means ADVOCATES
INVESTIGATION
NEW COMMISSIONER OF AGRICUL-
TURE OUTLINES POLICY TO
MEET PROBLEMS.

/ Production on a larger scale and IN
a more variegated form will be advo-
Gated by Mark Means, new state com
missioner of agriculture, among the
| farmers of Idaho. This statement was
given out by Mr.. Means Saturday
morning in an interview with a re-
preventative of The Statesman at
Boise.
Mr.. Means appointment was effec-
tive April /, but the appointee of
Governor G. G. Moore has been in the
capital since March 81 getting ac-
quainted with his office force and ia
miliarizing himself with the work of
his office. Mr. Means is from Lew
iston and takes the place of Miles
Cannon, state commissioner of agri-
culture for four years in the Davis
administration
Service Policy Outlined
Mr.. Means says his policy for the
coming two years in the state agri-
cultural department will be to get
out among the farmers of the state
and find out from them personally
what their problems are. He says he
believes this to be the way to render
the best and most efficient service to
the producers Of the state.
Already the new commissioner has
put this policy into effect. Friday he
appeared at the office in the morn
ing and was not seen again during
the day. He spent the entire day
visiting farmers in the Boise valley,
talking with them and discussing
their troubles if they reported any to
him. He visited more than a dozen
farmers personally Friday.
The new commissioner says the Ida
no farmer is over organized; in fact,
organized to DEATH He believes that
if the Idaho farmer will put little
more faith in self reliance and stop
depending on organizations to see him
through difficulties, there will be
more prosperity on Idaho farms
Regarding farm organizations in
the state, Mr.. Means says that he will
take no part in either promoting or
fighting them but will leave the ques-
ton of whether or not the farmers
join up to the farmers themselves.
Already Mr.. Means has had a tilt
with a promoter of farm organiza-
ton. The man, whose name the COM
missioner asked to have withheld
from publication. came to his office
and wanted him to endorse the or
ganizatiOn which was seeking to pool
potatoes from southern Idaho farmers
Mr.. Means told the promoter that he
would have nothing to do with the
venture and the promoters warning
that his refusal might go hard with
him also did not elicit approval from
the commissioner

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER SUSPECT 1T.
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public, there is one prepare
ton that has been very successful in
overcoming these conditions. The
mild and healing influence of DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its remark
able record of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the sub
iect, made the astonishing statement
that one reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications
are declined do not event. suspect that
they have the disease. DR. FiImnr's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, medium
and large.
However, if you wish first TO test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer and Co., Bin cha5ntcn,
NY, for sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention this paper
