OPENS AT GREENRIVER

Automobile CA. A. Al association
announces the establishment of a
touring bureau at Green River, Wy
,oming, east of the principal point
of tourist diversion at Granger
where there has also been opened
an information office for the asso-
citation. Other bureaus are to be es-
tablished as fast as memberships
will permit, including one at yell
lowstone park.
idaho has not had its share of
auto travel" said the secretary of
the association. "Other states have
been doing what we should have
done. We have no quarrel with them
only self-criticism. We ought to
keep busy on this job, which is made
possible now, as never before by
the fact that the association is being
conducted on a public service basis.
"The demands for Idaho scenic
literature and other information has
exhausted our supply. This
has been caused largely by the whole
sale response to our advertisements
in more than 1875 newspapers in the
east, middle west and south Fresh
supplies will be available in a few
days and will be replenished as fast
as funds will permit. The Idaho |
scenic folder will be enlarged by
four more views, some additional |
from northern Idaho.'

Democratic party called to nomin-
ate candidates for president and vice
president is in session at New York
City this week, having been called
to order at noon Tuesday. Early
indications point to a hard battle

for the presidential nomination with
predictions being made that the dead
lock may result in the naming of
any one of a dozen dark horses"
Booms are being conducted for John

England, Senator Ralston of Indi
ana, Governor Silzer of New Jersey,
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia,
Oscar Underwood of Alabama and
many other favorite sons. Speeches
placing candidates names before the

RIVERSIDE FARMERS TO
IMPROVE DAIRY HERDS

About two years ago Jed Taylor
of Riverside became interested
enough in better dairying to try and
locate young sire with good records
back of him. The animal was lOcat-
ed thru the county agent and field
dairyman and was shipped from the
herd of Tom Killen at Boise. The
dam of this bull had an official record
of nearly six hundred pounds of
butter fat in a year and his sire
was son of the famous bull King
Segis 10th. Mr.. Taylor and his
neighbors have many splendid hei-
fers sired by this bull.
In order to determine the i'm
provement in this young stock Mr..
Taylor Joined the COW testing asso-
citation in which Bingham and
Bonneville counties are cooperating,
and which has Mr.. Burt Pease as
tester When the young heifers start
to milk a comparison between the old
cows and their daughters will be
made and this improvement deter
mined.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Taylor and
several of his neighbors formed a
bull block for the purchase of a
young bull since the older one had
been sold to similar block in West
Firth.
Sunday the young sire arrived
from Moscow, purchased on the
of Mr.. Atkeson,
head of the dairy department Of the |
from Theo. Roster. The |
dam of this animal has record of
16,773.5 pounds of milk, 631.59
pounds Of butterfat, equivalent to
1898 pounds of butter In a year
and the sire is from the university |
stock.
The bull arrived in fine shape and
The owners are we'll pleased with him.
He should make a decided improve
ment in the future herds of the
Riverside owners.
By the use of purebred sires of
nigh quality and thru COW testing
high producing herds
will be built up and the inferior ami
