IDAHO MUST HAVE
BETTER LIVESTOCK
REPRESENTATIVE OF ANIMAL
HUSBANDRY DEPARTMENT
TELLS CONDITIONS

1--WE must have more livestock on
the farms. The population of the
| United States has increased between
40 and so per cent in the past 20 years
yet the number of acres of land in
| the United States has not increased a
single acre. True we have more land
under cultivation than we had 20 years
ago, but the number of acres avail
able for cultivation has not increased
and never will Consequently we must
produce more on the same number of
acres l am delighted with the natur-
al resources of Idaho and l think it
'is wonderful state, but the people
are not awake to it's wonderful pos
sibilities.
Methods must change. 1t is going
to become Improbable to raise cattle
and sheep and horses on the ranges
and preparations must be made to
raise them on the farms and to raise
feed for them. My uncle has 60 acres
of very valuable land near large city
in the east and he used 21a acres for
his buildings and yards for his cattle
and went into the dairy business and
grew rich. He did not try to pasture
his COWS, but raised feed for them on
that high priced land and made a good
profit
eve must have better stock-must
improve the breed-must raise more
pounds of beef and mutton on a single
carcass. This can be done by improv-
ing the breeding of the stock. We must
do more intensified work on the farms
must farm more like they do in
China, Japan, Holland, England, and
other old countries which have been
farmed for hundreds and even thOus
ands of years and supports a dense
population because every foot of>1and
produces something and only the very
best of livestock is raised and nothing
is permitted to be wasted Idaho has
natural advantages to be found any
where and all that is needed is prop |
er conception of their value and the
development This state |
can produce many times as much of
farm and animal products as it is |
now producing"
The statement made above is from |
N. E. Luce, recently of Washington,
D. c., who is now located at Boise |
where he has charge of the federal
animal husbandry work for Idaho and
Wyoming, and will also assist in the |
work of the University of |

Cooperative Grain Dealers asso-
cation.
Mr.. Craig will be 70 years old in
a few months and has been manager
of the farmers cooperative elevator
in Blue Springs for l6 years, ever
since its organization. 1t was one
of the first cooperative elevators to
be started in the state and it's suc-

The memories and associations of
our whole lives are wrapped about
Christmas because it is then that
our loves and our friendships find
greatest manifestation.
Promiscuous Giving Silly.
1t was to accentuate these rela-
tons, doubtless, that the practice
of making gifts was first adopte !.
And for this very reason the pro-
miscuous distribution of Christmas
gifts is both wasteful and silly.
They lose their favor. They rob
the yuletide of its most cherished
traditions and put covert stain OF
commercialism upon it.
Thus if a gift is to be token of
well-wishing all the circumstances
surrounding il should reflect the
same spirit.
