Big Cattle Company To
Develop Dairy Industry

Last week representatives of tn,
Swauger Land and Livestock com
pany of Mackay, purchased in Wis
consin 165 head of Holstein cattle
including Wisconsin prize winning
bull. The cattle were shipped last
Monday and were due to arrive al
Mackay on December "a. These
Holsteins are said to be from the
best producing strains in the
country and will give the Swauger
company Holstein herd of about
$50 head.
According to an account of the en-
tering of this company into the
dairying industry on a large scale
the Mackay Miner says:
The Swauger Land and Livestock
company was originally "cow out
fit'' and while the range cattle in
dustry was never abandoned, the
concern finally developed into one Of
the largest ''sheep outfits of the
whole central Idaho range country.
Last spring ]. w. Swauger stocked
the home RANCH" near Mackay,
Will u hO60 VI 11OlotOino IL OA tnC
University of Nevada herd, and after
an experiment of about six months
with this grade of livestock the Of
ficers of this company decided there
was more money to be made in
dairying and producing high grade
Holsteins than in any other branch
of the livestock industry, in which
they had been engaged. While the
company will continue to engage in
range cattle and farm flocks of
sheep, they will specialize on the
dairy cattle industry and will also
put with the cows on the several
farms the pig and the hen.
The following report of the pur-
chase of the herd of dairy cattle by
the Idaho men is taken from the
New London, Wisconsin, Republic
can:
A party of Idaho men including
Frank and Floyd Swauger and Jack
Carr, of Mackay, Idaho, representing
the Swauger Land and Livestock
company, accompanied by c. G. Gig
noux of Salt Lake City, Utah, are in

tie for shipment to Idaho. They
have already made some purchases
and expect to ship about 100 high
class animals from this section to
stock Idaho farms. Mr.. Gignoux, !

way system, states that the pur-
,hases are the result of the visit of

Mike Barclay Ready
With Lambs for Show

Michael Barclay, prominent sheep.
man of Blackfoot, has entered car
load of Hampshire fat lambs for ex-
hibition at the Ogden livestock show
to be held January to 10, inclusive.
Mr.. Barclay has exhibited the grand
champion carload of fat lambs at the
past three Ogden shows and accord
ing to letter made public by the
managers of the show, Mr.. Barclay
believes he has the best exhibit this
year he has ever shown. In his let
ter Mr.. Barclay says:
II have been informed that you
have received the entries for the
carload Of lambs which won grand
championship at the Pacific inter-
national livestock show held at Port
land, Oregon, November l to 8. l
am told that the Portland lambs are
the best load ever exhibited at that
great international show. This all
sounds good to me, as have by far
the best load of lambs that l have
ever exhibited at a livestock show,
and if the Portland grand champion
load defeats my lambs will take off
my hat to them"
With entries in the carload of fat
lamb class already received from
Rich and Wilson of Burley, Idaho;
Del Adams, Layton, and the Dang
berg Land & Livestock company of
Nevada, with other entries
yet to be received, Manager Whit
lock states that the fat lamb section
at the coming Ogden show will
eclipse anything ever seen at past
shows.

Commissioner Praises
Asylum Management

State institutions under super
vision of the department of public
welfare have sufficient supplies on
hand to last until appropriations fol
the next biennium are available
lie welfare, announced at Boise Sat
urday, on his return from Blackfoo
where he attended a special meeting
of the board of directors OF the Ida
no insane asylum. Not a single
purchase will be necessary until
then, Mr.. Burrell stated.
AS commissioner, Mr.. Burrell has
charge of the Blackfoot asylum, the
Orofino asylum, the Soldiers home
In Boise, the Nampa institution for
feeble minded and the state sani-
tarium at Lava Hot Springs. Gov
ernor c. C. Moore accompanied the
commissioner on part of his trip.
Mr.. Burrell says the Blackfoot in
stitution has supplies enough to last
until April 1 at least. There is
plenty of everything, he says, and
the institution is operating efficient
ly under the direction of DR.. F. w.
Mitchell.
The commissioner says a great
saving of money is made by stocking
the institutions to run until the new
appropriations become available, be-
cause when goods are bought on
local requisition in small quantities
and the merchant knows ne is going
to have to wait three months for his
money, he raises the price. And
don't blame him." he added.
Mr.. Burrell says that in spite of
the fact that the institutions over
which he has charge are well stock
ed, there will be much money I'M
spent and this will be returned to
the treasury. Also, he says, by
virtue of having large stocks of sup
plies the institutions will not need
such large appropriations for the
next two years.
The asylum at Blackfoot needs a
new laundry, he said, but there is
not sufficient money in that part of
the institutions appropriation for
equipment to buy the new machinery
at this time. 1t will be necessary to
wait for the new appropriations be-
cause it is illegal to contract for
without the money.
Mr.. Burrell said that like other
water users of the upper Snake river
valley the asylum was contracting
for additional irrigation water from
the American Falls reservoir. This
water will cost about $1,000 and the
legislature will be asked to ap-
propriate for it.

