Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1917-09-28

ever seen, and now that we have the
rural credit banks where the farmer
can borrow money at low rate OF
interest on the amortization plan and
have his choice to pay 1t back at the
end of his natural life in annual pay
ments, or as he is able to do sooner,
there will be a development in the ag-
ricultural field that the world has
never before experienced and the
United States will lead all countries in
that direction.
THE national government Is extend
ing aid to the states of the union in
many ways and Idaho will do her share
and will be ready to CO. operate along
the lines of national development.
THE Idaho state fair has indeed
been instituted at the proper time.
TRIBUTE TO SOIL TILLER.
I'VE are here today to pay tribute
TO the man who tills the soil and to
extend to him the hand of good fell
lowship and encouragement. and to as :
sist him so that the state of Idaho will
lead in the vanguard of development,
and when we look at the exhibits at
this fair, mostly from the southern
part of Idaho, we can see that our
state is playing her part well in this
struggle for the liberation of the world
The fields of Idaho will be a large fac
tor in determining this contest for
there are no more fertile fields on the
face of the earth, nor any more pro-
ductive acres to be found in the world
than those of Idaho. Let us today get
the inspiration to do our part, and to
stand back of the nation from now on
better than ever before and we will
then be doing that which we started
out to do and that which will rebound
to the credit and the glory of the state
and the nation.
Let me extend to you again an In
vitation in behalf Of the state of Ida
no to return to the Idaho state fair
again in 1918 and to induce others to
return with you and thereby show your
assistance in making this fair per-
manent and successful institution and
the people of Boise, Of the county of
Ada and every organization within the
borders will do its utmost to entertain
you and bid you welcome.
I'm the meantime. everything within
our power and money available will be
done to beautify these grounds and
make them more attractive and have
better facilities for the housing of
stock and exhibits and for the pro-
ducts of the soil and the splendid ex-
hibits of the schools and the wom-
ans department.
Let me again say to you, remem-
Der the Idaho state fair and do not
forget the northwest livestock show
held November S-13 at Lewiston, Ida
no.
November is the opening of the
Northwest Livestock Show and is des-
ignated as Governors Day Tor on that
day the governors of Washington
Oregon, Montana, Nevada, Utah and
Idaho will be present for the purpose
of viewing the possibilities of the live
stock industry of their states, and their
presence will demonstrate that the In
terests of all the states of this section
Is centralized upon one thing, more
food stuffs, more fighting material and
more conservation. With such coop
Grafton the nation may feel safe that
the food supply will be adequate no
matter how long the contest may last
and with that knowledge there Is but
one outcome Of this war and that Is
victory for the Stars and Stripes and
her allies
