FEEDING GARBAGE TO SWINE
Practical Means Of Producing Pork,
According to Department Of Agri-
culture Bulletin.

When properly managed, the feed
ing of garbage to swine is a practical
means of pork production, according
to Farmers Bulletin 1133 issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
In addition it helps to settle prob
lem which confronts many cities and
towns-that of effective and economi-
cal garbage disposal. The wholesome
ness Of garbage depends greatly on
the care it receives in households Tin
cans, glass, paper, oyster shells, saw
dust. soap, and other foreign mate
rails when mixed with garbage may
cause numerous losses of hogs. But it
has been found that this evil can be
minimized by proper precaution and
published REQUESTS to householders to
be careful.
lmmunizing of hogs is necessary to
prevent hog cholera and frequent col
lection is urged to keep the feed fresh.
Copies of the bulletin may be had free
by applying to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.

beets just what he is going to be paid
when the crop is delivered.

when the crop is delivered.
The thinning, hoeing and topping,
commonly called the hand work is
usually contracted also to laborers,
who make specially of this kind OF
work. The factories agree to obtain
this labor for the grower on his re-
quest.
The average crop of beets is from
ten to twelve tons per acre while in
many instances in Bingham county
as high as twenty tons to the acre is
produced. Idaho is the fifth largest
beet sugar producing state in the
union and the sugar content of the
beets raised here is higher than that
of any other state except California.
Markets in Bingham
One of the attractive features of
agriculture in Bingham county is the
fact that ready marketing centers are
maintained in all parts Of the county,
eliminating any long or heavy hauls
for the farmer. Well distributed are
the marketing centers of Aberdeen,
Blackfoot, Firth, Shelley. Sterling,
Springfield, Pingree, Rockford and
Moreland.
Taken all in all an investigation
will convince any prospective imi-
grant that this county offers q mecca
of opportunities for those who are
willing to work.

SALT PESKY FLEAS TO DEATH
Pests Usually Get Into House Through
Basement or Other Places Who're
Dogs Sleep.

Last year was an unusually bad
year for fleas about houses. The time
is again at hand when, though the
voice Of the flea may not be heard in
the land. his tickling will be felt in the
flesh-un'ess the simple preventive Is
applied. Fleas usually get into the
house from the basement or some
place where dogs or other animals
have slept. Make thorough clean
up. Then sprinkle the floor well with
salt and wet it down-nOt wet enough
to cause 1t to run. 1t may be neces-
sary to repeat this treatment two or
three times at intervals Of about three
days.

great effort being made now to pre-
vent backward step in that line.
Men with means have gone out from
the central business districts of
Chicago to where there was more
room and buildings were not so high;
where smoke conditions were not so
bad and put uD factory buildings,
giving due attention to light, heat,
ventilation and the general comfort
of the workers. The workers come
there to accept employment under
those favorable conditions and they
can accomplish more than under the
old conditions l have mentioned. BY
studying efficiency and keeping the
best of conditions for the workers
they have been enabled to turn out
better work and more work than
under the old conditions have men
toned. The costs have been figured
down to where the Manufactured
goods and the made up clothing can
not be delivered to the consumers at
any lower prices unless they re-
arrange the schedule of wages for
the workers and if the wages of the
workers are reduced any further, It
will mean that they will not have
the purchasing power to enable them
to live in comfort as they ought to
and they will not be as good custom
ers for the producers of the consum-
ers, such as our Idaho beets and po-
tatoes as 1t applies to us. An effort
will be made to establish commercial
relations turnout on the present price
basis assuming that we have reached
the bottom and that everybody has
taken the losses that belong to them
in their line or station. If any fur
Their reductions are made they will
have to be made all around and moth
ing will be gained by it, but it will
prOlong the disturbed conditions. |
The next few months will give the |
matter test and as people see that |
1t is operating and likely to continue
to operate, then larger and larger
orders will be placed to rebuild the
stocks of goods turnout the country
to supply the needs of the people.
The wheels of industry are already
started in the manufacturing cent
srs, but it is in an experimental stage
based on large numbers of small
,rders."

SEGREGATE ALL new ANIMAL 3
Wise Plan to Place Recent Purchases
In Quarantine for at Least
Twenty-One Days.

