Farmers

Boise.-Governor. Moore's prompt
action recently in securing an exten-
sion OF the emergency freight rate on

sent to the capitol by ]. C. White, the
county agent OF Fremont county. Mr..
White advises that approximately 100
cars of seed have been shipped from
his district alone and the cut in the
freight rates secured by the governor
has made a substantial saving not
only to the shipper but also to the pur-
chaser. Other districts have profited
likewise.

so cent reduction on seed potatoes. eA&
pired March 81. Governor Moore i'm
mediately took up with the Short Line
