Will FATTEN LIVESTOCK
ON EXPERIMENTAL FARM

Professor c. w. Hickman, head OF
the department of animal husbandry
of the University Of Idaho college OF
agriculture, left this evening for Cald-
we'll, Idaho, where experimental
feeding will be started at once on rs
head of cattle and 500 head of sheep
This livestock will be fed out for the
market, the feeding period being from
100 to 120 days. This will be the
third winter that stock has been pre-
pared on the Caldwell experimental
farm for the market. The stock will
be fattened on alfalfa, silage and bar
ley, only feeds typical to the southern
part of Idaho being used.
The object is to work out some
means whereby the immense tonnage
of hay grown in the district may be
marketed at all times at a profit
More than million tons of hay was
carried over by south Idaho farmers
last season, at a heavy loss, and it
is believed that this problem can be
largely solved by the farmer feeding
to cattle and sheep, thus disposing OF
his hay at profit through his live
stock and at the same time building
up his land.
The college of agriculture owns
a half section of land at Caldwell
under irrigation, and this land is be-
ing built up by the use of the manure
from the stock kept there for expert
mental feeding.

The force in the office of lone S.
Adair, tax collector, have just fin
ished up the task of writing up the
tax notices. More than five thousand
have been sent to the postoffice for
mailing. This is supposed to start
the collection of taxes off with
grand rush, as there has been a great
number of inquiries relative to taxes,
and great many tax payers like to
get this matter attended to, and out
of the way, in the first days of the
tax paying period.
The total amount of taxes extended
and to be collected by Miss Adair,
upon the real property tax rolls of
1921, total the neat sum of $597,-
001.39, of which amount more than
s429,000.00 will be apportioned, and
expended, in the various school dis
tricts, highway districts and cities
and villages as special taxes levied
and to be expended locally. A little
more than $116,0000O will go to the
state of Idaho. and the balance will
be expended in the county fund.
