IMPROVE GARAGE.

The canopy recently construct
ed by the Service Garage in
front of the main entrance of
their garage was completed by
William Ruhoff and his crew of
men, Saturday, and greatly adds
to the appearance of the build
ing. The canopy gives the en-
trance of the garage the appear
&nce of a gasoline station so
frequently found in the larger
cities-( The Improvement was
primarily made to keep out the
sun, thereby making their busi-
ness office and work shop a
much more congenial place in
which to do their business and
repair work.

CHAUTAUQUA DATES SET.

Cotton w 90 DIS chautauqua
dates are set for June 13, IA and
18th. At the present time
there is controversy going on
by mail between the Ellison and
White people and the signers of
the local contract. 1t is stated
that the chautauqua people did
not get the signers on the con-
tract that some of the original
signers wished thereon and we
understand that they were told
at the beginning that if certain
men and firms refused to sign
the contract the deal would be
off. Some Of the most enthusi-
astic chautauqua boosters re-
fuse to take any active part as
the result of the controversy.
The outcome of the affair seems
very uncertain at this time. The
Ellison and White company,
under whose supervision the
chautauQua is being brought to
Cottonwood claim they have a
legal contract and intend to hold
the signers accordingly and
will be in the city on the above
mentioned dates.
A member of the local com.
mittee informed the Chronicle
that they absolutely refused tc
go thru with the supposed
chautauqua contract.

STILL MORE CORN.

Last week we mentioned the
fact that Ed Nelson, of the Fem
section was going to plant 100
acres to corn and this week we
learn from a very reliable source
that Goff Eckert is going to beat
Nelson's record by 20 acres. Mr..
Eckert will SOW 120 acres of
summer fallow ground to Flint
end Yellow Dent varieties. Mr..
Eckert is another Camas Prairie
farmer who believes in getting
away from strictly wheat farm
ing. The results of these two
farmers with their corn will be
watched with great interest
throughout the entire county.

tion for the county agent in the

they receive them and return the
same to the county auditor. All

BORAH COMING HOME.

In a personal letter received
this week from United States
Senator William E. Borah, by
the Chronicle, he stated that he
would come to his home state
again this summer and would
surely place Cottonwood on his
itinerary. He still remembers
the splendid reception received
here last fall. While Cotton
wood is normally a strong dem
ocratic precinct it is safe to say
that 90 per cent of the people
here are for Senator Borah and
would vote for him regardless of
politics.

have reduced the amount set
aside for county agent work
for last year from $2400 to
$4,000 for this year. Federal
and state appropriations will re-
mains the same as in the past.
The federal and state govern
ments have expended several
thousand dollars to cooperate
with Idaho county in getting
county agent service established
and we stand ready to go for
ward with the same program in
the future and to give Idaho
county the best service the col
lege of agriculture can provide.
But we have no desire to force
this service on a county. What
we will do in the future, there
fore, depends entirely upon the
expression you give in this re-
ferendum. The government is
slow to act in withdrawing a
service from a county but it is
equally slow, when once rejected,
in reestablishing a service.
We appreciate your interest
and cooperation in the past and
shall welcome it in the future
should the service be continued
in Idaho county.

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
EXTENSION DIVISION
Grangeville, Idaho,
April 23, 1923.

- - --~>J ~>-D'
Dear Sir:
To the Editor of the Cottonwood
Chronicle.
The Honorable Board of
County Commissioners of Idaho
county have decided to provide
for county agent work if a ma
jority of the people in Idaho
county desire the service. In
order to learn the will Of the
people they are sending out
post card BALLOT during the first
week in May. The commissions
ers will meet on May IL to count
the votes mailed back to them.
In connection with this refer
endum the people should know
what county agent service in
cludes and what the cost is.
The county agent is the repre-
sentative of the University of
Idaho college of agriculture and
the United States department of
agriculture. 1t is his duty to
bring the most advanced infor-
nation from the best source to
the farm and to assist in the ap-
plication of this information to
farm and home problems.
The program adopted in Idaho
county includes culling and mat
ing of poultry, dairy improve
ment, general crop work, grain
and potatoe standardization and
certification, women's work in
cluding dress form, millinery,
and garment construction class
es, the organization and supervi-
sion of boys and girls clubs,
rodent and general pest control,
and the importation of high
grade seed and pure-bred live
stock.
To finance county agent work
the county commissioners will
provide $4,000 per year for the
coming two years. if the county
commissioners provide $4,000 per
year, the U. S. department of
agriculture and the college Of
agriculture will meet it with an
equal amount in money and spe-
cialist assistance.
If the county does not contri-
butte it's share to the mainten-
ance of this service the federal
and states money will be used in
other counties.
The $4,000 which the county
provides constitutes the entire
/. appropriation for all purposes
. including salary, car and office
expenses. The county money re-
mains in the county treasury
. and is disbursed by the commits
sioners at each quarterly meet
ing when claims for expenses are
presented. All claims are audit
ed and approved by the college
: of agriculture before submitted
: to the county commissioners.
: To the taxpayer the county's
f share means a levy of IA l.;
} cents per $1,000 assessed valua
' ton. Or for every 100 acres O.
the best improved farm land tn,
f cost is 81 cents. In other words
f the commissioners must Sc
aside for county agent work d
cents out of every S100, paid il
!. by the taxpayer for all purposes
!, Taxes are already paid for thi
C year. The question before tn
e people is do they want to in
/, strllct the commissioners to Sc
k aside for county agent work a
+ cents out of every 800 taxes o
y do they want them to use it TO
It some other purpose.
n In line with their program o
economy, the commissioner

MIXED TRAIN-YES OR NO.

One hears great deal OF talk
these days of the Camas Prairie
railroad placing a mixed train
on the Grangeville-Lewiston run.
1t is our belief that it is mostly
gossip, but judging from the
passenger business now Of the
railroad we would not be sur
prised to see this action taken by
the railriad officials. On two
mornings of this week not a
passenger was taken aboard
from the Cottonwood station.
