COOPERATIVE MARKETING
MEETINGS

A. c. Felt. a representative of the
Idaho Wheat Growers association, :.
farmers cooperative marketing as
sociation, was in BurIey Friday, jan
uary 2S, arranging for farmers
meetings in Cassia county. This
plan is the same as Athe California
plan
Among other things, Mr.. Felt
said, 'As long as the farmers per-
sist in marketing individually and
taking harvest time prices for their
products, just so long will they and
the consuming public be at the mer-
cy of the profiteers.'
According to the County Agri-
cultural Agent, cooperative mar
keting gives to the farmers the ben
efits of collective bargaining and
allows them the chance to have a
say in what their products shall be
worth. 1t has proven a benefit to the
farmers and the public wherever it
has been tried, states the Agent.
The Agent thinks the farmers
should study about these questions
now while they have time-or lock
the barn before the horse is stolen,
so to speak.

SOIL FROM ITO IA FEET DEEP;
SLOPE OF LAND PERFECT

Odhley Fdliey Contains dunOS
100000 acres of the best land in
the west All things considered
there's nothing in the world that can
beat It. For fertility and depth OF
soil, even slope OF land, and health
fulness CT climate, Oakley can more
than hold her own with any other
spot on the globe. q
AT present, 20.5OO acres are pat
ented under the water supply of the
Oakley dam. 1t is estimated, howev-
er, that the dam is big enough to
store water for 10000 acres. Or for
nearly $4,000 acres more than is un-
der cultivation now If sufficient
artesian water can be developed,
there is no good reason why an acre
of the land should remain idle.
Fifty streams of water like the
one struck by the Trapper Creek
Developing company last week would
very nearly take care off 10000 more
acres. We reported last week that
the flow from the well in question:
was los inches. That was the figure
mentioned by members of the com
pany, but they seem to have been
rather modest in their estimate.
According to the best information at
hand, the flow is 125 inches.
If so such wells can be developed,
then, counting the 20,500 acres al
ready patented, we should have
{ hegt %, q 90 acres under irrigation
That would stiff leave 10000 Of the
10000 acres to be accounted for
he 10000 could easily be managed
by the new American Falls dam pro-
ject. In fact, this project will be
able to supplyswater for a much lar
ger area in our valley than 10000
acres.
The time has come-when the resi-
dents of Oakley Valley may well be
glad they're here instead of some
where else. The spirit of knocking,
with which many were afflicted a
few years ago, has mostly passed
away The day is near when men
win wonder why they ever doubted
the future greatness of this country.
The former knockers will become
roosters - and crow over the good
things just the same as if they had
helped to achieve them.
Oakley will become so progressive
in every respect that Burley people {
won't tell strangers that they live at
Burley. When questioned by stran-
ger, the Byrleyite will say, mo, I
ion't live here-wouldn' think of
such thingl There are plenty of
lights along the street here, but so /
ar as life is concerned, these lights Y

No doubt when Burley men stop

r Chicago, they will register as

ood impression.
The boundaries of Oakley Valley \,
re pretty well established. On the
Duth, east and west are the Goose
reek mountains; ON the north is the II

HOROSCOPE.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER -. 1921.
This is a doubtful day. accord
ing to astrology. Although Venus
and Mercury dominate in kindly
sway, early in the morning Saturn.
Neptune and Jupiter are all adverse
later.
This day is fairly fortunate for
the ambitions of women, especially
for those who follow the artistic
profession.
aters for publicity is well-directed
and there is a sign read as indicat-
ing large audiences.
Advertising is again subject to
the most promising rule, making
for large returns to all who use
the press.
Editors and publishers have the
forecast of changes due to reorgan-
izations that will be largely prof
liable.
While writers are today subject
to influence making for cleverness
in style, wit and dramatic effect,
Neptune is in an aspect believed to
distort the mental vision.
Owing to this sinister power OF
Neptune the government of the
United States may be severely crit
icised. A foreign nation may Sc
riouslS misunderstood a new Amer
lean policy.
Mistakes on the part of our am
bassadors are foreshadowed ana
one may resign his post.
This is a fairly lucky wedding
day, since Venus smiles on it, but
there may be a tendency for the
husband to be dictatorial and DOM
ineering.
and Middle States will mark the
late winter.
The Middle West will experience
severe weather next month and
cattle may suffer from diseases.
A woman's careless gossip is to
lead to a sensational episode in one
of the large cities.
Washington and New York will
have social seasons of great brill
liancy and extravaganza will be
marked. At the same time there
will be great suffering among the
poor.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should avoid new enterprises. Bust
ness affairs may be eXacting, but
diligence will assure success.
Children born on this day have
the augury of many changes in
life. They will probably be too
generous and unselfish for their own
best interests.
