first of the week few specimens of
cotton grown by him in his garden
last summer. He secured a few
seed from Mrs. Geo. Helfert who
brought them from the south, and
planted them. About 20 plants
came up from the seed and grew
from 2 to feet high, he says, and
were pretty we'll developed when
the early. frost nipped them last
fall. The ball in which the cotton
is encased was developed to point
where it was almost ready to burst
where it was open as is the case
when the cotton plant natures and
had the frost not come for short
time later the cotton would have
doubtless matured. However. the
specimens brought to the Record
Office were plucked and laid away
and seem to have matured fairly
we'll, the outside covering bursting
open exposing nice ball OF cotton
which to all appearances is a good
quality of cotton. Mr.. Smith also
raised some sweet potatoes which
did we'll considering the unfavor-
able weather conditions last year.
Genesee. News: Farmers of the
Genesee country to the number of
about $50 gathered at the opera
house Saturday afternoon to hear
the plan of the Idaho Wheat Grow
ers association discussed. H. Jur-
genson Of Wilbur. WASH, and Mr..
Goldsmith of San Francisco, who
is identified with the cooperative
selling associations of California,
presented the plan in detail.
Mr.. Goldsmith and others ac-
qualnted with the cooperative plan
of marketing, came into the north
west to assist in the organization of
the wheat growers and meetings
have been held in all the principal
wheat growing sections of this state
and Of Washington.
The plan, which is practically
that adopted by the Fruit Growers
Association of California, has elicit
ed great deal of interest wherever
presented. The members of the
Genesee Farmers union, as a whole,
are favorable to the plan and there
are other farmers, who are not
members of the union, who are also
in favor of it. The wheat that has
been signed for here will reach
about 100, 900 bushels, as estimate d
on the crop of 1918, or what they
raise. The prospects are that
practically all farmers here will
sign up their wheat. The pledges
have been drawn to run for perioo
OF six years, the purpose being tc
pool the wheat crops and sell dir
ect to the exporters and millers. A
minimum of 100000 bushels ha:
been set for the northwest states
but 1T is expected that the poolec
grain will be more than the requir.
ed amount.
1t is subject that should receive
the most careful consideration from
every wheat grower in the com
munitv.

Deary Press: Hjalmer Osterberi

ing machine operator, has pu
chased the timber on the PETE
Skjarve eighty on Pine Creek, SON
