VIII You Help"

Newspapers reporters find it in
creasingly difficult to run down the
news happenings of communitv.
The comings and goings of people
are not so easy to get as they once
were. Once the reporter haunted the
railway station and picked up much
of his news matter there. But the
station no longer yields up the per-
sonal mention it once did More
people travel by auto than by train
and so personal events, the goings
and comings, escape the eyes of the
news gatherer.

Representatives employed by the
Camas county farm bureau and the
University OF Idaho extension division
have found beds of grasshOpper eggs
On 10 farms In recent survey. Some
OF the areas were small, while others
were of good size. 1t is intended that
all these shall be thoroughly cultivat-
ed this fall, so as to destroy the eggs
and prevent a recurrence of the grass
: hopper pest which necessitatd long
and expensive campaign of eradication
last summer. The summers campaign
is reported to have saved 1900 bush
els of wheat in one community. 1t
was estimated by one farmer that the
county would have harvested only one
fourth of seasons crop II the grass
hoppers had not been fought.
10 Bushels Per Acre Extra.
Certified wheat is estimated by the
Gooding county farm bureau TO be
yielding at least 10 bushels per acre
more than other wheat, A yield OF
70 bushels per acre ON 40 acres is the
largest reported.

Spuds at $1,000 an Acre.
Calls have been received by the
Canyon county farm bureau for GER
tihcation Of seed potatoes, as a result
of the low price for market potatoes.
Most of the fields for which application
was made are reported to have failed
to come up to certification require
ments, because no rogueing has been
done. From recent indications, 1t is
reported by the farm bureau that more
attention will be paid in rogueing for

Purchase Dairy Cattle.
Fifteen farmers who live in the vi
entity of Wendell have closed deal
for the purchase Of 30 head OF espec-
tally good Guernsey dairy cattle, to
be imported from the Island OF Guern-
sey, according TO a statement issued by
H. R:~Cammack, field dairyman of the
University of Idaho extension division
and H. i. Westoyer, of Portland, field
representative of the American Guern-
sey Cattle club
10 rmany years. says this state
ment Idaho has been noted for its
alfalfa hay and high quality fruit
and from the progress the guernsey
breed Is making in the state, Idaho
soon will be noted also for its ex-
cellent Guernsey cattle. Several Guern-
Sey breeders in the vicinity of Wen
dell are making rapid strides toward
Guernsey center. Fifteen
men recently have closed a deal for
the purchase of 80 especially good
animals. They are from the island
herd and represent the correct island
type and most popular blood lines
The heifers are all well-grown, with
good heads, straight backs, deep bod
les and good udder development. With
this kind Of conformation and breed
ing, every animal should develop into
a very valuable COW.
This shipment represents such blood
lines as Governor OF the Chene, bull
that has 100 advanced registry daught-
ers that have completed lis records I;
Imported Clara's Sequal, a bull with
more than "a advanced registry
with records ranging from
400 to 500 pounds of butterfat as inn
mature cows; May Boy of the Camp
Il bull whose dam made a record of
Oils pounds of milk and 452 pounds
Of fat as two-year-old; and such
cows as Polly Des Ruettes, COW that
has a record OF 11,091 pounds of milk
and 5SS pounds Of fat as two-year-
old; Queen DIES Ruettes, a cow that
has a record of 10.2S0 pounds OF milk
and 800 pounds of fat as an immature
COW; Esperance Thirteenth of the Lo-
HERS, an animal that has an island
record of 10,410 pounds Of milk and
574 pounds of fat as three-year-eld.
There is also considerable blood of the
old island COW, Wide Horn, an animal
that has an island record Of 1000
pounds Of milk and 621 pounds of fat
made at Ia years OF age.
1T Is the intention of the Wendell
Guernsey breeders to use good Ameri-
can bulls ON these animals. By fol-
lowing this method, they would in
few years produce some wonderful
animals"

The Waste of Soil Erosion
A Simple Way to Stop It By J. ". Sargent, County Ageat-

'Think of it: A great block of soil a square mile in Area and a mile deep carried away every year. What shameful waste. Why doesn't nature behave herself. ?" It is appalling sure enough. But if that startles you, prepare to be more astounded by this: ALL THAT WASTE GAN BE STOPPED WIlH LITTLE WORK AND NOT MUGH MONEY. It doesn't take engineers or appropriations. Every land owner can be his own contractor, h1s own engineer and his own working crew.
 You can save yourself that loss, you can stop that waste. And not only tdat, you can restore what has been taken from your land. What is the remedy? It is TERRACIlIG. Terracing will not only save the hill sides and keep the rolling lands from washing away, but will also prevent the valley land being ruined by OVerWash and silt.
 Everybody knows the sleeper the slope the less water will sink in the soil during rains. The water runs off and carries with 1t much of the original covering. Unless rolling land is terraced, the rains wash the fertile soil off the top and sides of the hills and deposits 1t in the valleys below where 1t often does great damage.
 CulIies form on the slope of the hills and basten the escape of valu- able fertilizers. It is foolish to ap ply costly fertilizers only to have the rain water wash 1t away. Where land is not terraced, cultivation is made more difficult because the tex ture of the soil is changed and the water is gone that should have seep- ed into the soil to supply the mois- ture necessary for growing crops.
 Why not stop this wanton waste
The Pulaskian., 1920-09-09

before the fertility of the soil is all gone? Think what this loss means. An acre of land 6 inches deep weighs about 1000 tons. Every year one hundred seventy six thous- and acres, 6 inches deep, washes off the tops of our fields. At an aver age of $50.00 per acre, the money waste is nearly $9,000,O00.00 an nually. Half of this, or 4 1-2 mil lion bushels of corn goes in our rivers every year by allowing this waste to continue.
 And that could be saved. If you keep the top soil on your farm you keep the whole farm; if you lose the top soil off your farm you lost the whole farm.
 If you fill the small gullies in your field you will have no large ones. If you terrace those rolling lands properly, you will have no gullies. The County Agent is ready to show you how to terrace. And this service is free of cost to those who want 1t.
The Pulaskian., 1920-09-09

We miss you, oh, we miss you. Your sweet and loving smile. But we know you are among the
 angels.
 And will see you after while. Dear Ida, you have left us, And gone for ever more.
 But again we hope to meet you, On that bright and shining shore, Just a few more days of waiting. And our heart aches will be OCT. And we will meet our darling Ida Not lost but gone on before.
 When our journey here is ended. And our savior call us home. Let us be prepared to meet her. In that bright and happy home.

ORGANIZATIONS |
 OF FARMERS
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS BE- FORE AGRICULTURAL COM MITTEE OF THE PULASKI COUNTY QUORUM COUNTY.

The Agricultural Committee of the Quorum Court of Pulaski County has been called to meet at Judge Miles office Wednesday. Sept. l5, at II o'clock by the chairman, k. J. Bodman.
 There are two main questions to come up for discussion and decision- The first relates to organization work among the farmers of the County. We have several organizations among farmers represented in this County the Farmers Union, the Cotton As sociation and Farm Bureau and others. The County Agent has not been permitted to take an active part in any of these organizations for fear of making enemies of inc others. Now we want all these or ganizations represented at this meet ing to formulate program in which the County agents may take an active part without criticism.
 The other main question relates to an agricultural progam for 1921, beginning with fall corn crops and running all entire year. We think the time is ripe for the farmers to adopte their own program and let the County Agent be their hired man to help execute the program Mir. Bodman has asked therefore that we especially invite every farmer to at tend this meeting as we'll as represen- tation of the various farm organiza- tions.
