Mr.. Blossom said no reporters at

the luncheons OF the team workers.
"How were these 5000 prospects,
picleA," Senator Reed asked.
They we're chosen because they
were imown Republicans" Mr.. Bios
som explained. "and because II was

Senator remarked that 400 miles

children should be brought into di-

a practical farmer, has the addition

the hearts of his audiences and invar-

He upholds the theory that the much
maligned middle man is absolutely nee
essary to the welfare of the farming
community in distributing the farm
products, which he illustrates by a

MANY ATTEND
FARM PICNIC

The farm bureau picnic held at Co
lumbus crossing of Cottonwood creek
Saturday under the auspices of the
Grangeville Commercial club was sat
isfactOry in every sense of the word.
The weather was delightful, the
scenery picturesque, and the attend
ance large for the last hour pub
licity the committee was able to give.
Ralph Pavey, county farm agent,
presided. The first speaker was Prof.
Il. P. Davis, of the University Of
Idaho, who spoke on the work of the
state experiment stations and demon
strated that high class cattle in the
dairy business gave large values to
land, and profit the dairy farmer i'm
mensely through the almost fabulous
returns in butter fat yielded by high
class herds. These experiments are
not confined to the experiment sta
lions, but are being demonstrated with
such frequency nowadays as to be-
come almost the general rule.
Professor Davis was followed by X.
Benz, agricultural agent for the
Northern Pacific railway, who made
one of his characteristic addresses
and kept the audience almost hypnoti-
zed for more than one hour. The
speaker dwelt at length on the value
