WHAT The COUNTY AGENT
DOES TO HELP The FARMER

have an organization in each commu-
nifty in the county, through which the
county agent can do his work most
effectively. Each community should
have a chairman who is head of what
is known as the project committee.
This committee is made up of from
three to six men, depending on the
work that is to be undertaken, like
that of rodent control, potato certifi-
cation. weed control, or whatever
other projects they may see fit to en-
courage. This organization should be
perfected as soon as possible and
should cooperate with the county
agent.
Now what does university extension
mean to this county? Just this: It
organizes the county and interests
them in common cause. 1t gives the
farmer chance to learn of the things
That are going on in other parts Of the
state and tells him the best methods
to use in his problems. 1t gives him
the advantage of trained specialists
help along the lines of work in which
he is interested. For example, a man
that knows all about grasshoppers and
their control is sent here to your very
door and tells you how to get rid of
tiiS 81 aoouOppeIS anu III InaI way saves
you large sum of money. In the
same way experts on rodent control.
weed control, potato certification, and
livestock improvement are sent here
and give the farmer the advantage of
their knowledge Where it is possible
this work is demonstrated and ex-
planned in a practical way so that it
may be easily understood. If the in
dividual farmer has any problems on
which he needs help to solve he should
enlist tine aid of the county agent; the
county agent is not supposed to be a
walking encyclopedia and know every
thing, but he is supposed to know
where to get any information that is
desired He is here to help YOU.
In the eradication of pests like the
gopher, grasshopper and the control
Of weeds in the county and similar
kinds of work where the cooperation
of the entire county is needed to check
their growth, the county agent per-
forms an important function. He
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1921-07-21

shows the entire population of the
county the best methods of control
and works with the farmer to show
them the best methods of stopping
their ravages Work of this kind
should be done at about the same time.
AT the present time work has been
started on ordering a quantity of pic
ric acid to be used for blasting out
stumps in Boundary county. We are
doing our level best to get man here
to certify the potatoes and l believe
we will be successful. The poisoning
of squirrels is another project that we
are trying to put across in the next
two weeks if the farmers think it adj
visable to try and poison them at this
time of the year. If it can be so ar
ranged, Prem Moore, the poultry spec
ialist will be here at the county fair
to Judge the poultry and give demon
strations in the culling and selecting
of stock.
Due to the late start of county agent
work in this county, it is almost inn
possible to get specialist help until in
the fall, because the schedules of these
men were made out previously and
Boundary county unfortunately was
omitted.

STRUCK BY TWO LARGE LOGS
Occur d'Alene Paper Tells OF Acct
dental Death OF Sam McD0ugall.

Ernest McDougall returned from
Occur d'Alene last Friday where he
was called by the death of his brother,
Samuel, who was buried Thursday
morning at ten o'clock, the funeral
services being conducted by Rev.
Hunter, of the Occur d'Alene Pres
byterian church. The funeral was
not conducted under the auspices of
the American Legion, as stated in the
Herald last week, and Mr.. McDougall
states that it was not even possible
to get enough American Legion mem
bers to act as pall-bearers.
The following account of the acct
dental death of Samuel McDougall
was printed in the Occur d'Alene
Evening Press, July IL:
While unloading logs at about 8
o'clock last evening, from a truck
which he was driving, at the Kirk
patrick camp at Blue Creek, Sam Nc
Dougall was instantly killed when the
two top logs fell off the wrong side
of the truck and broke his neck and
back One log that struck McDougall
scaled 210 feet and the other lilo feet
He was missed when the truck
which he was supposed to pass fur
tner along the TOdu ulu NOT CouhSSt
with him at the passing place, and in
the investigation which followed he
was found under the logs.
1t seems that he took his hammer to
unloose the skid-hooks which held the
logs in place, and that instead of
rolling off the other side of the truck
into the lake, the two top logs came
off on his side, and as the place was
very narrow he had no chance to
dodge. From the position of the body
it appears that he attempted to get
under the truck but failed.
Word was telephoned to this city
and medical aid left Immediately but
the man must have been killed in
stantly.
The deceased was "a years of age
and though he had worked at the
camp only about a week he had made
himself a general favorite, according
to the crew, who gave him royal
tribute as a jolly, happy natured
young man.
He was an overseas man, and had
received three wounds and been gassed
twice. He had driven truck some of
the time while on the other side.

(By R. N. Irving, county agent.)

1t is the purpose of this article to
tell the people of Boundary county
about the things that are being accom-

tension department in other counties
of this state and thereby tell you what
it means to this county.
The organization has a manager
whose office is at Boise. Under him
are a large number of subordinate

gether for the common good of the
state, county, community and the

him is the farm bureau which should

Big Cut in Shoe Repair Prices

Having decided to inaugurate an

$2.75; now $780,
Ladies' half soles, formerly $1.75;
now SLIPS.
Ladies' half soles and heels, former

And similar price reductions in all

GOOD NAMES HELP TO FARMS

1t would be nice thing throughout
the country if a larger percentage of
the farmers would attach some dis
tinctive names to their farms and have
the names recorded at the courthouse.
A good name for a farm adds to its
attractiveness, and is a good advertise
ment, which will become more or less
Of a trademark as time progresses.
A good many of the farm bureaus are
taking the initiative in helping to sug-
gest names for farms, and in this man
ner are getting the work started.

ATTENTION TO PEACH SOILS
Loans Are Easily Impoverished and
Will Deteriorate II Not Prop
erly Maintained.

The best peach soils are the soils
that are naturally easily impoverished.
These are the loans, the sandy loans,
the clay loans and the gravelly
loans. Such soils usually produce
well for a few years. but unless some
attention is given to soil maintenance
they will soon fail.

PIGS IN THRIFTY CONDITION
Abundance of Green Pasture
and Grazing Needed.

Plenty of exercise, pure water and
green feed such as alfalfa, burr white
and sweet clover, barley. rye, rape
and oats furnishes an abundance Of
green pasture and grazing, which,
when supplemented with corn and
wheat shorts makes up a change in
rations that keeps the young pigs in
the very best condition at all times
and assures a rapid growth into big
boned, quick maturing animals.
