BIC PLANT To
HANDLE LETTUCE
Huston to Get Central
Loading. Station
This Summer

To facilitate the rapidly increasing
lettuce business of this territory, a
modern packing plant is to be built
this summer by Deer Flat farmers and
the American Fruit Growers at Ap-
lpleton, the station north of Huston on
the Caldwell Traction company lines.
The plant will have a loading capacity
! of eight cars OF lettuce per day. 1t
| is to serve as a central loading station
and warehouse for lettuce producers
affiliated with the American Fruit
growers for all territory surrounding
Huston within hauling distance.
Detailed plans for the structure have
not been prepared and no information
could be obtained Monday as to the
probable cost of the building. Indica-
tive of the need for such plant, how
ever, is the estimate that this selling
organization will ship 200 cars OF fall
head lettuce from this territory thru
this plant.
To provide trackage for loading s
cars of lettuce simultaneously. the
Caldwell Traction company will build
about 500 feet of additional side track
at that point The company already
has a short siding at Appleton.
When asked Monday as to plans for
the new structure, c. d. Purkhiser'
the traction company manager, said
that he understood the plan involved
an assessment upon growers affiliated
with the American Fruit Growers TO
be based upon their lettuce crop or
acreage. He feels. he said, that this
new business developed for the trac-
ton line will be OF material benefit in
the fight to keep this line in operation
Harry Yost is the Idaho manager
for the American Fruit Growers.

Many poultry producers, affiliated
with the Pacific Cooperative Poultry
Producers, will take advantage OF the
big Canyon county poultry excursion
next Saturday, July q, to see their
local grading and shipping plant.
MANY producers who have been MEM
bers OF the association since its or

For their benefit. arrangements Will
be made to have the professor in OPP

This. new machine gives eggs bath
in hot oil. Other features of the ar
raneements for the reception OF visit
ors will include a display OF graded
eggs. Visitors will also be given an
opportunity to see eggs graded and
will obtain. as a result. a good idea
of the basis upon which this work is
done.
Receipts at the local station are not
so large as they were during the spring
high production period. However
about $50 cases OF eggs are being re-
ceived weekly. Mr.. Durant expects
a further reduction but believes that
the fall receipts will hold up fairly

COST Of MAILS
HARD To OBTAIN
But Post Office Depart

the Rates

Washington-Officials OF the post
office department have spent eighteen
months working out set OF blanks
for use in making reports through
large number of selected post Offices
throughout the United States and il
is expected that these reports will
show the actual cost OF handling the
several classes of mail that is being
served to the American public. In the
announcement from the Post Office
Department this week it is said that
the biggest count OF mail in history
will be conducted from September 2l
through October 20.
Officials OF the Post Office Depart
ment have always been rather dumb
when requested to give information
the cost of carrying parcels and the
returns for the same. The express

parcel post went in effect threw up
their hands and refused to compete

Claiming to have found the Garden
of Eden, the center of all ancestral
life, and bringing back nine tons of
fossil specimens, some of which are
unknown and unnamed, Roy Chap

Mr. Andrews on the completion of

The discovery of the many speci-
mems were more than gratifying to
Mr.. Osborne, who more than %

of all ancestral life would be found
in the locality, where discovered by
Mr.. Andrews and his party.
Possibly one of the greatest dis
coveries was the finding of the eggs
of the dinosaur. Prior to the discov
cry science was unable to tell wheth-
er this prehistoric reptile gave birth
to it's young or Matched them from
eggs. In the. fossil eggs were found
the dinosauer in the embryo state.
That the eggs and fossils discov
cred date back 100000 years, is
the opinion of Mr. Andrews, who has
spent the past IA years in research
work principally in the Cobb desert
which is located in Mongolia.
A specimen, which so far has
been unnamed but of the mesonyx
type, believed to have been the larg.
est flesh-eating animal known, was
also discovered This is likened unto
huge dog, with skull three feet
across, and it's body more than 20
feet long.
