A COUNCIL WITH
FARMERS

We farmers should guard against
our inclinations this spring of 1928
and not repeat a mistake we made
in 1922 on a different crop.
Out of politeness we dislike to
mention spuds this year. Nobody
wants to hear the word, now that we
are all stung with them. But that
is why we need to watch ourselves
if we don't look out we shall not
plant any potatoes while we have
free seed, and because beets paid
well in 1922 we may plant more
beets than we can we'll take care of
or we may plant them on ground
that is not very suitable for beets.
Labor is likely to be scarce this
year due to so many people having
moved out of the farming commun-
tiles, and due to the fact that pretty
good wages will be paid for men for
construction work on the railroads
and reclamation projects, and to the
further fact that farmers will not
have money to pay hired help this
year.
Then there are other dangers
beets sometimes fail to grow we'll.
There is the curley leaf that comes at
times, and this might be the year.
When it comes it blights part of the
acreage and nobody can stop it. If
we should plant large acreage of
beets this year and lose some by
blight, and make a low tonnage on
part of the ground by it's not being in
prime condition for beets, and some
by not getting them thinned at the
right time, it would be exactly in
line with what has happened in other
years when conditions were right for
it.
We can i'll afford to take risks this
year because. we are already so poor.
We have gambled in potatoes, in
wheat, in cars and gasoline, and we
have sold or traded liberty bonds to |
poor advantages for ourselves, so we
should be very discreet this year, !
swallowing as much of our pride as
we can, or perhaps swallowing the
whole of it, for the sake of safety |
first.
This of all years is time to make
\ hotbed, sprout things early, set and |
plant garden truck, water it with a
,omato can If necessary, cover 1t up
1T nights, raise some things to eat
early in spring and all summer;
pickle, preserve, can and dry garden
.ruck and fruit, raise some hay, some

A SENSIBLE
PRINCESS

Princess Mary, of England, who
was married a year or SO ago, was
considered a very sensible girl, and
had won the hearts Of the common
people to such an extent that she re-
ceived wedding presents from all
sorts of people and from combina-
lions of folks, who made up purses
together to buy gifts. 1t was a great
popular expression, those wedding
gifts, and it was refreshing to see
the giving and the acceptance so well
understood.
But there is another daughter of
the king and queen, who is to be
married presently, Elizabeth and she
will wed the Duke of York, whose
name is Bowes Lyon, Scotchman.
In England, second daughters and
second sons do not receive the at
tention bestowed upon the eldest,
because of the old customs of in
heritance and eligibility to the
throne, but Elizabeth in making it
known that she is to wed, forestalls
the gifts by having ;. the press of
England say that in the face Of so
much poverty and unemployment

ASHTON MIGHT
TRY III

| AS stated elsewhere in this paper,
the town of Ashton has to pay the ex-
penses of the dog derby and the only
chance it's people have of getting the
money back is thru the added tourist
trade which this dog publicity brings
to them in summer, by causing
travellers to stop in the town.
The photographers have a very
fine array of pictures taken at the
several dog derbies, and it ought to
be possible to make a collection of
them that would surpass anything Of
the kind in the world. They might
be prepared in three sizes, one size
for display in a museum or show
window or to hang up in stores and
offices or in homes, and a smaller
size suitable to make up into book
of scenes and the post card size.
The large size could be used in
making a fine window display in
some big window at Ashton, where
all sizes of the pictures were kept
on sale. Idaho's landscape painter,
George Schroeder, might add to the
scene by placing with it, views of the
Grand Teton and Jenny's Lake, and
tourists standing before the show
window could turn from the picture
and view the real TetOns looming up
to the eastward.
There should be good sale for
pictures of this type, as there was
and is for the pictures taken in 1911
Of the elk in Jackson Hole. They
are scattered thru this valley and
thru many states, and are So differ
emit from what one usually sees in |
pictures, that the observer is drawn |
to close examination and feels a |
desire to own one.
Pictures of the Dog Derby should |
make similar hit, and be profitable
to sell and at the same time be
good advertisement for the west and
Tor Ashton in particular.

