ALSACE BEGINNING TO LIVE
Writet Finds Feeling Of Relief
Pc vading the People Of the
Province, With Reason.

1t is a strange, yet stimulating ex-
perience for anyone who Is interested
in the relations between peoples to
visit the much-contested strip Of land
known as Alsace. The last time I was
in Alsace was more than twenty years
ago. 1t was the day after Bismarck's
death, and everywhere the black
white-red flags were hanging out at
half-mast In honor Of the man who
had made the two provinces a Reisch-
land-part Of the new German m
pire.
Today Bismarck's work is undone:
gone, even from Germany itself, Is
the black-white-red flag; gone are the
Prussian officers and officials, the red
hated station masters. and all the 9TH
er paraphernalia Of imperial German
routine. The older order survives but

letter boxes, in the neat blue street

with a neat new French sign ahxed
above or beneath. No doubt the minor
officials have been but little changed.
The village station master and the
postman have but doffed their German
insignia to don its more e~asy-6tting
French equivalent. But II the men are

JuQosIavia Prosperous.

Jugoslavai is reported to be in bet
ter financial condition than most Of
Its neighbors. Its national debt Is
about $6OO,OOO,0OO gold and the budget
approximately balances. Per capita
taxes are considerably less than one
third what they are In Roumania,
Czechoslovakia and France. The
wealth Of the country is at present
mainly agricultural. Grazing Is an
important industry. Several new fac
tories have recently been opened and
It is interesting to note that some Of
these are financed, wholly OF in part,
with the capital Of Russian refugees
who managed to bring their wealth
with them when they escaped from
their own country.

oughfare between Arco and Blackfoot
should be in good condition.
Next Sunday several men will go
out to the crater road and finish the
work started two weeks ago and with
in the next week or two some atten-
ton will be given to the desert road
between Arco and Minidoka. It is
proposed to remove the rocks in the
road from Arco to Pratt's ranch on
the desert. From Pratt's ranch to the
Minidoka county line the road is in
excellent condition, and the citizens
of MinidOka have volunteered to
assist the people of Arco in the
undertaking by putting their end OF
the road in good shape, to afford a
good road from Minidoka to the Cra-
ters of the Moon by way of Arco.
Men and teams this week are doing
some road work on the eight miles
from Howe to the state highway. The
road bed is being plowed md the
state highway departments truck and
grader are being used to build the
highway up. The material through
this eight miles is natural road ma

THE COUNTY AGENTS CALLS

1.-THE county agent hasn't been out
to see men and he's been here two
years." That Is of the criticism
I hear pretty often of our county
agents. At first thought 1t is a just
one. At second thought it isn't.
I was in Farm Bureau work some
weeks ago where the county agent
was discussing this very thing. Here
Is what he said about it: IF I should
call at every farm in this county and
spend a half hour at each place it
would take me fourteen months
working fourteen hours a day to COW
err the field"
If Il agents did that then what
about the demonstration meetings,
the calf, pig and poultry club work?
The county agent will call at your
farm if you ask him to and if he can
possibly get there. He has been to
my farm two or three times this year.
Once l asked him to come directly
and the other times l asked him to
stop some time as he was passing. He
did.
His work can be done better in
groups. If he can spend an hour
talking to twenty or fifty or one hun
bred farmers it is much more eff
cient thar if he comes to your farm
and spends that time alone with you.
There is another way to get the
good Of your county agent and that
by letter. Do o want to know the
best ration for the steers that you've
just bought? He has this on file and
can easily figure out about the best
feeding combination possible. He
can do this from experiments at a
half dozen different colleges and ex-
pertinent stations. That's book farm
ing, but it is practical too.
Maybe you wonder about your lay
ing hens, or the ones that don't lay
and should. Write him and see What
he says. 1t will cost you two cents
or so. But you can do as o wish
when you get the reply from the agent
The chances are that you will profit
by it.
Some folks think that the county
agent gets too much money for thu
work he doesf He, is paid as mucl
for what he knows as what he doies
He spent several hundred dollars a
least in getting this knowledge tina
puts him in line to be our count.
agent. That must be paid back som
where.
Use your county agent in every wa,
you can but don't expect him to com
to your farm unless you request il
He can't do it. He must spend som
time each week in the office as Their
is much clerical work to be done an
there must be certain times whe
farmers can find him at his offic,
Much information is given out at tn
office. It's a good place to get it, to,
because if there is anything that tn
agent doesn't know he has ever
sort of information at hand for re
erence.- A FARMER

Roads to Central Idaho County to be
Put in Condition to Attract Tour.
iSt Travel This Season.

