Railroad Man Finds

ct, according to letter received here
Thursday from Joel Priest. general
agent of the Oregon Short Line. who
traces past shipments. Mr.. Priest says:
Among the scenes OF your child
calls them to view" do you remember
the lettuce. the flat-leaved. detected
plant that looked like a weed and tast-
ed like grass with certainly nothing
better than a grade school education?
In those days lettuce was used rs pars-
ley is used today. as a garniture. rather
than as nourishment. Lettuce today.
and particularly Idaho lettuce. is as
different from the so-called vegetable
OF our childhood as an Idaho Delicious
apple is from a green pcrsimmon. IL
heads as firmly as new cabbage. and
when il is quartered and served with
salad dressing. or even with just salt
and pepper. il is real food.
"In the fall OF 1918. or 1919. 4
meeting attended by farmers and rep
rcsentativcs OF the Union Pacific Sys-
tenn was held near Melba. II was a
get-aoquainted gathering. and its prin-
cipal purpose was to discuss the ques-
ton OF car supply At this conference
w. II. Cassidy. who had grown some
head lettuce in an experimental way
near Boise. talked Interestingly about
the work he had been doing. and pro-
phesied that the growing OF head
lettuce could be made an important
industry in Southern Idaho.
THE following year a few cars
were shipped from this territory. The
product was OF quality so excellent
that it met with instant favor, and the
returns to the growers were entirely
satisfactory. In 1921, lettuce ship
ments aggregated l47 cars. principally
from the territory between Nampa
and Weiser. The industry had been
established.

idaho lettuce could be consistently re-

abouts its superiority over the lettuce
from practically every other state.
Our marketing men talked Idaho let

and in a short time, demand was built

The Washington Post carried an
editorial on Farm Legislation" on the
same day. "The premanency of the
benefits claimed by Senator Lenroo;
for the farm credits law is proved by
the relief it has effected" says the
Post. at enables the farmer to help
himself. to dig himself into posterity,
to hold his own against changes of
market. The Wisconsin Senator's dis
claimer of panacea properties for that
law is self-proving. No legislation of
the 'cure-alp variety can be devised
for agriculture until congress is vested
with control of weather conditions, of
world markets, of international rela-
tons and economic forces. This
means that it is beyond legislative
wisdom to draft and enact panacean
laws, Congress deserves credit for the
good it has done in the way of agri-
cultural relief legislation. There is a
limit to the effectiveness of legislation
in dealing with agricultural conditions.
Agriculture is subject to so many in
fuences and forces beyond control Of
any governmental agency that it is
folly to talk of enactment of laws that
will insure the farmer against ills from
every quarter. The sooner this is
realized by self-styled progressive
champions of the agricultural cause
the better for all concerned"
Borah Withholds Plan
After his conference with President
Coolidge. Senator Borah has decided
to withhold his program for relief OF
the farmers, pending announcement OF
the plans of the administration.
Senator Borah said he would much
prefer that the executive department
take the initiative in suggesting rene
dial legislation. 'as it would have more
force back OF il than if a member OF
the Senate took the lead"
The Senator said he found the Presi-
dent keenly alive to the needs OF the
farmers. and the only question in the
mind of the chief executive is the best
thing to do to remedy that condition.
He added that there was little dis
eussicn of the possibility of an extra
session, as it seems useless TO tissue
such call, as the President pointed
out. unless some concrete program
which could bring immediate relief
was advanced. and no such scheme is
now in sight.

many years ago was used by a steam
laundry, thought to be the first to
operate in San Angelo. Hugh Jack

1000 WILL ATTEND
FIELD DAY EVENTS
AT CAMP STANLEY
Participants in All
Events Will Be
Mounted.

More than 1000 visitors are ex-
pected at Camp Stanley to witness
the cavalry field day demonstration
Sunday afternoon. Chaplain Lee W.
Heaton said, in fixing the time for
the events between $50 and 4 80
p. m.
The first field day staged by the
national guard cavalry brigade under
Brig. Gen. Jacob +. Wolters last
Sunday was the most successful ever
given by the organization.
In all events, participants will be
mounted. There will be an obstacle

barb wire entanglements and other
objects.
The equipment race and jumping
events scheduled for last Sunday but
postponed on account of double

Sundays. program.
In the equipment race, about
twenty men will start, each dressed
only in shoes, breeches and under
shirt. After running 80 yards on
foot, they will pick up leggings,
shirts, hats and spurs; then run the
same distance and mount a horse.

riders picking .upe rifles, saddles,
blankets, brides, sabers and other
equipment en- route. At the end,
judges disqualify all who have forgot
ten parts of their equipment and
award prizes TO the neatest appearing
fully equipped cavalryman to finish.
The jumping race will be over q
zig-zag course dotted with low hurdles
and the "hairpin" turns arranged so
that speed is almost impossible. Rid
ing form in the jumps will play an
important part in the judging.

racks for the 56th Cavalry Brigade.
Space for parking an unlimited num-
Der of automobiles has been provid-
ed.
Brigadier General Wolters has in
