DriscoIl Ridge, this week sold a
full blood Holstein COW, three years
old, for $3.50. Prior to this sale
he has sold several grades for 500

and they are costing him no more to
feed them than if they were scrubs.

Star Mirror: The planting Of a
record breaking acreage of peas in
Latah county is assured this year.
Many farmers are planning to plant
double the acreage of former years
and it is believed there will! be less
land summer fallowed than at any
time during the past dozen years.
It has been demonstrated that peas
pay as we'll as wheat and leaves the
ground in better condition for a
grain crop than summer fallowing
does. An instance Of profit in pea
growing is given by 6. B. Lyon,
living a few miles east of town,
who states that ne has just complet.

SIS bushels of Jenkins club whea

1876 acres of peas and the price be
ing much lower, | only got SAG pei
acre for the crop, but that left
good profit. sowed the 1876 acre

If the peas only paid expenses o
