is much below the average. A few
berries are coming to market and
are snapped up at $3.50 TO $500

is only about a third Of what he
usually grows.

the trip, but the calf was in no hur-

A basket will be- placed In the

Says a W. {. T. U, leader:
ANY worn out table cloth or

As in other sections of the Inlanc
Empire the wheat outlook around
Weston is not now especially prom
ising, according 10 the reports oi
different observers. While fall
grain will come through and make
a crop in any event. the yield will
be cut by the protracted hot wealth
er. What will become of the
spring grain, however, in the event
that there is no rainfall soon, is
problematicaI. Especially on the
uplands is rain needed. While there
is moisture underneath, the soil
crust is baked and hard. One up
land farmer reports that his barley
is heading out, although scarcely
six inches high.
In accordance with an order is
sued Tuesday from the county
court. 0sa Leo Coverdale, a little
boy about three years old, was
seized upon for delivery TO the court
by Mrs. Olive Neyin. The young.
ster's parents are separated. and he
has been cared for by his aunt, Mrs.
Mary Bradficld, upon whom the pa
pcrs in the case were caused to be
served by Mrs. Nevin. 1t is said
that custody Of the boy is desired
by his father.
The proposed change in the Pine
creek road above Weston is report
ed to be nearing realization. OF
the $1,000 required to be raised
by Weston and the upland farmers
to be served by the road. it is said
that $500 is subscribed or in sight
and the balance will be forthcom-
ing. Among the larger town sub

INQUIRY MADE AS
TO THE. CAUSE OF
HEAVY PRUNE Loss
Department of Agriculture
Experts Attribute Drop
ping Of Fruit to Soil or
Climatic Conditions.

TIE heavy losses sustained by prune
growers last summer through the
dropping of immature prunes has
caused wide investigations. Samples
Of the withered prunes which fell from
the trees in various sections Of the
state were sent to the department of
agriculture at Washington, d. c..
Among the growers who submitted the
question to the department was D. b.
Long of Middleton. His. answer from
the department is that the disease is
physiological, that Is, 1t Is not caused
by any insect or fungous diseases pre-
ventable by spraying or similar meth
DDS. Physiological troubles, says the
report, are usually due to the combi-
nations of soil and climate. The au-
thorities believe 1T more the result of
climatic conditions, qualities of the soil
and express their opinion that it was
the excessive dry hot weather. They
make a suggestion that study Of the
soil and subsoil Of orchards be made,
using the soil anger or the spade and
further that the best means possible
be used for securing proper penetra-
ton Of the irrigation water and a uni
form condition of the soil moisture.
REMEDY SUGGESTED.
Mr.. Long, who has been making
something of study of his own or
chard, gives the information that a
cover crop of alfalfa or grain, the lat
ter harvested before maturity or rip
ening, will absorb the SUMS rays, and
keep the young prunes from scalding,
Ripening grain, he says, reflects the
suns rays and assists in the scalding
process, while green grain or grass
protects the fruit.
Concerning the best means for uni
form system of irrigating the soil, Mr..
Long advises where there is hard pan
or clay formed in a pocket or pot
about the tree roots. charge of one
third of stick of dynamite about
Is inches from the tree will break up
the formation and permit water to
penetrate the soil.
1t has been learned that many
samples of the falling prunes, not only
from Idaho but other northwestern
states and also eastern states, were
sent to Washington that the cause of
the dropping might be ascertained.

the purchasers to pay approximately
$41.50 more for q water right for the
state lands purchased in the new dis
trict than the amount the purchasers
agreed to pay when the state sold the
land to them, and they will have this
extra price to pay, not by reason Of
any default on their part, but by rea-
son Of the insolvency of the district,
