FALL FRUIT CROP
TO Be $500 CARS
Estimates Submitted to Horticultural
Association Indicate Big Trans
portation Job.

Approximately $500 freight cars will
be required of the 0 S. L. railroad to
handle this falls Idaho fruit crop in
the Weiser to Pocatello district. OF
this number $3.50 cars will be neces-
sary to handle the apple crop alone
and 500 cars will be devoted to the
prunes, while peaches will make nee
essary an additional 800 cars.
These are figures reported after
careful investigation. of orchards in
all fruit producing sections of south
ern Idaho to the meeting of the
State Horticultural association held
here Saturday afternoon. General
optimism prevailed at the meeting, re-
ports showing that much more fruit
would be shipped from southern Ida
no this year than early season frost
reports indicated.
756 Boxes to Car.
The apple estimates are based on
carload lots of 756 boxes. Prunes
which will be dried at home and will
not be shipped from the state in fresh
condition, were not included in esti-
mates relating to them.
Fruitland leads the apple crop es-
innate with 700 cars. Other sections
contributing to the total include EN-
NETT, with IFS cars; Sunny Slope, IS;
Weiser, ESQ; Brogan, IS; Twin Falls
section. ESQ; Ontario, 20; Adrian, IL;
Parma, AZ; New Plymouth, 800; Ap.
pie Valley, $50; Boise to Nampa, ZOO
Council to Fruitvale, 240; Nampa, 1856
Arcadia, 80, and Payette section, 700
Twin Falls Heavy on Peaches.
Twin Falls leads the peach esti
mates with $50 cars, followed by EN-.
NETT, with LIS. Council will marke
about 90 cars of peaches and othel
scattering districts will have an ad
ditional Is cars.
Figures on the number of cars re
quired during the fruit season will b.
submitted to the railroad administra
ton as Indicative of the shipping re
quirements necessary to handle tn,
crop. General sentiment seemed t.
favor the belief that the number o
cars estimated to handle the fall crol
was placed at a conservative figure
Many we'll known fruit men expressed
the belief that 1900 cars would no
handle the crop.
The horticultural society indorse,

This includes submission of variou
receipts, inspection papers and bi

Recommend Minor Changes.
Several minor changes were rec
commended BY the association to tn
fruit inspection regulation and a CON
mittee was appointed to confer wit
H. A. LYONS, farm markets directo
and incorporate the suggestions

changes is of great moment.

CALDWELL LINES
ASK RATE RAISE
Petition Filed With Utilities Commits
sion Asking One Cent a Mile
Advance in Rates.

The Caldwell Traction company,
claiming that it has never paid a div
idend, filed petition with the public
utilities commission Tuesday, asking
for permission to increase its rates
approximately cent mile for pas
Sengers.
The company submits a table of
revenues for 1918 with the application
and this shows that total of $751;
3l6.23 was taken in last year. Of this
amount $42, 800 went for operating ex-
penses, leaving a net earning of $l0,-
5l6n for the year. Taxes for 1917
and 1918, together with rentals on
lines, interest on debts and miscel-
laneous expenses cut this amount to
$42l.4l, the net income, according to
the application.
Under the proposed change no
round trip tickets will be sold and
only stright fare will be accepted.
The traction company operates two
| lines, the total distance covered by
both approximating rs miles. One
line rLns from Caldwell south to Nc
| Neil and the other from Caldwell to
Wilder.
The fare from Caldwell to Wilder
under the new rate would be 50 cents
while the present charge is but IS
cents
The charge from one end of the line
to the other, that is Mcneil to Wilder
is now IS cents, and the proposed fare
would increase this amount to g.
cents.
1t is proposed to gain the cent
increase by sliding scale, advancing
the present fares cents for point:
near Caldwell and gradually increas
ing the rate as the mileage lengthens
About midway from Caldwell to Nc
| Neil and Wilder the fare would be II
cents higher, while at the extreme emf
of the lines the maximum additions
fare is placed in effect which is /!
cents.
,, The fare between Caldwell, Motlow
Dixie and Johnson is not affected
while the towns of Allendale, Colder
i Gate and Wilder would be hit tn
hardest.
1t is figured by the traction com
pany only an increase of cent a mil
:. results by the increase under tn
: sliding schedule plan.
The utilities commission had not
: fled towns that are affected of tn
!, filing of the petition and if protest
3 are filed date for hearing on tn
:. matter will be set.
&c 1t is likely that the towns serve
- by the traction company will off
objection to the increase and Calt
a well will probably be selected as tt
y town in which the commission wi
, hold the hearing.

