Can't Sell Dried Prunes

j. l.. Johnson was in Kendrick
Wednesday with sample of prunes
that he raised and dried on his
place on the point of American
ridge. They were extra fine quail
lty. He weighed a small sack of
them and found they averaged q
prunes to the pound. He has been
selling few of them locally tor IL
cents a pound but cannot tiEd an
outside market for them. He has
about four tons of the dried fruit.
Four years ago he set out prune
orchard on the northeast slope .ot
his place. These trees began bear
ing this year, some of them having
as high as fifty pounds to tree
and TIE quality of the fruit was
exceptionally fine. The soil in the
orchard is a rich ashy loan anC
seems to be particularly adapted tC
the raising of prunes.

Owl Electrocuted

1t hardly seems possible that an
hoot owl could stop the
Kendrlck flour mill, put out all of
the lights in kendrick and cut off
the power on the power line be-
tween Kendrick and Troy. Never
theless, such is the case. Tuesday a
large owl "llt" CD the light line in
front of Claus Eichner's house on
American ridge. 1t is presumed
he spread his wings and touched
both hign tension wires. At any
rate he was electrocuted and dur
ing the process the switch was
"kicked out" here at the local
switchboard, shutting off the elec-
trio power in Kendrick. Twice the
switch was thrown out before it
was learned what caused it. After
the owl was electrocuted he hung
suspended from the wire Dy both
feet. Latter the. wind blew his
wings against the wires, causing
the switch to be thrown out a second
time.

Crocker Lost Hound

A week ago Sunday, Frank Crock
er and Harry Fowler went after
coyotes with their hounds. Each
had one hound which he valued very
highly as they are extra good ones.
Ihe dogs got on trail and follow
ed 1t out of the country. Neither
hound came home until the first of
this week Harry Fowler's dog re-
turned. Nothing has been heard OF
the other hound and Mr.. Crocker is
anxious about him as he was val
liable dog-worth at least 500.
Mr.. Crocker had him assessed and
is paying taxes on HIM, so that If
anyone has him tied up and is try
ing to keep him, 1t would be gooo
idea to let him loose.
These hounds have been worth {
great deal to this community and
anyone who can give Mr.. CrocSel
information as to the whereabout
of his hound will be doing the en-
tire community favor.

Kids Defeat Cubs

In a very interesting game played
here last Saturday evening at the
high school gymnasium. the Kend-
rick Kids won their second game of
the season from the Moscow Cubs
by a score of 81 to IS. Both teams
played good game and number
of sensational plays wlere made by
both the Cubs and the Kids. Egnaz
FIaig was the most consistent point
winner for Kendrick, throwing most
of the baskets for his team. Billy
Frazer, the smallest member of the
Cubs, played the feature game OF
the evening. He only played the
second half of the game, but for
his size he was wonder. If the
Cubs had had more just like him
the score would have been reversed.

Idaho Farm Bureau

Nampa, Idaho The Idaho Farm
Bureau Federation, at It's annual
meeting here, in connection with
the state seed show, January 10 to
IA, discarded it's old constitution
and adopted new one. which will
permit it to engage actively in i'm
proving market and transportation
conditions, or even to enter the
business field itself for the market
ing of farm products, if it so de-
sires.
The state federation made itself
Independent of public funds by en-
powering the executive committee
to employ paid secretary, and
other employees. rather than de-
pending on the director of exten-
sion to serve as secretary, as here
tofore.
County farm bureaus will continue
to cooperate with the university
extension division and the United
States Department of Agriculture
as formerly, and the delegates pas
sed a resolution which stated that,
despite their approval of public
economy, they went on record as
tavoring the most systematic con-
sideration of the budget for the
university and the extension de-
partment. 1t was decided that a
legislative committee should be
sent to the capital to see that this
matter was pressed.
"There will be concert of think
ing and planning and fighting by
the American farm forces, such as
we never have known said W. S.
Shearer. OF Lewiston, IN reporting
the Indianapolis meeting of the

four districts from each of which

Over The County

Deary Press: During l9ZU the
Deary creamery paid the farmers
$4,000 for butterfat. In such a
Duntry as this the monthly dis
ibursements should be not less than
$1,000 a month. There are hund-
reds of farming sections all over
the United States that became pros
porous only after they began to
make a speciality Of dairying, and
one of the mysteries of the times
is the fact that farm bureaus and
agricultural colleges do not push
this industry more. If one half
the energy that has been spent in
general farming here during the
past ten years had been intelligent
ly devoted to building up dairy
industry we should by now have
had the richest section IN the north
west.

The question of better roads in rural communities

Under the new regime of Will Hays efforts are
being made to humanize the postal service Mr. Hays

getting the other fellows viewpoint. He went to
the New York and Chicago postofices and met about
$4,000 employees and personally about 1900 at
Washington The national officers of the seven postal
organizations and their local officers from all over the
United States were invited to Washington by Mr.. Hays
in order that he might meet them personally and get
the employees viewpoint improving working condi-
tions and the mail service Postmasters and division
superptendents Of the railway mail service were called
to Washington in order that their viewpoint might be
obtained Then Mr.. Hays had the officials including
his assistants and the of the employees
meet in a sort Of family "get together" group in
which all sides of questions were discussed The
capstone placed the cooperative policy by
Mr. Hays in instructions to all postmasters authorizing
them to grant hearings employees or
Of enployes matters affecting, the employees or the

been fully informed that from henceforth the postal
service is to be partnership matter in which every
person in it. and including the public, has . part.
