HEN LAYS TWO
EGGS DAILY

Profiteers in eggs would have
their difficulties If all hens were as
industriously prolific as Ida U, a
White .Orpington pullet owned by
the poultry department of the Uni
versity Of Idaho. Two eggs day
on six different days and SO eggs
in 40 days is this extraordinary hens
carefully authenticated record.
Until February II Ida U was kept
in pen with number of other
pullets, but on that date she was sep
arated and trapnested in order that
an accurate production record might
be kept. The industrious pullet
missed laying three days in the per-
iod of her terst, but promptly made
her derelictions forgotten by pro-
ducing two eggs on succeeding days.
All of Ida US eggs have been
saved for tests in the poultry de-
partment incubator. If it can be
demonstrated that her tendencies
are. heritable, there may be a tre-
mendous demand for White Orping-
ton chicks from the university

CAUSE LIBRARIAN TO SMILE
Humorous Mixups In the Titles Of
Books Are Matter Of Daily
Occurrence.

The branch Of the public library at
Thirty-fourth and Illinois streets is
heated with large stove. A pitcher
Of water is kept on the stove most Of
the time. One Sunday afternoon the
fire was booming and the pitcher
singing merrily. The quietness of the
room was broken suddenly by sup
pressed giggle. In answer to sur
prised glance from the librarian a
boy said: II know why you keep that
pitcher of water on the stove. It's to
make people who are sitting where
they can't see the stove think you have
steam heat"
At the same branch library a high
school lad threw down his school
books on the table and asked for
book on the high school reading list.
"Margory's Claw" he thought 1t was.
The librarian turned to the shelves
to suppress smile and there before
her was the book he no doubt wished,
"Marjory Daw," by Aldrich. The lad
was so embarrassed at his mistake
that he left the library without his
scho0lbOoks.
A child recently asked for 'The
Priests Cab" which the librarian in.
terpreted to mean "The Bishops Car
riage," and "Jessie Mcbride" for 1.-THE
Jessamy Bride" These little Incl
dents only serve to make librarians

beets. The Utah-Idaho Sugar COM
pany has several big sugar plants
in this section and for the past few
years has not been able to secure
the beets necessary to operate the
plants full time. The company will
now be able to grow beets in suf-
ficient quantity to protect their big
investment in factories. Another
plant that has been discussed in
formally is that of the building OF
sugar plant on the west side and
probably railroad. Some time ago
the plan for the building Of road
spur to the west side was taken up
but on account of the inability to
secure the right of way was given
up.
The development of the west side
projects and the great land being re-
claimed both by dry farming and
irrigation from miles west of Idaho
Falls, has encouraged the building
of railroad from either Hamer,
Roberts, or Idaho Falls to the big
reclamation projects on Mud lake,
where some $4,000 acres have been
reclaimed by irrigation. 1t is un-
dedstood that active steps will be
taken at once to interest the Short
Line in building west from Idaho
Falls thru the developed territory
and on to the Mud lake reclamation
projects.

The toal amount expended against
this appropriation for, all purposes
during the period from aJnuray /,
1919 to April /, 1920, was $87, 545.-
63. The available balance for the
remaining nine months of this bien-
mum is $79,089.37. This is in face
of the fact that during the first If
teen months the expense included all
the cost of organization which will
not have to be paid again for several
years. We also excluded the fair
appropriation from which we derive
no benefit as a department. The
same applies to the predatory ami
NAL fund which is derived by assess
ment on livestock.
In view Of the fact that we have
inspected over $1,000 cars of farm
produce, upwards of 5000 bands Of
sheep and dipped more than 1,000,-
900 head, and made from 10000 to
$4,000 animal industry inspections,
such as tubercular cattle, interstate
shipments, ETC., and also in the

per cent as compared to about 20
per cent for the tetn northern coun-
ties. What the increase would be
with the American Falls reservoir
constructed, an abundance of wa
ter provided for the lands in the
older irrigated districts and water
made available for new lands, is in
Dictated by the development in Twin
Falls county, where with a very
small increase in the irrigated area,
the population during the past ten
years has increased almost four-fold
or from 1880 to about $4,000.
Bingham county represents a typ
zeal instance of the development of
the older irrigated districts during
the past decade. In 1910 the pop
ulation of Bingham county was 49,
sos. Bonneville county had not
then been created. The combined
population today of Bingham and
Bonneville counties is estimated at
$4,000, an increase of 22,10S. Bing-
ham county has almost identically
the same number of acres of cult
waited land and the same population
that was shown ten years ago when
Bonneville county was created. Thus
all the people and wealth of Bonne-
vile county may justly be consid-
cred to have come within the past
ten years.
The counties of Gem and Payette
show only about 80 per cent of the
increase in wealth and population of
the territory included In Canyon
county ten years ago.
Washington county has more
people and more wealth by far than
were shown ten years ago before
half her territory was taken to Gre
ate Adams county.
Idaho irrigated land provides a
safe and profitable investment for
capital. The growing Of seed and
other remunerative products is in
creasing in many districts and If de-
velopment continues along these
lines 1t will be an easy matter to
support population many timesl
greater than we now have without
becoming crowded. Land values are
rapidly increasing and will continue
to increase. The farms are becom-
ing smaller in size and more inten-
sive cultivation is being adopted
The production records of the
Twin Falls and Minidoka irrigated |
tracts is good illustration of the
productivity of Idaho's irrigated
land. In 1918 and 361, 900 acres
in crop in, these projects produced
$23,99S,467, exclusive of livestock
and dairy products The cost up to
that time of the irrigation systems
supplying water for these lands was
$13,624,375, or $10,374,092 less
than the products of 1918 alone.