WOOL NETS LARGE
SUM-F0R FARMERS
Canyon County Clip Entirely Disposed
of-Potatoes Promise to Yield
a Bumper Crop.

All canyon county wool has been
sold, bringing producers prices rang
ing rom ~ to 5U cents per pound. Re
cent surveys made by the Canyon
county farm bureau give the number
OF farm sheep IN the county at 9oY7,
which produced this season an esti-
mated crop of 1898 pounds. Sew
eral farmers with small tlocks ave-
ragged Ia pounds per clip.
Potato crop reports indicate that
this years yield will be about al ave-
rage on an acre basis, according to
the monthly statement of Canyon
crop conditions issued by the Gallo
well Commercial bank. A recent sur
vey places the acreage at 30OO acres
TOR the county, being considerably
larger acreage than has been planted
heretofore in the county. Digging will
begin about July rs in the earlier Sec
tons and continue until about Sep
TENDER l.
Real Estate HUNS.
Real estate dealers report more
sales for this season of the year than
for any other like period. Farms
have changed hands several times at
constantly advancing prices. City
property is also unusually active.
Money continues plentiful. Crops
should be financed locally without ex-
traordinary effort.
Shipments from Caldwell for the
month fell off considerably from the
figure of last wear for the same pc
riod, and were also considerably
lower than for last month. Of the
81 cars of produce shipped from here
during June, hay led with u cars. Cat
tie furnished IS cars, wool Is, and
flour 7.
Big Money in Hay.
Now hay is reported to have been
stacked in excellent condition. No
sales have been reported so far, but
farmers express the opinion that this
years crop will sell for $3.50 to SIS
per ton. Livestock men report rap
idly drying range, which threatens
hardship for stock dependent upon
. that source of summer feed. Cattle
and sheep are being taken to higher
: attitudes. Dry farming sections ar,
. reported to be hard hit, with pros
: poets for light crop.
Buyers are in the field contracting
: fall apples and are offering $40 Il
e $50 per ton, based on variety.

How Good Blood Helped a Dairy

A rood dairy bull, purchased by a
Montana county farm bureau member

at the head of a herd of 10 cows, the
average annual production of which
was 1900 pounds of milk and zoo
pounds of butter fat. The daughters
Of the bull have replaced the old
cows in the herd and exceed the pro-
duction of their dams bv an average
of l02 pounds of butter fat and 1925
pounds of milk per year. This i'm
provement nets $500 profit each year
This improvement nets $500 profit

bull call. at was akbully good in

The man who means 10 build would do well to build now. He who hesl- tates is not likely to profit
 1t is an axiom of Wall street that persons who determine to buy at the bottom always miss the market, rush in and buy when everybody is buying and, by bidding against each other, put prices up on themselves, and have to pay more than if they had not been so wise and cautious.
 The law o3 supply and demand is ircxOrable. There is a tremendous shortage of buildings in America today The demand naust be met. The sooner ia the better.
 There never was a better opportunity for the builder. The nation is hungry for homes, for factories, for hotels, for every kind and character Of structure. Every city is overcroWded. Every in- dIstriaA center is cousesLed
 Tho man who hcsitates to huild be- cause of what he considers high prices is out of touch with the times. Every thing is on a higher level Materials wages. all commodities neverswin get back to what they were.
