CHEESE FACTORY NEWS

Mr.. c. A. Voigt went through
Blackfoot this week on his way ia
Downey, where the dairymen were
having black and white day, and
also celebrating the opening of the
cheese factory in Downey. The
farmers of that section are delighted
with the new factory.
Mr.. Voigt stated that he was hav-
ing a little trouble in getting ma
chinery for Bingham county because
of the fact that the machinery has
to be made to order. There were
great many other orders in at the
factory before Mr.. Voigt's arrived
and he has to wait his turn, and the
shipment of machinery has there
fore been delayed. Mr.. Voigt is 60
ing to Wisconsin in the near future
to bring his family to Idaho, and
stated he would visit the factory at
that time and urge them to get his
order out as quickly as possible.
Present indications are that the ma
chinery will not arrive for our fac
tories until the middle of July or
later.

THE GRAssHOPPER WAR

County Agent Walter Thomas re-
ports that he has organized groups
of farmers for fighting grasshoppers
with poison, and thinks they have
enough man-power to handle it in
most of the communities. There
are localities where farmers are
scattered, and it looks doubtful
about being able to carry on sue
cessfully.
John R. Foulks suggests that peo-
pie living in town these dull days
might send out enough help to fill
up the gaps and make the work
complete. He offered his personal
to act under the direction of any
one in charge of the work. and it is
thought that help is available every
day if requests are made thru the
county agent and the commercial
club in time to plan for it.

duced to stock on the farm. Then
as small side line he should have
from ten to twenty acres Of Grimm
alfalfa, this should be planted In
rows SO as to permit cultivation.
This particular variety of alfalfa
with proper cultivation will produce
good seed ON dry farms.
Further he should have at least
four good cows, and enough hogs
and chickens to consume the skim
milk. The last few years 1 have
also discovered that the dry farm Is
an ideal place for the raising of
turkeys, as shown by the splendid
results of a few Of our remaining
dry farmers. There Is a super
abundance Of grass hoppers here
from early spring till fall, which
turkeys thrive on. Thus enabling
the dry farmer to even cash in on
the pests. There is much room for
expansion in the turkey business in
this vicinity, and l would like to
see more of our dry farmers take
up this line.
One other factor that has contib-
uted to making dry farming a failure
in a great number of cases has been
speculation. A great number of peo-
pie, mostly from cities, landed here
and took up land with no intentions
of ever becoming practical farmers.
Their sole idea being to get hold of
a piece of land, and sell it as soon
as they could at good profit. And
when the land failed to advance ac-
cording to their expectations they
became Disguised and quit. This
find true in at least twenty-five per
cent. of the cases. OF course the
rabbits and squirrels also discour-
aged a lot.
To give the reader better under
standing, there have been only about
two pieces of properly summer fall
lowed land in this community since
its inception eleven years ago. One
by the late C. P .Pawling, which un-
was destroyed by wire
worm. And another on the Dick
Blohm place last year, which made
an average Of twenty-five bushels
per acre, about eight acres of which

Dry Farming What We Make 1t
By Ed. ]. Kasel.

AS 1t has become necessary for
me to go to Nebraska this fall for
an indefinite stay have decided to
quit dry farming for the time being.
But believing that 1t might be of
interest rs well as benefit to some
Of my contemporaries, will en-
deavor to briefly set forth my ex-
periences as . dry farmer In the
Taber vicinity. covering a period of
eleven years.
Dry farming has been proclaimed
nat failure in this section of the
country. Nevertheless. and in spite
of everything that may be said to
the contrary have made a success
of 1t, as I believe the following brief
paragraphs will prove.
When l came here eleven years
ago, dry farming was new to me;
but after considerable experimenting
on my part, and applying practical
dry farm methods as they are prac-
ticed in other places I have come
to the conclusion that dry farming
is just exactly what we make it..
I have often in late years heard
the remark that dry farming is
merely waste OF time. While this
may be true in a large number of
cases, however, observation has lead
me to believe that failure in the
majority of cases has been due to
inexperience. If we could have
bunch of farmers in this vicinity that
would apply real dry farm methods.
with the old COW, the pig and the
hen as a side line, this desert could
indeed be made to bloom. What is
now the habitat of the coyote, the
rabbit and the squirrel could in my
opinion be converted into homes for
hundreds of families and become an
asset instead of liability to the
county and state.
One of the chief reasons why so
many of our dry farmers here have
failed in the past was that they de-
pended too much on one crop alone.
In my opinion every dry farmer
should have from sixty to one hun
dred acres of wheat per year, or as
much as he can handle properly.
And he should be in a position to
feed most of the grain thus pro-

