vices and his remarkable talents and
initiative in inspiring the conference
we know, too, that if it fails England
may have a BRAND case of it's own.
France to-day is in n position of isola-
tion which is not good for any one.
The Anglo-French conflict is not due to
intrigue or petty chickering's. To put it
bluntly, 1t is a conflict for a measure
OF influence in European affairs. And
at world conference France could
count on few friends. Who are they ?
Jugo-Slavia, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland,
Rumania. Brazil and Japan.
European politics cannot be played
with Brazil and Japan. The others
cannot have deciding influence and
cannot be considered to be absolutely
sure seconds of their mighty ally. By
reopening our relations with France
we can restore the equilibrium of Eu-
rope, and for the sake of European
peace France should be saved from
isolation. 1t will be a good thing for
everybody and sound for England, too.
And IL we stand at the side OF
France she would be assured, say we,
against the British. France can guar
antee Russia's western frontiers and
we then can be free to develop a policy
in Asia. and together we can there
enter into relations with Japan and
America. France for us is no longer
a land of perfumes. SHE now has much
more to give us. Since the acquisition
of Lorraine she is strong industrially.
1t is as foolish to say that BRAND was
our man as to assume that Poincare
is our enemy.
I'VE have not forgotten that Poincare
never supported the Wrangel adventure.
Germany is disarmed The only war
Germany might begin would not be a
world menace. 1t would only be final
act Of rage and despair at the exorbi
tant exactions of the French. And the
one power able to prevent that war is
the returning political insight of the
French people. We believe that at least
half the sharpness of Poincare's dec
larations bespeak not animus against
Germany but an echo of Frances isola-
tion. Once this were relieved the world
would hear milder utterances.

BATTLE CRUISERS.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-09-21

Taber is community about
twenty miles out on the Mackay
branch northwest of Blackfoot. Dur
ing the days of prosperous dry farm
ers, good deal of the country was
settled up and put under cultivation
but with the return of dry years
most of the farms were abandoned.
Less than a dozen families remain
on the tract now and most OF the
business houses that were opened
have closed. They have "a two room
school at the townsite, but require
only one teacher now. The squir-
rels are the worst difficulty in the
way of successful farming now, the
weed pest is the second, and the
jack rabbits may become third II
they multiply again as usual; they
have been pretty we'll killed out dur
ing the winter. Some Of the settlers
have pretty good grain crops this
year and number Of others would
have had good crop had it not been
for the squirrels.
Edward Kasel lives about three
miles south Of Taber and is one OF
the most successful farmers they
have. He has given a great deal OF
thought and study to the methods OF
agriculture and has settled down to
program of blowing from four to
six inches deep, summer following
and only trying to raise crop every
second year and keeping the sum-
mer fallow cultivated to keep the
Weeds down and hold the moisture;
he says that two years moisture is
necessary to make one crop and the
moisture is carefully conserved &C
cordingly. Mr.. Kasel makes his liv-
ing from the cow, the pig and the
hen as nearly as he can and when he
sells the wheat crop he has some
money of his own. He says that he
has been out Of debt for good
while and when he sells some wheat
the money belongs to him, not some
body else. He says he has conferred
with good many men on irrigated

What The Farmers Are Doing

farms and finds that most Of them
are in the other condition and when
they sell anything the money be-
longs to somebody else, and he feels
very much encouraged OF know that
he has kept ahead in the race in that
respect
Mr.. Kasel says that his soil is
getting little better every year,
due he thinks, to blowing under
stubble and other humus and i'm
proving it's fertility. He raises a
good crop of gooseberries, currants
and other things in his garden, vari-
Gus kinds of vegetables and some
delicious musk melons. He says he
has tried musk melons for several
years and is convinced of two things
the melons raised here on the irri-
gated farms are better when they
are ripe than those that are ship
ped in and offered for sale at the
stores. He is also convinced that
the melons raised on the dry land
without Irrigation are much better
than those raised on the irrigated
farms. In his experiment he raised
some melons in his garden without
irrigation or water and by the side
of them raised some that he watered
from the we'll and those that re-
ceived no water at all were much
sweeter than those that he watered.
Mr.. Kasel lives at the southwestern
part Of the settlement and his farm
is adjoining the lava beds. The pre-
vailing winds are from the south
west to the northeast and no south
western winds can send weeds
across his place. He has fought the
weeds diligently and kept his place
quite free from them. He says he
intends to 60 on raising a little
stock on the place, raise grain on
most of it every second year, rails
ing some fruit and vegetables and
cantaloups and believes that he will
see the day when the abandoned
farms will be taken up again or re-
stored to cultivation following the

