IDAHO A Big
DAIRY CENTER
Carna ion Representative
Makes Study of South
ern Part of State

Idaho Falls A representative OF
the Carnation Milk Co., the biggest
institution of its kind in the United
States, spent several days here
recently making a quiet survey of
the valley adjacent to Idaho Falls
and the surrounding territory with
the idea in view of sizing up the
situation for his company, and made
the statement while here that it is
the purpose of his company to locate
plant here similar to that in Nam
pa, the second largest milk conden-
sery in the world.
The statement was made that it
is the purpose of the company to
locate big plants of this kind both
here and at Twin Falls: that after
a survey of the situation the people
interested are thoroughly convinced
that this immediate section and
southern Idaho in general presents
the greatest opportunity for dairy
ing with the climatic conditions,
abundance and quality of the feed
and other advantages; that three
dairy cows can be kept here with
the same expense required to main
tain one in the dairy sections of Wis
consin and other dairy states.
The community viii have to have
more and better cows and be better
prepared to take care of them be-
ore any big results can be expected.
It will be about two years, he stated |
before his company will be ready to
.ome into this section with a plant.
The Carnation Milk Co. placed
hundreds of COWS in the Boise Val
ey within the past few years. The
'esult is a pay roll Of $1,000 daily
or milk and cream checks,

KIND WORDS

'Tis with a feeling akin to sadness
that many witness the passing of the
Rupert National Bank into new
hands, although they know that
it is one of those things that must
be done. r. c. Halliday, president OF
the closed institution, even though
his bank was forced to shut its doors
retains the esteem, respect, and
friendship of his many depositors,
who would gladly elevate him 10 the
presidency of the new organization,
were it in their Minidoka

LAST YEAR FOR
GIVING FREE SEEDS


The following letter received this
geek from Congressman Addison t
Smith, relative to the free seed senI
out by the government, is self
explanatory and will be read with
interest.
AS soon as seeds arrive notice will
be published in the Republican and
those who want them may get them
at this office,
Lindsay Bros, Editors,
Mountain Home Republican,
Mountain Home, Idaho.
My Dear Editors:
For "a years congress has been
following a policy of making an an
nual appropriation for the purchase
of garden and flower seed for dis
tribution through the senators and
representative to their constituents
During the first administration of
President Cleveland, the then Secre-
tary of Agriculture, Honorable j.
Sterling Morton of Nebraska, recon-
mended that this custom be aban-
doned and ever since then there has
been a contest in congress between
those in favor of distributing seeds
and those opposed to the plan.
When the agriculture appropria-I
tion bill was under consideration in
this session the opponents of the pol
icy succeeded in defeating the appro-
priation and there will be no seeds
available for distribution next year,
1t has been difficult to secure the
names and addresses of persons who
really desire the seed, and thinking
possibly that you would be willing |
to aid in placing the seed now avail
able in the hands of persdns living |
in your locality who may wish them,
I have had sent to you aFauantity a
for distribution which should reach |
you in ample time for spring plant
ing.
With kind personal regards, 1 am,
Very truly yours,
ADDISON T. SMITH

FARMERS LEGISLATION

If legislation alone is the curative for all agricultural
Ills agriculture in the Nation and in the Northwest should
prosper Almost legislature in agricultural
state has devoted much time this past winter to farm mat
big chapters in the history of the Goth Congress- Mime.
sofas legislature Just ended added many laws designed to
aid agriculture, to the statute books.
The Gopher legislature enacted rural credits law de
signed to permit longtime loans money secured through
issuance of state bonds Bills for cooperative farm and
livestock marketing associations enacted The first
and the generally regarded the important
the so-caed Sapiro plan the plan followed by California
fruit growers and Southern tobacco growers modified to
meet conditions in grain growing It's chief pro-
vision legally binding contract which requires the grower
member to deliver his product to the marketing associ~
alton he has agreed to do This intended to prevent
outside firms from causing farmers to break away from
pooling plan by offering higher prices The second coopera
tive bill is amendment to the 1921 law permitting the
in any line of business separate law permits the foma
ton of livestock shipping associations, and they may sell
stock associations without interference by the state secur
ties commission.
Dairy farmers secured law prohibiting the manufac
re of butter substitutes containing butterfa and other laws
Several joint resolutions passed, including memorial
to Congress to return control of the South St. Paul livestock
yards to Minnesota and modify federal Grain Grading
regulations
Perhaps the most outstanding feature Of the agricultural
legislation in Minnesota is that support given to the
principle of cooperative marketing conrased with state
socialism and state capitalism bill to establish state
owned elevators failed Minnesota has made great strides
in laying the for cooperative marketing The recent
agreement of the principal farm organizations operating
marketing pools in the Northwest is another indication Of
conviction upon the part of students of farm problems
that the way to orderly marketing lies through the
operative marketing route where the and the policy
Of the organizations will be controlled by the farmers.
