following article for the
mt of peach growers of this sec
ION has just been furnished The
Tinles-Recorder by the U. S. Peach
Insect Laboratory, at Fort Valley:
Unfavorabel weather conditions
have been the cause for very little
burning and cleaning up of wood
lands. brush and other alternating
places for curculios adjoining and
near peach orchards. Frequent rains
during the winter months have kept
the vegetation and underground
near orchards damp so that it would
not burn properly, and furthermore,
to date very little cold weather has
occurred to properly kill out under
vegetation. This burning over Of
all alternating places adjoining and
near peach orchards to destroy the
adult curculios which would make
the 1921 peach crop wormy must take
place before the buds normally start
to swell as the beetles will fOrsake
their winter alternating places for
the trees atthe first signs of the put
ting out of foliage. The time for
this burning is getting short, and
growers should now take advantage
of the first dry weather to burn over
all wood and waste lands, terrace
and fence rows, rubbish, pruning
piles, and any other place near the
orchard which might serve as hiber
mating quarters for the beetles. On
chardists are cautioned to have SUI.
ficient supervision during this burn
ing to prevent damage to property
fences, telephone and telegraph poles,
etc. The thoroughness with which
this burning is done will greatly in
fuence the amount Of worminess in
the 1921 peach crop Burning Is not
recommended in the orchard around
the trees, but all alternating quar-
tiers in the orchard should be d..
stroyed by cleaning up or turning
under vegetation.
Agents of the United States De
partment of Agriculture attached to
the Fort Valley station have found
alternating curculios both in and
near peach orchards, very often be-
ing found at the base of a mass Of
grass. Many other beetles have been
received at the laboratory from peach
growers over the peach belt who
have mistaken them for curculios,
when in reality ther were closely re-
lated species feeding on peas, or
other forage plants. Nevertheless,
indications are that the peach curcu-
lios are alternating in and near or
chards in great numbers, and will
undoubtedly cause a great deal of
worminess to the present peach crop
unless they are destroyed during the
winter by the methods suggested.
A word to the wise here should be
sufficient.
0rchardists are again reminded Of
the advantages of opening up the
centers of the trees during the prun-
ing operation, and avoid leaving the
laterals and secondary branches too
thick. This will permit of a much
better job of spraying, and the
proper air circulation and sunlight
can be OBTAINED which is 50 necessary
for coloring. We must prevent

from oVer-bearing and cause it to

HEALTH RESORT ON
 FERNANDEZ ISLAND
Chilean Government to Convert Robinson CruSOe Land as Such

Valparaiso. March 1S.-Juan Fer nandcz island, 45o miles west of Val paraiso, widely regarded as, the spot around which tho story. of Robinson Crusoe was written, is to be turned into a health resort according to pres- ent plans of the Chilean government.
 The island is 13 miles long and four miles wide. Vegetation is abund- ant. Many kinds of fruits thrive there and the sea in the vicinity swarms with a species of codfish and quantities of seals, according to a re- cent visitor. .---..-s. - :. The actual original of Defoe's story of Crusoe was said to have been Alex. ander SelkirE, one of a crew of buc- cancers. who quarreled with his skip per and was marooned at his own re- quest on Juan Fernandez where he spent four lonely years. The grotto where Sell<irk is supposed to have lived with his man Friday still is to be seen. A British warship visited the island in 1868 and members of the crew erected a tablet in memory of Sellzirk. ...
 Sofne years ago the Chilean gov- ernment attempted to colonize the island and gave free passage to emil grants, but the scheme was a failure and the island now has only 200 in- habitants.

Seventy-five Days
and Nothing Done
BI.ACKFOoT MERCHANTS
STEP OUT

Last month the Blackfoot mer-
chants announced special sale day
when they practiced selling at
slaughter prices and practiced telling
customers what their competitors
had to sell that were good bargains.
In this issue of The Republican
they are listing fifty or sixty articles
of merchandise with two prices at
tached---one is the price of year
ago and the other the price of the
present time, and the firms print
their names to show who will back
up this announcement. The goods
are on sale at the prices named and
it is proof that the merchants OF
Blackfoot are making long stride
in the direction of getting back to
the old prices.
People who are asking what 1t Is
that is cheaper now than last year,
find the answer in black and white
and the goods are ready any day and
every day that customers come along
for acceptance. 1t is a good move,
this second step in the task of get
ting back to normalcy. After the
Civil war it was several years before
anyone had the nerve to use that
slogan, "The way to resume is to
resume but the business men Of to-
day are stepping out in unison and
decaring The new prices and naming
the goods and the firms to back up
the declaration.

