r. e. HANSEN ANNOUNCES

R. E. Hansen, the stockman and
garage proprietor, has entered the
race for the nomination for COM
missioner of the second (Blackfoot)
district on the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Hansen was born at Soda
Springs in 1874 and has lived in
Bingham county practically all his
life. He has engaged in the stock
business, both sheep and cattle, has
engaged successfully in several lines
of the mercantile business in Black
foot, operates the Three-A Garage,
and has had a varied experience.
Before the slump in business he sold
some ranches and had to take them
back, he built the addition to the
big garage and now he is one of the
heaviest taxpayers in the county. He
has interests in the hills and he has
farms in the valley, and friends all
over the county in practically all
lines of business. People who have
dealt with Mr.. Hansen know what
character of man he is, and those
who do not know him are invited to
confer with those who do.
Mr.. Hansen says he is ont candi-
date because of any ambitions of his
own, but that a good many men have
asked him to enter the race and out
of consideration for their wishes and
the compliment conferred in their
requests he consented to be candi-
date, and respectfully solicits the
consideration of all voters whose
duty it becomes to choose between
the Republican candidates at the
primaries. adv.

What The Farmers Are Doing
CHAPTER x

learned during the weeks. of June
were that people are raising more
fruit and garden truck than they
we're before, that they are exchang-
ing roots, bulbs and plants among
themselves to get them started,
where they have not hitherto had
them. Such things as everbearing
strawberries, raspberries, multiplier
onions and other things that grow
up every spring and are known as
perennials, and that when people get
these things started in their gardens
and orchards and are accustomed to
having them they are never satisfied
to be without them again. 1t is only
the people who do not know their
value who are Indifferent and do
without them. We found that peo-
pie were paying more attention to
getting better seed, better breeds
and taking better care of them. A
great many pople are just awaken
ing to the value of rhubarb as a
fruit, tonic and medicine combined.
We learned that few people scat
tered over the county haveabeen sue
cessful in raising melons and canta-
lopes and there is evidence that they
can be raised in quantity and sold to
the advantage of the local people
and the people who produce them
During the month of June we
learned that the greatest obstacle to
having these things on all the farms
is the lack of water for use early in
the spring at the time that nursery
stock and other plants and bulbs
should be set and started to grow
ing, that most of the settlers who set
the nursery stock lost it. because
there was not water enough in the
canal for irrigation. We learned
that many people had set nursery
stock the second or third time and
then had lost most or all of it thru
lack OF the canal companies to fur
nish the water at the time it was
needed. We learned from the 2S5
farmers and farmers wives inter-
viewed that one of the principal
reasons that they do not pay more
attention to fruit and farden is the
lack of water to get them started
early in the spring. Things that are
fairly we'll rooted can get thru the
spring fairly we'll without irrigation
and start to building the new
growths without very early irriga-
ton, but the tree or shrub that has
been transplanted and is not rooted,
must have plenty of water at the
time the sap. starts to run or that
tree or shrub dies, and men and
women who have planned to have
trees, plants, flowers, vines and
shrubs around their places and
garden products have so often seen
these things dry up and die for want
of water, that they become dis
couraged and have settled down tc
raising the field crops that could be
raised within that period when the
canal companies furnish water. In
the month of June we learned that
the families that have successfully

Editors Note: During the month
Of April we inspected seventeen
farms, interviewed seventeen farm
ers and published such information
as the public might be interested in.
While visiting those farms and in
driving among many farms we
learned that every farmer was busy
and was planting all the acreage he
had, that he had not made the mis-
take that had been SO often threat
ened, of quitting the farm or just
raising enough to supply his own
needs.
During the month of May we in
terviewed 131 farmers and wrote
something about each farm. During
the month everybody was working
on the farms they were not hiring
much help, but were exchanging
work great deal among themselves
and they were exchanging imple-
ments and keeping them in service
instead of discarding them to buy
new, and farmers seemed deter
mined to increase production and
raise everything regardless Of pro-
spect of prices, high or low and were
squarely facing the prospects that
even tho the prices might be low it
would be better to raise all they
could and that II they had enough
to sell at low price they would still
have some money.
During the month Of June we
visited 285 farms and wrote some
thing about them and wrote a
weekly review giving the most i'm
portant things we had learned each
week. Some Of the things we had

The present administration has
furnished difficult times for the
custodian of the public moneys,
since it involves the responsibility
of keeping the funds deposited only
in banks that are safe, and it is q
wise man who can judge correctly OF
that matter in these troublous times.

established fruits, vines and vege-
tables and other garden truck lived
the best, set the best tables and
seemed happiest. Those who do not
have these things send more money
for groceries, usually owe a large
grocery bill at the end Of the season
and it takes much of their crop to
get squared up.
BY talking with these 433 farm
ers and their wives and listening to
what they told us we have become
convinced that better bulls, bucks
and boars build bigger bank bal
ances and that more fruit, vines and
vegetables improve health, habits
and happiness and make better
boarding places. The family that
makes many suppers Of bread and
butter and multiplier onions early in
the spring and drink sweet milk
with it, get up. the following morn
ing full of pep and ready for their
days work, that those who use rhu-
barb early in the season and follow
up with peas, radishes, raspberries
and other things that are both food
and tonic do not take so much
medicine out Of bottles and do not
see the inside of so many hospitals.
People who form the habit of going
to the store for everything they eat
are generally broke and in debt and
those who form the habit of provid-
ing their table by means of the
garden and the cellar, have foods
that are very much better than those
they get out of tin cans and paper
sacks and are much less expensive.
BY consulting these 433 farmers
and their wives we learned that the
larger the farm, as rule, the less
time there is to attend to garden and
orchard. The larger the acreage in
the field the less time man has for
attending to the things that yield
the best returns. We learned that
the average man who says he can
buy fruits and vegetables cheaper
than he can raise them Is fooling
himself and his family and as mat
ter of fact he neither buys nor
raises very many of them.
