SOME NEW STATE LAWS

BOISE.-Assistance to holders oil
state land leases and those purchas-
ing lands is seen in legislation en-
acted by the Seventeenth session OF
the Idaho legislature. This is part
of Governor Moore's program for
doing everything within his power
to aid the producers of the state and
also carries out the pledges in the
Republican platform upon which the
Moore administration was elected.
During the past three years the
State of Idaho has been going thru
financial crisis, many holders of
State leases being unable to meet the
payment due the State, and Senate
Bill No. So, by the Committee on
Public Loans, was passed gor the
purpose of assisting them in meet
ing their obligations.
In this bill the State Board of
Land Commissioners is given auth
ority, in its discretion, to extend the
time of payment of lease rentals due
for the years 1923 and 1924 to No
vember first of the respective year,
making the payments due in the fall
of the year after the harvesting of
crops, rather than January first, be-
fore any returns are received from
the lands.
Senate Bill No. SO, by the Com
mittee on Public Lands, is also a re-
lief measure, which will be greatly
appreciated by many purchasers of
State lands. During the financial
depression of the past few years, it
have been very difficult for many
holders of Certificates Of Sale to
meet the payments due the State,

their power to relieve the situation. !
By virtue of Bill No. So, holders of
State Sale Certificates who have been

advantage a state should ask. Wha
we need now more than anything

Dawn of New Idaho
"The building of this dam means
the dawn of new Idaho. 1t will
open vast areas of new land to irri-
CATION. Lands in the upped valley
lands east of US In Power County
and Bannock county and Caribou
county can eventually be irrigated
from storage that can be provided
here. Then in the lower valley
there is the ultimate development of
the great Bruneau project and the
Sunnyside project all of which means
q new empire in the west and thou
sands of new people.
Gin southern Idaho there is still
undeveloped, 100000 horse power
in our rivers and streams. The
dairy COW is doing and will continue
to do wonders for us. In a recent
test of Idaho cows, average stock,
we found there were but five tuber-
cular cows out Of 1900 that were
examined In any other state In the
Union a similar examination would
have revealed ten times that num-
Der of injected cattle. So you see
Idaho is destined to become one OF
the leading dairy states In the union.
The dairy COW is going to help us I'M
to- realize on the poten-
.ial wealth of our great state.
Lets hope that we will all quit
.alking hard times and join In con-
7erting the great assets we have into
wealth. And we must realize that
low is crucial time when we face
he issue that will determine in a
treat measure indeed, whether this
,reat commonwealth of ours is toI
,lace itself in a position to become
me of the greatest and richest states
n the United States"

SUGAR COMPANY SAYS

The Utah-Idaho Sugar company
has just sent out a circular letter
to their stockholders that reads as
follows:
Enclosed find copy of our Annual
Report for the fiscal year ended Feb
ruary 28th, 1928. While the re-
of your close scrutiny, there are
some other matters which have de-
veloped very recently of sufficient
Importance to warrant this letter.
For example, there is well-or-
ganized association Of propagandists
with headquarters in New York City,
whose sole interest is conferred in
the distribution in the United States
of foreign cane sugar in competition
with American sugars. This asso-
citation, by broadcastfng false and
malicious reports, and by other ques-
tionable practices is attempting to
seriously cripple, If not destroy, the
beet sugar industry. :.
Their latest move is to stir up
trouble between the beet-grower and
the sugar companies in the various
producing districts, by trying to
make the farmer believe that the
tariff on sugar is of no especial
benefit to him, since he is not getting
any more for his beets under tariff
duty of $1.76 per cwt. than he re-
ceived under a rate of $1.60 pre-
viously in force, and while they
"shed crocodile tears" over the far
mers of the West, the press of the /
East carries columns of their prepar-
ed matter with this slogan in large
type: Free Sugar for the Poor Mans
Table"
These enemies of the beet indus
try are fully aware of the fact that
the tariff, which was only advanced
sixteen cents per hundred pounds by
the Fordney-McCumber bill, could
not possibly be the cause of the re-
cent advance in the price of sugar
aggregating more than $500 per
bag, but the idea is simply being
used as a Smoke screen" to cover
up their own manipulations of the
price of sugar from foreign coun-
tries, and they also know that under
the sliding scale beet contracts, gem
orally in effect over the country, the
price obtained for sugar absolutely
fixes the amount which the farmer
receives for his beets. To illustrate:

