AT a convention | attended last win
ter several other growers related SINH
lar experiences. One stated that a
frost improved the crispness of the
plant and put it in prime condition tor
shipping.
Last Seasons Tidy Profits
This is a good place to give some
production figures of this crop which
has increased in acreage from half ar
acre in 1919 to a contracted acreage
of over 1000 this year. Last season
Mr.. Shearer raised 400 crates an acre
which sold for around $3.50 crate
His crop of twenty acres sold fol
$4,000. A. S. Saxton, of Eagle, clear
ed $500 an acre. A grower in En-
NETT sold the crop from three acre:
for $21OO. In Canyon County more
than 800 acres were in lettuce las
year; most of this land had already
produced crop of early potatoes
The gross returns from the lettuce
averaged 5000 an acre.
! have found it impossible to ge
any reliable figures on the cost o
making the crop One grower sizee
up the situation as follows:
81 do not believe it is wise to give
out such figures yet No one arount
here and that includes myself-ha!
the work standardized as yet. If
should tell what it costs me an acr'
some other growers might think the,
could do better than that and GU
down on fertilizer or labor or both
The big point is for man to forge
the cost-to do everything that cal
be done to make quality first, last ant
all the time. Then the cost won
bother him. His selling price will GOV
er that two or three times over"
That was the doctrine of the prin
cipal speakers at the various meeting
held all over Southwest Idaho las
winter Quality, first, last and all tn
time! Prof. f. R. Bennett, the stat
borticulturist, has hammered in tn
slogan Fancy lettuce is very profit
able crop. Just lettuce is a liability

WASHINGTON-The extent to
which farmers of the United States are
now utilizinfi the latest aids which in
ventive genius has offered to the pro-
ducing and business world is illustrat-
ed by some facts presented in the 1920
census.
Telephones
The Trade Record of the National
City Bank of New York says that the
number of telephones, by which the
farmer may communicate with his To-
cal trade center or with the great cit
les in which the prices and markets
for his products are determined, is
officially stated at 1884 in 1920
while another authority puts the total
number of phones in all the United
States without regard to ownership
at the end of 1920 at 13,411, 37o, which
suggests that nearly one-hfth of the
phones in the United States are now
in the farm home and farm business
service while SO per cent of the report
ing farms were equipped with tele-
phon srvice in 1920.
Automobiles and Tractors
The automobile statistics are also
extremely suggestive. They show the
number of automobiles on farms ir
1920 at 2,l46,362 while figures com.
piled by Automotive Industries pu
the total of automobiles in use in al
the United States in 1920 at 1904, 900
suggesting that the farmers owned ir
that year considerably more than one
fourth of the automobiles of the coun.
try, to say nothing of the 10000 mo:
tor. trucks and 246,0OO farm tractors
reported in operation on the farms ir
1920. Over 80 per cent of the report
ing farms in 1920 utilized automobiles
Farm Implements
Still another evidence of the dispo
sition of the farmer to utilize machin
cry in increasing his business activitie.
is found in the fact that the value o
his farm implements and machinery
reorted in 1920 was nearly three time.

HEAD LETTUCE

Idaho Product Sells It.
self Declares Writer in
Country Gentleman;
Gives Reasons.

WASHINGTON-The fame OF the
Boise Valley and other Idaho sec
tons as head lettuce producing dis
tricts is heralded to the world in the
current issue of The Country Gentle
man. national farm weekly. In COM
prehensive article by George Freder-
lex Stratton, the head lettuce industry
of Idaho is carefully surveyed and
splendid future for it is predicted.
Idaho head lettuce sells itself on
the big eastern markets, the writer
SAYS, and is destined to become the
favorite salad vegetable of the coun-
try Extracts from Mr.. STATIONS ar
ticle follow:
| have received letter from Nam
pa, Idaho stating that capacious
packing house for lettuce is being
built in that city. This year it is
certain that 1000 acres will be planted
some say 5000 For speed and ener-
CIV in developing of production and
marketing of an entirely new crop in
any district, this probably is the rec
ord.
]. B. Clancy, of New York, one OF
the largest produce dealers in the
East, came to Idaho to talk with the
growers.
"Your Idaho lettuce sells itself! We
have never seen better lettuce from
any part of the country than that we
received from Idaho last year. And
what makes it the more welcome is
the fact that your crop comes in at a
season when there is practically none
from any other district"
He declared the consumption oil
head lettuce in the whole country is
bout 1000 carloads yearly.
Success Due to Altitude
The above high praise comes from
a man who thoroughly knows the
consumption end of the product
And this success is due to altitude
The districts which have gone wild
on head lettuce are Boise. Caldwell
Twin Falls and Idaho Falls, with re-
spective attitudes of 200, 2400, 240O
and 400 feet. While on this altitude
point | might mention Cranky, Colo
RADIO, at 5000 feet, and the Salt Lake
Valley at 1900 feet, in both of which
districts head-lettuce production was
started last year and will boom this
year.
Two points in high attitudes con.
duce to the successful production Of
this delicious salad plant One is thai

