der one million dollars in value.
With prices during the past year
far in advance of the prices received
for farm products in 1918, and with
practically the same acreage, Idaho's
losses during the year 1919 owing to
the drought will be figured far into
the millions of dollars.
Practically every variety of pro-
ducts fell far below last year in the
point of production, but, with the in
creased prices, the general average
return to the state, as a whole, was
practically the same as in 1918.

The annual interest at per cent

IDAHO HAS GREAT WEALTH
IN PUBLIC LAND AND TIMBER
State Still Possess Lands Valued at $60,000, ,000,
If Sold and Money Invested at 5 Per Cent
Interest Would be $3,0OO.O00 Annually.

Idaho has sold 646,10S.65 acres of
land since statehood, has piled up an
endowment fund aggregating $12,-
100000, and has still in her posses
sion unsold land sufficient to bring
her endowments to more than $6O,-
100000. This amount, at 5 per cent
interest, will insure to the state for
all time to come an annual income of
$3,000.00O, reducing state taxes ac-
cordingly.
These facts were made public by
l. H. Nash. state land commissioner.
in discussing the 1919 statistics of
his office, says the Statesman.
Incidentally the commissioner de-
Tended the present policy of his de-
partment, which provides for dispos-
ing of state lands at the highest
price obtainable, in order to swell the
states endowments, increase her in
come and reduce taxes for the peo-
pie as whole. Previous admins
trations have looked upon the pub
lie lands as a means whereby the
state should dispose of its land at
ShO AOWOoI pOoSluAO pElC0 III OTuor TO
bring citizens to the state and enab-
le them to more easily gain finan-
cial foothold.
Commissioner Nash objects to the
former policy on the ground that it
benefits only the original purchasers
and by using the land as source of
money for state endowment funds
(and laws provide that none of such
funds can be disposed Of, the inter-
est only being available to the state)
the commissioner believes that Ida
no citizens generally will be foever
benefited
The commissioner favors rapid dis
age of all the farmers OF the valley
that the states interest on the sell
ing price in each case far exceeds the
highest annual income tax that the
state could hope to secure by leas-
ing the lands. In this connection
and speaking of lands sold in 1919,
he said:
The annual interest at 6 per cent
on the selling price of the lands
amounts to $127,125.25, or an earn
ing in interest of $1O7, ,49O.63 more
per year than the land brought in
rentals.
Some highly interesting figures
were made public by the commission

VALUE OF CROPS
LARGE IN IDAHO

Pocatello, Dec. 27.-Farms in Ida
no this year produced crops valued
at 14,684,285, according to a re-
port just released by James H. ia
cobson of the Idaho crop reporting
service of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. This estimate
compares with $115,32S,2S1 for 1918
and is considered a splendid record
In face of the severe drought of 1919,
which Is set forth in the report as
the most severe in thirty years.
The states seventeen leading crops
were taken into consideration in ar
irving at the total set forth, as fol-
lows: Wheat, oats, barley, corn, rye,
potatoes, hay, sugar beets, clover
seed, alfalfa seed, bears, peas, ap-
ples,, peaches, pears, sugar beet seed
and timothy seed. The total acreage
planted to all crops in 1919 amount
ed to 2,320,111 acres, and the aver
age cash return per acre was $3.50.
The highest cash return per acre
was for potatoes, which yielded
$266.5O per acre, as compared with
$14s.85 for 1918. Sugar beets were
second with an average yield per acre
of 1926. as against $309.5O in 1918.
The report shows that $780, 900
acres of land were planted to wheat
with an average yield of 1871 bush
els per acre, valued at $38,345.OOO
or $37.11 per acre.

POISON PLANTS AND THE
CONTROL OF STOCK IOSsEs

The losses OF livestock In the ma
tional forest due TO poisonous plants
aggregate about 5000 cattle and ig-.
600 sheep annually. Considering the
present high value OF both sheep and
cattle II Is Of great Importance To
control or prevent tho losses as far an
/ possible. Tho forest service has nc
compllshed great deal within the
past few years In the way Of lark
spur eradication.
The principal poisonous plants on
tho ranges are: the locoa and Iu-
pines OF the pea family: 10 which al
so belong the alfalfas and v1schau:
water hemlock or poison paranip Of
tho parsley family: which also in
cludes the much relished vegetable
celery; death camas which resembles
wild onion. Of the bunchf flower fam
ily; and tho much dreaded larkspurs
OF tho crowfoot family OF which the
buttercup and tho peony are tamil
lar representatives.
The distribution OF these planta In
wide over tho western ranges and
with the exception of Iarkspur they
are considered poisonous To- all cIas-
ses OF stock. The loeos probably
cause more damage to live stock
than any other single yaristy o. sha
poisonous plans. The iaTkspur which
causes excessive losses among cattle
In the Great Basin region and which
ranks next TO the locoa IL worthy OF
special consideration.
Various methods Of preventing SER
lous losses by eliminating Iarkspur
have been tried. Grazing Iarkpur
patches by sheep (since II is not pois-
onous TO this class OF stoekl. con-
struction Of fences 10 hold the cattle
off infested areas. and ErubbIng have
been resorted to. The last method
has been found TO be the most Of
feetive.
In grubbing the main roots must
be cut out 10 a depth Of about "a
8 inches below the ground surface.
THIS practice has yielded results OF
great economic value.
A mattock with the spur cut of
and the blade drawn TO about nine
inches. or grubblnG hoe with q sim
liar blade. has been found effective
In digging out the plants. For rocky
soils. a pick With one end riattsned
to a width Of about 2 inches. or q
pick-mattoek having n inch blade
IN recommended.
The cost Of grubbinE varies from
$3.50 TO si5.0O per acre. ACCORDING
TO the accessibility Of the patches
type Of soil. and the number OF IN
plants per acre.
