f n aooD CONDITION
Boise Visitor Tells of Bingham
County's Production Of Grimm
Alfalfa Seed and Other u
Products. --

Bingham county, in which Black
foot Is the county seat, raises more
than one-half of all the Grimm alf-
alta seed grown in the United States.
according to T. G. Mays of Black
foot who is a guest at the Owyhee
hotel. lone man sold more than
$4,000 worth grown on his arnch.'
said Mr.. Mays, In speaking of Black
foot and its products. 1--WE have
been q little more conservative in
our city than many other cities OF
the state and consequently we are
not in such a bad financial condi-
Htion. While spuds, alfalfa and su-
gar beets are our principal crops we
also have considerable dairying. The
plan of Boise valley and southern
Idaho sections for diversified farm
ing has been practiced for a long
while in our section. And we still
continue to ship in more dairy stock
TO take care of our alfalfa hay.
Sugar beets have always proven
profitable in our section, in fact
there are five sugar factories quite
close together there. There is one
at Blachfoot, II at Rigby, Idaho
Falls, briggs and Sugar City.
This American Falls proposition
if it goes Though will help us con-
siderable. AS I understand it the
lake formed by building this dam
will back up almost to B~lackfoot.
The Fort Hall project will also mean
much to us. Yes, reviewing bust
ness conditions in Blackfoot and vi
cinity l think hat section is in fair
ly good condition. Co"7idering the
hogs raised there, the dairying, SUI
gar beet crop, potatoes and the
Grimm alfalfa seed grown as we'll as
many other crops we have. we Ger
tain1y should not feel pessimistic.
"Balckfoot did quite a bit of paw
ing last summer but outside OF that
we have not gone in very heavily on
%expenses. And Blackfoot needed
the paving. We have some very fine
roads in that section nav"
Mr.. Mays is with a wholesale coal
concern. A need Of Boise papers in
Blackfoot carrying happenings Of
the state was expressed by him. At
the present time Boise papers IRE
not seen to any gerat extent in that
city, he said.-Evening Capital

UNCLE JOHNS POEM
l T VS.. COUNTRY.

You can fool around the city, till
you're old enough to die, with yer
soul a-gettin' smaller every minnit;
you'll ketch yourself a-longin' fer a
stretch of azure sky, OF a medder
with some clover-blossoms in it. You
a hang around the shady-spots an
loafer dens Of town, tryin' 10 make
EN- think you are contented,-but
don't you sorter realize you're tryin'
to swaller down as big a lie as eve
was invented?
You can jog around the pavement,
not enjoyin' any load, an pretend
that you are happy though retired,
but, blame it all, you'd ruther trot
along a country road, whene license
an policemen amt required. You
can speed up all you want to. or
slow up like a snail, or take a nap
i reckon If you'er sleepy,-you
dream about the city man a-sweatin'
in his Jail, an the very idea starts
you feelin' creepy. Now listen to a
Teller that is able TO advise,-it
wouldn't be the truth il I denied 1t,
the little farm you live on is next
to Paradise-don't pine fer city life
until you've tried It.

ROMANCE DIES EVERY YEAR

Every now and then some wiseacre has a
blue day and tries to take it out on the race by
chroniclng the death of romance. The latest
deathblow, some one discovers, it inflicted by so
simple thing gyroscope stabilizer to keep
vessels from rolling except in heavy storms.
The romance of the sea was about ever, anyhow,
he says, and this is one of the final coffin
nails
Romance died when steam replaced sails,
when the railroad crowded out coach travel,
when the telephone spoiled all the situations
founded on notes that were never delivered The
truth IS romance dies every time some one dis
covers that his digestion is more important than
his emotions, He doesa't want to be alone, so
he kills off romance for all the world
It doesn't bother anybody much. The
young lovers, who in the old romantic days
could never have gone on horseback expedi-
ton, are taking the auto to the country for q
summer holiday. The poor lad for whom we are
asked to grieve because he can not dreamof the
joys of piracy is busy listening to talk that goes
on a thousand miles at sea.
Romance must have died long ago il 1t had
been made of iron armor or viking galleys or of
muzzle leaders and sailing vessels. These things
it used, but it still thrives when they are gone.
The poor soul who tells as a romance is dead but
makes unwilling confession of the poverty to
which his own life has come.
