I know perfectly we'll couldn't buy an equal value of foder for four times that cost.
 The situation Is about this: Labor is scarce and wages high; fertilizers are almost priceless; feeds are held at extortionate f1gureS-while the things we eastern farmers have to sell have not risen in equal proportion. We can't compel adequate prices for our products, because we lack the organ ization and cooperative capacity to do so. We must either curtail pro duction or reduce production expense. The only visible available means to this latter end is to stop buying ex- travagant Illinois corn and Dakota bran and South Carolina cottonseed, etc, and raise on our own farms sub stitutes which will measureably fill their places, at less cost per unit of feeding value.
 1t is by no means certain that we can all do this. But it is, if not cer- tain. at least highly probable that many can. No one can be sure whether he is able or not without making a try at it. If he fails, he will be not worse off than he is now: cant well be: if he succeeds he will manifestly be better off.

regarding the proposed CONSUMPTION

the idea that they were to come to
Boise to register, and they came.
They had read somewhere that post
masters would be called upon to aid in
getting the names of all parties fit for
military duty. This accounts for their
visit to the office of Postmaster Davis
They came in to register, SO that the

where to find them.

iective draft measure to the young men,
took their names and addresses and