Farmer Message to Farmers

for what is produced. When proper
tons are right the family with IS to 40
acres will do better than the family with
more acres, but that contemplates inten-
sive farming, more regular hours of work
and more comforts. The farmer in the
Middle West has worked out the prob
lem and his sons are looking for new
territory to operate in. The father has
found it so satisfying that he wishes he
were young again so he could come west
and do it over. What we need to do is
to point out our resources-the actual
conditons-to the sons and daughters of
such farmers, and get them to buy thirty
acre tracts among our sixty-acre farms,
and demonstrate their intensive farming
in connection with the COW, the pig and
the hen, so the folks on the other half
of the farm can more readily pick up
these better methods. l have seen the
factory part of farming tested thru all
the years, in fertile farming districts and
on the hot plains of Kansas where they
have to combat spring winds, summer hot
winds, winter cold winds, where they use
otOHS lCHSC JOotS tIldl WOll OuIIl III tllC
prairie fires, where they have silos for
preserving what green stuff they can pro-
duce up to the time of the hot winds
and the families that milk some cows,
that raise some hogs and some chickens,
using them as the factory end of the farm,
are the folks who are sitting pretty in
this panic; they sat pretty in the panic of
1907 and in 1898 and will sit pretty in
the next panic when it comes"
Don't you think that Mr. Ramsey's
remarks have the true ring? Does his
successful business career add anything
to the value of his words? When you
read our last letter to farmers did you
guess that he would be the next one to
give you message? Look over the
names of the directors below, and see
what you think the others will say when
they are interviewed. While you are think
ing about it, consider whether they are safe
men for you to deposit your money with
they manage this bank-If you haven't
a checking account with US, suppose you
start one with the next wages you draw
Or with the next check you get.

w. J.. RAMSEY, member of our board of
directors, and manager of Firth's pioneer
cash store, the man who made success
of strictly cash mercantile business when
most people thought it could not be done,
is the second member of our board to be
interviewed for this bank to give the peo-
pie a message, and he says:
There are several main troubles con-
fronting us, and there are certain specific
remedies that we can apply Most of
our farms are too large and should be
cut in two. Farm implements, in too
many cases, are not suited in kind or
quantity, to the work of the farm they are
on. The successful farm has two func-
transportation and manufacturing and
the COW, the pig and the hen attend to
the manufacturing. Nearly every year I
spend few weeks in older states, study
ing the methods of the successful farmers,
and am much impressed with our mis-
taken methods of leaving out those crea-
lures that constitute the factory on the
farm. Many who have worked on that
idea have overdone it and failed They
have done it on too large scale; the
factory activities must be proportioned to
production, and merely make a market

has been strong in scoring to score
this as an error. but l think that is
heritage of the old days when it was
the unwritten rule to give the fielder
an error if he touched the ball.
All These Are Base Hits.
Whatever you do never forget that
no such rule ever was in force in base
ball. Some dogmatic individual
started that around the United States
some years ago and it has been the
duty of competent scorers to DENY
1t ever since. There are hits which
any fielder can touch, but which he
can no more field properly than a ball
batted five feet over his head. All
such hits are base hits.

The short bound was a play which
troubled players and it also veXed
scorers because they never knew how
to account for il on their records AS
rule it went down as an error, be-
cause the temptation was strong in the
earlier period of base ball to beat
down heavily on the fielders even il
the batters should have been given
more consideration.
What q Short Bound Is.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to
tell what is meant by the short bound.
1t is that brief rise from the ground
which the fielder must frequently en-
counter when he is going in on the
ball in hurry. 1t is a bound about
six inches high. If the player did
not attempt to take the ball on the
short bound it would be easy for him
TO drop back and get the ball on the
long and easy bound but if he did
that the batter would frequently beat
the ball to first base and the fielder
would soon be looking for something
else to do, because he would be deem
ed too slow for the position.
There was time when f1elders
were out through a regular short
bound practice. IT was as much a
part of their coaching as being coach
ed to bunt. In fact, it preceded
coaching to bunt by many years, be-
cause the felderS were playing the
short bound base ball long before the
batters were bunting.
The best way to score the short
bound is to give the fielder the bene-
fit of the doubt and the batter there
fore gets it. too. if the ball seems to
