A SUBURBAN STOCK FARM

Albert Heusser. who formerly
lived in the Stevens district below
Blackfoot, has bought the Will
Younie place in the suburbs and is
raising hogs and poultry and con-
Quoting dairy. The tract consists
of thirty-three acres with good
house and barn and other buildings
and Mr.. Heusser is working to put
everything in fine condition.
He has several hundred pure bred
white leghorn chickens of the laying
strain and reaps quite harvest Of
eggs. When the market prices Of
eggs is rs c per dozen he receives
soc per dozen for his. Customers
say they are worth that much be-
cause they are always fresh and they
never find a stale egg, and the as
surance that each egg is fresh
makes them all the more appetiz-
ing. One of his customers says 1t Is
economy to buy the soc eggs as
against the 75c ones for the eggs as
they are found on the market for
one finds stale egg occasionally and
that makes the rest Of the dozen
come higher than the soc eggs, be-
sides spelling ones appetite for eggs
at all.
Mr.. Heusser has little herd OF
dairy cows and some Jersey hogs
and he is planning to make his farm
produce the feed for the and to
make them build up the farm.

FINAL CROP ESTIMATE

Final estimates on farm produc-
ton have now been made and the
result is highly gratifying. The to-
tai value of the nations principal
crops is .,laced at $12,272,41 900,
the record of 1871 being exceeded
by $6l4,3S0,OO0. AS the nation is
under pledge to export twenty mil
lion tons of foodstuffs to Europe next
year, the bumper crop of the past
season will help out wonderfully. The
wheat crop, as whole, was larger
than the five-year average, and some
of the other crops established re-
cords, among them spring wheat,
barley, rye and tubers. Corn, how
ever, dropped half billion bushels
below the record mark. High prices
for all kinds of farm products swelled
the total value to considerable
amount. 1t will be different next
year, when the prices will be high,
but not abnormally so. The wheat
growers are in the ebst position to
make money, for the government
will take the entire crop at the war
time prices. AS a result, we may ex-
pect new record to be established
If the season is favorable. If inten-
sive farming prevailed in the United
States we could almost feed the
world. Even under the prevailing
conditions we expect vast quantities
of grain and meats, the balance of
trade being always in our favor on
this account 1t would be difficult
to forecast what will happen when
normal conditions return and the
war-torn countries are able to feed
themselves, but for another year or
two the American farmers are certain
of a rich reward for their endeavors.

Increased Crops of Idaho

The world war has had far
reaching effect upon the agriculture
of Idaho from the standpoint of pro-
duction. When the United States of
America was called upon to feed the
allied armies and the civil population
the federal food administration
made an urgent appeal to every state
in the union for increased agricul-
tural production. The farmers of
Idaho have responded loyalty during
the year 1918 from q patriotic mo-
tive and also because the profits in
farming for the past year have been
perhaps greater than at any time in
the history of the state.
The federal government, after out
lining it's policy in food production
and conservation, turned the pro-
gram over to the federal food admin
istration, the office of farm markets
and the University of Idaho extern
sion division for execution.
1t will be noted from the above
that the wheat acreage was increased
from 685,000 AGREES to 10000
acres, total increase of nearly
100000 acres, The wheat increase
was due to the esta blished price of
$500 t. o. b. cars for intermountain
points, which is about $1.3O above
the price in normal times. 1t was
also due to the very strenuous cam
paign which was put on thru the
farm bureau organization which re-
presents a total membership of about
10000. The increase in oats from
258,00O acres to 275, 900 AGREES was
due largely to the necessity of coarse
food to take the place Of the wheat
which the federal food administra-
ton had barred as stock food. The
same is true of the increase in corn.
The acreage in barley was decreas I'D
from 10000 AGREES to 10000 acres
on account of the extreme dry
weather during the summer Of 1917
which discouraged to large measure
the planting of barley in the dry land
sections. The climatic conditions
during 1918 were such that the final
production was greatly decreased,
the average yield per acre being
twenty-seven bushels, in comparison
with the normal yield Of thirty-eight
bushels. The increase in bean acre
age was largely due to the same
cause as was the increase in wheat
acreage. In 1917 there were 3d.
495 AGREES planted in the state, in
1918 44,618 acres, showing an in
crease of 4,123 acres. The splendid
weather during the growing season
greatly increased the yield in the
northern part of the state above nor
NAL. It Is estimated that the aver
age yield is about 500 pounds per
acre. The 1918 yield will be approx
imately 900 pounds per acre. Po-
tatoes and sugar beets both show a
decrease in acreage. Weather con-
ditions have been SO favorable that
the ottal production in 1918 will not
be much less than the production in
1917. The decrease in potato acre
age was largely due to the fact that
in the fall of 1917 the transporta-
ton conditions were such that thou
sands of bushels were lost to the
grower by their inability to get cars
for shipment to central markets.
i ais condition has not prevailed dur

