FARMERS WOULD
UNITE To MAKE
bEC-FEDERAT|0N
Picnic Called for Con-
sideration of Many Bad
Problems; Committee
Outlines Plans.

Farmers of the Boise valley and
all other persons who are interested
in the upbuilding of cooperative ag-
ricultural agencies, have been invited
to attend get-together mass meeting
in the Larson grove near Caldwell
September 9. Arrangements are un-
der the direction of w. w. Deal
John Pipher, Louis MCGEE, J. A.
McCune and w. w. Bates, the COM
mittee in charge, Announcing the
picnic and outlining the plan of the
meeting, the committee Wednesday
made the following statement:
A farmers get-together mass meet
ing and picnic will be held in the
Larson grove about eight miles ives,
of Caldwell on September 9, 1920
under the auspices of the American
Federation of Farmers.
The object is the general promo.
ton and development of agriculture
by means of an organized system oil
cooperation of the farmers and the
more efficient and extensive irriga-
ton of arid lands.
Reclamation One Object.
This occasion will launch the
American Federation of Farmers as
state and national organization with
a view to amalgamate all the farmers
and all the farmers organizations OF
all the states into one national feder-
alton. A survey Of the irrigation stu
alton of the Boise valley and other
districts of Idaho will be made by
efficient speakers and the need and
possibilities of utilizing the abundant
supply of water now wasting through
the rivers of the state into the sea to
reclaim the vast areas of valuable
land now lying waste will be dis
cussed.
The most perplexing and important
problem now confronting this country
is that of agriculture. The success
and prosperity of the farming indus
try depends upon practical system,
of cooperation in which all Ameri-
can farmers can work together har-
moniously.
Expect Big Attendance.
As the topics for discussion at the
meeting are of vital importance and
value to the people of Idaho, it is
hoped that the occasion will be the
greatest demonstration and uplift to
the agricultural industry ever put over
in the state.
In view of the attractions and valu-
able information which may be OBJ
tanned and the fine opportunity for an
outing, it is reasonable to expect an
exceedingly large attendance. The
general public is cordially invited to
be present and enjoy the day with
US. A specific program will be an.
nounced later.

Corrected Score

Caldwell actually scored 20 runs in
the baseball game against Payette
here Aug. IA, instead of Fl as pre-
viously announced. In answer to ap-
peals from many persons who> had
wagers on the score. an investigation
showed the error. Because of the
multitude of scores made in that
game, the error was made in over
looking a home run when the totals
were tabulated. The official and cor
rect score for the game is, CIdwell,

district will exercise every facility to
thoroughly clean all of its bitches in

week" entered final phase Thursday
when the local committee in charge
prepared for the final drive. Ardent
cooperation by Boy Scouts, an awak-
ened public interest and the assurance
of city assistance in whatever man
ner may be necessary to induce those
who are somewhat reluctant to clean
up their residence and vacant prop
erty, all point to successful termin-
alton of the campaign.
BY means of dodger which was
given wide circulation. Sept. Is was
announced as the final date for con-
clusion of this work. This the com.
mittee asserts, will only be true il
the work this week fails to &c,

ever, will be directed to concluding
the work this week. Those in charge
have been over the town daily on in

summaries of the cleanup" require
ment in each district and have out
lined new plans at frequent committee
meetings as the work progressed.
Take Police Along
Saturday has been set as the final
day for this work. Some time dur
ing the day, a.fnal inspection will be
made. In addition to those who are
endeavoring to awaken individual re.
spopsibility in this campaign, mem.
bers of the city police force will be
taken along to further enforce the
desire to give the town a spick and
span appearance.
In general. according to members Of
the committee in charge, property
owners are taking considerable in.
terest in the drive and certain sections
of Caldwell are already showing the
results of conscientious and hard
work. Particular efforts will be made
to locate owners of all vacant prop
erty in town and an effort made to
get them to go over this property
An ordinance provides that where
owners will not clean up, the city
may send men to do it for them, the
cost thus incurred being added to the
next annual tax on the property
However this means is not likely to be
invoked unless all others fail. sincs

Map Out Program
for Reclamation
Association Alters Organization and
Outlines Ambitious Plans for
Future Work in Idaho.

