PIONEER PROTESTS
PROPOSED CHANGE
Suggests Pocatello Be
Renamed and Called
Idahoburg

Opposition to any proposed change
in the name of the Snake river con-
tinues to be voiced by many residents
of the territory traversed by that
stream and its tributaries. The OPP
position is especially strong among
the earlier settlers and pioneers in
the valley along the Snake and SEN
timent among the descendants of the
pioneers is seemingly overwhelming
ly against abolishing the name of
Snake river. In letter to the
Times-Register of Idaho Falls, Eliza
auckland of Sunnydell has contrib
uted to the discussion the following
protest:
Pioneers of this part of the Snake
river valley who read the article
in last issue stating that the Poca-
tello club is offering purse of
$3.50 to the one suggesting the best
title as a name for the territory COW
cred by the Snake river and its trib
utaries, say emphatically: 1T does
not require new name, leave 1t
just as it is But If they insist that
the name idaho should be given t.
the river as has been suggested, why
not call the valley, idaho Valley
the mountains, idaho Mountains
the lakes, Idaho Lakes and to dis
tinguish them one could say north,
west, central, etc. The other rivers
should also be changed to something
like, short, long, wide, narrow or
deep Idaho, then when that is done |
we could rename Pocatello and call |
It 'Idahoburg.' We shall perhaps en-
.er the contest later.

School Board Effects
Saving to Taxpayers

Analysis of the budget estimate
| for Independent School District No.
| 8, for the school year 1924-1925,
| together with a condensed financial
statement prepared by L. ]. Chap
man, the clerk-treasurer of the dis
trict shows sound business manage
ment on the part of the Blackfoot
affairs of the district. Careful
thought in preparing budget of es-
timated expenditures and revenues
and strict adherence to budget al
lowances in the several departments
has made it possible for the board
to keep the city schools on cash
basis for the past two years, thus
eliminating the expense item of in
terest on current expense warrants
and in addition an appreciable re-
duction is being made In the indebt-
edness. 1t is noted to the credit of
the board that in face of contin-
ued high level of prices In all de-
partments of school administration
and operating costs, reduction of
one mill in the tax levy for this
year has been made possible. Care
full study of the financial statement
indicates that the board has gone
into each item of expense incident
to maintaining the city's education
al system and have exercised prac-
tical economy wherever possible
without impairing the efficiency Of
the system. The budget estimate
for the year calls for appropriations
totaling $105,425, with estimated
revenues of $105, 443.92. The levy
for 1924-1925 is fixed at 16 mills
as follows: General
fund, IL mills; bond interest and
sinking fund, mills; and wagon
and transportation fund, mill. The
valuation of the district is
placed at $3,S09,973.32.
In preparing the condensed state
ment of the financial condition of
the district and the budget estimates |
Mr.. Chapman, the clerk of the dis
trict, has shown painstaking care in
presenting statistics in a manner
that makes them clearly understand
able to the ordinary lay reader or
which in itself is feat
not usually accomplished in the pre-
paration of statements involving IL
nancial transactions. Both the
board and the clerk are apparently
working hard in an effort to secure
% the taxpayers 100 per cent service
or each dollar spent in support Of
he public schools of Blackfoot and
It the same time are keeping the
Ichools on a high plane of educa-
ional efficiency.

Business Women Hear
Report of Delegate

Twenty-one members of the Bust
ness and Professional Woman's clut
met at the Commercial club rooms
Monday evening where Mrs. Grace
Faulconer gave a very interesting
report on the state convention held
in Moscow last month. Mrs. Faul-
coner was the official representative
of the Blackfoot club at this con-
vention.
One of the important projects
which is being taken up by the state
organization is the personal research
work, to ascertain why there is so
much turnover among women in
business. An extensive survey will
be made throughout the state to
get information along this line and
to try and improve these conditions
in the future.
The educational program was also
discussed and each club was urged
to do something to assist young girls
in getting an education, either in the
way of a loan fund or scholarship.
Miss Mable Johnson of the John
son Millinery, was elected first vice
president of the state organization.
Miss Vera Bentley was elected chair
man of the membership committee
and Mrs. Grace Faulconer, chairman
of the program committee.
Miss Bentley reported at the meet
ing that she would be unable to at
tend the National convention at West
Baden and that Miss Matte Waters,
would attend.
The matter of holding an over
night swimming party to Lava Hot
Springs was discussed but no definite
action taken.
The halfway picnic with the Po-
catello club was brought up and Mrs.
Margaret Ward was appointed to see
Mr.. Bonner and secure permission
to use the grounds at the Fit. Hall
Indian school for this picnic. Miss
Julia Bithell will have charge of the
picnic, and the date and time will
be decided later.
Matte Waters explained that the |
system used by the
club to distribute Information and |
remind members of meetings did not
always work properly because of
some members being out of town.
She stated that this was in no way
IN invitation and that girls should
attend the meetings whether they
we're notified by phone or not.
President Vera Bentley read an
letter from Carrie Maudc
Zones, the new state president, urg-
ng the girls to continue their en-
husiastic work and outlining the

COUNTY TO LEAD
SEED PRODUCTION
State Inspector Predicts
Supremacy in Clover
Seed Field

During the past four days Waite
F. Thomas, county agriculture
agent, with C. B. Allison, field agron
omist and state seed commissioner
university of Idaho agricultural ex
tension service, have been conduct
| ing weed control meetings in this
| county. Three and four field dem
onstration meetings have been held
each day to acquaint the small seed
growers with weeds that are nox.
ious and inseparable in clover and
alfalfa seed.
The meetings in Shelley and Firth
districts have been we'll attended
and much interest has been shown.
Seed growers are making every eff
fort to produce No. l grade pro-
duct by rouguing out weeds from
the clover and alfalfa fields, which
are inseparable if harvested with the
crop.
Mr.. Allison says that Bingham
county promises to be one of the
leading clover seed sections of the
state and country as well as the
leading Grimm alfalfa section of the
world. From five to twelve bushel
yields can be expected from the red
clover fields seen so far. The aphids
which are often responsible for loss
to the red clover seed growers are
practically absent from fields in the
parts of Bingham county so far Wis
tied.
The greatest problem facing all
seed growers is the weed problem.
Five counties in southern Idaho,
Twin Falls, MinidOka, Cas-
STA, Jerome and Gooding, have or
ganized a weed district covering the
territory below the Minidoka dam.
The county commissioners have ap-
pointed weed commissioners to SUI
pervise the destruction of all -nox-
ous weeds growing along the canal
systems and highways before such |
weeds are allowed to seed.
They are looking forward to the
lay when the weeds along the canal
system of the upper Snake will be
destroyed in a similar manner. This
axes cooperation. Unless this is
lone the growers in this section can
lot hope to produce continually
70. 1 product, but necessarily will
,e required to take loss or from
our to nine cents pound for the
eed produced.
The growth along ditch banks can
re used to return profit. How?
BY pasturing ditch banks with live
took, especially sheep. Farmers
yho use this method not only keep
he ditch clean but also clear ap-
roximately $40 head on the sheep.
VERY farm should have a farm
lock of sheep. The fences may be
aid for in one season.
In addition to giving weed con-
roll demonstrations fields of grain
nd Grimm alfalfa are being inspect
