YOUNIE OFFERS
CONGRATULATIONS


SO" class in his relations with his
home country, as will be recalled by
people who have read his analysis of
current events and his review of the
events of history and his predictions
as to futures.
When seen in his private office in
the First National Bank Monday he
replied to an injury as to business
prospects by saying that times are
getting better Times always get
better when people settle down to a
program of industry and thrift and
leave off spending money for non
essentials. When they do that they
usually do it under necessity, and the
pressure of unpaid debts. When
they have produced crops and get
them to market, they use their first
money to pay of obligations. The
sober reflection Of the mass brings up
the desire to pay of those they owe,
and the next money they get is ex-
pended for things they need; then
as they go on and get more money it
goes for improvements and then
luxuries when they can get them.
The crops of 1921 and 1922 were
used to pay up debts or interest or
mere operating expenses or to cover
losses insofar as they would go, but
people kept on producing and buck
ing the game to keep from slipping
back any farther than they could
help. When people do that they
eventually catch up and get on their
feet again. Crops are starting to
move now, and are bringing fairly
good prices. The money is being ap- |
piled on obligations and there will be !
enough money to make some pro-
gress in liquidation, so people will
breathe easier Men who have been
buying land on the installment plan
and have been unable to pay the in
terest and the taxes, will clean up
those things-are cleaning them up
every day. The seller who kept the
taxes and water assessments paid up
to keep them from going delinquent
or going to sale under the hammer,
is getting that money refunded to !,
him by the buyer who stuck to his
land and did the best he could under L
discouragements. The future is as
plain as a printed book-bumper
crops, fairly good prices, fairly good
demand, good transportation facilit-
les and efficient car service are start
ing now to clean up what we call
hard times. AS the process goes on, |
and people get to laying up money
and accommodating it in the banks,
they begin once more to set their
pegs for the next panic that comes
along in the course of years, delayed
or speeded up by the circumstances /
of the times.
Mr.. Younie said he has been trying !
n fn q 10
good country to be in, and for long /
time has been assuring them that it
is the best of all the states west Of
the Allegheny mountains, for he has
Travelled thru all Of them looking for 4
a better place than Iowa, where he 4
lived for thirty-five years wondering II
all the while if there was not some
better place. He adopted Idaho as II
that place, and in the twenty-one Il
years he has been here there has Il
never seen a crop failure, and never q
has been a year when man could
lot mature corn if he planted an
early variety. Corn is more profit W
lble than some of the other crops >,
hat are being raised, because of the -
ow expense of handling it. Eight H.
pounds of seed corn is sufficient for bl
N acre, costing not more than IS
ents, as against 50 or $3.50 for an n
ere for seeding wheat. Then there A
S no expense for binding Irvine, =
acks, and thrashing of corn as with on
Wheat, and corn husking can be done co
yhen other crops are out of the way. c1
'orn can be stored for almost any II,
ength of time, it is good for cattle, or
Ogs, horses, poultry, and people, n,
nd can be used for silage or as fOd- If
er. w,
People use a great deal of corn of
ere land pay for having it raised in n q
-ansas or Nebraska and shipped ~
ere with several profits added to the a.
rst cost and the. freight bill. We in
an raise it as cheaply as the prairie IL
armers can, and we lose If we do hv
OF do it. The early settlers of ~
Minnesota thought they could not m.
lise corn, and now it has become nj.
ne of the staple crops, and is find
lg recognition far northward in the es,
anadian provinces. The disadvant- w
&c of the cool night is balanced by III,
lie long bright days, and the long mr.,
st of medals won by Idaho corn II,

Early in March, 1919, when the ths
ague OF nations was still sitting at no,
and the armies were only str
lrtly disbanded, and the allies were On,
Ill guarding the bridgeheads of the ~

'out world conditions and what to n, a
pect in the way of reduced prices h,
ID hard times, and he gave a review No
d some predictions which we pub tor
he'd with an introduction saying. ere
