Southern Idaho" In speaking OF his
arrival in Moscow he mentioned the
better fellowship now existing be-
tween northern and southern ldaho

shown by increased attendance OF
students from that section in the past
two years.
In commenting on general business
conditions in southeastern IdahO Sena-
for Yeaman in speaking to repre-
sentative of The StarMirrOr said:
"The sugar situation in southern
idaho is yery doubtful. Under pres
.ent conditions the sugar companies
cannot pay more than S. a ton and on
this basis the growers will not con-
tinue their production. III the sugar
growers and manufacturers are sue
cessful in obtaining their three cent
tariff on sugar the manufacturers
will be able to pay 81 ton. on TINS
basis the growers will receive a falr
margin on their investment.
Increased Wheat Acreage
"The low price to the growers at
tha nresent time will of necessity re-
SrIt in an increased acreage in south
eastern Idaho in wheat and potatoes.
.eWool has come back and thls
counled with the great shortage OF
sheen and particularly breeding lambs
makes a bright spot in southern Ida
no agricultural conditions.
.oThe people have become convinced
of tha advantages of diversified farm
mo as evidenced by the general ten
doncv to clft down larger holdings to
An and 60 acre tracts More interest
is being shown in dairying and poul-
trv raising with some little interest
in the head lettuce industry.
Lots of Cold Weather
seve have experienced the coolest
weather in southeastern ldaho ~
Years with an average temperature at
night since Christmas OF ~ pelow
zero The weather observer has even
gone as far as to record "a below on
one night.
"Horse power is coming back on
the farms. Farmers are using hors>
instead of trying experiments win
high priced tractors and gasollne
power machinery. AS result there
is strong demand for good morse
stock and as there has been no morse
breeding in the last few years, young
work stock is very saleable.
