form swaths side by side. With one
grand sweep they finish fast, clearing
the field for the third and last. Fred
West has stored away all his second
cutting in the barn this time with
safety. He and his crew are carrying
the work on in other sections of our
per started again this week, assisted
by Charlie Ivie and o. C.. Coonrod,
both of whom have been moving.
The last few days has seen many in
the midst Of their haying and it has
been fine weather for it 30 far
lake Ivie has been home from
Montana about two weeks nov. He
did not like the lay Of the country
where he landed as it is quite swampy
and said if he had to stay where there
WAS any swamps he preferred the
Idaho boys to those of Montana, as he
teheved they were healthier We just
imE gined Lake let bad case of home
sickness develop which has tendency
to PUT one out for the count about
right when he is attacked. How about
it Lake?
Roy Modin was home a few days
last week. We remarked they all
will come back and he replied, "They
will when they have to settle up like
/ have" This same tendency in
others would lead them to stay away
so it is pretty creditable act, even
if Roy didn't want to see home folks
again and taste home cooking. He
has been haying for the last thirty
days without ceasing, he said.
Earl Modin has been around the
Il = III
chine going after the codling moth.
Earl had Harry Ivie as his second
lieutenant with the squirt guns and
his little brother Wayne steering the
hay burners.
Sunday was day of rest for the
correspondent, so in the brief interim
we hied ourselves away to the pine
clad hills of the Boise Basin. Emil
Stahl was our "chiffonier," as Uncle
Josh would express it, and a mighty
good one, handling the old Hup like
Barney Oldfield. Mrs. Roberts, Miss
Dolores Stahl and Master James
Roberts composed the rest of the ex
cursion party. Quartzburg was our
main objective, which we reached in
time for dinner at Mr.. and Mrs. c.
C. Coonrod's home. After partaking
of this generous repast prepared so
unexpectedly for our benefit we were
shown thru the Gold Hill mine by
Chris, who is an employee there, be-
ing top car man at the mouth of the
shaft. They have again pumped most
the water out of the mine and are pre-
pairing to go in stronger than ever as
they are rewinding all the motors and
installing heavier machinery all
around. The report is rife that the
Gold Hill will sell, but the work goes
merrily on and such reports seem only
hearsay One thing that most of the
people of Quartzburg seemed most
interested in was fruit around En-
NETT. While in this little town we
saw several huckleberry parties COM
ing IN with we'll filled buckets, and
they say they are plentiful this year,
and fish biting good, but we had not
the time although the inclination to
stay longer So we bid farewell to
our friends and relatives and headed
back towards the sagebrush once
more.
The cherry crop is panned out at
last and now apricots are occupying |
the center of the stage. Frank Wills |
has been gracefully reclining on sew
-eral truck loads of these very edible
fruits the past few days as he passed.
Lucky the man or dog who can find
time to sit down during the rush.
Slim Modin has resurrected the old
Buick truck from among the scrap |
heaps and has it purring along carry
ing large loads of fruit. Pretty hard
to get ahead of Slim with his mechan-
ical ingenuity.
Wallace Cannon and his mother
have been enjoying q weeks visit
from an old friends of theirs who used
to be next door neighbor in Payette,
Mrs. Lucy Somers, who is now living
in Boise with her son, ]. H. Somers.
Wallace was in Boise just before the
Fourth and learned that they were
coming over to pay them long ex-
pected visit, of which this is the cul-
mination of their desires.
Chick Rynearson still remains
Frank Suyehira's trusted employe
among the tender garden truck. He
goes and comes in his Ford bug with
the Chinese pheasant cackle. We saw
you out few days ago, Chick, with
two young ladies, all in the front
seat. Now don't be stingy, but divide
up and let some of the other boys
have a ghost of chance with some
of the attractive young ladies.
The Popams, who now are farming
the Nina Jchnsip property, expect
Mrs. Popam soon to start housekeep-
ing for them, as the men folks are
tired of bachelors Life, ana besidess
too busy. We welcome these worthy
people into our midst. May prosper
ity smile upon you and the mosqui-
toes leave you alone until you become
acclimated.
We are rather short of news for our
weekly budget this time owing to our
soiourn aracng the pines and trying
to catch up after returning home, sol
kindly overlook our seeming neglect
this time. But you know one has to
