Now, it appears to me that this is
a fair valuation for the property, and
also it appears to me that it would
be reasonable to ask those interested
in this matter in Norwich to pay this
amount of money towards the pur-
chase of the land with the under
standing that the state will bear any
additional expense which may be in
Cured on account of legal proceedings
CT for other causes.
Will you kindly give mo your IDEAS

TO INCLUDE GEM
COUNTY
Boise Valley Wool Growers to In
clude this County in Association

The Boise Valley Wool Growers As
sociation will extend their organiza-
tion over Gem county and surrounding
territory.
Last year the wool pooled by the
association came from $50 ranch
fiocks and amounted to better than
s100, 900. The wool was handled at
an expense of three-tenths of cent
per pound, which covered all charges
of labor storage and insurance. Char
les Gaines of Nampa, treasurer of
the association, will have charge of
receiving and grading at all receiy-
ing stations.
A delegation of Gem county ranch
wool growers attended a meeting of
the association and arrangements were
made to extend the association. Wool
will be received at the Fruit Growers
Union in Emmett Saturday, May 10,
and every Saturday following in May.
Idaho ranch wool is in big demand.
Last years crop pooled by the asso-
citation sold for go cents cash, no dock,
and the same wooden mills that
brought it are after the 1919 crop.

To Test Milk Cows

Do you want your milch cows tested
for tuberculosis DR.: Ellis, in charge
Of the testing work for the state, will
be in Gem county the first part of
May If you have COW in Emmett
you wish tested notify County Agent
Berry. Other arrangements will be
made in each community in the county
so that any one in the county can have
their cows tested for tuberculosis. In
case a cow reacts to the test and is
condemned for slaughter, the state
and government pays the owner for
two-thirds of the loss. For example,
500 grade COW is condemned for
slaughter. Her salvage value might
be $40; the owner wohld receive this
and $40 from state and $50 from the
government. Making $50 in all.
There is no expense as Doctor EIhs
is government veterinarian. So far
in the state about 5 y per cent of the
cows have reacted.

FRUIT NOTES

l wish 10 call the attention of all
fruit growers who have apple or pear
trees that the latter part of this week
and all Of next week will be the. pro-
per time to spray for Goblin moth.
Certain varieties and on certain
ground are earlier than others, and
should be sprayed just as soon as most
of the petals have fallen, so each
grower must be his own judge when
to spray. Those who have not spray
ed with the lime sulphur solution will
do well to add black leaf 40 to spray
for scale, red spider and aphis. /
would suggest, or rather recommend,
that you use the formula as indicated
on the package, as different brands
have different strengths. Be thorough
with this first spraying, as this is the
most important one of all. Use high
pressure to drive the spray into the
calyx of the blossoms to get results

HAD BATTLE WITH A
MULE
Animal Attacks George Fenton,
but is Beaten OFF With Club
After a Fierce Fight.

George W. Fenton, employed on the
C. P. Hartley ranch, had most har-
rowing experience with mule last
Saturday, in which he miraculously
escaped serious results.
He was hitching up the mule when
suddenly the animal broke away and
plunged to attack colt ner by Be
fore Mr.. Fenton could prevent it, the
colt had been downed and the mule
was viciously pommelling it. Seizing a
club, the only weapon at hand, Mr..
Fenton struck the mule, which imme-
diately made lunge at him. Mr. Fen
ton backed away to a fence, with the
infuriated beast almost upon him, but
for some reason the mule failed TO
strike him and Mr.. Fenton was able
to deliver blows upon the head and
eyes, which proved effective, and the
brute abandoned his vicious onslaught.
1t was a narrow escape from possi-
Bile death, or at least serious injury,
and Mr.. Fenton is fortunate in having
suffered nothing worse than some
painful bruises and wire cut or two.

PICTURE SHOWS IN
CHURCHES
Emmett Organizations Consider
ing Using Films on Sun
day Nights

Emmett church organizations have
under consideration a proposition to
give union picture show on Sunday
evenings in one Of the churches, which
causes one to observe that the world
do move" Such action is revolution
airy in church affairs, Of course. But
why not Some Of Us can remember
when a violin in church was looked
upon as sacrilege. And now nov
ing pictures come knocking and want
to know why they should not have
place in the church institution
No; this is no joke or a cold day
story. 1t is fact that the Methodist,
Baptist and Presbyterian churches
have the moving pictures under ser
ious consideration and il is quite like
ly a contract will be signed with D. ".
Griffith, one of the largest film pro-
ducers in the country. He is the pro-
ducers of the Birth Of a Nation"
Hearts of the World and other big
scenic productions. He is now enter
ing the religious domain and will fea-
ture Bible stories. And what field.
Odh to1 Imagine any ylHihS more
worthy Of such a master mind and
skill in portrayal than IS offered in
such Bible stories from Adam to Sol
omon's time, and IN the New Testa-
ment also. Just as the modern pic
ture story teaches a moral, so these
Bible stories IN moving pictures can
preach sermon that may be as i'm
pressive and inspirational as those by
word of mouth. Mr.. Griffith is piann-
ing to make speciality of Bible stor-
les for churches. 1t is proposed that
all the church unite in presenting
the pictures The expense will be met
by subscriptions and collections. De-
finite announcement is expected At an
early date.

THE Boy" Arrives.

A telegram received this morning
from Hoboken, n. j., announcing the
safe arrival of ''The Boy'-Sergeant
Clarence W. Skinner-from France
brought joy to The Index family. But
the joy was threaded with lines of sad
ness because the message did not tell
of the arrival of the other Emmett
boys in the same company. That was
all that was needed TO make the cup
full and running over. Here's hoping
that the others will soon be back in
the Good Old U. S. A. "The Boy"
states he will leave in three days for a
western camp and then home, after an
absence of nearly two years Yep,
the sun is shining brighter than usual
today and life seems more than ever
worth the living.

farm crop production. The price OF
$3.50 per acre for the entire tract is

In regard to the possibilities of this
years fruit crop, Mr.. Stone said:
II sm reminded of an expression
made by Jap in my presence several
years ago. He was buying cherry
crop on the trees while it was still in
the bloom. When asked if he was not
taking long chance he squinted at
the sky and said, oh l think God he
good this year."
A. A Richards has not decided up
on his future plans. He still owns
the original homestead adjoining Fro
zen Dog Ranch and may decide to de-
velop that splendid tract of land and
