The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1920-01-02

Mr.. BRYAN is not yet an avowed
presidential candidate but there is
talk that he will in due course be-
come one.
Former Governor Joseph w. Folk
of Missouri gave a dinner here re-
Gently, attended by large number
of democratic senators and others. Mr.
Bryan spoke at length. He was, in
fact, the guest of honor.
Mr.. Bryan was extolled in the eve
ning's speechmaking and following on
the dinner it came out that he coun-
seled the ratification OF the peace
treaty even if reservations had to be
accepted. Outwardlv praising the
president he nevertheless made II
clear he was not for the mo conces-
sion" plan of Mr. Wilson. 1t seems
Mr.. Bryan does not believe the demo-
Gratis stand any show of getting any
where next year with the treaty as an
issue.
Emergencc of Mr.. Bryan at this par
ticular time is deemed peculiarly sig
nificant here. 1t is taken to mean,
among other things that Mr.. Bryan,
looking at such matters as the recent
elections, the Lane resignation, and
much else that might be cited, be-
lieves the Wilson administration is
heading rapidly for the political rocks.
II is evident Mr.. Bryan believes the
Wilson leadership is losing its grip.

TEST SULPHUR
As FERTILIZER
Idaho Farms May Need
Material Is Special
ists' Belief

Boise, Ida, Jan. l.-Considerable in
terest has been aroused throughout
the southern part of idaho in the use
OF sulphur as fertilizer, according to
T.. B. Hitchcock, soils specialist of the
University of Idaho extension divis-
ion, who says this interest has been
brought about by the results obtained
through the use of sulphur in the
state of Oregon.
According to +. L. Ballard, assist
ant county agent leader for Oregon,
says Mr.. Hitchcock, "Deschutes coun-
ty alone used 10 carloads of sulphur
on 5000 acres in 1919, which gave them
an increased yield Of 5000 tons. Fig
uring hay at $40 per ton this meant
$4,000 additional wealth to the coun-
ty. klamath county produced 400
additional tons by using sulphur. Blue
Mountain section and Columbia Basin
are obtaining nearly as favorably re-
suits. The experiment. station OF
southern Oregon has results to show
that alfalfa yields can be increased
from 10 per cent to 100 per cent.
Try Out Method.
In order to have some idea as to
what effect sulphur will have upon the
soils of Idaho demonstration work has
been started through the farm bur-
eaus in seven different counties with
approximately three demonstrators in
each county. Applications are being
made ct the rate Of 100 pounds to the
acre. The plots vary in size from one
to four acres.
In addition to using sulphur, land
plaster is also being used by the same
demonstrators at the rate of 200 lbs.
to the acre, due to the fact that land
plaster is another source of sulphur.
The demonstrations are SO placed that
they represent fairly well the different
soil types in each county.
Soil Makes Difference.
According to statements made by
by the use of sulphur depended very
largely on the type Of soil on which
the treatments were made. Ashy soils
containing considerable lime seemed
to give the best results.
one of the essential plan. food ele-
ments. 1t was also believed tina,
there were sufficient quantities pres
ent in the soil for crop growth until
it was discovered by Hart and Pet
erson of Wisconsin that the method
used for chemical analysis was faulty
and did not show the correct quantity
o fsulphur removed from the soil by
various crops. Taking into consider.
alton the amount OF sulphur used b,
the crops plus the amount OF sulphur
lost in drainage water, there is very
great possibility that many of our soil.
are deficient in sulphur.

CONSTITUTION OF IMMENSE
RESERVOIR BELIEVED NOW
TO BE CERTAIN,

The construction of the immense
reservoir at American Falls which
means SO much to southern Idaho is
practically assured in the information
given out by the representative oil
The Statesman in Idaho Falls who
says:
Federal, state and district offic-
ials of the reclamation service met
here Tuesday with the executive COM
mittee of the Water-Users' association
of the upper Snake river valley, in the
matter of the construction of the dam
at American Falls, and made the
statement to the committee that if
the contract as submitted by the rec
lamation department is acceptable to
the water users, construction on the
dam and reservoir site can begin at
once and be completed by 1923. Pre-
llminary surveys are being made at
the present time.
Ask Big Appropriation.
The officials present stated that
every effort is to be made in inter-
esting congress in making an appro-
rriation sufficient to build dam that
will care for all of the surplus water
of the river, as the construction cost
per acre foot will be much cheaper.
The statement was made that 60O,-
600 acre feet of water had been as
sured and the service would build a
dam big enough to conserve tina,
amount of water.
Completed the reservoir would hole
enough water to take care of project.

'CAN VISUALIZE
LIFE OF HORSE
Museum Exhibit Permits Trac-
ing History Of Present
Species

Walla Walla-An interesting addi-
ton has recently been made to the
biological museum of Whitman col
lege. 1t consists of models of the
heads of ancient horses and brings to
practical completeness the museum
exhibit which traces the development
of the horse. People of American,
and especially of Oregon, will be in
terested in such an exhibit, because
the remains of ancient horses have
been found in large numbers in the
western part of the United States, es-
pecially in the John Day region.
The first horse, the little Echippus,
was a foz in size and had four toes,
and from it the modern horse has de-
veloped up to the draft horse of mod
ern times, with a head larger than
the entire body of its early ancestor
and with only a single toe on each
foot. After the four toed horse came
the three toed horse, which had q
slightly larger head. The three toes
were not of the same size, the middle
toe being larger with small toe or
each side.
Later the small toes were liftet
from the ground, and resembled the
present small toes on the back side
of cows foot The head Of thi.
three-toed horse is larger, the teeth
longer, and the whole animal more
like the modern horse, though of the
size of a Shetland pony. This horse
was the immediate ancestor of the
modern horse, which shows small
splint bones on the legs, remnant.
of the once useful extra toes ane
bones to which they were attached.
When the horse has become an ex
tinct animal, as it threatens to become
driven out by the automobile and thu
tractor, it will be possible for tn,
scholar of the future to study its en-
tire historical development. The col
lege museum, in addition to its ex
hibit of models, possesses series o
lantern slides which show entire skel
eton of horse, both ancient and mod
ern, and their near relative.

AMERICAN LEGION DRIVE
Membership Campaign of Local Post
Should be Supported by All
Americans.

The big membership campaign be-
ing inaugurated by Walter L. Bennett
Post No. II, American Legion, of La
mar, is being actively conducted by
the new officers and it is hoped that
the returns by the time the big ban
quet is held on January 18th will find
the membership roll over two hundred.
The fine spirit of Americanism these
young men displayed not only in
France and in camp, but in private
life since their discharge entities them
to the support and encouragement Of
all good citizens. They in the COM
ing years must take the part which
for nearly forty years the G. A. r..
organization filled in the public and
business life of our country. They
have started out animated by the same
zeal and devotion to American ideals
and governmental principles, and il
will be largely through their organized
efforts that in times of stress the bal
ance will be kept in favor of law and
order. They have proved this already
in the turbulent times of the past
year and in the defeat of those who
contemplated a change in our form of
government. They are the best hope
of the future Americanism and should
receive every help possible in build
ing up a strong local post. The strong
er il is the better off our city will be
in the future