It is mighty good judgment to start
in as quickly as possible, If the new
home is to be occupied this fall.
During the selection of the plans, 1t
is good move to consult the local
architect, the contractor who is ex-
pected to build the house and the
dealer who will furnish the materials.
All Of these men have had a great
deal of experience in planning and
building homes and will be able to give
the prospective owner some good
pointers on home planning and the
materials to be used.
But In any event it Is wise to get
started early with the home building

Brick is material that always ap-
peals to home builders. Homes Of
brick are substantial homes-homes
that are warm in winter and cool in
summer. In exterior appearance they
cannot be surpassed, for the reason
that the various colors Of the bricks
lend themselves to harmonious con-
trasts. Another claim to the popu-
larity of brick is that the cost Of up
keep is low.
Herewith Is shown q square brick

illustration this house might be mis-
taken for one with stucco exterior.
The wide. open porch is the principal

white labor that produces most of the
cotton has been in the making for a
long time. Many things indicate that
it will reach climax during the
coming year. 1t promises to be epo-
chal, and therefore becomes a mat
ter Of the very first importance.
Hence since it seems opportune, the
prospective effect Of the attitude OF
this class CT labor on the supply and
price of cotton will be discussed in
these letters next week.
1t is notable that decline in prices
has not increased demand. The stu
alton is most extraordinary. The re-
suit of attempting to market the crop
under such conditions is too obvious
for comment If the mills are clos
ing down, the producers must close
down also, and stoically await the
passing of this sub-normal condition.
Any other course would be suicidal.

LOCAL LAD IS
QUICK SUCCESS

In today's issue of The Press there
is an announcement Of Herbert E.
Holt, proprietor and manager of the
Electrical Service Company. Back of
this announcement is a story of per-
severance, pluck and plenty of hard
work.
Herbert Holt has lived in Imperial
Valley for nearly Is years. In 1913
he graduated from the Imperial high
school in a class of young who have
all made good. Numbered among
his class mates We're Jessie Holt,
Tiny Lingo, Bee Booher Dyer, Mrs.
Erskin and Mrs. Earl Northrup.
Four years ago he was working
for Jim Cass in Imperial, who at that
Later the firm of Cass & Morgan was
where young Holt continued to be in
their employ.
1t was some time after this that
Holt got started for himself. Realiz-
ing the necessity for first class serv-
ice on batteries and accessories there
to, he opened up service station,
occupying quarters adjacent to Cass
& Morgan, and running under the
firm name of Electrical Service Co.
From this nucelous the business
has grown and developed under the
guidance of Mr.. Holt until today it
is one of the largest of it's kind in
the valley and has ,ust moved to it's
new quarters on State street where it
is housed in a handsome new build
ing. This live concern is only
sample of many such business sue
cesses in the valley and is testi-
monial to first class service at just

EXPERT
SHOWS NEED Of
SMALLER ACREAGE
Continued from page u

by spreading this propaganda among
their clients, and some are still doing
so, Notwithstanding that the string
ency of money is definitely neutral
izing the efficiency of Southern bus
mess and the productive power of
Southern industries.
The results have been just what
was to have been expected. Hundreds
Of millions Of dollars of wealth pro-
duced in the South, not only in 1919,
but the wealth produced through
many prosperous years, have been
tied up in these alien securities. So
it happened that when deflation put
large part of the South's resources
were found protecting these interests
in the East and West, and Southern
interests were left to suffer. If all
this wealth had been organized and
definitely held for the protection of
the section that produced it, does
anyone believe for moment thai we
would ever have seen such a debacle,
for instance, as we have seen in the
cotton market?
This experience is not a new one
for the South. 1t has happened be-
fore, and more than one time before.
Why has not the wealth produced
in the South been invested in the
South? Are Southern financiers who
largely determine the investment of
the surplus earnings of the people to
blame, or, are conditions to blame?
Money, it is true, always, and Of
right, seeks the most attractive in
vcstment regardless of geographical
lines. Does anyone pretend to claim
that the South does not offer oppor
tunities for investment equal in ev-
cry respect to what is offered in any
other part of the country, particular
ly, in those sections that have alb
sorbed millions of Southern capital?
1t would be wholly erroneous to
assume that this attitude of the South
reflects a sectional feeling as that
term is commonly interpreted. You
see, Southern business men have al
ways been at great disadvantage
in every crisis, not because they could
not get the use of wealth produced
in other sections, but because a large
part of the wealth produced in their
own was not available. Hence pub
lie sentiment is strenuously demand
ing that the light be turned on every
angle of this situation so that an eff
fective remedy may be applied.
The export corporation recently
formed by Southern bankers is really
the result of this demand 1t promises
not only to absorb the larger part
Of the surplus wealth of the South,
but on terms that will be wholly sat
isfactory to the investors, as the eX-
ploitation of Southern commerce in
foreign countries promises to be
enormously profitable. For this rea-
son the undertaking should have the
active and sympathetic support o
every Southern man.
A profound revolution among tn