THREE ACHIEVEMENTS
TO CELEBRATE

Blackfoot and vicinity has three
reasons for getting fulI' now II it
wants an occasion to celebrate.
The road leading into town below
the Mackay tracks is both straight
and smooth now for the first time in
its history. Strangers can now get
into and out of town without guide
and the home people can get in and
out without getting stuck in dust
or mud. The paving is completed
down to point about opposite Mr..
Kennedy's home and it is very pro-
nounced improvement not made too
soon.
The entrance to the town at the
north is also smooth and straight.
For the first time In its history a
vehicle can get thru without being
misused in the process. A man who
has travelled the Yellowstone high
way Tor years says he thinks there
has been no worse place on the whole
route than the section in front of the
fair grounds at Blackfoot. 1t is now
paved and q walk and bicycle course
win soon be made eight feet wide
between the paving and the fair
grounds fence and 1t will be covered
with clay and cinder and topped with
sand so there will be no dust. In
year or two there will be

THE GOVERNOR MADE
A MISTAKE

In our humble opinion Governor
Davis made a mistake when h
signed the bill making June Is
legal holiday. We had too many
holidays already, and the legislature
might better have been asking a way
to get rid of one rather than tc
make another.
1t so happened that one of the
early settlements made in Idaho was
made on the fifteenth of June. II
also happened that this particular
settlement is still inhabited under
the original name and on the same
site, but that is not sufficient rea-
son for tying up banks, city halls
court houses and other lines all over
the state in these busy days when we
are obliged to meet the problems OF
the day. We are in period that
calls for looking forward-not back !;
a period that depends on action to-
day rather than inactiOn and idle
ness, for idleness is what such a
holiday signifies and begets. There
is nothing to 60 out and celebrate.
There is no reason for calling people
together to review any living prin-
ciple that needs to be instilled into
peoples minds by setting aside
everything else for the day.
We observe Pioneer day on July
"a, the day when pioneers cut loose
from rain and undertook irrigation
and the conquest of desert land a
thousand miles from the sea and
500 miles from settlement, but
when somebody went from that set
Element to start another branch of
the same enterprise in another val
ley or another part of the same basin
it was good thing to do, but not
necessarily something that we should
make sacrifices for for the next 100
years.
We don't like having part of the
town closed UP with a placard on the
door on some quiet day when there
is work to do and no occasion for
laying off to take recreation. No act
of the legislature can create an
artificial necessity for expression of
a sentiment that does not exist, and
no order or proclamation can create
a public sentiment and public need
great enough to secure the observ-
ance of holiday that has proved to
be nothing bat blank cartridge.
We think the governor made
mistake when he signed the bill, and
we hope the people of the state will
ignore the suggestion to lock up and
sit down on June Is of each year.
There is already holiday two weeks
ahead of it and another two or three
weeks after 1t and that ought to
suffice.

TWIN FALLS SCHOOL BOARD
ACTING AUTOGRAPH

1t is said that there is trouble at
Twin Falls over little matter Of in
formation. The state law provides
that school matters shall be made a
matter of public record and public
information, and the statute tells
just what to do and how to do it to
furnish full information to the public
about their school affairs. It says
the board must publish in some
newspaper Of general circulation at
least once year, full and plain
statement Of the finances of the dis
trict, showing where the money came
from and for what they expend it.
The statement must be published in
sufficient detail so that people may
know the cost of the various things
bought-not merely naming lump
sums for materials and other lump
sums for salaries, but giving it in
understandable form like the county
commissioners and the county clerk
do with the county expenditures,
item by item.
The report has it that the school
board at Twin Falls publishes such
very brief report that it merely
shows how much they had on hand
at the beginning of the period, how
much they spent for salaries and how
much for coal and how much for Incl
dentals and that there is nothing left.
That has been the whole story for
years and some of the citizens pay
ing taxes want to know more about
school finances, but find it embar-
RAISING trying to find out anything
thru the board. A school board that
spends $4,000 for incidentals should
not get angry if taxpayers should
get impertinent and ask whether the
freight on incidentals has gone up

was before the people a couple of
years ago, man from the west side

no matter what else we got or failed

About twenty-eight years ago the
county bought the toll bridge west
of town and made it a free bridge,
beginning one night in June at -
o'clock. When the date was fixed
the young fellows of the community
passed out the word far and near for
everybody to attend a dance in the
old Hopkins hall that night and
dance the toll bridge out. and the
free bridge in, which they did. It
was a happy event and the farmers
across the river who had been pay
ing $3.50 each time to drive across
the bridge, saw great light ahead
and danced for Joy.
We think 1t is time to make an
other such happy event and get the
old timers together for some square
dances and the old time waltz, polka
and schottosche.
