The horse took fright and started to
run, and by mistake the wrong line
was pulled which turned the horse
very sharply and caused the buggy to
upset. They were all thrown out
and one of the boys went thru the
top of the buggy, but no serious
harm was done with the exception
Of running the buggy.

State Interested in
Gathering Statistics

Idaho's morbidity statistics will
become precisely accurate If a cam
paign which has been begun by DR..
Ernest e. Laubaugh, medical adj
wiser in the department of public
welfare, Is carried to successful COM
pletion.
I'm the recent past" declared DR..
Laubaugh Saturday, physicians
have been careless in reporting the
cause of death and we have been
forced to return innumerable certi-
ficates because of inadequate or
faulty information regarding either
the primary or secondary cause Of
the fatality reported.
I'm order to keep our statistics abb
solutely accurate, it is of vital i'm
portance that all certificates be pre-
pared in accordance with the inter-
national list of the cause of death.
We have been urging physicians
thruout the state to make all of their
reports scientifically precise.
I'm my opinion, it is impossible to
over emphasize the Importance of &C.
curate birth and death statistics.
Vital information of this sort time
after time has proven immensely
valuable.
IF more people realized the sig
nificance Of accuracy in these matters
there would be continual insistance
that all reports be made both
promptly and in accordance with the
regulations which have been an
nounced By this department"

Apple Market

Honest man number one threw
up his hands in despair. He rang
honest man number two and his
wife answered the phone and
heard the explanation, and then
replied, well, you know the
children just shook them off the
trees and filled the boxes and
nailed them up. I don't know
what they put in"
And the other man had sold
them for hand-picked, hand
sorted apples. Well, the two
honest men got together and took
the loss, and honest man number
two said, "That's what a man gets
for leaving a thing to the women
folks"
Picking, grading and packing
apples is very difficult task,
task that puts men folks to the
test even when they have all the
conveniences of a packing house
with mechanical graders to help.
Down in the Weiser and Payette
apple districts they have been de-
veloping their system Of grading
and packing apples, and since the

the way we told you about in re-

ment of agriculture at Washing
ton, D. c., with the result that a
convention of apples growers and
department men from Washington
DC, met at Spokane the first of
December to arrange for stand
ardized methods of picking, grad
ing, packing and shipping apples,
so that a firm can order apples
anywhere in the northwest in a
simple telegram of ten words and
everybody engaged in the apple
business will know just what kind
of fruit should arrive in response
to the order. The standard grade,
standard pack, and standard way
Of placing the boxes in the car

inspector and when such certifi-

were unable to do so and in such
cases the state furnished the drivers,

payrolls. In regard to the drivers
on state operated machines, beg to
advise that it is only our intention to
maintain a skeleton organization
during the winter season and expand
the skeleton in the spring to meet the
conditions that exist at that time.
In regard to the automobiles or
touring cars assigned to the state, We
are operating the same upon our sur
veys and maintenance work and have
none available for distribution to the
counties.
The state has been to quite large
expense on the automobiles especially
due to the fact that the machines
furnished the state by the govern
ment were in very, very bad shape.
and in nearly every instance it re-
quired several dollars to supply nee
essary parts to put them in running
order. Out of the total number re-
ceived there were only two which
were in condition to drive from the
railroad yards to our shop; and in
each case all the extras, tools, etc.
were either not shipped or were
stolen enrOute.
We received eleven Fords in one
shipment and at the present time
there are only two out of the eleven
that could be considered in good SER
viceable condition as the others were
more or less junk when we got them
and have been constant source of
expense since their arrival.

