RECOVERY SHOWN
IN AGRICULTURE
Farmers utting Disappointments
Behind and Are Laying Hopes
in Coming Season

Slow but continued improvement
in agriculture is shown in the month
ly review of the United States de-
partment OF agriculture. Farmers
have endeavored TO put behind them
the disappointments of last year and
are looking toward the coming sea-
son with higher rope. Potatoes and
spring crops are already being
planted I'm some parts of the south.
An increase in the number Of
swine on farms and a prospective in
crease in the number of pigs to be
narrowed this spring are indicated.
Sheep increased one million head the
past year a natural response to
hree-dollar-a-head price rise, the de-
partment says. A slight increase in
dairy cows and in other cattle was
shown on January l, as compared
with January /, a year ago. The
horse industry continues to decline,
as shown in the decreased number OF
horses on farms.
THE cotton belt continues to
stand out as a region OF improved
conditions" the department finds.
Its higher prices represent real in
flux of new money, not merely trad
ing between farmers or other groups
within the territory. The south has
been buying some northern pork and
lard,-a fact that should be hitched
up TO the well-sustained price of hogs

In the eastern part of the country
there are some uneasy Inducements
in the dairy industry and generally
declining milk prices. The corn belt
is generally optimistic. and talking
more pigs. Winter grain looks good,
but the western part OF the wheat
belt has suffered from both drouth
and freezing. Wheat men are some

TO THE GROWERS or
TIRE LUSCIOUS sPUD

During the summer months Of the
past season representatives OF diff
ferent firms dealing In perishable
produce, canvassed this and other
sections. using the smooth side OF
the English language inducing grow
ers to enter into contracts. whereby
they agreed that these firms should
handle their crops ON consignment.
The major portion OF the acreage
was signed up. These firms have been
shipping this produce for a stipuIat-
ed sum for services rendered. But
the grower. owing 20 conditions OF
production. and having no cash
buyers ln the field. has been recelv-
ing very little for his produce.
II appears TO the writer that pro-
duce handled in this manner does
not get as good results. 10 the grow
er. as IL bought outright. II seems
that carload OF produce. owned BY
the grower. and handled for a COM
mission by the dealer, would not get
the same amount OF effort. expense
and care, In making sale for the high
dollar, as II this same car was owned
by the dealer and this same dealer
had his hard cash tied up in the
shipment
IL seems when firms have large
amounts OF produce on hand TO move
on a consignment basis. they are
more prone 10 keep rolling the stock
regardless OF market conditions than
II they owned this same stock. They
seem inclined 10 roll cars into mar
kets already overstocked and thus
force low weak market still lower.
Who is the loserg
From information gathered at
consuming centers and at destina-
tion points the opinion OF many IA
that so much stock being consigned
has been quite a factor In keeping
prices down. Shipments have kept
coming with tracks already standing
full OF cars unsoId. This means un-
load at a lower price. avoid demur-
age and a possibility OF not getting
freight charges. The government re-
port OF the marketable holdings In
the 10 surplus producing states az
OF Jan. 4. 1919, was sb.s per cent.
which In identical to the per cent
holdings the same date. 1921. Com
pare this seasons market with 1921.
or course we have more spuds this
season. but not enough more 10 JUS
tify the difference in markets for
the two seasons.
I would like To suggest that
we growers call q meeting In
the near future 90 be held somo
evening In Filler, for the purpose
OF discussing and considering
ways and means for the best In

cious spud.

mittedly being the best that has been

SECOND ANNUAL
AGRICULTURAL
BANQUET HELD
High School Boys With Their Lead
err. Fathers and Other Guests,
Mingle Together.
(By Jay HANFoRD)

We live in an agricultural COM
munity In an agricultural state. IL
is gratifying to learn of the legisla-
ture doubling the annual appropri-
alton for the teaching OF agriculture
in our schools. The crux of the So
luton for the rural life problem is
TO educate youth to live independ-
emily upon the farms, rather than TO
become pen-wielding wage slaves In
some more urban center. And such
training is the more beneficially Sc
cured where youth and parent and
teacher cooperate. There is the po-
tential trinity with which our eco
nomic salvation lies.
They were all met together last
Wednesday night-the boys, their
fathers and their instructors. The
occasion was the second annual ag-
ricultural banquet, given In the halls
of the high school. No more con-
structive force has been exerted this
year than this fusion OF the sympa-
thies OF the fathers with their sons,
than this interchange of interest and
plan and purpose-all in the social
center OF the community-the
school.
There were 70 fathers and sons
sitting about thables adorned with
place cards, favors and agricultural
emblems. The spirit was fine. The
evening was alive with barnyard
calls from 20 whistles. Now and
again, <. F. Woodbridge, who is in
charge OF the agricultural work in
the school, would rise in his prac-
tised toast-masterly dignity, tell a
yarn and call upon some speaker for
his toast, thus punctuating the corral
clatter with spurts OF sense. There
was also group of young ladies
who cheered the evening with music.
The guests of honor we're the ia
theirs, the board of education, Editor
Masters of the Twin Falls Times,
County Agent r. f. Brossard, John
Feldhusen OF the agricultural de-
partment of the Twin Falls high
school. All of these gentlemen made
addresses. The boys
who gave toasts were George Det-
weller, Ralph Newberry. James Cal
vert, Walter Honderick and Charles
Lapp. G.. II. Shearer spoke for the
board. Principal G. +. Denman
spoke in his straightforward. com
nonsense way. ii. II. Schildman
spoke for the fathers to their boys.
The agricultural department OF
the school is co-ordinated with the
domestic science department of
which Miss Jessie Thornber is the |
instructor. The girls did valiant I
service. laying before the young
farmers such a chicken dinner as
would encourage the lads to live al
ways on the farm. were there such 4
cooks to preside at the head of each !
farmstead and such chickens on the
roost.
Probably a school does its best I
work when IL relates the parent I
closely to itself and when IL edu-
Gates youth to dwell and work in /
their own community.
That this is being done was mani
fest at this banquet-an event which .
did credit to the agricultural depart
ment and the domestic science de-
partment, an event which for its
pleasure and for its constructive sug-
gestion will be happily recollected
by all who attended.