Pocatello. - Incorporation of the
Idaho Reclamation association annuls
the former organization, but a county
committeeman will be appointed in
every county in Idaho, and these Of
ficials will have authority to form
their own county organizations. The
original annual membership fee of 81
has proved too expensive to collect
80 after consideration the member
ship fee has been made S., sustain
ing memberships 500 and $500. The
press, returned soldiers and sailors,
and homesteaders on dry farms will
be given membership.
Directors will serve one, two and
three years, which means that five
directors will be elected each year.
The officers of the association will
be president. five vice presidents.
treasurer and secretary. The execu-
tive secretary becomes managing d.
rector. The judiciary board recently
appointed continues:
Pocatello Chosen Headquarters.
At the time of organization, Poca-
tello was chosen. the logical place
for headquarters, being situated be-
tween upper and lower Snake river
valleys and having neutral interests.
For the purpose of securing quorum
for business meetings, more directors
will be elected from Pocatello.
The work of the association will be
extended to every county in Idaho
having arid, drainage. or cut-over
over problems. When the organize
ton is formed in every county, the
directors and officers will be so elect
ed that all parts of the state will have
fair representation. The association
is working along non-political lines,
favoring no section, but endeavoring
to its utmost to arouse a mighty in
terest in reclamation for the benefit
OF Idaho. - a.
Has Wide Recognition.
The association formed February
Fl, 1919, by persistent effort has
forced our great reclamation squarely
to the public. The value of this work
is recognized, not only in Idaho, but
in the entire west and the nation.
After consideration, men who under
stand this work decided that the as
sociation would make Roadway in
corporated and having board of di-
rectors with an executive. board to
expedite business.
Idaho Reclamation association was
incorporated August S, 1920. a nom
profit-sharing corporation under the
laws of Idaho. 1t issues no stock,
simply membership certificates. The
articles Of incorporation require IS
directors, whose names will be pub
lished soon, also working bylaws.
The state is so large and the ex-
pense of getting the county commit
teenen together SO great under the
old form Of organization that the
work was hampered by this difficulty.
Under the present plan, three will con-
stitute quorum of the executive
board. A meeting of this board will
occur every two weeks, to go over all
the business and counsel as to the
best ways and means of carrying on
our work. e
Reclamation means prosperity for
all. Persistent efforts and support of
the association, both moral and fin
ancial, will hasten the solution of our
irrigation, drainage, and cut-over land
problems.

FORECAST FOR NEXT WEEK-Show
ers by Monday and probably again near
close of week; otherwise fair; moderate
temperatures.
The fifth Sunday of rain is predicted
for tomorrow. The forecast for next
Sunday, a week away, also anticipates
more rain.
Chances are better than $3.50 for
rain Sunday says S. D. Flora, state
meteorologist. No change win occur
in temperatures, he believes. An area
of low pressure is located over Wy
oming this morning. AS long as it re-
mains west of Kansas. rain may be ex
pected, Flora says.
It is regarded as the finest variety
of wheat weather. Wheat thrives dur
ing a cool. damp spring. The state is
well soaked and there is sufficient
moisture in all sections. More rain to-
morrow may delay Sunday joy-rides.
Flora indicates, but wheat is the main
consideration now.
No measurable rain occurred in Kan
sas in the last "a hours. a few light
showers were reported. Rain fell in
Indiana, Ohio. Pennsylvania and New
York.
No freezing weather occurred in
Kansas last night. The low mark at

MAY DAY UNOBSERvED HERE
Except for Revels of Children, Who
Have Very Few FIowcr-No
Patriotic Demonstration

The streets of Topeka echoed with
the laughter of little children Friday
night as they fitted from door to door
with May baskets. Troops of them
might be seen running here and there,
sometimes stealthily, sometimes with
noisy merriment. They would place
basket on a porch, knock at the door
and be gone before the recipient of the
gift appeared. But the flowers-un
kind frosts and billiards. made them
scarce.
Aside from the evening revels of
the kiddies Topeka goes her solemn
way today with apparently little
thought of the season. May Day. at
one time an important holiday in so
many countries, is almost obsolete
here. Governor Aliens proclamation
asking that patriotic demonstrations
be held in Kansas today apparently
went unheeded locally.
The American Legion passed reso-
lutions Friday night endorsing Amer
lean Day. but were unable to prepare
a patriotic program on such short no
tice, officers of the organization said.
The other patriotic, fraternal and civic
organizations said they had no plans
for the day.
A May Day fete given by the pupils
of the Lowman Hill school Friday
drew such a crowd that two more per-
corners could see the performance.
One was given in the afternoon and
two in the evening. Six hundred tick
cts were sold.
May l was an eventful date in Eng
land during the middle ages. 1t was
forth on the first May morning
and gather flowers and hawthorne
branches, which were brought into
the villages about sunrise to decorate
the doors and windows of the houses
The fairest maid in the town was
placed in a little arbor where she re-
ceived the alteration and homage of
the revelers.
A May-pole often as high as a
ships mast was erected in every viii
lage; and around this. on which
wreaths of flowers were suspended
the people danced nearly the whole
day. The poles were permanent but
were eventually uprooted by the Puri-
tans. who put a stop to the jollities
After the restoration. however the
ceremony of bringing home the May
again came into its own.
Even the court INDUCED in the May
day celebrations. It is recorded that
King Henry VIII and Queen Catherine,
together with the heads of the corpora
ton of London. went a-Maying with
all the revelry of the youthful viii
layers. In France. Germany and other
countries the festive sports were COM
mon. and are even yet observed on
smaller scale.
In more recent years May day has
come to be a Socialist and radical holi-
day. especially in foreign countries.
May day of last year saw similar dem
onstrations in the United States, at
tended by plots against the lives of
prominent officials by radical ele-
mente.
