FRIDAYS POTATO MEETING

i On Friday evening there was q
meeting of about ITS farmers at the
court house, to listen to w. ]. Hill,
the manager Of the Colorado Ex-
i change. Mr.. Hill talked very
pointedly along the Sipero plan OF
operating, and was listened to with
marks of appreciation. C. S. Beebe
was in the audience and when the
meeting was open to remarks by
4 others, Mr.. Beebe addressed them
briefly and said he was convinced
that this was the right plan to work
on, and offered his services and his
car for the next week to go out in
behalf of the work. 1t was said that
about half of the men in the audi
ence had already signed potato con-
tracts and a good many more Signi-
fed their intention Of signing.
The following article from The
Times-Register of Idaho Falls indi-
Gates the trend of activities there:
The organization of the Idaho
Potato exchange, an association of
potato growers of the southern and
eastern part of the state to affiliate
with the Colorado potato growers,
who have perfected their organiza-
liOll, 10 dUOuI upl0lGQ.
The plan as outlined by the Colo
RADIO producers will be carried out in
Idaho with any changes that the
Idaho growers may see fit to make.
In discussing the situation, w. J.
Hill of Fort Collins, Colo, general
manager for the Colorado exchange
stated that the organization is
thoroly democratic in that the mem
bers of the organization handle their
own business thru the votes of mem
bers of the different locals and thru
the general committee made of the
representatives of the locals and
nothing is done without the knowl-
edge and consent of the growers.
G. J. Carlson, president of the
Idaho organization, states that no
contract of any kind for the sale of
the potatoes has been made, nor will
such contract be made until the
growers themselves approve and
sanction some plan which they
definitely decide upon. When the
has been perfected the
members Of the organization will use
their own Judgment as to the matter
Of sales contract
The members of the organization
including Mr.. Hill, the
Colorado man, are very certain that
4 sufficient number of growers will
approve of the contract and will be-
come members of the organization,
and in that way assist in helping the
plan to market their potatoes.
The best authorities in the United
States make the claim that intelli-
gent cooperation and the selling Of
arm products thru that method is
he solution of the farm problem.
Mr.. Hill states that the Colorado
exchange advertised the fact that
hey had 10000 carloads Of potatoes
o be sold and advertised for bids.
Three of the most representative
,otato selling firms were represented
It the opening of bids held at Pueblo
N August 1, and the best contract
vas accepted. Mr. Hill states that
he contract is for but one year and
hat by next season the Colorado
rowers will have their own sales
gency. Mr.. Hill states that the
colorado growers have 10000 cars
for or IS per cent of the
eason's crop and more contracts are
eng signed daily.

RAILROAD ADVERTISING FARMS

The Union Pacific and the Oregon
Short Line are completing arrange
ments by whichathey are to advertise
the farms that are for sale in THU
valley and try to get young men an(
young women with means to settle
in the Snake river valley.
T. H. Farmer, the Short Line
agent of Idaho Falls has been work
ing for some time getting. informa-
ton and photos of farms and i'm
prOvements for use In presenting the
subject of eastern people. Any farm
of 160 acres or over will be adver-
tised free of charge, in an effort to
split up the large farms and get
people to operating more success
fully on tracts that are Of the size
that have proved profitable in the
past.
Mr.. Farmer says that canvass of
the situation shows that the farmers
who are Independent now are those
that have the small farms and are
raising diversified crops and poultry
pigs and cows. The men who have
the large farms are the men who are
the worst embarrassed financially.
Besides securing photos of the
buildings and the land, canals and
bitches to show the prospective
buyer, they take information as to
distance from town, post office,
school house, church, mail route,
telephone line etc., and all these
matters will be laid before the
young farmers of the dairy sections
of the Mississippi valley, and young
people who have means to buy land
and pay for it, bring or buy stock and
implements and go upon the land
prepared to operate without going in
debt at the start, will be encouraged
to come. Those who have not enough
to operate on this plan will not bel
encouraged. Idaho has had more
than enough of poor settlers, who
expected local dealers and neighbora
to capitalize their undertakings and
take the losses if they failed. Idaho
needs experienced farmers who have
enough capital and who know how to
farm and care for stock, and the
railroad company will spend it's owr
good money trying to interest that
kind of people. They can do this
because it should [
better the condition of the people
who come west on that plan and it
will better the conditions in the COM
munities where they settle and
operate.
The colonization plans contem-
plate selling forty acres to eack
and will encourage
them to operate or that sized unit.
They will encourage the man with
the large farm to split it up into
smaller units and farm a small one
himself. The railroad company does
not charge any commission for this
work, and it does not operate thru
my real estate men. 1t does not try
20 make sales of farms or parts of
farms that consists of less than 100
lcres. Any man having a quarter
section Of agricultural land, who
wishes to sell part of it, is invited to
ist it with his local railroad agent,
md get this free service. When the
lOmeseeker comes to look at his {
arm he will have the opportunity to !
ell it direct if he and the home
ecker can agree, and it must be
that the land owner must
tick to the price he indicated that
lie would sell it at when he listed it.

A LITERARY INDIAN

A good story comes from southern
California that Is filled with local in
terest 1t is that Of one of the
young Indians of the Fort Hal
reservation, who took part in making
the picture 1.-THE Covered Wagon
an Oregon Trail story of the west
that is now being shown.
About 1875 Indians and their
ton, took part in making the picture
in which they took a very live in
terest.
The story as told in southern Cali
fornia of the Idaho Indian goes like
this:
While the picture was being made
and the Indians were standing near
waiting their turn the director
noticed that the blanket worn by a
good looking young buck had slipped
down below his hips exposing book.
An examination showed the book
to be a BalZac novel in French
Amazed, he spoke to the stolid look
ing Indian, saying, "You read
French"
ooh, yes," was the polite reply. 81
always prefer Balzac and some Of
the other French writer's in the
original. One loses so much in the
translation, don't you think?"
The movie director walked away
too utterly dumfounded to express
himself, going back to his part of the
camp occupied by illiterate white
men. An investigation developed
the fact that number of the Indians
that made up the camp are Carlisle
graduates, many of them with the
right to tack long string of letters
after their name, and men Of culture.
but who prefer the blanket to the
life OF the white man.-Times-
Register.
