Fire Breaks Out
in Straw Stack on
Farm East of Town

Monday evening at about 945
fire broke out in the straw stack on
the farm of August Hofer east OF
town. The neighbors discovered the
fire and Immediately awoke Mrs.
Hofer and the children, Mr.. Hofer
not being at home. They started to
work with their buckets and sue
ceeded in keeping the fire away from
the house and other out buildings.
But the haystack with two cuttings
of hay and the barn and strawstack
were totally destroyed.
In clearing place for the straw
stack before threshing there had
been some trash burned and the sup
position is that some live einbers
caused the fire ten hours later. The
loss is estimated at $500, there being
no insurance.
The insurance companies require
that the city fire engine does not
leave the city limits and for this rea-
son it was impossible to get any help
from that source. Mr.. Early on re-
ceiving word of the fire secured Fire
Chief Simons and they made the trip
by severely bending the speed limits.
There has been a number of cases
of this kind in this section and
the need of rural fire stations is be-
ing felt more and more. There is no
county or state fund that can be used
for this purpose, but in most sections
thruout the nation these stations are
equipped by the residents being
served.

Iplace. 5
| Mr.. McCracken of Pocatello ap-
peared before the council in regard
to new tires for the sprinkler. The
sprinkler is now running on the iron
part of the wheels on account Of the
tires being worn so low. The present
tires have been on for two years ac-
cording to Mr.. McCracken and this
In his opinion was very good SER
vice. The matter was referred to
the street and alley committee with
power to act.
Councilman Clarke spoke Of the
paving that had been cut to allow the
new water mains to be laid. J. G..
Mcguire has consented to lay the
paving in these places at cost and
the city council left the matter in
the hands of the water committee
with power to act.
The work on the new garbage
will be rushed in so as to have it
completed while the water in the
river is still low Councilman
Taylor stated that at present the
river was as low as it would ever be
and that now was a good time to
take advantage of that condition.
New Drinking Fountains
~ q. M. Kennedy suggested to Mayor
Peck that drinking fountain be
placed somewhere in the block west
Of Broadway on Bridge street. The
matter was discussed and it was
thought advisable to place a foun-
tain in front of each bank providing
the banks would put in the fountains

and maintainence. The matter was
turned over to the water committee
and they were instructed to inter-
view the banks presenting the pro-
position and to get their verdict.

Dry Farm Yields
Near McC is
Reported Heavy

aPOCATELLO, Idaho.-Dry farms
in the Robin and McCammon Sec
tions are yielding crops this year
which surpass all previous records,
according to reports received from
that section. Farmers say that the
July frost, which. it was predicted,
would decrease the general yield
nearly 20 per cent, had little effect,
as yields Of twenty-five bushels to the
acre are common.
Twenty-Five bushels per acre for
dry farm land in this section of the
state is considered exceptional, the
medium yield for fair years being
from tsn to fifteen bushels. Several
threshing outfits are operating in the
Robin section, but most of the farm
ers are using combines to harvest
sasir crops. Practically all of the
l>dbin wheat is Turkey Red, which
is most adapted to dry farming con-
ditions there.

Wireless Phone is
Proving a Success
in Forest Service

Wireless telephone communication
as an aid in its work against forest
fires was successfully established by
the forest service Of the United
States department of agrictulcture
on July Is, between Warren, Idaho,
and the Moore forest ranger station
on the Nez Perce, an airline distance
Of thirty-flve miles. The sets for
this satisfactory installation were
sent to Idaho about year ago, but
were damaged in transit. Finally
they were repaired by the telephone
engineer who set them up last
month. They we're first given a try
out between Ogden and Salt Lake, a
distance Of thirty-seven miles. The
set proved to be in good working
condition and was tested again be-
tween Salt Lake and Elko, New, a
200 mile stretch. The messages
were heard at the air mail station at
Reno, 400 miles from Salt Lake.
The instruments have already
proved their value in forest service
work. Shortly after their installa-
tion a report came from the lookout
from Buffalo Hump of fire oyer on
the Idaho National Forest, on the
south fork Of the Salmon. This
communication was given to the dis
trict ranger at Warren in just four
minutes from the time it was re-
ceived. Before this. roundabout tele-
graphic communication would have
taken the best part of day or even
two days to obtain the same results.
1t is expected that the increased pro-
lection from forest fires afforded by
wireless telephone communication
will more than pay for the equip
mant

