The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-01-18

The Caldwell and Twin Falls districts
were about even in honors on red
clover but Twin Falls tract was ahead
on alsike. while Caldwell won out
on white. Parma and Caldwell took
all honors on corn. Twin Falls and
Idaho Falls ran neck and neck on
potatoes, the former also won oIt
on peas. Had the Twin Falls tract
sent larger number Of exhibits they
would doubtless have made a much
better showing. NJ A. Thometz of
Twin Falls and L. c. Otto of Filler
carried off all honors for this dis
trict on potatoes.
In the convention sessions there
were some exceptional addresses.
That of Fred Merrill, dairy expert.

helpful and of exceptional value. Dr.
w. A. Sullivan spoke on hog dis
eases with special reference to chol-
era.
Representatives of the Idaho Honey
Producers association were present al
the meeting and presented a request
that they too might be included in the
cooperative relationships that were

this whole matter will come better
cooperation between the producer and
feeder on one side, and the packer
on the other; a greater knowledge on
the part of the meat consuming public
concerning the various factors in
volved in the cost of meat and the
probable increased consumption of
meat products; and a steady elimina-
ton of speculative influences in the
meat industry.
owing to the rather short time
that dressed beef is held before it
reaches the consumer, there is COM
paratively little opportunity for specu-
lative influence in beef. The hog
products are, however, a very differ
ent matter, as a large percentage of
the hog goes into the cellars of the
packers and is transferred into prod
ucts of a more or less speculative
nature, which are sometimes held for
many months This phase of the
situation will undoubtedly receive
very careful consideration by the
federal trades commission.
1T is also probable, in my judge
ment, that owing to the immense in
cattle since the opening of the war, it
may be shown, through the investiga-
tons OF the commission, that the
packers cannot only pay better prices
for cattle and still make a handsome
return to their stockholders, but also,
because of the steadily increasing
profit in these by products, reduce
the price of meat to the consumer.

ROBBERS Use DEPOT TRUCK
TO MOVE SAFE THEY LOOTED

that they boarded the train eastward
bound
AT the Robinson store it was stated
that the management had its suspi-
cion as to the identity of the robbers,
but that no information would be Civ
en- the public from that quarter.
The robbery, according to the ac-
count given by the sheriff's office, was
carefully and cleverly planned. The
depot trucks were taken to the store
after the blacksmith had been robbed
of his tools that were later used to
force open the safe. The truck was run
to the store which had been broken into
and the safe placed, upon it and re-
moved to a distance of three hundred
feet. After the burglary had been ac-
complshed the truck was thoughtfully
returned

After breaking into the c. A. Robin
son store in Peoria, loading the safe on
a depot truck and removing it fully a
block from the shop where cash in the
sum of $355 and a rare collection Of
three hundred coins were secured as
loot, two men succeeded in making a
clean getaway early yesterday morn
ing.
The matter was reported to the
sheriffs office at eight O'Clock, but
with lead of several hours on the Of
ficers little Roadway was made toward
the capture of the robbers. The sher-
ifs deputies believe they have trailed
the men as far as Glendale, but there

fident that the bold bandits are the

Stockyards as Public Utilities
MunicipaI Abattoirs

"One OF the satisfactory develop
ments during the year has been the
increase throughout the country of
small, independent packing houses and
the enlargement of others. | believe
it has been quite clearly shown by
the investigation of the market com
mittee during the past year that it
would be greatly to the public inter-
est-that of the producer as we'll as
|. he consumer that the StOck-yardS of
this country, now largely owned by
the packing interests, should be re-
garded as public utilities and placed
under thoroughgoing public control
and regulation. This would make
them more easily available to the
small, Independent packer. and, l be-
lieVe, would tend toward bringing
about n greater confidence on the part
of the shipper and packer; and | trust
that this association win take proper
action, by resolution, en- this import
ant matter.
The question of municipal abattoirs
is one which, for a number of years,
has been receiving the thoughtful at
tentiOn of students of this marketing
question. Europe has, for many years,
operated successfully both municipal
abattoirs and public markets, and Of
recent years there have been a num-
Der of examples of the successful
operation of the municipal abattoir in
this country while many public mar
kets are now in thoroughly successful
operation.
The department of agriculture, as
| understand, in addition to its many
other excellent activities, is making
investigation into the value of these
municipality owned abattoirs. and an
Indication of the growing interest in
this subject is shown by the introduce
ton in congress. on December 90, of
a bill providing for the establishment
maintenance, and operation of a NUM-
cipal abattoir in the District OF Column
bia.
