CALF AND PIG WORK

Some of the most effective work in
introducing of purebred stock in the
state is through the boys and girls
calf and pig clubs. Their work shows
practical results and often is copied
by their elders, The boy who has

The growth OF clubs composed of
young people who are taught the great
advantage to be gained by grading up
livestock and bettering the breed has
done much to advance interest in

know about the misrule OF their
rulers, the easier 1t was to continue
their methods. 1t was only within
the last century that freedom OF the
press came to be reality in the
world or any considerable part OF
1t, and that century marked the
greatest progress In the history OF
the world. He reviewed the history
of commerce and highways and
showed that roads and information
are the two greatest powers for de-
veloping commerce and better liv-
ing conditions, and it was fitting
that the press of the state should
be the ones to assemble there to ded-
icate this new artery of commerce.
Captain E. F. Ayers of the state
highway department made the for
NAL presentation of the road to. the
governor who accepted it on behalf
of the people of the state, and
placed the copper box containing
some of the history of the road in
court house lawn,

some of the cream and gold of some

of the things said at a banquet,
while they may be appreciated at the
time, would not be interesting If
told anywhere else in different set
ting. But the press club went north
to see and learn and to carry the
message of united Idaho wherever
they moved. Then they had the OPP
portunity to bring home and pass
on to their readers the vital things
that are equally good and valuable
whether said at a banquet or in
type. A few of those things with a

PLANTING TROUT IN
IDAHO STREAMS

The wisdom of the K of P. lodge
of Blackfoot In pushing the work OF
planting young trout in the noun
tain streams of this county appears
the more valuable and commendable
now, in view of the drouth that Is
killing off the trout in so many of
the streams of the west.
Wherever streams go dry for part
of the course, there is loss OF fish,
and wherever reservoirs are drained
or the water becomes very low, the
trout are lost. A reservoir on lower
Wood river valley near Fairfield was
drained recently and although the
state game department sent man
there in advance, to see II anything
could be done to. save the trout, 1t
was found impractical, and about
a thousand pounds of them were
lost '. sS-
AS the water was drained on to
low levels the fish suffered from heat
and contact with the mud. Efforts
to get them out and move them to
some other stream were fruitless.
When the gates we're finally raised
to draw of the last of the water, the
trout went down the canals and into
the bitches and fields where they
died, sick and of little value for
food.
1t is the same way all over. the
west, and trout fishing is being
wiped out in large areas where once
was good fishing. The localities
that provide good trout fishing in
future years will be more priced
than heretofore, and the men OF the
X. of P. lodge are to be congratulate
ed on having commenced their work
q year or two ago.
