KILLED BY TIGHTENING.

Robert K. Parker, age, "a, promi-
nent rancher of the Shelley district,
was killed by tightening during the
s'orm of Wednesday afternoon of
last week. Parker resided mile
east of the Shelley sugar factory. He
had been in the habit of doing most
OF his irrigating during the evening
hours and went to the field about
noon Wednesday expecting to be alb
sent from home until late that even
ing.
When he had not returned at one
O'Clock Thursday morning his wife
summoned help and search was
made for him. His horse was found
tied to some willows near wheat
field and search of the field revealed
his body. The discovery of the body
was made about 3 a. m.
He had been carrying a shovel over
his shoulder and it is though that uhe
tightening entered his body through
the shovel. Burns on the body indi-
cate that the tightening passed down
hs leg and out of the foot.
Parker is survived by his wife and
two children. He was prominent in
lodge circles being a member of the

cow FEED FROM SAWDUST NOW

HydrOlized sawdust as a part of a
ration for cows is apparently giving
satisfactory results in Wisconsin.
The Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
ports that cows at the Agricultural
College Of that state are doing as
well on ration consisting of one
third sawdust as they did when their
feed was only one-fourth wood meal.
That is to say, they are keeping up
their weight and their milk produc-
ton and show no i'll effects from the
diet
The Bureau of Animal Industry is
considering the proposal of the For
est Service laboratory to start feed
ing trials with dairy animals in
which the wood product will form a
part of the ration and the tests will
extend for an entire year at least.
The hydroliZed-wood feed for these
cows will be made at the laboratory.
So far all the stock feed has been
made from white pine sawdust. Other
soft woods, particularly the western
species, will be tried in the future.

REJECTED EXPORTS AND
FROZEN CREDITS

1t is an economic calamity that
something over billion dollars
worth of goods have been shipped
from this country to others, notably
to India and to South American cOun-
tries, which have been refused by the
consignees because of the exorbitant
prices which were demanded. Part
of the blame, of course, lies with
those who refused TO accept goods
for which they had contracted but
even more blame attaches to those
orbitant profits because of the neces-
stiles of Others. The shippers made
the mistake of trying to force goods
upon a failing market.
The fault has not been committed
by our manufacturing exporters,
those who have been engaged in the
export trade for many years, but has
been committed mostly by profession
al exporters, who adopted the export
business during the war as means
of growing rich rapidly. These were
largely rank amateurs, men who
knew nothing about trade or mer-
chandising, but who had been en-
gagged in the international banking
business. They rushed in where the
experienced feared to tread and
sought to corner the economic wonld.
They were entirely out of their prop
er element, and they have succeeded
in losing for themselves and for those
Who depended upon them large sums
of money which will never be re-
gained. Nor is that all. They have
done what is far worse, they have
done almost irreparable damage to
those engaged in legitimate export

country into disrepute among foreign
nations. Not only are there Bulls

WARNS FARMERS0F
D0DDER MENACE
State Seed Commissioner Gives Meth
DDS to be Employed in Kidding
Fields of Noxious Weeds.

Boise, Idaho, July 27.-Growers of
immediate steps to rid their fields of
Dodder, according to B. F. Sheehan.
State Seed Commissioner.
"Dodder or 'love-vine' is rapidly
making it's appearance in the clover
and alfalfa fields. 1t is important
that the growth of this noxious weed
be checked at once. Today our mar
kets are demanding high grade seed
and place large discount upon seed
containing dodder.
THE past spring has seen large
imports of these seeds which have
been placed on our markets at a COM
paratively low price. Idaho growers
are going to compete with the large
carry-over stocks from France, Italy
and Germany, so it is up to the grow
ers to place high grade product on
the market 1t cannot be done un-
less the dodder is removed.
The dodder can be removed from
the fields in several ways and prob
ably one of the most effective and
generally practiced is TO cut the weed
patches by hand. Care should be
taken to get all of the tendrils and
this is only possible by careful work.
Pile cut portions on the spot, allow
to dry and then burn.
"The blow-torch is a most effective
eradicatOr. Burning the plants will
remove most of them. The use of the
sodium arsenite has been effective
when applied with precaution and
care. Livestock should not be al
lowed to Craze sprayed areas

TWIN FALLS MAN
ELECTROCUTED

Twin Falls, July 25.-R. G. Cole,
an electrician, aged 43 years, was
electrocuted and instantly killed last
evening about 1880 on the power line
of the Idaho company which he was
repairing on the pole at the top Of
the rim rock, and which it is thought
was electrified by Tightening. Cole
leaves a wife and one son, William
Essex, mother and sister in Nebraska
and a brother at Blythsome, Mo.
HE must have been electrocuted,
though Coroner GrOssman says that
his blood shows little indication of
electricity" said Manager Charles
Nicely of the Idaho Power company,
today, land / can't account for it un-
less it was caused by tightening. The
line was open at both ends and all the
wires grounded. We use small

the end which is usually driven in

something like half an hour and were

sort of grunt the men say and then
gave away. He did not fall az his

outfit with him which he put on hur-
riedly and went up and took him
down. He was dead when Buenz
reached him. There was sheet light

PLAN EXTENSION
Fl. HALL PROJECT
Commercial Club Met Visitors From
Pocatello and Idaho Falls to Dis.
cuss Important Irrigation Matters.

