POTATO CROP OF
IDAHO ESTIMATED
Total Yield Beats Five
Year Average By Over
Million Bushels

Prospects for the Idaho potato
crop this year are 1881, 900 bush
els, according to julius Jacobson,
federal crop reporter, in statement
just issued by his department. This
compares with 10,854,0O0 bushels
indicated September 1, 11,725, 900
bushels harvested in 1928, and g.
100000 bushels the five-year aver
age from 1918 to 1922. Harvesting
is progressing rapidly under favor
able conditions, with markets rather
dull, most stocks going into storage.
Idaho's apple crop is only 40 per
cent normal this year and indicates
100000, bushels, against 100000
last year. There is an unusually
heavy damage from worms and frost
marks, so that carlot shipments will
be comparatively light. However,
demand and prices are good, per-
hitting some of the lower grades to
be shipped at a. profit. There is
quite a demand for cookers"
Jonathans and Delicious are short,
with Romes leading all varieties.
Tame hay averaged 1913 tons per
acre in Idaho this year for 2,016,000
2, 650,000 tons produced last year.
Spring wheat averaged twenty
one bushels per acre, against twenty
nine bushels per acre last year.
Winter and spring wheat combined
total 17,838,000 bushels harvested
in 1928. Yields this year were a
little better than expected earlier in
the season.

Crossing Streets and
Rule For Parking Cars

Last week we published an article
admonishing people to park their
cars at the 8 degree angle to the
curbing and about eighteen inches
apart instead of from two to six feet
as is now being commonly done.
We also mentioned the necessity OF
pedestrians observing the traffic
rules of crossing streets. F. G. Ros-
sitter says he has been studying the
matter and has concluded that the
street crossings are the most dan
gerous place a fOotman can find to
cross; the space between crossings
the safest.
When a person is about to step
into the street from row of parked
cars he has only to look to the left
until he gets to the street center and
then watch to the right. If he
crosses at the corners, he has to
watch more places than that. There
is traffic going in four directions,
with the chance that some of the
cars will double back at the corner
and come again after passing the
fOOtman once.
When there are two rows of cars
parked along the curbs there is apt
to be one starting to back out at any
instant and in that way shift the
course of the passing cars out of
their path, and that adds to the dan
ger of the footman.
No matter where the footman
crosses, he is always menaced with
the driver who goes too fast, the
drivers and footmen who lose their
heads and make the unexpected
move and the pinch between cars
when the one in the lead stops short
and is bumped by the car behind.
Deaths from auto accidents are
leading all others now, and the
record shows that there is great
need for the fool-killer. The best
slogan we know of for drivers to
keep in mind is, "Drive carefully;
you may meet a fool"

Idaho Delegation Urges
Building Capacity Dam

A delegation of prominent Idaho
men interested in reclamation prob
lens left last Saturday for Washing
ton, D. c., to urge upon Secretary of
Interior Hubert Work the advisable
| ity of completion of the American
Falls reservoir to capacity or 1,700,-
| 900 acre feet, rather than for the
1,045, 900 acre feet which has actu-
ally been contracted for by the sew
eral districts interested. The direct
ors feel that it would be mistake
to restrict construction to the capa-
city of acre feet contracted for stor-
age at this time for the reason that
there Is even now a sale for at least
100000 acre feet in the valley II
terms of purchase can be arranged.
The Gooding Irrigation district is in
the market for a large additional
supply of storage water and unless
the reservoir is built to capacity
there is little prospect for the dis
trict obtaining water out of Ameri-
can Falls for several years at least
Reclamation officials figure that
the saving possible by building the
dam to the capacity of 100000
acre feet at the present time will be
approximately 100000 as COM
pared with the cost of elevating the
dam higher at a later date. The
cost of storage would also be re-
duced from about 81 per acre foot
to about IS per acre foot of storage.
The board of the district will
meet at American Falls on October
Goth to open and consider bids for
the construction of the dam and the
efforts of the delegation at Wash
ington will be to induce the secre-
tary of interior to alter the specifica
lions upon which the bids are based
in order to provide for building the
reservoir to full capacity and COM
plete the construction at this time.
Among those who are in Washing
ton on the matter from Idaho are
Senator Frank Gooding, R. E. Shep-
herd, Commissioner of Reclamation
w. G. Swendsen and John w. Hart |
They will be joined at Washington
by Senator William E. Borah and
former Governor D. w. Davis of the
federal reclamation service. Con-
gresham Addison T. Smith inform
ed those interested recently that |
funds sufficient for completion of
the reservoir to full capacity were |
available and the movement was at |
once started to secure action to this
end. ~

Pocatello Interested
In Southeastern Fair

Wednesday was Blackfoot day a
the chamber of commerce at Poca
tello. A delegation of four people
was sent by the Blackfoot chamber
to put on the MONDAY program al
the weekly luncheon at the Bannock
hotel.
Pocatello wanted to know what
about the proposal to establish q
district fair for eastern Idaho al
Blackfoot and they wanted report
port on the national dairy show at
Milwaukee, and that was the reason
for the meeting together.
Chairman Cecil Clark of the
Blackfoot chamber delegated w. T.
England, chairman of the board of
commissioners, E. ]. Fjelstedt, the
man who knows more about the fairs
of the northwest than anyone else
here, and Editor Trego, to tell them
about the proposed new organiza-
ton, and Miss Grace Peck, secretary
of the chamber of commerce, to talk
on the dairy show.
Mr. Trego outlined the first sub
ject, saying it had been proposed by
people outside of Blackfoot and
Bingham county, that a great dis
trict fair should be established, and
our proposal is that we shall ask the
legislature to pass an enabling act,
to allow the twelve or fifteen east
ern counties of Idaho to organize as
does an irrigation district. The
fair to be governed and administer
ed by board of three or five direct
ors elected by the people at large as
district judges and congressman are
elected, one elected every two years
so there shall be a continuing board
and no complete change of member
ship at one time. A tax to be auth
orized for it's maintenance, and mol
requests to be made for state APP
preparations unless other districts
shall be organized with state aid.
Bingham county has the best fair
grounds in the state, fine piece of
property at the crossroads of travel
and centrally located, worth $4,000
and we will donate 1t to the larger
organization, on condition that IL it
ever dissolves or ceases to operate |
as a district fair, the property shall
revert to the present owners.
Mr.. Fjelstedt followed with re-
port on the great fairs of the north
west, ours being rated among them.