mer are highly favorable to the bes
development of lettuce. The other is
that it is at its best when planted il
midsummer, which brings it to marke
early in the fall when its great com
petitor, the lettuce of the Imperia
Valley, is out of the market.
Lettuce stands early frosts remark
ably well. Alfred Riggles, a success
full Idaho grower says:
II had lettuce standing last fall
when there were twenty-six freezing
nights-two when the ground froze-
but the lettuce was not injured in tn,
least"

WASHINGTON A principal
cause for increasing cost OF living

with wasteful practices on the part
of the public, according to findings
made public by the joint congress

Told On Himself

Gov. Northern told several amusing
incidents of his stay in Fitzgerald this
past week. One day he started for
the resldenre where he was stopping
and entered what he supposed to be
the place, but soon noticed that the in
terror did not seem familiar. He made
more careful investigation and found
to his great surprise that he was n
the Ehe wrong house. He was lost in
Swan!
Another time he wcnt to the tovn
pump about meal time for a drink.
Before he had finished, someone cauae
with a pail for water and he very
INDY offered to pump the water. Be-
tore he had finished the first one 4
second and third appeared on the
scene Before these were disposed Of
dozen or more were awaiting turns.
1 ne governor tried to satisfy all, bua
ne had undertaken more than he -
6argained for and was forced 10 retire
from the field.

MRS. BIGHAM'S SKETCH
OF COLONY DAYS

Only four men and one boy had vet
arrived on the Colony grounds, when
my grandmother, Mrs. Speer, mother.
Mrs. E. c. Fox, sister and husband.
Harlin Shanklin, my little sister Alta.
Cousin A. c. Coulson and Mr.. VIM.
Parkhurst, drove into Swan, July "a,
1895
We had left our Nebraska home
making our start for the Old Soldiers
Colony, April 9th, 1895, lovely day,
thus being 3 months on the road, with
two wagons and two buggies, consid-
ering it the best way to bring our
horses and mules.
In quickly constructed building
called the Colony House, my mother
soon had more dodgers and boarders
than she had beds, but some had their
own bedding and made beds on the.
floor of the dining room and office.
thus saving the lodging expense.
A large addition to our building
was soon found necessary and then
was not large enough.
Among those arriving were many
children who should have been in
school. The colony directors gave
me permission to use the old school
house saying that it was a good plan
to have school at once taught
there until Prof. Swafford rented a
2 story building which 1 think stood
near the corner of north Grant and E.
Suwanee streets, which was more
convenient, closer in, and larger. Prof.
Swafford and his school occupied the
upper story, while my school occu-
pied the lower room. Each pupil was
using whatever books that could be
obtained. So it can be seen we had
many kinds of text books, but enjoy
ed this teaching as much as any of the
eleven terms taught in the west. Mine
was the first school taught in the
Colony.
am sorry that at present l have
mislaid the register of this school, as
| would be glad to give all the names.

SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY
A Brief Resume of the College and Its
Faculty-Day and Night School
Now Running In Order

The Southern University of Georgia
is now open in the University building,
corner Pine ave. and Hill Street Day
and evening classes are in running or
der. Although the university building
is not completed, it is far enough adj
vanced to accommodate all who wish to
enter any of the courses. The present
building is 66x54 feet and will accom-
MEDIATE $50 pupils. Special rates for
board and lodging may be had at the
university office Candidates for ad-
mission to any course will be admitted
On examination under the professors in
charge.
A lecture course will be sustained by
the university, giving the students OPP
portunity to hear a good lecture, by
some prominent person, each month OF
the school year. Degrees will be
granted according to the State require
ments in law, medicine, etc. Diplomas
are also granted to students completing
all other courses. The location of the
university in the western part of town,
is high and healthful. The present
building is two stories high, with wide
verandas surrounding it.
The discipline of the school is mild
and in accordance with moral and
Christian principles. Suspension or
expulsion will be resorted to only in
order to preserve the good name of the
school and to prevent other students
from being injured by bad example.
