ing from Phoenix, it looks as
though an investigation of Ralph

election campaign is to be con
Quoted in connection with the
probe into Attorney General
Daugherty's Office at Washing
ton.
In connection with this rumor
Major George K. Kelly State
Historian and editor OF the Doug
las International. writes to his
newspaper as follows:
The Investigation of the de
partment of justice since Attor
ney General Daugherty has been
at the head of it should not be
concluded until all the facts re.
garding the charges of election
frauds brought against United
States Senator Ralph Cameron
by indictment in Arizona are re-
lated to the committee. After
Cameron was indicted, it is said,
that the warrant for the ARREST
of the senator was sent to the
attorney general at Washington
where it was pigeon holed for
several months. Cameron final
ly returned to Arizona and gave
a bond for his appearance in
court to answer this Indictment.
Finally the case was dismissed
and the facts on which the in.
4dictment was returned we're
never related in court. It was
the general talk in Arizona that
Cameron was being shielded and
protected by the department of
justice in Washington. Surely
it would be proper for the com.
mittee now investigating Attor.
ney General Daugherty in Wash.
ington to delve into this case.
Thomas j. Flynn, who was Un.
tied States attorney in Arizona
at the time would be a grand
witness should the committee
desire to 60 into the delay and
final disposition of the Arizona
indictment against United States
Ssnator Ralph Cameron for vic.
lation of the election laws of the
nation and this state"
Supplementing Major Kelly's
remaks, it seems that it might
be worth while to investigate
also the rumor that during the
campaign there was deposited in
a Phoenix bank $61, 10000 to
Cameron's campaign fund by a
man named Williams, said to be
in close connection with John B.
Stetson, Philadelphia millionaire.
If this is true, what does the
millionaire hat manufacturer ex.
pect in return for his generous
and unlawful contribution?
1t IS also said that Stetson is
the man who testified before a
recent congressional committee
that be spent nearly $500, 900. 90
in an attempt to get a foothold
on the Colorado for hydro elec.
trio purposes.
Can it be possible that Stetson
is depending on Ralph Cameron
to help him grab these power
rights?
Truly, an investigation is in
order. Tombstone Epitaph.

AGRICULTURAL REVIEW
Cotton still holds the center {

the farmers intention to plant
during the coming season. Pres
ent indications are that the
states acreage will show an in
crease of 40, and possibly 50 per
cent over last year, when the
total was around $4,000. The
increase will be mostly in the
short staple varieties, and in
Maricopa county, which will
have about three. fourth sof the
total acreage.
Final production figures on

report, of January 16. showing

it is believed the total will come
up to the estimates of somewhat
over $4,000 bales. Ginning is

The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1924-07-17

In the industry and where natural
soil and climatic conditions offer
the greatest opportunity for devel-
oping to the fullest degree the pro-
duction of small seed, an industry
which seems to be inseparably link
ed with the future prosperity of agri-
culture in Idaho. Obviously it would
not be deemed advantageous to the
growth of the seed industry to hold
the state seed show in section of
the state where stock raising consti
tutes the principal activity, no more
would it be deemed advisable to hold
it in the mining or timber sections
nor in those sections where fruit
growing Is paramount nor in indus
trial or commercial centers, but in
the heart of the best seed producing
section, not only in Idaho, but in
the United States. Blackfoot offers
the most logical and best adapted
place for holding the state seed show
and extends an invitation to the or
ganization of seed growers, assur-
ing them a cordial welcome, together
with promise that the efforts of
every interest in the city and county
will be united in an endeavor to
make the seed show an outstanding
event in the agricultural develop
ment of the state.

BLACKFOOT PLACE FOR
STATE SEED SHOW

In determining the selection of
place for holding the state seed
show in January the body charged
with that responsibility will be gov
erned, it is assumed, by a desire to
select the best place among the sew
eral communities that may be can
didates for the honor To determine
which town is best suited for hold
ing the show it is necessary, first,
to consider the purpose for which
the show is to be held. There will
stimulate and advance interest in
the developing of the small seed pro-
duction industry in the state of Ida
no. Competition among seed grow
ers for supremacy in producing a
higher quality of seed is one of the
methods by which the production of
better seed is stimulated. Increased
acreage devoted to seed production
results from the exhibits and results
shown at the various shows, while
those who heretofore have confined
their efforts to the growing of other
crops are induced to turn their &C
tivities to the more certain and more
remunerative field of seed growing as
one way to improve their condition
If these illustrate to some extent the
purposes and results of the seed
show then it must necessarily fol-
low that the proper place for holding
such an exposition should be in that
community in which the greatest
amount of interest will be shown in
the exhibits, where the greatest slim
illus to the seed industry will re-
suit and where the greatest number
of new producers will be interested

typified by the Clays, Websters ana

Pinching Blackberries
by Successful Growers

Plnchlng the terminal ends Of the
young shoots of the black raspberries.
purple canes and blaCkberries early in
June is considered n good practice by
successful growers of bramble fruits.
The plnchlng Is done when the
shoots are u to IS inches high in the
case Of black raspbcrries. while pur-
pie canes and blackberries are often
allowed to grow to "a to SO inches.
The chief result of plnchlng is to
cause the shoots to send out lateral
branches from the buds along the main
stem. Plants which have been pinChed
are much lower and more self-sup-
porting. Plnching also keeps the
bushes more compact and makes them
easier to tend. Most growers will find
1t necessary to 20 over the patch sew
eral times to attain the best results.
Red raspberries are seldom pinched
since 1t encourages the growth Of
suckers and causes the shoots to send
out weak, splndling laterals.

Different Sprays Used
to Protect Apple Crop

Varieties of apples differ greatly in
their degree of susceptibility to fungi.
Immunity to one fungus, however,
does not imply immunity to another.
For example, one variety may be very
resistant to scab and susceptible to
hlotch, and another may be resistant
to blotch and susceptible to scab. The
spraying program can often be adjust
ed to advantage to meet these differ
ences. For example, Delicious, which
Is very susceptible to apple scab, should
receive all sprays designated ms lmpor-
tant In the control of this fungus, but
since Delicious is very resistant to
blotch, the sprays designed primarily
for blotch may be omitted. While
some varieties vary in susceptibility
to insect injury, these differences are
not great enough to warrant changes
