ing Town on Main Line Of
o. s. L.

Alfalfa, cows. business and money.
These are the assets Of the busy
town Of Kuna, located on the main
line Of the Short Line in the south
east section Of Ada county. 1t had q
busy year in 1919. But few years
ago the town of Kuna was dream Of
d. r. Hubbard, its founder, who owned
a considerable amount Of sage brush
land in that territory.
This land had q gentle slope to the
south and was situated far enough
from Nampa and Boise to make an
ideal town in his opinion and with
few others. the plans for incorporat-
ing village were started. The first
movement was the putting down of a
deep well of sufficient size to supply a
large town. This was done and fol-
lowing 1t the town Of Kuna was built
without effort Like Topsy in Uncle
Tom5s Cabin" It Just grew.
Today Kuna stands as the supply
point Of a large agricultural commun-
ity and favorite shipping point for
the southern section Of Ada county. 1t
has a substantial bank, liberal in its
loans to the farmers, which 1t recog-
nized as an asset to the town. 1t con-
tains a modern drug store a large lum-
Der yard and retail stores sufficient to
supply the demands Of the growing ag-
ricultural country Of which 1t is the
center.
FINE DAIRY PLANT.
Kuna boasts the finest dairy plant
in the state. 1t is known as the Av-
alon creamery and its fine Holstein
herd was among the prize winners at
the Gem State fair and other fairs in
Idaho. The products from this mod
ern dairy are shipped both east and
west and q goodly amount reaches
Boise.
Being in the heart of great alfalfa
district, much hay is shipped from that
section to eastern markets and there
is some likelihood of the establish
ment there of an alfalfa meal factory.
Something of the resources of tho
kuna territory were made known to
the rest of the county and throughout
the state when that section of the
county came across in the Liberty loan
| drives, Red Cross drives and other war
drives with far more than it's quota
on each occasion and was one of the
first sections several times to make a
report of its accomplishments.
FARMERS PROGRESSIVE.
The farmers about Kuna are pro-
gressive. They have built substantial
homes, improved their farms to such
an extent as to attract attention and
have them stocked with high grade
mich cows and thoroughbred hogs,
which the alfalfa industry brings them
excellent returns.
The Kuna section organized q road
district and built an excellent road
from the town to the Meridian high
way, which is to be improved under the
100000 road Improvement plan Of
Ada county.
The town is out for new business en-
terprises and it's citizens are willing to
go the limit in offering lands and In
ducements for substantial enterprises
Of value in farming community.
MORA ALSO GROWS.
Mora is another progressive point in
Ada county which has made q record
in agricultural development. It 10 Is
miles southwest Of Boise and four
miles from Kuna, which Is Its banking
center. Some excellent ranches are
tributary to Mora and 1t has showed
great DEVELOPMENT in 1919
