific northwest states. Advance
reports indicate strong entries from
Utah, oregon, Montana and Washing
ton. North Idaho will probably be rep
resented at the coming show for the
first time in it's history. If cores
pendence is any indication southern
Idaho will respond nobly. The usual
entries from the Boise and Payette
valleys are assured.
Better than 100 Silver Wyandotte
entries are promised from members OF
northwestern states district of the Sill
yer Wyandotte Club of America This
is due to the fact that the second an
nual exhibition of the club will be held
in connection with the Boise show this
season. The club through it's various
state agents and its vice president,
Campbell w. Bushnell, box $13. Kenne-
wick, Washington, is offering club
members numerous added prizes aside
from the regular cash premiums Of
fered by the Idaho State Poultry &
Pet Stock association.
In the poultry department besides
the regular cash premiums which will
be paid during the show week, numer-
Gus trophy cups and other special pre-
NUNS will be offered. Those inter.

All people having chickens, turkeys.

in accordance. For be it understood,
the State Poultry and Pet Stock as
ISOLATION has secured the Kielson
building on Idaho street between Ninth
and Tenth streets for the holding of
its ninth annual poultry show. January
Z to IL inclusive. The building in ques-
ton could not be better arranged for
the holding of the big show had it
been built especially for the occasion.
1t was in this structure that the sue
cessful sixth annual exhibition of the
association was staged.
While it is true, prior to last Sep
TENDER there was a falling off in
poultry raising in southern Idaho ow
ing to the high cost of grain, when
the call was issued by the government
for more poultry to take the place of
red meat, Idaho farmers began to help
out by building up poultry flbcks. In
any event, when it came time to raise
funds for the holding of the coming
show the committee in charge secured
from Boise business interests in cash,
exchange and for advertising for its
1918 premium catalog, s6i3.00.
In other words, Notwithstanding the
fact that taxes and other war expenses
confront Boise almost daily, the bus
mess interests of this city recognized
the fact that one of the best educators
for more and badly needed Increase is
the annual poultry show.
The premium catalog issued by the
association this year is one of the
largest issued in the United States
this year 1t contains As pages and
cover and besides carries an eight page
supplement added by the Recently or
ganized rabbit association.

lin view Of statements in Washing

to carry a warning to Germany that
unbridled resumption OF submarine

neutrality by breaking off diplomatic
relations with Germany, the above
dispatch is significant. 1t is the first
hint from Germany that this implied
warning in the Wilson note has been
discovered there.
Heretofore all German dispatches
have reflected the German view that
Wilson was simply animated by de
