ALFALFA MEAL MILL COMING

The Superior Milling company Of
Denver installed an alfalfa meal mil
at Pocatello last fall, selecting the
location rather hastily not expecting
to make the business permanent dr
Idaho, but found it SO satisfactory
that they decided recently to get q
site at some better place II they
could and move the mill to a per-
manent location.
The Blackfoot Commercial club
took an interest in the matter and
negotiated to get it located here.
They set forth its advantages, the
branch roads, the great amount of
alfalfa raised here and along the
branch railroads within sixty to
eighty miles of Blackfoot, and by
putting up bonus of $4,000 and
aiding in various ways to get a site,
they have succeeded in securing that
industry here.
The mill is being prepared for
shipment to Blackfoot and will be
ready for operation early in the fall.
1t will afford steady market for
hay, and will afford employment for
about thirty men thruout the year.
The capacity of the mill will enable
them to use about 10000 tons a
year.

MOTHERS HEALTH CONFEREN CE

Miss Ethel Chaffee is in this county
holding some conferences with
women in regard to infancy welfare
and the operations Of the Shepherd
Towner bill for teaching mothers
the standard course in maternity
work.
The federal government makes an
annual appropriation to be used
jointly with funds supplied by each
state for carrying on the work in the
state. An office is kept open at the
state capital from which literature is
sent out on request to anyone inter-
ested, and in order to introduce the
matter, a graduate nurse goes over
the state teaching persons who will
in turn teach it to others in the
community.
1t is an effort on the part of the
federal and state governments to
take better care of infants and their
mothers both before and after birth,
so that there will be less suffering,
less loss of health and fewer deaths
from avoidable causes. Mortality is
too high among infants and their
mothers, and still higher among
women who have reasons for seek
ing to suppress information regard
ing their condition, or who have
been cast out by those who should
befriend them, but who become
severe and do not act the humane
part.
Much of the suffering and danger
of maternity can be avoided by
special care of the prospective
mother, as we'll as by attention at the
period of birth, and the correct
teaching of all these things tol
women and girls, is the object of the
Shepherd-Towner bill and the peo-
pie engaged in carrying it into
effect.
The Health Conference for
mothers and infants will be held for
Bingham county at the court house
in Blackfoot, August 20, 81 and %.
DR.. Almond, state medical director,
with the assistance of Bingham
county physicians, will conduct the
conference.

WASHOUT IN AMERI-
CAN FALLS CANAL
Rodents PerfOrate Embankment
and Cause Heavy Damage

At the big levees a mile or more
above Pingree the bank gave way or
Tuesday afternoon and turned the
stream lose upon the plains. The
canal full tide runs something like
100 feet wide and five feet deep
where the current is swift, but
deeper than that on the lighter
grades, stream of about 100000
inches. The bulk of the stream
flowed out upon the farms, seeking
the lowest belts of country, and cut
roads and railroad grades and
flooded farms.
The telephone line was out of
order and there was some delay in
getting message to- the headgate,
and then there was some difficulty
in operating the gates under the
heavy pressure. There are three
sets of headgates-one to admit the
water from the main river into the
big channel, one set of gates to act
as a spillway or waste gate, and an
other set to admit it to the canal
proper, the latter being about
ninety feet wide. 1t required about
"a hours to get the water drained
out of the canal and stop the flow
out upon the farms. 1t cut channel
thru the railroad grade eight feet
deep and twenty-five feet wide, leav-
ing the track suspended in the air,
and the Aberdeen train was held up
Wednesday and until after noon
Thursday. The wagon road near the
Josephson farm was cut thru, max
ing a gap about fifteen feet wide and
five or six feet deep. The farms of
P. H. Troutner, Mr.. Bowers and Mr..
Packer received most of the over
flow and large areas of crops are re-
ported to be under water, some of it
ranging to depth of several feet,
and held up more or less by lateral
bitches and road grades so it does
not drain off.
The cause of the break is said to
have been due to squirrels digging in
the embankment. They have been
giving trouble in that locality and it
is known that the flow in the canal
did not exceed the safety limit. 1t
is said that the squirrel holes had
been giving some trouble and had
been the occasion for anxiety. The
season is at its height and |
it will interrupt irrigation for num- !
Der of days at best.
We are informed that so much |
and near the break was submerged,
The dirt for the fill has to be hauled !

