Heavy Wheat Yield
Is Reported From
Farm Near Jerome

JEROME, dIaho.--On the ranch
Of H. s. Green, two miles east OF
Jerome, on a measured piece OF
ground containing 2.17 acres, Dick
low wheat was threshed Thursday
which totaled 219 bushels and 80
pounds. This is believed to be the
record yield in southern Idaho, II
not in the United States. This field
was known to be remarkably good
before it was threshed, SO was cut
and threshed separately, to deter
mine the exact yield, which has been
verified by witnesses who saw the
weighing and the surveying by civil
engineer. This is the first crop to be
grown on this plot, which had been a
stock corral for one winter.
According to julius H. Jacobson,
federal crop reporter for Idaho this
is the second largest yield of record.
The first largest yield was that Of
117.2 bushels per acre and ~nised in
western Washington in 1895.

EFFORTS ARE MADE
TO REDUCE RATES
v a s t Difference ir
Prices to Consumer
and Grower

The Spokane headquarters Of the
farmers union for Washington and
Idaho has received word from Gov
ernor D. W. Davis of Idaho that
representatives Of the state utilities
commission are now in Washington
in the endeavor to have freight rates
reduced on grain and grain products.
Mr.. Davis wrote in answer to let
ter sent to him and to Governor Hart
Of Washington, detailing the stifl-
ing result of exorbitant freight rates
and asking for stat surveys of the ex-
listing tariffs with a view to securing
evidence on which to ask for reduc-
tions.
A. D. Cross, secretary of the
Farmers union, in letter to the
governors pointed out that the pur-
chaser of flour even in the coast
cities pays a good one-third of his
price for transportation at the pres
ent time. He stated that for the
300,000,000 bushels of wheat pur-
chased by Europe last year, the
foreign buyers paid an average Of
80. cents more bushel than they did
the preceding season.
The wheat growers in the United
States received an average of 10
cents a bushel less. Thus" said
Mr.. Cross, there was an additional
tax Of more than $500, 900, 900 or 81
a bushel taken for this wheat be-
tween the producer and the con-
sumer. The advance in freight rates
last September had lot to do with
this increase and it's result is hurt-
ing farmer and consumer alike"

Engineers Discover @
Lake in Mountains
Near Blackfoot Dam

An unusual formation of the
mountain north of the Blackfoot
dam on the Fort Hall irrigation pro-
ject is reported here by members of
the Greater Fort Hall Irrigation as
sociation engeering board, who have
located surveying quarters in the
headwaters Of the Blackfoot river. It
is reported that on the side of the
mountain, about two miles north of
the Blackfoot reservoir is a compare
lively new lake at the bottom Of a
caved-in pit. The body of water is
about seventy feet in diameter and
approximately 14S feet in depth.
The origin Of the cavity is unknown.
It is presumed by many that a
meteor may have fallen and made
the opening.
The water level is about forty feet
below the cavity edge. Indications
are that the cavity has no outlet un-
less it be in the very bottom of. the
pit. When informed of the existence
of the unique lake the party of en-
gineers went up the hill and ex-
amined it very carefully. The rock
formation is such that engineers be-
lieve it has been formed within the
past year.
