THE HAY SITUATION

June 23.--Hay in Idaho that can
be classed as "good" should COM
mand a price of SIS per ton and
dealers are cautioned, says an i'm
portant bulletin issued today by the
state farm market bureau, not to- go
to the extreme and ask greater
price for their hay than the prospec-
tive price for wool, mutton, beef and
dairy products, will justify the grow
ers of them in paying. The hay sit
uation Is one of the most interesting
and to meet the many inquiries the
bulletin was compiled. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Because of the many inquiries we
are receiving regarding the prospec-
tive supply of hay and the price 1t
should demand in Idaho, and for the
reason that conflicting statements
are being made to the producers in
the matter of values, we have con-
sidered it advisable to issue this bull
letin referring to the hay situation
as we view it after a careful inquiry
and personal study of the conditions
prevailing in the various hay pro-
ducing sections of our state.
/ find the arceage now producing
HAY considerably below the normal,
and the stand so far obtained on this
acreage, generally speaking, is also
below the average Early in the
month we were informed that GER
tain hay growers were contracting
their anticipated crop for $40 per
ton in the stack; and we at once adj

sale of their hay and applied to us,
to hold it for better price; stating
that the prices being paid for wool
mutton, beef, and dairy products,
which under existing conditions
would advance rather than decline,
justify the paying Of a much better
price for hay, and we advised grow
ers in southern Idaho who asked for
information, not to accept anything
less than $12 per ton, and that only
on condition that they were under
the necessity of making immediate
sale, and to hold for higher price
which would reach the SIS mark
within two weeks time.
Situation Explained
The present prices being paid evil

ment and we take this means of adj
vising you that under the present
conditions good hay should command
a price of SIS per ton, but we wish
to caution the producer against 60
ing to the other extreme and asking
a greater price for his hay than the
prospective price for wool, mutton,
beef and dairy products, will justify
the growers of them in paying; for
the reason that If stock growers and

fficient hay for their own use are

AND IRRIGA.
TION OF THE POTATO

(By e. r. Bennett, extension di-
vision, University of Idaho.)
A loose, well aerated soil must be
maintained at all times, IL the pota-
to is expected to make it's normal
growth. The best cultural methods
are aimed to make and keep the po-
tato soil porous and friable to the
Bottom of the furrow all during the
season. Unfortunately, this season
the force of circumstances has In
many cases tended to reduce the care
in preparation of the potato seed
bed. Again, heavy rains at or i'm
mediately after planting have seri-
ously compressed the heavier soils,
SO that there is danger that such soil
fungi as rhizootonia, fusarium and
scab will be more than ordinarily de-
structive this season. A cold, wet
soil favors the development of these
diseases. Early, deep cultivation
loosens, aerates and warns the soil;
hence, discourages these diseases.
On most Idaho soils, under nor
NAL conditions, it is not necessary
to practice extra deep cultivation of
1.-THE potato. Under the conditions
this year, however, it may be not
only advisable, but of vital import
ance, to thoroly loosen up the soil
of the potato fields by deep cultiva-
| tin 1t is not possible to make any
statement that will apply to all po-
ltato fields except to say that the soil
should be at all times, during the
growing season, in such condition
that one can easily dig with the hand
down to or below where the new
tubers are forming.
Examine the Soil
Each grower should carefully ex-
anime the soil in several parts of
his field. If it is packed tight around
the seed piece, the soil needs deep
cultivation. If it is not, shallow Gull
tivation, simply to maintain soil
mulch and make available the plant
food in the soil, will give better
results
When to Irrigate
Don't hurry the irrigation season.
Many growers are itching to get the
irrigation water running in the po-
tato fields. If the soil at the bottom
of the furrow is lacking in moisture
lit may be wise to irrigate while the
plants are small Otherwise, it is
better to resist the temptation and
keep the water off as long as pos
sible-at least until the tubers for
the crop are all set. For main crop
potatoes, this time will not arrive
till July. The field may look better
for the time being II water Is applied
early, but If 1t is given too soon a
good crop of disease and poor crop
of potatoes will probably be assured.
How to Water
The first principle, where row ir-
irrigation is necessary, is to have good
bitches or burrows between the rows.
These may be deep or shallow, der
pending mostly on the slope of the
land A steep slope needs but q
shallow ditch and a very small
stream of water, else washing will
result, and the water must run for
a long time so as to insure sufficient
percolation of the water into the
sub-soil. The more nearly level the
land, the deeper and larger the ditch
that is needed, so as to carry a large

Fruit Juices for jelly May be Steril-
lied and Bottled Without Sugar
and made into jelly at Housewives
Convenience.