Potato is Big Factor in
Putting Idaho on Its
Financial Feet

Judging from a bulletin just Is
sued by the Idaho Reclamation as
sOciation, which states 1t has made .
careful survey Of the situation, VIZ
should take off our hats to the Idaho
potato. 1t has taken the lead in
putting Idaho on it's financial feet
according to this statement, which
gives the total amount that will be
derived by Idaho potato producers
this year at $5,506,000 on the con-
servative basis of $3.50 per hundred
to the grower.
With this start, the procession OF
money coming into the state during
the year will permit of a general
liquidation that will revive every in
dustry and every business in this
state, and start Idaho again per
manently toward the goal every citi-
zen desires his state to reach in the
shortest possible time.
This initial money results from
favorable market conditions plus
freight reduction, and also from ef-
forts of such men as H. M. Adams,
vice president Of the Union Pacific
in charge of traffic, in extending
markets and opening up new mar
kets for our produce thru his won
derful organization. 4
In this connection, it is interest
ing to note from the bulletin of the
Idaho Reclamation association that
cit is not only interested in land
reclamation, but in aiding those who
reclaim deserts to also reclaim dol
lars"
This means that this needful as
sociation is extending its activities
along most practical lines. If that
aspect Of the associations activities
shall be maintained, the value Of its
service to the public will be greatly
multiplied. There is field for it in
the dissemination of information In
regard to market conditions, car sit
uation, and other matters, including
cooperation with every agency that
has in view the disposal of our pros
duce to the best possible advantage.
Idaho, in common with the entire
nation, has suffered from depression,
but its reclaimed areas are putting it
back where the state was prior to
the general slump. We are now
moving rapidly up the hill, and will
soon be over the steep places. When
we realize the value of reclamation
to all Of us, we certainly must be i'm
pressed with the necessity of the full
est cooperation of all our citizens to
the end that this most necessary de-
velopment be continued and our pro-
duction raised to the highest possible
level.

Seven Car Loads of
Potatoes Have Been
Shipped From Here

Seven car loads Of potatoes have
been shipped from Blackfot this sea-
son, is the report obtained from the
local freight officials.
The acreage planted this year was
nearly double that of last year and
it is estimated by the local buyers
that the yield will be about 1900
cars.
AS yet there has been no grain
shipped, but a number Of farmers
have finished harvesting and thresh-
Ing and the surprised at the result.
w. G. Sollenberger had twenty
seven acres Of wheat planted and the
total yield amounted to 1886
bushels. Seven and half acres of
this land yielded sixty bushels to the
acre. 1t seems that the grain yield
thruout this section is going to
break all previous records.

BRITISH STEEL MAKERS
PROTEST FORBNEY TARIFF

WASHINGTON, D. C.-British
makers Of high speed steel appealed
to the senate finance committee to
save them from what they termed
'the prohibitive" import duties car
ried in the Fordney tariff bill. They
pleaded for readjustment Of the
rates SO that they, as Englishmen,
might be allowed ito live, to work
and to pay you what we owe you"
The British representation was
made by Arthur Balfour, heading a
deputati0n from the Sheffield cham
Der Of commerce, who pictured the
consequences to the business Of his
homeland should the Fordney steel
rates be retained.
"We know" he added, "that the
peace Of the world depends on you
and us. We want to do nothing to
disturb, disrupt or destroy that har-
mony which has so long existed be-
tween our countries.

only way we can pay you is in trade,
in goods. That we are very, very
anxious to do"
The American valuation basis of
levying duties as provided in the
Fordney bill also was objected to by
Mr.. Balfour. Such a method of lay

KANRED WHEAT IS
A BIG PRODUCER
Wheat Developed in
Kansas is Better Than
Turkey Red

BOISE, Idaho.-Reports of Idaho
wheat growers compare with reports
received from Kansas and Nebraska
growers regarding Kanred wheat
Kanred is hard red winter wheat
Over three hundred letters of inquiry
were sent to farmers and county
agents in Kansas and Nebraska. The
comments we're all favorable State
ments are as. follows: "Kanred pro-
duces from two to thirteens bushels
more per acre than Turkey Red. 1t
is more resistant to rust and smut,
does not lodge as readily and ripens
earlier than does Turkey Red.
This wheat was developed by the
Kansas experiment station and Is
now being grown extensively In some
sections Of Idaho. Farmers in diff
-ferent sections purchased small lots
last fall. The Idaho Pure Seed COM
pany made a large shipment last
season. This large shipment was
disseminated thruout northern
Idaho. The crops have now been
harvested and the yields prove sat
isfactory.
j. H. Reardon, county agricultural
agent of Kootenai county, reports
that ''Kanred outyields all other
varieties Of wheat in this section ten
bushels to the acre" Certified Kan
red seed wheat is now available. It
can be secured thru the farm bureau
of Kootenai, Lewis, Nez Perce and
Latah counties.
J. W. Webster, one of the largest
dry farms on the Egen Bench, Rex
burg, Idaho, grew several acres of
Kanred this year. He states, "Kan-
red in my opinion fills better than
Turkey Red under more adverse con-
ditions. l have none fer sale be-
cause am going to use 1t all for my
own seeding
"These reports come from north.
ern and eastern Idaho and presume
similar comments could be obtained
from more growers and what fields I
have seen bear out these state
ments," says C. B. Allison, acting,
field agronomist and state seed COM
What the grower is after is larger
returns per acre with the same
amount of labor. Apparently the
grower cannot make a mistake by
certified Kanred wheat
for fall seeding. At least, purchas-
ing enough for seed plot would be
advisable.
