Friday night Of this week will be
red letter day in the history Of the
Blackfoot high school when the high
school band and orchestra will make
their first appearance in concert at
the high school auditorium.
The Blackfoot high school has
done exceptionally we'll the past year
in all it's school activities, having
been defeated in foot ball by Idaho
Falls high only; winning second
place in the district basket ball
tournament at Pocatello, losing only
to Weston, the present intermount-
ain champions and that after hard
battle; breaking even in the triangu-
lar debate, winning from Pocatello
and losing to Idaho Falls by unani-
nous decision of the judges; and
winning one first and two second
places in the district declamatory last
Friday evening at Pocatello. We
have one of the most efficient stu
dent body organizations in the state
which is rendering valuable service
to the high school.
| Blackfoot is one Of the few high
schools that can boast Of band or
ganizatin in which no student ever
played band instrument before en-,
tering. This band consists OF
twenty-five pieces and all are pare.
ticing faithfully preparatory to Civ.
ing this concert. The orchestra is
made up of thirteen pieces and will
assist in putting on this excellent pro-
gram.
This band is the future band fol
the City of Blackfoot and will nc
doubt serve it's community many
times in the future.
| You will miss the best musical pro.
gram of the year if you fail to at.
tend. Boost our high school band
Help us make it success. 1t is your
band for it's members are your boys
citizens of your community.

Band and Orchestra to Make First Appearance

actual practice the policies and
slogan of the Idaho Farm Bureau
Federation: Diversified farming, in
classification and rotation of crops,
the COW the pig and the hen.
There should be six good cows
600 pound butter-fat cows or bet
ter,) 100 good hens (2O0-egg hens)
and two brood sows, which if prop
erup cared for will raise twenty pigs
(bred twice year, five pigs each lit
teri on every forty acre farm. We
can reasonably expect from the COWS
gross income of 5000, from the
hens $500 and from the pigs $500;
or total of $1400 from these three
crops. Seventeen acres Of good irri-
gated land will raise all the feed re-
quired for these animals.
at is estimated that two-thirds Of
all the cows in the state are board
ers; that is, it costs more to feed
them than the butter fat brings. The
average production of fat per COW, in
Idaho, is 1877 pounds, and it takes
ZIG pounds at 80 cents per pound to
pay the expense, Notwithstanding a
farmer has to milk these boarder
cows about 600 times a year. 1t
seems strange that our farmers
would continue to keep poor cows.
and since the average is 157 pounds
of fat, very large majority Of the
cows must be much lower, as we have
found some good cows in almost
every community. In fact every
farmer has one or two fair cows II
they were properly fed and cared for.
Our plans for improving these herds
is thru the sire, form associations.
Ten to twenty farmers join together
, and buy good bull, one that all Of
his daughters are better milk COWS
than her mother, and in the course Of
a few years Idaho can stand at the
top of the ladder. Our farmers will
then have, from one Of their lines of
business, from 5000 to $4,000 per
year. 1t is estimated that from the
fact the manure will 60 on the land,
the increase production in any kind
Of money crop will amount to
enough to feed the cows.

RESERVOIR NEWS

Congressman Addison T. Smith
has wired Guy Flenner, manager of
the Idaho Reclamation association,
that the provision to the appropria-
ton bill for the purchase of land for
the new townsite of American Fails
has been restored and will be in the
law when approved. This provision
had previously been eliminated in the
house on point Of order.
The rehabilitation of this appro.
pratiOn means that the government
will have funds available to move the
townsite to make room for the reser.
v0ir, provided the reservoir project
shall not be abandoned.
This depends wholly upon the in

mean that the propoed super-district
in the Snake river valley would be in
q position to market its bonds under
more favorable terms than IL sold In
the bond market. There would be q
longer period and possibly lower
rate of interest.
However, in any event, it would be
necessary to form the district, as
such are the requirements of the
McNary-Smith bill. Therefore il the

would be just that much ahead, when
the McNary-Smith bill becomes a law.
