URGE PLANTING
BEETS FOR SUGAR

Idahoans who wish to take some
of the sting out of the high sugar
prices by making beet sugar sirup
for home consumption in the fall
should attend at once to planting
whatever acreage of beets they may
need, according to experts of the
University of Idaho's horticultural
department.
Early planting is advised partic-
ularly in the non-irrigated sections,
where it is necessary to take adj
vantage of the surface moisture.
Ground which is not too rich, a
fine, firm seed bed, rows twenty
inches apart and sowing at depth
of from one-half to an inch are de-
clared to be the essential first steps.
Tests made at the university show
that bushel of beets, thirty to- for
ty pounds, will make approximately
three quarts of high grade sirup
which makes griddle cakes appealing
and has numerous other table uses.
1t can be readily substituted for at
least part of he sugar and used
in making dark cakes and cookies
and certain kinds of preserves.
A circular on the making of both
apple and sugar beet sirups is now
being prepared by university work.
ers and will be ready for distribu-
ton in the near future.

SALT LAKE CLUB
POSTPONES TRIP

The proposed trip of the Salt Lake
Commercial club to the various ci-
ties Of southern Idaho has been post
poned, according to word received
by this office. A letter from Sam
K. Smith assistant secretary of the
club, says:
"The present industrial emergen-
cy does not warrant our taking the
trade excursion trip to Idaho at this
time, is the reluctant decision Of
the committee on arrangements to-
day. The Oregon Short Line rail-
road officials have assured us Of
sufficient equipment to move the
special train, but We do not want to
add anything to the burdens of the
railroad companies at this time.
81 am sure you will understand
the position taken in this matter
which we feel is for the public good.
AS soon as the conditions warrant
we will carry out our original
plans"

EARL BOWMAN

"Bowman's Own Luncheon" was
an affair given by the Boise Chamber
of Commerce on April in honor of
Idaho's writer and poet, Earl Way
land Bowman. On the neat an
nouncement card appeared a pencil
sketch of Mr.. Bowman and state
ment to the effect that the club
wished to show its appreciation of
the man who had done so much to
help, develop Idaho's productive in
dustries and who had won national
recognition as an author.
Mr.. Bowman's "Ramblin' Kid"
which recently ran in the All Story
Weekly is to be published in book
form. His story BLUNT Nose" in
the American magazine last winter
created wide interest in his work
and opened many editorial doors to
his work.
Mr.. Bowman has published good
deal Of excellent verse, and during
the Liberty Loan drives he wrote
and produced a one-act play that
helped Boise go over the top in high
style.

LOCAL AUTHOR
GAINS NOTICE
Mrs. Blanche H. Soth
Gets Recognition in
Big Magazines

Mrs. Blanche H. Soth, of Black.
foot, has recently had published an
article and story in magazines OF
large circulation. In the November
American Botanist' she has an ar
ticle on Alpine Primroses and in
Outing" for March, story of an
experience on uppar Pixies Peak, en-
titled, "The Siren of the Summit" "
In this story Mrs. Soth describes
the Crater" a huge cash in the
peak, high above the timber line.
Seated in the rocks along it's edge
she first heard the "Banshee" wall
ing and was terrified:
81 stepped froward intending to
advance to the edge of the slope
ahead. My steps were halted by the
most blood-curdling shrek it is pos
sible to imagine. Words cannot con-
vey the terrifying quality of that
awful cry. From a low but intense
it rose in pitch and pene-
tration to horrid scream, dying
away in low, rattling laughter"
She was alone. She retreated
back to camp, but could not rid her.
self of the memory of that unex-
planned sound. Finally on a later
trip she discovered that is was due
to the concentration of wind cur
rents in gaps between the boulders.
She calls this phenomenon the
'Banshee."
The story is Interestingly told and
holds the reader in suspense until
the very end.
Mrs. Soth has been writing on
botanical subjects for several years,
having articles published in maga-
zines. She has the knack of writing
about the mountains, the trees and
flowers in a way that people like.
Her great knowledge of plant life
has benefited many of her friends in
Blackfoot who wished to tame the
wild flowers for home garden use.
She knows the name and history of
any plant you can find in the lavas,
the mountains, or the canyons, and
Is always willing to tell you all about
hem If you show an interest.

: The "Swat the Fly" campaign is

rection of Miss Chloe ,Stockard, boys
and girls county club leader. From
April 26 to 80 is to be devoted to the
campaign and at that time all filth.
refuse and other breeding places Of
the fly will be cleaned up. In an
article on the work, Miss Stockard
says:
This is the time to begin the war
on the flies. Don't wait until they
are already here as you give them a
chance to begin their deadly work.
Get rid Of their favorite places Of
breeding, such as the manure pile
and the garbage heap. Flies not on
ly breed in filth, but they feed on
it and then contaminate everything
they lay their hairy little legs on.
Let's see that Blackfoot has de-
cided decrease in its fly population
this summer.
Descendants from a single over
wintering female fly by September
would number 5,598,720,000,000.
A we'll infested manure pile may
contain from 1900 to 1000 mag
gots per pound of manure. Not all
of a large pile of manure is infest-
ed to this extent.
A single fly may carry 6,6OO,OOO
bacteria.
The fly may carry the following
disease bacteria: Typhoid fever, tu-
berculosis, cholera, dysentary and
Summer complaint
The house fly exists only thru the
liberation of men liberation
which, were it not ignorant, would
be criminal.
The house fly is the most terrible
single enemy that mankind has
among living creatures. Beasts of
the jungle have slain their thou
sands, but this prowler in the house
hold has slain his tens of thousands.
OF all vermin he is the most filthy;
of all purveyors of disease the most
deadly.
The house fly is born in offal-
nowhere else. All his life is in
the manure pile, the cuspidor and
the cesspool are his home.

Reclamation Program if
Carried Out Will
Materially Increase
Population
MILLION BY 1920
Predicts Enormous In
crease for This State
in Coming Years
BY o. H. BARBER
(IrrigatiOn Commissioner

II Idaho's reclamation program
is successfully and speedily devel-
oped as is ardently hoped and the
waters that are now running to
waste are impounded tnd diverted
to even material part of the lands
available for them, population of
a million people by 1880 will not be
an. extravagant dream. The present
rate Of increase will account for
three-fourths Of million people by
the end of the decade, without any
increase in irrigated area. During
the past year Idaho has received a
good immigration, but it has not
been evenly distributed. The irri-
gated districts have received the
bulk Of it. The school census pro-
vides the most reliable information
as to the number who have come
and where they have located. A
comparison of the school census Of
1919 with that of 1918 indicates
an increase in Canyon county for the
year of 29.3 per cent as compared
to 3.2 per cent for Bear Lake coun-
ty. An increase of 27.7 per cent is
shown by Lincoln, Gooding, Jerome
and Minidoka counties combined, all
irrigated, as compared to a very
small increase in the counties with
limited irrigated areas. Minidoka
county provides an illustration of
the development of the irrigated
districts of southern Idaho By the
creation of Jerome county, Minidoka
county lost a large irrigated area
containing two small villa ges, but
Notwithstanding this loss the 1919
school census shows SO more chill
dren than were contained in the
county before the division of year
before.
With practically no increase in
the irrigated area during the past
ten years, the school census indi-
Gates an increase in population of
the state of about 65 per cent. Most
of this increase has come in south
ern Idaho. The southern counties
have shown an increase of about 88
