ROUGH ON AMERICAN
FALLS FOLKS

During all the time the American
Falls dam has been in prospect, it
has kept business enterprises in un-
certainty in the town, and complica-
lions have increased until it is get
ting on peoples nerves. The fol-
lowing from the American Falls
Press explains some of the difficult
ties:
"The city has been held back for
fifteen years by virtue of proposed
dams and irrigation projects. In the
present situation the city and county
find the government possessor of
some two hundred thousand dollars
worth of property which Attorney
General Black has ruled, cannot be
included in the county tax roll. This
will entail loss of approximately
$4,000 in city and county taxes, a
loss that would necessarily be loaded
on other property. The city and
county officials are prosecuting a
vigorous effort to meet the situation,
thru an act of congress if necessary
in order that the property purchased
shall be required to bear its share of
the expense of government.
Failure of the project t. mature
within the next two or three N nths
will mean a notica bic read 'ustmeTt
of business in Americna Fails. Thi
readjustment will be entirely war;
Tanted and justified. 1t should be
revealed in consultations and reduc-
ton of the number of competitive
concerns in all lines. The competi-
tion that will be necessary in the
period Of reconstruction will necesi-
tate stronger financial backing and
more comprehensive sales efforts.
con the whole conditions should
materially improve and no agrees
sive business should feel any depres-
sion not felt in any section of the

USE CERTIFIED SEED WHEAT

Acting Field Agronomist and State
Seed Commissioner
Spring seeding time will soon be
here and 1t is we'll to economic
early in the season. Decide what is
to be planted and order the seed
early. Planting of clean seed
adapted to the section will mean in
creased yields and more money to
the farmer at harvest time.
The variety of wheat recon-
mended for spring planting on the
irrigated farms of southern Idaho
is Dicklow. This is a high-yielding,
soft white wheat which has proved
its worth. Experiments conducted
on the Aberdeen experiment station
at Aberdeen, over period of five
years showed Dicklow to outyield all
other varieties 81 bushels per acre.
In the counties where this wheat has
been grown an increase Of from five
to thirty-three bushels increase has
been recorded.
When buying wheat don't buy
merely Dicklow wheat, but buy GER
titled Dicklow. Certified seed bears
q mark of quality. 1t has been Sc
lected from large acreage in Idaho
as a superior product. Certified seed

is higher than the ordinary seed
which has no guarantee as to its
purity. Many growers hesitate to
buy we'll cleaned, certified seed be-
cause of the additional price per
bushel. But II each grower would
look ahead to the time of harvest,
there would be no question as to
which seed would be the most profit
able. Suppose any common run of
ordinary good seed wheat can be OBJ
tanned for two cents a pound. Ninety
pounds Of seed to the acre would
cost $3.50. Suppose certified seed
could be obtained for three cents
per pound. 1t would cost, planting
ninety pounds to the acre, 1910.
Planting certified seed would cost
ninty cents more per acre. If the
Increase were only one bushel the
price of the seed would be more
than paid for and there would be no
cut at the mill for mixtures. The
increase is usually five to ten bush
els. Consequently the grower would
receive several hundred per cent re-
turn on his investment by purchas-
ing certified seed.
Information concerning certified
seed can be obtained from any
county agent or the state seed COM
missioner, Boise, Idaho.
The results so outstanding in the
growing of Dicklow wheat apply
equally we'll to other certified grains
recommended after thoro trial by
the university of Idaho. Trebi bar
ley-a spring variety for the irri-
gated sections; Early Baart wheat
for spring planting on the dry farms;
Idamine oats for the irrigated Sec
tions; Jenkins Club wheat-princi-
pally for northern Idaho; and Tur-
key Red wheat-the standard winter
wheat for the dry lands; White Win
ter barley-for northern Idaho; are
all recommended to be the best grain
available for our conditions in this
state to date.

REMEDY FOR SOME
ROAD COSTS

Mr.. Albertson, a Blackfoot man
who travels constantly over Utah and
Idaho, some of the time by rail and
some Of the time by auto, has
mingled with the tourists and others
until he has reached conclusions
about roads and road costs, and ex-
presses his views in the following:
Blackfoot, Ida, February 3, 1922.
Editor Trego.
Dear Sir:
In your paper February 2 under
the city council notes, reference is
made to improving the city park
for the better accommodation of the
tourists who visit the park during
The Tourist seasons
It occurs to me that the keeping
up of the roads, road signs, parking
places, ETC., all gratis to the tourists
without any revenues coming to the
state from their presence, outside
Of the oil, gasoline, and food they
buy, is not enough compensation for
the privilege and protection they re-
ceive while passing thru.
While no provision Is made in our
state laws at present whereby these
transient road users can be taxed,
still believe in all fairness that this
can be accomplished II there was Q
tax Of say one or two cents per gal
Ion placed on all gasoline and Il
used by motor cars and trucks. The
proceeds OF this tax to become avail
able as fast as 1t accumulates, for
the building and maintaining Of our
public roads.
The population per square mile
for Idaho Is So persons while Iowa,
for instance, has 1872 persons per
square mile. so It does not look rea-
sonable or just for the people Of
Idaho to be burdened altogether for
the maintenance Of all the roads
which are used SO much for pleasure.
Oregon, / believe, now has such
a law, or at least 1t is in the maxi
ing, and they expect to realize q
great sum Of money, some fifteen
or twenty million dollars for road
purposes yearly.
When 1t is realized that this
method of taxation is just to all
users of cars and that the cars,
trucks, ETC., are the benefactors Of
good roads there should be no op-
position to plan of taxation Of this
kind, especially when It is considered
that the money thus raised. becomes