RETAINING DEATH
PENALTY FAVORED
Warden of Idaho State
Prison Says Hanging
Deters Murder

\ IdahO's death penalty law for first
| degree murderers should be retained
on the statute books, John Shook,
warden of the state prison, says In
his biennial report, submitted to
Governor C. C. Moore Monday.
Mr.. Shook says 1t is reported that
efforts will be made to have the next
legislature repeal this law, and he
argues that without 1t there Is
nothing to dissuade would-be muir
derer or a hardened criminal from
taking a life. The large number of
murders In the United States Is due,
death penalty promptly.
The warden recommends an APP
preparation of approximately 1885,
900 to operate the prison the next
two years. He also recommends ap-
propriations- of $8,377.51 and 3d.
$3.50 for lions Cooperative Mer-
camille institution and A. e. HOrsley,
respectively, for machinery for tho
shoe shop, bought by the previous
administration without funds with
which to pay for it.
The material was Thought from
the Zion institution on a purchase
order issued June IL, 1928, on the
requisition Of the late w. l.. Cuddy.
former warden. The legislature
made no appropriation for this
amount, Mr.. Shook says.
In June, 1921, former Governor
D. w. Davis and Mr.. Cuddy entered
into an agreement with Mr.. Horsley
for the purchase of machinery, but
for which the legislature had made
no appropriation.
Mr.. Shook says that when he took
office he notified the two parties that
there were no funds available to pay
their claims, and asked them to re-
move the machinery II they desired,
but added that II they would leave
the machinery he would recommend
to the legislature that the claims be
paid.
During the two years, the warden
says, the shoe factory shows loss to
the penitentiary of $646.10, but that
orders for more than 81 900 worth
Of shoes are now on hand. This Is
a result of the states use" system
installed following a meeting of the
committee on the ALLEGATION of pris-
On industries, which met in Salt
Lake City April 8, 1924.
The warden reports that every
ablebodied man in the prison is en-
ployed. The prison population at
The present time is 279, with 253

INCREASED PROFIT
ON BETTER SPUDS
County Agent Suggests
Ways to Get Larger
Return on Crop

A good many farmers are wonder
ing what is going to happen to oul
potato crops In the future since &c
many other states and localities are
producing this crop that never sup.
piled local demand before. In con-
sidering the subject, we find that
Idaho producers standardized vari-
cites noted for their quality any
whore they are sold. The big dis
advantage, as everyone knows, Is the
distance from market. 1t is doubt
full question whether or not freight
rates will be materially lowered so
1t seems that this disadvantage must
be overcome by placing a better ar
ticle on the market at an advanced
price.
In the past, individual shippers
have advertised Idaho potatoes by
putting them in even weight new
branded bags and they have been
favorably received. If all of our
high quality potatoes were put up in
this manner, their demand would in
crease. We lose a great deal of adj
vertising from the fact that our po-
tatoes are often resold by someone
who does not care to advertize Ida
no, and also potatoes of inferior
quality are often sold as Idahos,
which never saw Idaho. We can
therefore increase the demand and
value of Idaho potatoes by giving
the trade a high quality potato put
up in branded overweight bags.
In order to make profit out of
this crop it is necessary to get high
yield per acre. Large business con-
Germs minimize the overhead ex-
pense by handling large orders of
goods at small profit per article.
When the sales from business con-
Germ are small the profits per article
must be increased or the business
fails. The overhead expense in
raising an acre of potatoes is not
much larger where big yield is Sc
cured than where a small yield is
obtained, the difference being in
picking, hauling. and sacks. The
small yield must either be sold for
a large price or loss in actual
money is sustained which means
failure. If we cannot depend on
getting a high price for potatoes
then we must get heavy yield to
make up the difference.
1t is we'll known that some grow
ers get from SO to 100 sacks of low
grade diseased potatoes to the acre
while some of the beet growers pro-
duce 800 sacks of high grade pota-
toes to the acre; the kind that the |
market wants and for which good |
price will be paid. How, then, are
we to get high yield of potatoes
which also carry quality?
1. Plant certified seed or seed
known to be high yielding and free
from disease. =
2. Plant large seed pieces on
land in high state of fertility.
8. Adopt the best known Gull
tural methods.
A. Keep the moisture content of
the soil as near constant as possible
after starting to irrigate Especially
true of Russetts).
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on seed. 1t is real economy
