The irrigated farm in Washington
consisted OF 800 acres, only about 24G

| noticed in the February IS issue
OF Breeders Gazette an article writ
ten by Mr. Frank d. Tomson OF Lam
caster county, Nebraska, called Prog
ress in the Northwest" in which he
gives an account OF his observations
after spending -four days in the Twin
Falls country OF southern Idaho"
II seems TO me that Mr.. Tomson
got a wrong impression OF the acre
age of our farms here. and the amount
OF labor required TO operate them. He
says:
THE ranches range from 5 10 &C
acres in size. as a rule. occasionally
larger The amount OF attention re-
quired tends TO hold the acreage
down. Four men will be kept as
busy on well-ordered 40-acrs ranch
in a productive irrigated coun ~ as
they would be in operating four quar-
ter sections in much OF the cOrn''eii .
Possibly he received this impress
sion from the small patches of pota-
toes and sugar beets in close prox-
unity TO the city OF Twin Falls. II is
possible he did not stay with us long
enough TO ascertain the absolute
facts concerning our acreage and la
Dor conditions. Aside from this he
portrayed the agricultural situation
existing here with accuracy and fair
ness.
The farms in the vicinity OF Filler
and Bull run from 40 TO 400 acres.
and l believe the average is from so
TO 100 acres 10 the farm.

of labor required on an irrigated

Ing the crop WAS two men, H.

ira help during harvest.
We had on the farm, 20 acres OF
beans, So acres of wheat, % 1-2
acres of barley, l-2 acres OF hog

place was in alfalfa, with the eN-
ception of about three acres OF

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY Is. 1920

An Editor of weekly newspaper
seems to be the goat in his commun-
ity, no matter how hard he tries to
please the people and boost the COM
munity He never does enough or
does it right. 1t seems to be the opin
free bureau of information; that
every business enterprise that hobs
up should be boosted, and continual
ly advertised on the front page I'M
der box-car head lines regardless of
space or cost. 1t is true, a newspaper
should boost and publish the news
of the community but there is a
limit to the space in paper and a
time when boosting becomes simply
free advertising. The high cost of
everything has struck the newspa-
per man perhaps as hard as anyone,
and his only source of revenue is
his advertising space.
The Enterprise has a seven col
umn front page besides considerable
other space that contain free news
matter besides many other articles
for public benefit. 1t is physical i'm
possibility for any Publisher to give
publicity to one half of the demand
made upon him. 1t is not only his
own community, but the state and
Government are asking for free pub
Lefty to bring before the people mat
tiers of Importance.
1t is the purpose of this paper to
give due publication of every enter
prise coming to this vicinity and pub
lish from time to time its progress
and to keep the readers posted on the
happenings in the community in gen
eral In order to do so no one enter
prise or institution can be given the
entire front page in glaring head
lines, especially before there has any
particular development occurred.
This editorial was prompted by the
matter being brought up before the
Commercial Club and the question
asked why our newspapers had not
given more publicity to the box
factory and Sawmill which is to be
established here in the near future.
In behalf of the Independent as well
as the Enterprise, we will say that
both papers have had several arti-
cles covering every step taken in the
matter and expect to publish the
progress of this company as their de-
velopment occurs
1t is usually the man who does not
buy any space in the paper that is
ready to criticise and find fault with
the publisher.