Fruit juices for use later in jelly
making can be sterilized and bottled
without sugar and made into jellies
at the housewives convenience. This
enables her to do with fewer jelly
glasses and to distribute her pur-
chases of sugar for jelly making
thru the year. Moreover, with the
bottled juice she can make greater
variety of jellies, as juices which will
not jell can be put up when the
fruit is ripe and combined later with
fruits that will jell, or fruits ripen-
ing at different seasons can be COM
bined. For example, the juice OF
strawberries, cherries, or pineapple
can be kept without sugar and later
when apples are plentiful can be
made into combination jelly.
From the unsugared sterilized
juices Of currants, apples, crabap-
pies, and grapes, kept from 9 to
IS months, the bureau of chemistry,
United States department of agricul-
.ture, recently made jellies OF excel
lent texture, flavor and color.
To put up unsugared fruit juices
for jelly making proceed exactly as
If jelly were to be made at the time.
Cook the fruits until they are soft
and strain out the juice thru fan
mel bag. Heat and pour while hot
into bottles previously scalded. Fill
the bottles full, leaving no air space
between Juice and cork or seal. Place
the filled sealed bottles on their sides
in water near the boiling point, and
keep them in the bath for about 80
minutes. Make sure that the cork
ed or sealed end Is under the hot
water. AS soon as the bottles are
cool cover the cork with paraffin
seal. Thoro sterilization and sealing
are absolutely essential to success.
To make jelly from the sterilized
juice, test its Telling quality, add the
proper amount of sugar, and pro-
coed as in making jelly from freshly
expressed juice.
Corn and Cheese
Specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture point out
that corn may be used with cheese
in place of macaroni for the prepara-
ton of delicious and nutritive COM
bination dish. The following recipe
has been worked out:
One cup samp (coarsely ground or
cracked corn One quart of water.
one and one-fourth teaspoons salt.
Boil the samp in the sailed water
until tender. Drain and combine with
the following sauce:
One cup skim milk. One cup finely
cut cheese. Two tablespoons -four.
One teaspoon salt. One-fourth tea
spoon mustard, paprika, or other sea-
soning.
Mix the seasonings with the dry
-four. Add enough milk to form into
a smooth paste. = Add the remainder
of the milk and heat in a stewpan,
stirring constantly until thick. Add
the cheese and stir until it is thoroly
melted.

ISOLATION Of the city opened up on
February 1st a cafeteria with home
cooking. This addition has been made
il, response to the call of the public.
Considering it's patronage, the efforts
are being appreciated. Miss Van Gid
er, who has come to the city from
Manhattan, Kansas, for the purpose of
having charge, has shown herself very
pleasing as well as very capable in
her mana cement. Those who have
been served have pronounced it a
great success. The Y. w. C. A. cafe
terra stands for good food, well-cook-

Replys Are Very Gratifying

The Association OF Commerce Off
Gals are very much gratified with the
splendid response to the request made
our business men to find places for
the returning guardsmen of Company
D. Many of our business houses had
employees who went to the Mexican
border with Company D, and in all
instances these men will be taken back
into their old positions. Other firms
in the city are making room for one
or more men Of the company, so that
it is altogether likely that if the boys
are finally mustered out that they will
be provided excellent positions. Among
the positions offered are teamsters,
warehouse men, travelling statesmen,
etc. The secretary of the Association
of Comm cree wishes all business men
to write him at once telling him
whether they will provide positions to
the boys so that in case the boys re-
turn to Minot within the next week or
ten days that they can Immediately
go to work This is very important,
and prompt reply to this appeal will
be more than appreciated.

WONDERFUL. STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calIuses off with fingers

No hunbug! Any corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without particle
Of pain OF soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is a
compound Of ether discovered by Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
Q trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted of with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the
corns or calluses but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.

Writes Anent State.
Owned Mills.