MINERAL MIXTURE FOR HOGS
Wisconsin Specialist Recommends
Combination Of Which Charcoal

Experience has taught the stockman
that a mineral mixture Is good thing
to keep before the hogs In the winter
time.
G. Bohstedt Of the animal husbandry
department has just made a mixture to
feed to the hogs in the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural college herd. It consists Of:
Two hundred pounds Of powdered
charcoal; 100 pounds Of wood ashes;
100 pounds Of air-slaked lime; 100
pounds Of ground rock phosphate; 80
pounds Of salt; 10 pounds Of sulphur

TWIN FALLS SCANDAL

| Last week we told of Twin Fall.
being in the throes of great scandal
that had been discovered by an
evangelist, who had just arrived in
| town, and we intimated that he
might not be good authority on what
was doing in the town. When the
| matter was run to earth by the
public prosecutor, here is what he
said about it:
]. w. Taylor, Twin Falls prescott
ing attorney, has publicly exonerated
DR.. ]. R. Morgan, Mrs. T. w. Will
hanson and three young women en-
ployed as nurses in the general hos
pital, Twin Falls, who were charged
with completely in an illegal opera
ton alleged to have been performed
at the hospital.
In his statement Mr.. Taylor said:
after making a most thoro ex-
animation into the charges, inter
viewing various physicians and
gathering all the facts connected
with this case, l found that there
was absolutely no foundation upon
which to base the charges, and be-
coming satisfied that there was abso-
lutely no grounds for the prosecu-
tion as against any Of these defend
ants, felt it my duty, as prosecuting
attorney for the county, to make
motion before Justice Packard for
the dismissal of the charges, which
dismissal was accordingly granted.
II regret exceedingly that prema-
ture publicity was given to this mat
ter. Statements which were origin
ally made to me concerning this mat
ter were afterwards absolutely re-
pudiated by the persons who made
them. l hope, therefore, that per-
sons will be careful of their grounds
before attempting to make charges
against Others"

ing feed for beef cattle was also proven
In the feeding trials.
Calves getting silage, plus a full
feed Of grain, feed more regular and
required less careful and skillful feed
ing than the calves getting heavy
feed Of grain and no silage. The silage-
fed calves made gain Of 2.36 pounds
per head per day for a period of 1876
days, while the calves fed without
siiage were valued at 10 cents per 100
pounds above the calves fed silage, yet
the silage-fed calves showed a net
profit of $3.50 a head, while those
without silage showed profit Of $1615
a head.
Barley proved practically equal to
corn, pound for pound. in making
gains on fattening calves, but because
Of its greater cost and the lower saw
ing Of feed made by hogs following.
the corn-fed calves showed a profit Of
$16.15 a head, while the barley-fed
calves showed a profit Of only $6.01 a

beef calves and common calves show
ing same traces Of beef breeding when
compared, made similar gains on SINH

ence In selling price was marked, the

A couple of editors at Twin Fall!
are berating each other nearly al
badly as couple of Republican can
didates for the presidency did In
1912, when Col. Bryan in his cam
paignfng said it was not desirable
for the opposition party to say any
thing worse of either of them than
each of them was saying about the
other.
One of the Twin Falls editors says
the other one has been publishing
very able editorials from the Spring
field, (Massachusets) Republican
for some time, and passing them of
on the public as his own. He says
that such practice is plagiarism, de-
fined by Webster as stealing the
thoughts of another. To prove his
case he reprints, some of the articles
and leaves it to the other editor to
sue him for libel if his statements are
not true. That in itself would not
concern the public very much if it
were not for the fact that the pub

brings the matter nearer home and
creates demand for information as
to the character of the publisher.
Editorials are manufactured and
supplied on the market these days
pretty much the same as cloth and
other things Editorials are written
and supplied to papers all over the
country, one in locality, so that
they can be set in type and printed as
their own if they want to. Such
editorials can generally be detected
by the fact that they never deal with
local matters, but are general in
their nature, and will fit a commun-
ity in Florida or Oregon or Maine.
They do not say anything in particu-
lar, but they are fairly good reading
and when one has read them he does
not know much that he did not know

and high taxes. the sacrifice of pay
ing for gifts would take the Joy out
of 1t and there must be no gifts for
them under these circumstances.
AS we think it over we believe we
like Elizabeth pretty well, and we
venture the guess that this forgetful-
ness of self will write a tablet plain
and strong on the hearts of the
people of an over-taxed empire.