COMMISSIONER WAS HERE

| w. ]. Hall, Commissioner of Pub
| lie Works, made a business trip tC
Blackfoot Saturday and had a sitting
at the commissioners office, to re-
ceive bids and let the contract for
| the steel bridge over the canal at
Kimball. D. j. Cavanaugh of Twin
Falls was the successful bidder and
| the award was made to him for
| $5,329.20, this being one of seven
bids.
In conversation with our county
board, Commissioner Hall expressed
much satisfaction over the compile
ton of the, arrangements for the
construction of six miles of pave
ment between Blackfoot and Glib
son, all to be paid for by the good
roads funds of the federal govern
ment. Mr.. Hall congratulated our
county commissioners on their sue
cessful promotion OF this the first
achievement of that kind, and said
it was the more noteworthy because
of it's being of such magnitude. The
only other hundred per cent. federal
project on file that he knows of with
prospect of being approved is a
stretch of three-quarters of mile in
1OHJdud. ne Sdlu IL was d SuOJcCt
for congratulation for the people of
Bingham county to have pioneered
such a project and to have made it
cover so long section of road that
was in dire need of being paved.
Mr.. Hall showed his further in
terest in this section and his good
will for it by his work and express
sions of interest in the Bannock
county side of the same road across
the reservation. Pocatello and Ban
mock county are working to make
the same arrangements for hundred
per cent federal aid for their part
Of the Yellowstone highway across
the reservation, and Mr.. Hall said
1t is progressing all girht so far.
When one OF our commissioners |
asked II the half mile of 1t that Is
in Bingham county, lying between
the southern end of the Fit. Hall
paving and the county line is to be
included in their construction plans,
Mr.. Hall replied that 1t was.
Mr.. Hall said that things are
coming little easier now in road
matters, and the Southeast has
bright prospects for coming into its
own. 1t was a very pleasant meet
ing altogether, and at the time of
our officials had rea-
son to walk out like a team that
has scored some home runs on q
new diamond.

in the song, and he was fined 25
cents. The sergeant at arms, George
(Dore) was directed to take it away
from him, which he then and there
did. Somebody volunteered the in
formation that Neil, (Neil F. Boyle)
had not sung either, and should be
fined fifty cents. Another member
said he was glad Neil had not sung,
and said he would favor taking up
a collection to pay his fine as COM
pensation for not having to listen to
him. George got the money.
Then Herm said that reminded
him-there was an early-day justice
of the peace out at Challs who was
confronted by Danny Sullivan for
some offense and he sized him up
and fined him ten dollars, thinking
perhaps he could pay that much.
Danny drew q big roll from his
pocket. and while-he was peeling or
a ten-spot. the justice added, "and
5000 for contempt of court" and
that broke Danny.

After most of the fellows had

AARON SAPIRO'S ADDRESS
ON FARM MARKETING
A Thousand People Gather to Hear
His Analysis of Tested
Methods

On Friday evening more than 9
thousand people listened for an hour
and twenty-five minutes to the ad.
dress of Aaron Sapiro explaining
what he termed the proved and sue
cessful methods of farm marketing
At the close of the address they
voted on the question of whether
or. not they wanted to organize on
that plan at Blackfoot, and every
body in the house who is farming
or has an interest In farm stood
up.
Mr.. Sapiro is an interesting and
charming speaker. He is so full of
facts and the desire to get them
across to his audience that he dis
courages any attempt at applause.
Whenever anyone started an applause
he made a gesture in that direction
and began pouring out some more
of his message at them, and they
would generally quiet down for fear
of missing something. At one point
in his speech he varied from that
rule and stood back and smiled in
pronounced satisfaction while they
INDUCED their feelings, and that was
when he was talking on how to
grade, pack, ship, identify and guar
antee products, and he held up

Entertaining the Kids
When the guests assembled, tn
old timers, were gathered into 6
room by themselves and were Spoken
of as kids. The program COMMITTEES
introduced some of the newer mem
bers of the community, and opened
some bottles of pop and spread Il
around as people did real drinks II
the old times. When anyone asked
what it was he was about to drink
the committeeman would say, "just
what is written on the bottom of the
BOTTLE" and the guest would take
a finger or two.
At the Banquet
w. H. Stufflebeam is the president
of the club, and after the opening
song he told the guests he was sorry
the Eccles Hotel was so poor that
they could not afford q speciae din
the ROtarians had intended to have
on this occasion, and 1t was a source
of deep regret to them that they
could only find room for a dozen or
twenty guests when there were forty
or fifty and their wives whom the
club wanted to have with them.
The Ways of ROtarians
Rotarians have some ways that are
different-at their meetings they
call each other by the first names,
and collect fines for transgression of
the rules. Each one wears a button
as big as a saucer and on 1t is printed
his name, his nickname and the kind
Of business he Is In. 1t is a Enable
offense to sit at table without the
button on the lapel of his coat.
There are a number of things that
are Enable offenses, as you will see.
They do not mince words with each
other, and altho they act frivolous
serious and thoughtful moments
The Regular Routine
AS we said, Mr.. Stufflebeam is
chairman, and they addressed him. as
Chairman Herm:" E. L. Anderson is
Andy" and he leads in singing.