Road matters in this community
are receiving the attention of the peo-
pie with more enthusiasm than ever
before manifested.
Last Sunday a crew of volunteers
road workers was out in the crater
region under the direction Of j. e.
Smith and the proposed road through
the Craters Of the Moon was widened
and Strengthened Two weeks ago a
large crew was out in this territory
and much good work was the result,
but after men and teams were en-
ployed to fill in the lava stretch with
cinders 1t was found that the road
could be improved If straightenen.
Two crews Of men and teams are at
present grading the low places on the
crater valley cutoff and 1t is expect
cd that this road will be completed
and ready for travel within the next
two weeks.
Another crew was out on the Arco-
Blackfoot road last Sunday under the
direction Of Dave Daniels. The rocky
points between Arco and the Bing.
ham county line were covered with
gravel. A new route wal also laid
out and this will be marked with
guide posts In a few days. Two truck
were used to haul gravel to cover thu
lava rocks and MI. Daniels says tina,
the road was put in 100 per cent bet
tor condition. The people Of Bing'

summer. The larva are green worms
with light stripes on the backs and
have black heads. The serious dam
age is done by the larva which eat
the foliage Of the first crop and de-
lay the later crops. In heavily in
fected fields the entire crop is des-
troyed.
SUGAR BEET WEB WORM
During the past season the sugar
beet webworm caused considerable
damage to beets in Bingham county
altho the pest is not as yet general
thruout the county. They are con-
trolled by spraying with some arsen-
ical poison such as paris green. Web
worms injure beets by destroying the
leaves which retards the growth. The
eggs are laid by small grayish brown
moths on underside Of leaves. The
worm is the dark line in the center of
the back with the row Of dark circles
on either side, each with a small
bristle in the center. When disturbed
the worms jerk their bodies violently
from side to side. The Farm Bureau
will be glad to cooperate with the
beet growers in controlling this or
any other pest.
CABBAGE WORMS Common, Velvety
There are probably three or four
generations Of this insect during the
year but the broods overlap to such
49, ox%o~ &Lo< x,o have A. ,1. -
practically the entire summer and
fall.
Control methods-One of the best
means of .control is to make a poison
dust composed of one part Arsenate
of Lead and four parts hydrated lime
or very fine road dust. This should
be stirred together so as to give a
uniform mixture. Paris Green may
be used in place of Arsenate of lead
il the arsenate of lead is not available
The best way to apply the. dust is to
place it in a large mouthed can or
bottle with a cheese cloth covering
and apply by shaking it over the
plants. The dust lisp referred to the
liquid because it sticks much better.
CUT WORMS
Cutworms lie hidden beneath the
trash or just below the surface of the
soil during the day, coming forth to-
ward dusk and during the night to
feed. The best known method of kill
ing them is to use poisoned bait. The
following is a reliable formula.

MILES TO BECOME CITIZEN
OF THE UNITED TATES

Omaha, Jan. 6.-Max Schroth, OF
Manila, p. l., travelled 5000 miles to
the United States in order to complete
his American citizenship after he had
labored for 81 years under the delu-

United States
Born in Germany, Sehroth came to
this country, and in 1892 enlisted in
the United States army at Norfolk,
Neb.. serving in the Cuban campaign
in the Spanish-American war and
later in the Philippine insurrection.
He had his first papers and thought
that his citizenship could not be ques-
ton, only to learn he would have
to leave the Philippines where he was
employed in the government Transport
tation service, and return to America
to obtain his final papers.
Schroth set out nearly a year ago,
leaving a native wife and six chill
dren in Manila. and came to Nebraska
where he took up a residence i'll

was pending in district court. When
his final papers were handed to him

Under the treaty" signing of
which marks the end of 90 year war,
the city proposes to take over soon
The entire holdings of the company on
a rental basis. At some time during
1922 the electors of the city will be
called upon at a special election to
vote on Il question of purchase of the