we'll as a potato farm and they plan
to use the produce raised on the
farm to feed the animals on the
farm. The crop rotation on the po-
tato land is as follows: Potatoes
one year, grain one year, grass two
years; the grass consists of heavy
seeding of red clover alone or rye
grass with wheat or barley as a
nurse, crop. The rye grass meadows
are pastured with stock then
twenty tons of we'll rotted manure
are plowed in during the winter and
it Is ready to crop again, potatoes
always follow grass. This system
has always kept the potatoes free
from blight or disease. Whole seed
is always used and potatoes are
never cut as in America before
planting. They use medium sized
or small potatoes and the amount
Of seed used has increased from
about 1000 pounds to about 5000
pounds an acre. They prefer seed
potatoes about three inches in dia-
meter, they find that they can get
the greatest yield by planting 5000
pounds Of seed per acre Of medium
or small sized potatoes. BY planting
them very thick they increase the
number of hills and raise more
potatoes in the hill so that there
are no very large ones, but all Of
medium size. They consider the
selection of seed very important
and say that to split a potato in two
would be to cause a loss in the
crop. To plant inferior or weak
seed would be to multiply their
losses in yield in proportion to the
weakness or defects in the seed. In
some tests made they found that
to plant 1000 pounds Of seed per
acre increased the yield about seven
tons per acre above the amount that
would be harvested from an acre
planted with 1000 pounds of seed.

crops, and their forty acres of corn
in good condition. 1t is to be har-
vested and put into the silos, be-
ginning next week. 1t has been
frosted, and Of course, bleached
some, but they think that what is
being gained in maturity on the corn
will balance any loss on the stalks
and blades caused by the frost.
When it Is chopped and blown into

They have their own thresher out

threshing their grain this week.
They have a lot Of Dicklow wheat
and Idamine oats, but are not rails

They are laying out some feed lots
and are trying to arrange the feed
ers so that less feed will be wasted
than before. They are planning to
set little pine trees for windbreaks,
hoping to protect them and in later
years have this thick foliage in
winter to make a shelter for the
stock the same as the wild animals

In their big half timbered pastures
they have rich heritage, and some
hawthorn trees loaded with great
quantities of gruit. They expect to
protect these trees and bushes and
keep as much of it as they can in its

that the farm was visited annually

"Hasty" Hanson and Walt Nc

last Monday morning when they
attempted to go from here to Lew

sized just opposite the Mcdowell

the icy water OF the Potlatch. They
can both SWIM like ducks which
prevented comedy from resulting

making voyage from the Potlatch
metropolis to Idaho's only seaport
town. 1t was to he pleasure trip
and the plans included nothing that
would tend to mar the placid pro-
gress of their journey. They left
port, md the cheers and well-wlshes
of their friends who went down to
the dock to bid them their last good
byes.
For fully half a mile everything
was lovely. They were both sit
ting pretty" and calmly smoking
their pipes when the boat dritted
into an eddy and was capslzed with
out warning or provocation. Walt
was the first one to reach land. He
looked around for his companion IN
distress, but could see nothing of
him for some time. He began to
worry for his safety, but his fears
were hanlshed when "Hasty" swan
out from under a big drift where
he had lodged.
Their lives being safe, nothing
further was lacking to make them
comfortable except a fire. They
found after considerable exploring
that they had landed upon an island
completely surrounded by water.
Their signals of distress were OBJ
served by l.. E. Mcdowell who tleC

Paid Off Another Thousand
Dollar Water Bond.

At the regular monthly meeting
of the town council, number of
matters were discussed and disposed
of, the session lasting until late
hour.

first official acts was to present to
the council motely collection of
shovels, relics of prehistoric age
which have been used here year after
year until there was very little left
OF the original material from which
they were made. The council, after
due consideration, placed them
upon the retired list.
A communication was received
from A. V. Dunkle in which he
brought to the attention of the
council an electrically operated pipe
locator. There is no map or out
line of the Kendrick water system,
so that it is often necessary IN To-

various spots until 1t is finally
found. The pipe locator has re-

When the locator is held over the
ground under which the pipe is
buried, 1t produces buzzlng sound.
As soon as it is moved away from
the pipe the buzzing stops. The de-
clsion as to whether the town should
purchase the locator, was lett to the
water committee.