Tuesday evening the Blackfoot
Commercial club held meeting
jointly with representatives of the
Pocatello and Idaho Falls CONNER
cial clubs, the proposition under con-
sideration being the enlargement and
Improvement of the Blackfoot reser-
voir and the extension of the Fort
Hall irrigation project. There were
some thirty or forty visitors present
and a fair attendance of local busi-
ness men. Senator Dubois was the
principal speaker, and other address
es were made by engineers and Off
GERS OF the visiting clubs.
Senator Dubois said that there are
from fifty to one hundred thousand
acres of land lying idle, and abso-
lutely worthless in its present state,
In and tributary to the Fort Hail pro-
ject, which can just as we'll be in a
state of cultivation, and that con-
gress is willing and ready to make
the necessary appropriation. All
that body is waiting for is a survey
OF the lands that it is proposed to ir-
rigate, and the water supply, togeth-
or with an estimate Of the cost of the
construction. Senator Dubois said
that there is sufficiency of water
ready at hand and going to waste for
want of proper facilities to hold it
until 1t is needed and to get it on
the land when it is needed. He said
that the completion of the Fort Hall
project would be supplementary to
the American Falls project, and will
make that project all the stronger
and more efficient, as it will add
another storage reservoir.
1t was evident from the start that
there was nobody present opposed to
the movement under consideration,
and before the meeting adjourned it
was voted as the sense of the assem-
blage that every encouragement pos
sible be given Senator Dubois in his
efforts to get the necessary legisla-
tion, and it was also voted to have
the presidents of the Pocatallo, Ida
no Falls, Blackfoot and American
Falls commercial clubs each appoint
a committee of two, the eight men
to constitute committee on arrange
ments to finance and see that the
necessary survey and estimate are
made at once.
Senator Dubois said that if the
necessary data is at hand by De-
cember first it will be in ample time
to get the legislation early at the
winter session of congress, and 1t is
intended to get the work completed
in time to catch the spring run-off
next spring.
This extension will have ten
dency to lessen the maintenance ex-
pense at present charged to each
water user, as there will be more of
them to pay it, and the added secur-
ity, in the way of always having an
adequate supply of water, will be
worth much to the present water
users.

are dISO Wolves.
An effort is now being made to
dispose of the unclaimed merchan-
disc now stored in warehouses and
docks, and also stacked up on the
ground in South American ports. A
corporation is to be formed for the
purpose of taking over and disposing
of the goods in question. There will
undoubtedly be great losses to be
borne, but it will be better to realize
something rather than to have the
goods returned to this country or per-
NIT them to perish abroad. We trust
that the frozen credits" will thus be
thawed out and that one source of
our present hard times will thus be
done away with.
The experience of these amateur
exporters may prove to be not wholly
lost if others will only learn thereby.
The main dependence of our prOdu-
GERS must ever be the home market.
alton in the export trade. Other ma
tions will undersell us in most things
because of their lower production
costs. Our aim must be to protect
the home market and to be content
with such export trade as logically
belongs to us by reason of our natu-
raj advantages. 1t is worse than
!, fouy-it is AN economic crime-to
try to force the export trade. 1t will
be like trying to force water to run
up hill. There is undoubtedly a
certain fascinatian connected with
the idea of engaging in the world
wide trade, species of pride arising
from the thought that American
! goods, on American-built ships, fly
ing our beloved Stars and Stripes, are
to be found in every port of the
world, but there is even more salts
faction in the thought that we are
able to hold our own markets and to
! produce all that we need for our
comfort and sustenance right here in
the United States where the flag floats
proudly forever. Under that flag
may we ever continue to be protected
in our lives, our liberty and our
economic independence.

Monday, July 25-Another Victory

MONDAY, July Zo-An0Chcr Victory
On Monday, the Broncs journeyed
to Rexburg. A fast and furious game
was played resulting in a victory for
Blackfoot by score Of to 1, thus
placing Blackfoot in first place in
the league standing. This game was
also interspersed with sensational
plays, which would take up too much
space for the writer to mention them
Individually. Lefty Williams pitch
ed this game. and allowed only five
hits to the giants, and was supported
by such fine team work that DR.. Nc
Farland. the manager of the Broncs,
feels that his prophecy of last week
that Blackfoot has the best team in
the league when they get down to it,
has proven so immensely true THAT
he is not only elated but has reason
ITO be for they are doing some real
honest-to-g0odness ball playing.
Probably the feature play of this
game was long peg from deep CEN
ter--home by "Inkie" Thorstenberg,
and the excellent handling of same
by Warren when it reached home.
Also another of Inkie's stunts in that
game was snap throw to second
catching the ball while on the run,
retiring the runner.
Wednesday, July 27-Still at the Top
After an exciting eight innings in
terspersed with some unpleasant
Grabbing on the part of the Rexburg
team-sOme very unfair rulings and
unsportsmanlike conduct ON the part
of the manager and umpire Of the
Rexburg club, the locals came to bat
with the score to against them,
but notwithstanding the raw deal
/ handed them through the eight in
nings, and here l wish to state that
there are few teams who would have
had any fnight left in them after
such actions, they came to the scratch
and after the dust had settled and
the third man was out the score
stood to in their favor-a display
of fight and vim that makes any ball
club winner-and a winner they
were-through clean sportsmanship
and harmonious action among them
selves.
Time does not permit of compos-
ite score or detailed account of Just
how 1t happened, but the score tells
the tale-a few hits, an exhibition
Of daring base running and it was all
over.
Our backstop, Warren hit for
homer in the second frame with Ep-
ling on ahead of him-making our
first scores. Later in the game, Ep-
ling, Owen, Simon and again War
rem figured in turning defeat into
victory by timely hitting.
