"NOt AstOnished
at Maine" Cox

Weiser, Idaho.-Governor Cox, Dem
ocratic candidate for the presidency,
made the following statement here to-
day regarding the Maine election:
"The result in Maine is no surprise
The large majority is accounted for by
the increase in the total vote. Repub-
lican Chairman, Hays went into the
state early and that meant that Maine
was to be prepared to furnish the Re-
publican pyrotechnic display for the
campaign. But neither pyrotechnics
nor money can win the fight. It will
be decided outside of Maine. In 1916
the Republicans carried Maine and yet
President Wilson carried 81 states and
secured part of the electoral vote in
West Virginia"

ed this year The school farm is so
infested with nut grass that at this
time it was impossible to grow cot
ton with profit to the farm or a credit
to the school.
Six acres have been prepared and
is being planted to garden vegetables
for summer canning, as well as for
fall and winter uses.
The farm started business last fall
without a dollar. We had three
mules, two heifers, FIVE yearlings.
three scHub sows, and twelve six
weeks pigs. The only feed in sight
was about IT'S bushels of corn in the
field, six acres of uncut pea vines,
and an abundance of wild grasses.
The farm saved $50 loads or about
seventy-five tons Of hay, has sold
S75 worth Of this hay, has on hand
about thirty tons Of this hay and
enough corn to feed through May
and June.
Very little corn has been fed to
hogs. The farm has bought about
$50 worth of shorts for sows and
pigs, and .about'S60 worth of concen-
trates for milk cows. The live stock
have all been well kept. The low
cost Of feeding is due entirely to the
excellent system Of winter grazing
The farm has secured one Cherry
King Duroc, two registered Duroc
sows, and one scrub milk cow. The
farm now has three milk cows, six
yearlings, and fifty hogs. These win
be grazed on twelve acres, which are
now being put in sweet potatoes,
corn, velvet beans, and peanuts.
The farm has seven and one-hah
acres Of oats and ten acres of wheat
as good as ever grew on the school
property. This has been grown at q
cost of S72 for fertilizer, SIS for
seed, and our own labor.
Twenty acres have been planted
in corn This land was all plowed
with the tractor and narrowed last
fall and winter.
A great deal of labor has been used
in clearing away old fences, hedges,
and rough spots. This has made our
labor cost a little higher than it
would have been. The farm keeps up
the drive-ways and the school
grounds.