sent their orders a long way off,
where apples were grown under
conditions that enabled the grow
ers to pick, pack and sell a
standard product. If the buyer
wanted certain grade of apples
he could order that kind and get
them. The picking, grading, pack
ing and shipping were neglected
in most of the districts of Idaho
where apples were grown, and
here is an example of how badly
the marketing methods went to
pieces, or rather, how lacking
they. were and are, in develop
ment.
A Blackfoot man raises apples
and protects his customers in their
deals with him. He has shipped
customers just what they want for
so many years that when they buy
of him they feel assured of what
they will receive. In 1919 he re-
ceived orders for more apples
than he could ship from his own
orchard, so he rang up a perfectly
honest and reliable .neighbOr who
had apples to sell, and explained
that a couple of good customers
on Lost river wanted to lay in
their years supply, and if this
neighbor wanted to fill the orders
he could do it, or if he would get
the apples already to ship, that
he, the first man, would take
them to Blackfoot and bill them
out in his own name. 1t was all
agreed upon, and in day or two
the apples were ready for ship
ment. Honest man number one
quit his work and shipped out the
apples packed by honest man
number two.
In a week or SO a full box of
apples came down by mail from
Chilly, Idaho, on the head of Lost
river, addressed to honest man
number one, and in the same mail
letter saying that the apples
were such a mess of big, little,
bruised, knotty, rotten, and half
rotten apples that they were not
worth the freight, and this one
box was sent back as a fair ex-
ample to prove their condition.

What Idaho Should Do to the

Ten years ago Idaho men had
commercial orchards established
in sufficient numbers to supply
much of the demand for apples in
the state. They were generally
unable to market their apples and
get repeat orders from the people
who tried them. When dealers in
apples were ready to buy for their
trade, for their customers, they

bank at sight. When the buyer
opens up the apples at destination
he will not want his money back;
he will want the apples and be
glad the grower has already got
his money.

he is required to leave that place

to extra expense for meals, hotel or

Some Trucks Still Out
The department of supplies reports
that it is buying motor supplies for
225 trucks, so l assume that there
are trucks in some departments not
reported upon thru the bureau of
roads. The trucks assigned to Bing-
ham county were ammunition trucks
and had to be somewhat rebuilt to
make them dump the loads. A sec
ton of the bottom of the steel body
had to be cut out and arranged in

Roosevelt as a Writer.

In an article on Theodore Roosevelt
In the Yale Review. Henry A. Beers
says of him as a writer:
"Mr. Roosevelt produced much ex-
cellent literature, but no masterpieces
like Lincoln's Gettysburg address and
second inaugural Probably his
sketches of ranch life and of hunting
trips in three continents will be read
longest and will keep their freshness
after the public questions which he
discussed have lost interest and his
historical works have been in part re-
written. In these outdoor papers, be-
sides the thrilling adventure which
they-very modestly-record, there
are even passages of descriptive beau
ty and chapters of graphic narrative,
like the tale of the pursuit and cap
ture of the three robbers who stole
the boats on the Missouri river which
belonged to the Roosevelt ranch"

A Catfish story.

An old colored man at Jefferson City
caught two-pound catfish and was so
well satisfied with his skill as fisher
man that he lay down and took nap,
with the fish beside him. Another
moke came along soon after, picked up
the fish and left half-pound one in
it's place When the colored man woke
up, the first thing his eyes sought was
the fish, and it took him several sec
onds to realize what had happened.
Then, turning the fish over and scru-
timing it very closely, he exclaimed !:

HOME OF THE WATERMELON
Monticello, in Florida, Rightly Claims
to Be Worlds Greatest Market
for the Seed.

Jefferson county, Florida, of which
Monticello is the county seat, is the
home of the watermelon seed indus
try of the United States" declares the
Monticello News. "It could be said
that this is the home of the industry
for the world, for this county grows
more watermelons for seed purposes
than any other section, and more wa
termelons are grown in North Amer
lea than anywhere else"
The News. gives some figures on the
proposition and no doubt good many
people would be surprised TO know
that OF the ten thousand acres utilized
in the United States for growing wa
termelons for seed, Jefferson county,
Florida, has more than eight thousand
acres busy toward that end. 1t is the
only place in the world where an or
der for carload of watermelon seed
can be fi4led-and such orders are
often filled and the cars go out of
Monticello.
Florida is a wonderful state. The
balance of the country might be able
to get along without us, but they
wouldn't have nearly as good a time
as they do now.-F'lorida Times-Union.