I notice things are warming up at
Bismarck with much discussion on
House Bill No. A, which provides for
a way to change the state constitu-
ton. At the meeting in Minot last
week, Speaker Townley said there
were 10000 grain-growers and farm
ers belonging to the Non-partisan
league in North Dakota, Of which he
is president, and that the Senate is
blocking the way for his party to car
ny out their program, and he is hold
ing these meetings to get an express
sion of the people on this Bill No. a.,
which if carried into effect will allow
the state to borrow money to erect
terminal elevators, mills, packing
plants, cold storage plants, etc. l
I notice when there was vote taken
on the matter here in Minot with
about 200 farmers and businessmen
present, that there were but six that
voted favorable, the rest not voting
at all. This would lead one to believe
that the people are considering this
matter very closely. Mr.. Townley,
when asked question, said that the
farmers were queer animals" and
that it was hard to get their sixteen
dollars. Now he ought to know, as
he is president, but he showed US
where they got the farmer on D wheat
and on weed seed to the tune Of many
thousand dollars. Now, Mr.. Townley,
the old saying is, "if once you try and
don't succeed, try again." / voted
for the representatives who are down
there, although l am not a member
of the League, but when it comes to
changing the state constitution to OPP
crate the industries which belong to
the farming business, there is ques-
ton which the farmers and grain
growers ought to consider very SER
iously. Now the Equity is good or
ganization and has been in existence
for six years and has made many
gains, but let US look at what might
have been done. For an example we
will take Of the many products which
are raised in North Dakota just, wheat
alone as an example. Now we grain
growers and farmers have been told,
and beyond doubt, that in shipping
our wheat to Minneapolis that there
was a shrinkage Of 40 cents to the
farmer on every bushel while going
through the big mills, total loss
to the producer, with twelve cents
more to add for freight, commissions,
ETC., which makes total Of 81 cents
on each bushel sent out of our state
before it becomes a finished product.
Now, then, we will only take the year
1912-1915. In these two years, North
Dakota raised 295,000,000 bushels of
wheat and lost 81 cents on every
bushel sent to the mills, which in
round figures makes a total of $152,
100000 loss to the producers of North
Dakota on only wheat alone in only
two years. Now think Of all other
products you raise on your farms.
Yes, and the Equity sees fit to build
an elevator at St. Paul with North
Dakota money, where these mills are
we spoke Of, and they say they will
move their head Office from Fargo to
st. Paul. Now, Mr.. Farmer and
Grain-grower, how long are we going
to do this kind Of business? The old
saying is "there are none so blind as
those that will not see." Now, Mr..
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-02-08

Townley, you said that farmers were
queer animals, but as you have 10000
of them by the neck, could you not
whisper in their ear and say, 1--WE see
where we have money Of our own in
our products to do more than all that
House Bill ~ stands for, and we, the
farmers and grain-growers would not
need the state Of North Dakota as a
guardian to run the business which be-
longs to the farmers and grain-grow-
ers Of our state" Now supposing we
grain-growers and farmers do this:
Build a packing plant and big mill
on the river at Mandan or Bismarck,
on each side Of the riger. Get all you
can located on the river as this pro-
vides a cheap means Of transporta-
ton. Now, how much can we build
with loss OF $2,400,0OO on wheat
alone in two years? Why, l would
say you would have money to throw
at the birds. We can build a mill for
$250,000 Of 1000 barrels capacity,
with a large elevator attached. Now
take $4,OOO,OO0 and build 100 mills.
This leaves $1OO,OOO,OOO for packing
plants and cold storage plants, and
with only what we lost in two years
alone on wheat. But we grain and
stock growers have slept on our rights.
Now, the question is, are we going to
awake from that slumber?
Now l do not ask these questions
through any malice to any faction in
power or in politics. But it is a mat
ter which concerns the people of
North Dakota. It is easy for some
Of us to look. in a catalog and see
where we can save 20 cents by send
ing for some small article, but we
should see what we are going to do
about that which runs into millions
of dollars and lost to the people as q
whole. l, for one, would head the list
with $4,000 to keep and operate our
own state under the control of the
farmers and grain growers of the
state, than to see Bill No. A 90 in and
have the state take over something
that belongs to the farmers and grain
growers Of our state, as being our
own private affairs: What do you
say, Townley? Talk to your 10000
about this. After this is done, what
will we do with the man that carries
the dinner pail? He is one of US and
must live, also. God never decided any
land to any certain person and many
own no land and your band of 10000
are farmers and no one else is eligi-
BILE to become a member of your
League but farmers. We are told you
have specialized some yourself and
you perhaps know what it is, and
should the money the state now has
for the education of our children be
put in some banks for speculation, it
might not turn out as good as it
looks, for greed is what has brought
practically the whole of Europe where
! it now is. We should take no time in
chasing butterflies, but make hay
while the sun shines. And we do not
believe in class legislation but laws
for the people and by the people-for
the whole state and we grain growers
and farmers should do our own bust
ness instead of making it state mat
ter, for certain classes.
