Red Clover Seed Fields
Affected by Honeydew

Many of the fields of red clover
seed are affected with honeydew, a
sticky substance which adheres to
the leaves and seed pods and mixes
with the threshed seed causing it to
stick together in hard mass. The
following letter has just been re-
ceived from the state seed commits
sioner regarding the methods of ov-
grooming the damage.
There is great deal of honey
dew in the red clover seed in, all
sections of Idaho this year. II the
seed is delivered in bags in solid
mass the mass should be broken up
with a wooden mallet. The seed
should then be removed and placed
in a vat of water, stirred around for
a few minutes and then placed on
a canvas and allowed to dry. This
is about the only way of handling
honeydew seed.
''If you have rains during the
harvest season, you will have no
trouble with honeydew as 1t is wash
ed out in the field.
Another method to overcome the
cementing of the seed in the bags by
honeydew is to cut the crop and let
it dry very thoroughly in the shock
before it is threshed. If you do
not have the opportunity to harvest
the crop as soon as t is thoroughly
dry, stack it in ricks about six feet
wide so that it may go through the
sweating stage in a short period"

get others to rise. Frank Graham
of Twin Falls county opposed Sena-

and after he was beaten rose to an
nounce that he had been kidded
about not having the courage to OPP
pose Senator Borah on the floor of
the convention, and further stating
that a friend of his had bet him the
price of his expenses to the conven-
ton, and now that he had won the
bet he withdrew his opposition in the
effort to make it unanimous. An
other Twin Falls delegate rose to
announce that that delegation was

Borah In the interest of harmony.

Trained Hippopotamus
With AL Barnes Circus

She never dined at the Ritz nor
slipped tea in Greenwich Village.
No sir! Not Lotus. But regard
less of this fact, she can give the
average frequenter of the big res
taurant a lesson or two when 1t
comes to eating.
For Lotus knows all about table
manners, and why shouldn't she?
She eats a bushel of carrots and
bale. of hay every lunch hour and
washes it down with barrel OF
"auua pura." Lotus is the largest
and only performing blood-sweating
hippopotamus in the world. She will
entertain you when she comes to
Blackfoot, Monday, September 8
with the AL G. Barnes wild animal
circus.
Lotus doesn't mind being fat and
proves 1t by eating more and more
every day. And she's impatient
sometimes, when she's real hungry.
When her owner and trainer, AL G.
Barnes, is a trifle slow, she says,
LET go of those carrots AL G. and
make it snappy!"
Lotus Is only one of the 1000
trained wild animals and $50 edu-
Gated horses In the Barnes circus.
She will be seen in the two-mile par
ade, the opening lyrical fantasy pre-
ceding the sensational circus feature
of the age, "Pocahontas at the Court
of Queen Anne" the extravaganza,
which includes in the gigantic cast
over a hundred pretty girls from
sun-kissed California and three
tribes of Indians from Arizona, Ne
vada and New Mexico. Most of the
ballet and chorus girls in the cast
have appeared in west-coast motion
picture productions.
You will also see the greatest
movie star OF them all-Joe Mar
tin, himself.

OWNERS OF LAND
AROUND SALT0N
SEA PROTECTED

Property holders who have al
ready filed entries on land in the
area surrounding Salton Sea order
ed withdrawn by an execptive or
der on March 10, 1924, will be pro-
tected, according to letter written
by William Spry, commissioner at
the general land office in Washing
ton.
The letter, which was written on
March "a, was addressed to F.. w.
Greer, FL Centre. In it Mr.. Spry
enclosed a copy of the departmental
order of March II, 1924, denying
the petition of the Imperial Irriga-
tion district. He called attention
to the executive order of March TO-,
which reserves certain lands adj
joining Salton Sea for the purpose
OF creating drainage reservoir.
The copy of the general orde,
from the Department of Interior
and signed by Assistant Secretary
+. NJ. Goodwin states:
1.-THE commissioner of the general
land office and the director of the
Geological Survey reported that it
would not be advisable to grant an
easement under the act of March
a, 1917, to the said irrigation dis
trict, but that the lands should be
retained under government control.
In pursuance of this purpose all of
the lands involved were included
in Public Water Reserve No. 80,
created by executive order of
March 10, 1924. Any existing valid
rights will be protected and in due
course an investigation viii be
made to determine the extent of
the area which should be perman-
entity reserved
1t is stated that about 40 people
have property in the area affected
and that some of them are living
on their property there. The prob
lem of adjusting their claims is the
one referred to in Mr.. Spry's let
ter.
Irrigation district records show
that on January %, resolution
was passed by the board of direc-
tors which stated that adjustments
on bona fide claims would be made.

The request of the California

a conference, has been approved by
G. II. Hecke, director of the state

Joaquin Valley today began killing
eats and dogs wherever they were
found if not under leash or on

At the county line bordering the
closed areas many tourists may be
found stranded, unwilling to leave
their dogs behind and making up
their mind to return to the nearest
railroad station where they can
ship their pets through the closed
area. Dogs are the companions of
80 per cent of the tourists.
The quarantine is not being en-
forced without other protests. The
practice on the west side of the
San Joaquin is not only to run
automobiles through disinfecting
vats, but also to spray the interior
of the machines with a preparation
of sheep dip, an extremely odifer-
Gus preparation. Many autoists re.
fuse to submit to the operation and
return to Merced, only to be told
that the only way they can get
through to the west side is to allow