The proper and only safe thing to
do with the recently purchased animal
Is to place it in quarantine upon its
arrival. Better keep it there not less
than p days at least. This enables
you to keep careful watch over the
animal at all times, and to determine
that the animal is healthy, and in case
there should be any disease, it would
not be carried to those animals al
ready on the farm.

fusely and production as high as
sixty-f1ve bushels to the acre is made.
Much wheat is shipped out of the
county. The county is adapted to
wheat production, but sugar beets
and potatoes have proven more pro-
fitable. Oats are raised for local
consumption only and barley for the
same purpose.
Potato Production
Bingham is a potato county and
the potatoes raised in this section of
Idaho are known over the entire
United States. A baked Idaho potato
sells on the diners of the railroad
for rs cents. The Idaho Rural and
the Russell are the principal grades
grown. AS high as 800, 1OO-pound
sacks are produced to the acre while
the average yield is $50 sacks. They
are planted in May and harvested in
October.
Sugar Beets
Sugar, once a luxury, has now be-
come necessity. The civilized ma
tiOns have become so accustomed to
it's use as an important food that
great inconvience is experienced il
1t cannot be had or If the supply is
reduced. This has made the sugar
producing plants almost as staple as
those from which bread is derived.
q
an important place among the profit
able crops of the temperate zone.
This has been very fortunate for
American agriculture, which needs
stimulation and more intensive
methods. The raising of beets pro-
notes better farming, consequently
a higher return to each acre of land,
because of the deep blowing and the
thoro tillage, SO indispensable to beet
increases the yield of sub
seQuent crops, on the land. The cost |
of these tillage operations, is met by
the beet crop and the increased
yields of the other crops is a net
profit.
Practically all Of the irrigated land
in the state of Idaho is suitable for
beet culture and especially is this
rue of Bingham county, where one
bird of the entire states best pro-
luction is raised and there are at
present two sugar factories in the
county and, as the farming popula-
ion increases it will mean more
actories in this section of the state.
The process employed in the grow
ng of sugar beets is to pillow the
round well, preferably in the fall,
nd prepare good seed bed in
rider to give the small plants a good
tart. Beets that once get start
7ill live thru almost anything.
The painting is done with drills,
he rows being twenty-five to twenty
light Inches apart. When the plants
re up and have four leaves they are
hinned out to between eight and
en- inches apart in the rows. They
re hoed about three times and Gull
waited about five times during the
uMmer. In the fall they are pulled

auled either to the factory or to the
,ading stations which the sugar a
build on the railroads. S

Wheat in the County

Wheat in the main in Bingham
county is raised on irrigated lands
while in some sections large acre
age OF dry land is planted to wheat.
The county as whole is not classed
as a wheat producing county altho

quality. Yields of fifty bushels oil
wheat, twenty tons of sugar beets
800 bushels of potatoes and four tons
of alfalfa to the acre are not un.
common occurances.
The variety of crops varies. In ali
sections of the county fine yields OF
alfalfa and other forage crops and
of wheat, oats, barley, rye and other
small grains are obtained altho in
the cases of the oats and barley only
sufficient is raised for local consump-
ton. Root crops do exceptionally
we'll. In many sections fruits and
melons are raised with great sue
cess, in fact all crops common to the
temperate zone and this altitude can
be grown in abundance. Crop fall
ures are practically unknown and as
surely as the farmer sows and cares
for his crops with diligence, just so
surely he will reap in abundance.
Today Bingham county has ap-
proximately $4,000 acres under the
ditch, covered for the most part by
prosperous farms. Ample water and
fine lands are available for approx
mately four times this amount or ap-
proximately 100000 acres.
Dry Farming
Dry farming In Bingham county
is still in the experimental stages
and has not proven satisfactory
method Of farming. However, the
acreage in Bingham county which
can rightfully include all dry land
farms is so far in the minority that
1t is hardly worth taking into con-
sideration. There is only approx
mately 10000 acres in the entire
county with its 100000 acres of
area. This system of farminfi is one
that must be worked out thoroly
satisfactory in the county before it
Is recommended as a successful way
to farm.
Alfalfa in the County
1t Is safe to say that alfalfa is
the principal crop from the stand
point of progress and advancement
This county boasts Of the largest pro-
ducing area of Grimm alfalfa to be
found in the United States. More
than fifty of the county's farmers en-
gage in this line of endeavor and car
load after car load Of seed is being
shipped to other sections of the
United States from Bingham county.
The alfalfa produced on the lands
will run four to six tons to the acre
with two sure cuttings and in many
instances a profitable third cutting.
approximately 100000. pounds of
pure Grimm alfalfa seed was pro-
duced in 1920 in Bingham county.

Williams Baseball Nine
Has Only Two Victories

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, June IL
Aside from the baseball nine, all other
branches of athletics have completed
their activities for the year at Williams
College. The diamond aggregation will
bring ITS season to close next week
with four home games to be staged in
connection with the annual commence
ment activities. An additional contest
booked to the regular schedule will see
the varsity clashing with the alumni on
June Is.
While the Purple met with only in
different success in tennis and golf, the
track team came through in fine STYLE,
downing Union, Wesleyan and Amherst
in dual meets. The baseball nine has
encountered rather disastrous season
to date. Only two victories having been
turned in.