work day and night till it is COM

A QUESTIONABLE sent out by
Boys Life, the Boy Scouts maya
zine, to subscribers in a representa-
tive number of towns, cities and
small communities all over the
United States to find out how scouts
stack up in relation to radio, brought
back the information that 80 per
cent of those replying are interested
in radio and 6 per cent are not. To
reach the rank of First Glass Scout
a boy must know the Morse or In
ternational Code and, of course,
must become First Glass Scout be-,
fore he can achieve Eagle Scout
rank, the highest in the movement;
rs per cent of those who replied own
radio outfits, and As per cent can
receive up to several thousand miles.
Parts were bought and sets built by
81 per cent of these young owners,
while the remainder bought complete
units outright.
A comprehensive radio program
covering period of five years is at
the present time under consideration
by the Boy Scouts of America. De-
tails are being worked out by COM
mittee of experts second to none in
plans include the employment of a
highgrade radio expert at the Ma
tional office to prepare material for
Boy Scouts in their official maya
zine; develop broadcasting plans
with stations, for the information
and entertainment of Boy Scout
units thruOut the country; develop a
Boy Scout relay league with repre-
sentatives in each of the 10000
troops, and perfect a system for
broadcasting important announce
ments from the national council Of
flee at New York to all local council
units thruout the country. A sys-
tenn of broadcasting between troops
is also contemplated in the plan,
and also the encouragement of the
of receiving set in the
home of every Boy Scout. 1t is pos
sible that definite authorization for
the adoption of plan along these
lines will be given by the national
council at it's annual meeting being
held July $40 at the Boy Scout
Camps in Palisades Interstate Park,

FIXING WOLVERINE ROAD

County Commissioner Nelson Mil
Ter reports that he has sent men thru
Wolverine to throw the rocks out oil
the road A good many herds have
gone thru and they scatter out along
the dugroad and above it and tumble
the loose rocks down.
Men who have been studying the
situation are pretty well agreed that
it will be advisable to make a trail
paralleling the road or at such a
distance from it that the herds can
be taken over it and the mess wagon
take the road and yet serve the men
in charge of the herds. The annual
expense of cleaning the road after
the herds is only part of the problem
the road being in bad condition for
the period when herds are passing
is the greater loss to the public.

ROGUEING YOUR SEED FIELDS
By R. T. SPANGLER, Assistant
AgrOnOmiSt

Every seed grower at this time is
busy rogueing his clover and alfalfa
fields of nOxious weeds and those
that may bring down the value of his
crop. 1t is very important that he
should know what weeds to take
out and those which will come out in
the recleaning process. Those that
fall under the latter class need not
cost more than the extra value re-
ceived from the sale of the seed.
AS a general rule weeds that pro-
duce seeds near the same size as the
commercial seed should come out. If
the field is too weedy it is best to cut
for hay. Every year the market for
dirty, low grade seed is becoming
less and less and it is Improbable
to grow such a product.
What to Rogue Out
Dodders are probably the worst
seed pest to the seed industry in
Idaho. If present in a field it will
generally show up in yellow patches.
However, the cutting out of these
patches does not insure the seed be-
ing dodder free, as the chances are
that there are some plants growing
singly, which are never seen. A very
small plant may produce large num-
bers of seed.
Buckhorn and bracted plantain
should be taken out. Seeds of these
plants are considered noxious in most
states and their presence in COM
mercial seed may condemn it for
sale.
The other weeds considered nOxi-
GUS in this state that should be
rogued out are mustards, quack
grass, Canada thistle, wild oats, dod-
ders, corn cookie and perennial SOW
thistle Poverty weed, night flower
ing catchfly, hoary cress, frenchweed
and Russian knapweed are also seri-
Gus seeds to look for in rogueing.
In addition to these there are
three more common weeds producing
thousands of seed per plant that
should be dispensed with. These
are Russian thistle, water grass and
green foxtail; all of which produce
seed similar in size to alfalfa or red
clover seed. In white and alsike
clover fields the pig weeds and lambs
quarter should be rogued out as
seeds of these plants cannot be taken
out in the cleaning process.

THE BLOW-UP AT SHELBY

A number of things have beer
demonstrated and proven by thu
fiasco at Shelby, Montana on july
Fourth and one of them is that i
Is useless for a small town to try
big town stuff, and another Is thai
hectic" advertising and forced pro
motion such as Shelby attempted
and failed in, produces no good re-
suits.
Idaho and Idaho communities
have attempted that in times past
have failed and hurt themselves and
the state.
There may be a little temporary
flash in the pan, publicity that gets
the name of the community in print,
maybe on the first page, but the
@'kick back destroys any good which
might have been accomplished.
Shelby attempted to do something
that it was not prepared to do and
instead of being looked upon as a
good town is looked upon as a chick"
town, and a community of people of
poor judgment. The promoters in
stead of making a cleanup are prac-
tically bankrupt as are most of the
camp followers.
The "art" of prize fighting has re-
ceived set back, as people become
disguised with the cOmmercialism of
the once-upon-a-time real sport and
refuse to travel long distances, pay
big prices and be convenienced in
order to see a so-called champion
pull down hundreds OF thousands of
dollars in few minutes time.
The blow-up at Shelby will kill the
game for all time so far as small
communities are concerned, and the
lesson learned can well be passed
along down the line, for it is after
all the rather conservative commun-
ity, the place that offers an oppor-
tunity for conservative investment
and where taxes are not abnormal
and living conditions are good that
attracts citizenship that counts.
Had the fight been a success, had
the expected thousands attended and
the promoters made good Shelby
would have profited but little and no
constructive results would have been
obtained.
The straining for effect and to Sc
cure temporary publicity pays poor
dividends, while on the other hand
constructive living conditions brot
about by constructive effort offers an
attraction that is not lived down in
a few months but grows and builds
up.-IdahO Falls Register.
