BULL CLUB STARTED
IN PAYETTE COUNTY
Dairymen Cooperate in Organization
to Foster Ownership of Purebred
Sires-County Agent Actively Sup
ports Plan.

Idaho's first dairy bull club" was
started recently in Payette county.
A bull club" or cooperative bull as
ISOLATION, is an organization of dairy
men for the cooperative ownership,
use, and exchange of high class, pure
bred dairy sires. 1t offers many adj
vantages to the dairymen and breed
ers. Since they club together to buy
their bulls, the cost to each mem
Der is greatly reduced, the cost of
keeping extra bulls is eliminated, and
better and consequently higher pric-
ed pure bred sires can be purchased
at a cost below that of a scrub.
The bull association appeals 'es-
peciaIly to the dairyman with grades.
He can invest in the association less
than a scrub would cost and have
the benefit of a good pure bred sire,
not for just one or two years, blu
for from six to ten years, depending
upon the number of blocks in the as
sociation. There is no less an ap-
peal to the pure bred breeder of dairy
cattle. He can join with the Other
breeders in his vicinity, and by eact
investing what he a afford, Sires
of superior merit can be purchased
at no increased cost. A bull associa
ton is, of course, valuable also II
furnishing an organization through
which the breeders can dispose o
cattle.
A typical bull association is com
posed of about Is dairymen who ar
divided into three blocks or groups
A pure bred bull of merit is pur
chased for each block. He is use
in that block for a year, and the
switched to the next, and so on agaiI
every W. years. Three bulls will
thus serve the herds of a number G
farmers for six years. Instead o
each farmer having to pay for tn
keep of a bull, he only has to pay hi
share, or one fifteenth in the cas-
mentioned.
Instrumental in forming the me-
bull association in Payette count
were County Agricultural Agent v
r. Palmer, F. R. Cammack, Fiel
Dairyman for Idaho, and F. w. Kef
Ri of the U. S. department of ayr
culture. Other associations of TIL
kind will be started in the near fl
ture.

A GRADE COW THAT PAID.

About a year & a dairy farmer
went to the sale on the Western Hol-
stein farms determined to get a good
milk COW. He had been handling or
binary grade COWS and he wanted to
try out a high grade Holstein to see
if better stock would really pay. He
had his eye on a good COW, and when
she was brought into the sale ring,
made up his mind that he must have
her. other farmers had picked the
same COW and bidding ran up to 1916.
! when she was knocked down to u
friend. The price looked mighty big
10 him and he hardly knew how TO
face his wife when he came home
with his purchase and told her that
the COW had cost him the price OF
two or three ordinary grades and h a
she was not registered at that.
The county agent called on him a
few days after the sale and gave him
some encouragement. He advised
him to give the COW a chance to show
that she was really worth the money,
and to feed her right. The farmer
followed his advice and recently al
ter she came fresh, IN one month a
check for the milk from this COW
alone amounted to $40. She brought
him a heifer calf. NOT long g a
neighbor called TO buy the heifer.
"What1l you take for that heifer
John, out IF your 1915 cow"
That heifer isn't for sale"
Give you a hundred dollars for
her
Nothing doingl"
SO another farmer has found thai
il pays to pay well for good stock
even for grade COWS when they arr
sold out OF herds Of known and test
ed breeding.

Broom Corn in Argentina.

In Argentina the cultivation of
broom corn is conducted along simple
lines not differing much from that of
ordinary corn. The broom corn Is
frequently sown after the wheat, flax
or oats crop ON the property has been
harvested, and If there is abundant
rain and if the frosts are late a good
yield may be obtained, thus giving
two harvests in the same year from q

What Editors Say About
Drugless Methods
WEALTH TALK NO. 81

Bernarr McFadden, editor OF the Physical Culture,
the monthly magazine, and the editor OF the Rocky
Mountain News, both deal some sledge hammer blows
for the drugless methods.
McFadden says in a statement about the compar-
tive statistics of the medical and the drugless treat
ment of Spanish Influenza cases, III these figures
are correct, and they are put forward as correct by
honorable men. what appalling conclusions one
would be forced TO draw Think what II would

died would be alive today, that they were actually,

OF at least two diseases (the flu and pneumonia) is
in many cases more deadly than the diseases them
selves. Death caused by malpractice, whether thru
ignorance or otherwise, should be prevented"

menting with currant grapes in Cali
fornia.
Two cardinal points must be OBJ
served, the department says. in order
to grow the choicer currant grapes
successfully; they should be grated
on phylloXera resistant stocks congen-
ial TO them. but such stocks must also
be suited to the soil and other condi-
tons. In an extensive test on vari-
Gus resistant stocks a sufficient num-
Der of varieties of these stocks has
been found from which to select such
as are adapted to the various soil
types and other conditions and that
are congenial to currant grapes.
The other essential is that the vines
be thoroughly girdled at blooming
time. 1t has been definitely ascer-
tanned that this is necessary to make
the blooms set and to secure n full
crop of fruit. This girdling consists
In making two parallel cuts entirely
around either the trunks, arms or
canes of the vines and taking out the
bark between the cuts. The girdling
must be thoroughly done. and it must
be done while the vines are in bloom.
There may be possibilities for the
wine vineyardists in the making of
grape syrups. As the University of
California has pointed out, the manu-
facture of syrups could be accom-
plished with comparatively little ex-
pense for special equipment. as some
of the wineries already have syrup
making machinery.
A table syrup produced from grapes
necessarily would be high priced
syrup. II could not compete with the
commoner kinds OF syrup in price.

Hope for Grape Growers

T TOW TO help growers OF wine
Fl grapes readjust their farm
= - ing to meet new conditions
under national prohibition is a prob
lem receiving the attention OF the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Most OF the growers in Cali
fornia. principally in the bay country
around San Francisco. where about
100000 acres OF wine grapes are
grown, have depended wholly upon
these vineyards for their support. The
department sees u ray of hope in
the complex situation through CONVEX
sion of small proportion of this acre
age into currant grapes.
There is an established market in
the United States for about 30,000,000
pounds Of dried currants annually, de-
partment specialists say. That was
the average quantity annually i'm
ported prior to the beginning of the
European war. The demand for them
has become thoroughly fixed and may
fairly be depended upon. From 5000
to 10000 acres of grapes would be
necessary to meet this demand, here
tofore supplied from abroad. Domes-
tic consumption of currants, no doubt,
could be greatly increased by proper
educational efforts, thus affording II
larger possibility for the conversion Of
wine vineyards.
This conversion could be accom-
plished and would pay only where the
vines are phylloxera resistant, COM

The feeling between the automobile
manufacturer and the Tribune had
been made more intense because Of
Ford's anti-militarism campaign
through page advertisements a few
months previously. These advertise
ments, which created a national sensa-
ton and aroused the ire of the leading
defence societies, were published in
the Tribune, among other papers. On
the date that the first Of the series
appeared the Tribune published an
announcement on the first page stat
ing that the sSS7.04 received for the
advertisement would be contributed by
the Tribune TO the patriotic work of
the Navy League. It's leading editorial
was a criticism OF the advertisement
and of Henry Ford's policies.
