tiated during 1924 will be continued
on a large scale during the coming
year according to the program tenta-
lively outlined by the directors of the
club. Educational talks along the
lines OF the characteristics and habits
of our game birds and fish will form
a large part of the programs to be
arranged for the general meetings to
come. The first 1925 general meeting
of the membership will ba held at
some time early in January and it is
expected that there will be a large
turnout as an excellent program OF
music, motion pictures and instruc-
tive talks will ba offered the member
ship.
The enthusiasm displayed at the last
general meeting of the club member
ship at which the officers and directors
for 1925 were elected, indicated that
the entire membership is "rarin to
go" in making the coming year a
notable one in the ANIMALS of the
sportsmen in this territory.

team-members. II is conservatively
estimated that a membership OF at
least two-hundred members viii be
attained in a very short while.
One of the biggest and most worthy
OF the proposed activities for the COM
ing wear is the formation and opera
ton OF the Civilian Rifle club which
is now in the process OF organization
The United States Government is be-
hind this move and will furnish all
rifles. ammunition, targets and other
necessary equipment free of charge
to Caldwell Rod and Gun club mem
bers for use in target practice. 1t is
confidently expected that a team OF
marksmen will be developed who will
be sent to Camp Perry, Ohio to COM
pete for prizes during 1925. The fact
that an almost unlimited supply OF
guns and ammunition can be obtained
from the Government for the use OF
the club members, and that 1t will
be furnished free. will put the rifle
target practice within reach of every
member of the club during 1925. An
other benefit to be derived from men,
bership in this organization is the
fact that Government rifles and am
munition may be purchased by the
membership at much below even regu-
lar wholesale cost.

Send Resolution
The entire resolution was prepared
Sunday and forwarded by mail to the
Idaho delegation to supplement the
brief message sent Saturday night
The resolution reads as follows;
"Whoreas-Thcre has been passed
by the congress of the United states
a reclamation relief act based on the
reclamation fact. finders commission
report and known as the Cooding re-
lief measure. which requires before
il can become operative that feder-
ally constructed reclamation projects
be taken over by organized bodies
representing project settlers. either as
irrigation districts or water users
associations; and,
Whercas-Thc need for relief from
of construction and other
charges and of such relief as the
aforesaid law provides, is urgent; and
Represents Settlers
Whereas-The Caldwell CONNER
cial club is only interested in obtain
ing such relief for project settlers at
the earliest possible moment without
regard to the instrumcntalities Tor
such relief but recognizing that for
the purpose of negotiating such a re-
lief contract there exists only one
qualified organization representative
OF the Payctte-Boisc project; namely
the Payctte-Boise Water Users asso-
citation and board OF directors OF
which L. ]. Magee is the legally sell
ectod secretary; this association re
presenting an overwhelming majority
of settlers on the Boise project; and.
Whercas-The negotiation of a CON
tract is a necessary preliminary ster
toward placing this project and It's
settlers to profit from the Goodine
relief bill and negotiation of said
contract in no wise implies continued
management OF the Boise project by
any organization operating Under
Idaho statutes as now existing; and.
Can Change Law
Whereas-A session of the idaho
legislature is impending where sicf
alterations as the department Of the
interior or reclamation burelu may
require as necessary steps in taking
over the management of The Boise
project can be made. providing sue
requirements are set forth in a pro-

"GUSHER" Balls
DRY ON FURTHER TEST

A Casper communication says that
tests of the California company
Subsidiary of the Standard Oil COM
pany of California; on the Byron
structure is being drilled deeper
with a total depth reported on De-
cember 10th of approximately $500
feet. The plan now is to pick up
the pipe and ream the hole down to
the present depth and then reset
the casing and drill on down to the
Dakota series expected at about A.
600 feet. This test was heralded
as a well in a number of newspa-
pers last week and as a result 2
cor Dr. more of scouts hotfooted
ii to Lowell and Powell and drove
out to take a squint at the "gush-
err"
The well had considerable gas
and some oil. 1t sprayed quite q
little oil at first, but on a test soon
bailed dry. 1t is thought that it
would have made a five-barrel wei!
if produced where the oil and gas
were found at 2,769 feet. The To-
cation is in section 3~4-56-96, about
four miles southwest of Lowell. A
certain Importance attaches to the
test, however, as it is located in a
territory where there are a great
many structures and which has been
tested quite thoroughly. 1t Is re-
ported that the California test is
close to a very pronounced fault
and if this be true, it will probably
lead to more detailed geological in
vestigation of that locality result
ing in the discovery of similar edn-
ditions thai may be regarded IA
yorable for drilling.

WYOMING ANNUAL CROP
REPORT FOR YEAR 1924

The total value of Wyoming crops
this year is estimated at $685.
900, or $1,015,0 600 less than that of
1928, according to the annual crop
report issued by the U. S. Division
of Crops and Livestock estimates.
The farm value for all crops is
somewhat higher this year than last
but due to the lower yields of hay,
the all important crop, and corn
and potatoes, the total value is
lower.
The total value of the principal
farm crops is estimated to be $25.-
100000, as compared with $685.
900 for 1928, and $2,546,0OO for
1922. The average farm value per
acre for these crops is somewhat
lower, being $1,000 this year, as
compared with 1883 last year and
1890 two years ago.
Yields per acre of corn, oats, rye,
potatoes and hay, both tame and
wild, were lower than il 1923, due
largely to dry weather during the
critical stages of the growing sea
sen.
The total acreage of the prin-
cipal crops is $1,596,0O0 or $4,000
acres less than hat of 1923, but
5000 acres greater than in 1922.
The greatest decrease in acreage
was in spring wheat which showed
$4,000 acres less than that of last
year. An increase is noted in corn,
winter wheat, oats, barley, and tame
hay.
There was a slight increase over
last year in the hay acreage which
makes sc e cent of the total acre
age in principal crops and 54 per
cent of the total farm value of all
crops. The hay crop this year is
valued at $15,761,OOO, as compared
with $16,5O5,O00 in 1928 and s14,-
49, 900 in 1922.
The estimated acreage, average
yield per acre, production, farm val
ne are based upon prices on Deem
Der l, and average value per acre
OF the principal crops are shown in
tabulated form in the report.
Winter Wheat and Rye Sown

wheat this fall is 80 per cent larger
than that of 1928 and comprises

The condition as OF December 1 is
SO per cent of normal, OF the same
as reported last year. The ten-year
average condition on December l is

The rye acreage seeded this fall
is $4,000 acres, or an increase of Is

as on December 1 is 95 per cent