1000 STARVING ARE
SAVED BY AMERICA
Red Cross and Navy Get Food
Supply to Isolated Island
Of Madeira.

America has saved the several thou
sand residents Of the island Of Madeira
from threatened starvation. The story
of how she came to the aid of the lit
tie colony situated off the coast Of At
RIGA and cut off from It's normal food
supply through the ragaves Of Ger
man submarines, unable to obtain
any help from, Portugal, its mother
country, is one Of the most interest
ing Of the smaller tales Of the war.
Residents Of the island Of Madeira,
which prior to the war was an object.
I've Of many tourists, depend almost
entirely on the outside world for their
food supplies, consisting principally
Of corn, rice and Goldfish. The number
of food ships reaching the island has
grown steadily less in the last year,
with the result that the people have
had to practice the most rigid econ
omy to keep alive. They had money
to purchase what they wanted, but
other countries could not spare the
ships to carry it to them. The sinking
of food ship bound from Africa to
the island about six weeks ago brought
the affairs of the colony to crisis.
They were facing starvation.
Word of their plight was sent to the
Red Cross headquarters in Washing
ton. Red Cross officials took the mat
ter up with the state department and
notified the latter that the Red Cross
was prepared to advance $4,000 for
supplies if they could be obtained in
Portugal and that country could trans
port them to the island.
Portugal said it had neither ships
nor corn to spare.
About this time the navy department
through Admiral Niblack arranged
with the governor general Of Morocco
to let the hard-pressed islanders have
500 tons Of corn with the understand
ing that the amount taken would be
replaced by the American. Red Cross
through shipments from this country
to France.
The United States shipping board
provided the space for transporta-
ton of the corn and Red Cross rep
resentative is accompanying the cargo
to assist in it's distribution. In the
meanwhile arrangements have been
made with the navy department for
the shipment Of 1900 tons from here
by the Red Cross on a navy transport.

According to Statement of Sur
geon General ireland.
GRIPPE IS WORST OPPONENT
American Soldier Is the HeaIthiest
Fighter In the World, He says-25,-
600 Doctors Now in Army, Some Of
Them Most Eminent In United
States-Officers Declare New Sur
econ General alive Wire"

''The health Of the American army
in France is excellent"
Maj. Gen. Merritt w. Ireland, newly
appointed surgeon general, succeeding
General Gorgas, made the above state
ment and added that the Yank is just
about the healthiest fighter in the
world.
According to the new surgeon gen
eral, who came over with General
Pershing and who, in his former ca
pacity of chief surgeon, has had op-
portunity to study infinitely sanitary,
hygienic and hospital conditions, la
grippe is the worst opponent with
which the medical corps has to battle.
Unlike other surgeon generals, Gen.
eral Ireland expects to spend most Of
his time in France. He is returning
to the States some time in the near
future, but hopes that he will be able
to come back to France instead Of d.
recting his department from Washing
ton.
II think that the surgeon general
should be in the field" said he. II
want to return to France as quickly
as possible"
asked General ireland If he had
any reforms in mind.
No Reforms In Mind.
IT am not a 'reformer,'" he an
swered. "But, Of course, I have GER
tain plans which believe are neces-
sary for increased efficiency.
Recently the grippe-or, as it is
generally known, the Spanish grippe
has worked its way into our ranks.
However, it is not serious. And it af-
fects men differently in different parts
Of the country or line. Men at one
part of the line may have the grippe
in a very mild form, recovering in a
day or so. In other parts it may be a
trifle longer. People in the United
States will remember the grippe cpl
demic of 1889 which, 1t was generally
agreed, came from Russia. OF course,
we have nothing like 1t here now, and
in fact the other armies seem to have
more Of the grippe than the American
forces"
Asked If he would issue an appeal
for more doctors and more nurses
General Ireland said that both were
always needed.
"Any army can use as many doctors
and nurses as 1t can obtain" he said
"Some time ago issued an appeal for
10000 nurses, you will remember"
Army Has $4,000 Doctors.
The American army has now some.
thing like $4,000 doctors, some Of
whom were the most eminent in the
United States. He explained that there
should be 10000 doctors to a million
men, approximately, and 100 nurses
to every 1000 men in the hospitals.
Interesting stories were told me by
officers who know General Ireland In
timately. They are agreed in saying
that he is ''live wire," that he has
more enthusiasm and American pep
than anysman in the service.
"Why, the elevators in France are
even too slow for him." said one Off
Ger. HE won't ride in them.p In
stead he goes up the steps two anf
! three at a time."
