Deary Press: Discussing the hay
situation here yesterday, P. A. Nor
man related an experience he once
had while farming in Texas. There
came a spring when there was no
hay. Mr.. Norman had some wheat
straw, which he cut up with a
machine made for the purpose. He
soaked the chopped straw slightly
in salt water. then mixed it with
dry shorts and fed it to his horses.
He put in his crops on this feed,
using no other ration, and his teams
kept IN excellent condition.
Mr.. Norman did not try this feed
for anything but his horses, but be-
lieves it would be an excellent ra-
ton for calves and even milk cows.
Juliaetta Record: Frank Vincent
last week showed the writer a small
apricot twlgs taken from tree at
his homes which was loaded with
buds just ready to burst into bloom.
On same plot of ground, he says,
the peach trees were all killed by
the extreme cold spell last winter.
Apricots are supposed to be among
the tender varieties of fruit and
now they escaped injury while the
peaches suffered so severely is hard
to understand. The same condition
prevails at the G. W. Benjamin
place, where five peach trees out OF
seven were killed and apricots,
cherries and pears seem to have not
been hurt and show indications of a
heavy yield this year.
Genesee News: Guy o. Brown was
in town Tuesday afternoon and was
making complaint that there was no
sidewalk extending to the city
limits along the Cow Creek road.
He said he parked his car near the
Sim Currln place and came the rest
of the way on foot. He sald he did
not mind the walk much, but he
hated to get his feet so muddy and
suggests that the city build SIDE
walk IN that direction to accom-
modate pedestrians who are com
PEELED to park their cars at the city
limits in order to get into town.
He said it was unnecessary to men,
tion the road as there is none, and
this we promised to do-and are
keeping our promise.

Star-Mirror: The overall craze ha
not resulted in lower ing the pric
of ordinary clothing but it has re
suited in raising the price of over
alls to So per pair in some places
One New York dealer is advertisin,
overalls at from $40 to $43.50 pc

Office seekers have managed to ge

papers by wearing overalls or JOIN
ing overalls club, but the price o
clothing has not been reduced. Tn
only way to reduce the cost of cloth
ing and shoes is to positively retus

in either line. That is admitte

method of reducing prices. Whe
the merchant or manufacturer find
he cannot sell the high priced good
he will refuse to make them or t
