PROsPECTORs IN IDAHO
 PAN S362, ,O5O

BOISE, April Il, -Prospec- tors, both old timers and amatuers which the. depression sent to the hills, have turned in sss2,o50 in gold in the past nine months. It is expected that the amount will reach $50O,000 by the end of the fiscal year, June 30.
 Last year the yield of Idaho creeks amounted to $247,O00 for the entire 12 months.
 Gleanings per man this year were in most cases small.
 Of the gold that came in from prospectors, 5S percent was in am cunts of $1OO at a time. Only 9 percent of 1t was brought in in amounts of more than S1,000.
 Oldtimers washed out the most but amateurs succeeded in gather ing considerable amount.

without having necessitated the ex-
penditure of a single dollar. The
semi-circular sides of the ravine, slop-
ing gently to the lake, form a natural
amphitheatre where visiting farmers
and their families hold picnics and
meetings during summer days.
In fact, the preservation of the
farms natural beauty, points out DIR.
Sheets, has been an objective ever
since the first lot of ground was OBJ
tanned. The farms development has
always been carried out with an eye
to the future, new buildings being
placed in positions that would be in
contact with increased acreage should
the latter be attainable by means of
Government appropriations.
The proposed New York to Wash
ington boulevard would pass through
the farm for a mile and half, and in
the event of its construction the park
commission can be counted on to uti-
lie the scenic advantages that the
farm offers. With the improvements
now under way Beltsvifie, besides be-
ing the largest experimental farm of
it kind, will be a Federal park that

Colds are fast erasing the summer

tall poplars stand guard about the

drabness of endless poultry yards and

out the expense of adding additional
stock.
AS Dr. Sheets points out, the OBJ
jective of the experiment station and
farms is not to increase production
but to decrease its cost, at the same
time raising the quality Of products
produced to as high a standard as
possible, achievements not so we'll un-
derstood by a few who hold the view
that research is partly responsible for
the depression by increasing the farm
er's efficiency to a point where he was
producing more than could be con-
sumed.
When it was considered, says Dr..
Sheets, that sixty to siXtyfive PEI
cent of a farmers income is derived
from his live stock, and that the i've
stock industry as a whole entails a
100000 annual turnover, the
funds expended on an experiment
farm for studying problems that the
farmer could not possibly hope to
solve alone are insignificant.
AS an example of money saved the
country, agricultural scientists point
to the eradication of Texas cattle
fever that in the late nineties was
prevalent on practically evc:y cattle
ranch as far north as the Mason
Dixon line, costing the country $780,
100000 annually in ruined beef. In
1892 Dr. Cooper Curtice proved the
cattle tick spends its entire adult eX-
istence on a steer and drops to the
ground only when ready to lay its
eggs. Almost at the same tine, DR..
Theobald Smith discovered that
Texas fever was caused by protocol
in the blood; that it was extracted by
the blood-sucking tick and transferred
in turn to the ticks eggs, tie newly
Matched brood injecting other steers
on which they later made their hone.
DISCRIMINATING the ticks was thus
obviously the way to check the fever.
NJ. S. Mayo, of Cube, laid the founda
ton for method b. his discovery
that an arsenic solution would kill
the ticks; unluckily, it also killed the
cattle at the same time. But DR..
Robert Chaplin Their completed the
study by perfecting the solution fer
use in great watts in which the steers
could be dipped without injury.
With the attainment of effective
weapons, the Department Of Agri-
culture was ready by 1906 to do battle
against the ticks. AS matter of
fact this campaign against vast para
sitical forces not infrequently became
something resembling warfare when
farmers, misunderstanding the objec-
tive of the departments inspectors
and veterinarians, used fists and guns
to drive them awav. An imaginary
line was drawn &C ,oss the country
dividing infected territory from areas
free of the ticks, and law was passed
forbidding the driving of cattle Eorth
or south over this line. In spite Of
men killed, lack Of funds and lack of
cooperation, especially in the more
southern states, the department had,
by 1882, twenty-six years after the
commencement Of the drive, stamped
out Texas fever from every state
south of the Mason-Dixon line except
portions of Texas, Louisiana, and
Florida. This was achieved at a

Also on the farm, so concealed by
pines and poplars as to be undis-

first plot of ground was purchased in
1910. And though new research prob
lens will be tackled, of course, the
studies that have occupied the farms
research workers for many years will
benefit not little from the improved
equipment and increased acreage.
For with the present ground and
equipment much has been accom-
plished. By means of an up-to-date
Strengthening house and laboratory the
carcasses and hides of cattle, sheep
and swine that have been bred and
raised under varying conditions are
tested and compared. The data thus
compiled has wide significance, since
this study has been given not only to
the animals raised on the Beltsville
farm, but also to the meat and hides
of live stock that have been shipped to
Beltsville for slaughter from the De-
partment's other experimental sta
lions, including those in the sheep and
cattle areas of the Far West.
Il
BY series of such tests, conducted
over number of years, knowledge
has been obtained that will react to
the advantage of the farmers purse.
1t has been found that lambs raised
on good pasture land yield meat as
palatable as that of lambs fed on
more expensive grain feeds. More.
over, contrary to the opinion that the
most economical way to fatten hogs to
market stage is to feed them all
they can eat, it now is discovered
that pigs fed limited rations are bet
ter able to utilize their food, requir-
ing much less feed per one hundred
pounds gained. Obviously this offers
an economical way to reduce produc-
ton costs when the market demands
a predominance of leaner cuts. 1t has
been found, too, that ewes flushed on
extra good pasture produce more
lambs than those flushed on grain;
that nutrition has more effect on wool
growth than temperature, rainfall, or
other climatic factors, while of inter-
est to the dealer is the proven fact
that tenderness of legs of lamb is in
creased by aging in cold storage at a
temperature of sc to 40 degrees from
seven to ten days after slaughter.
Furthermore, the discovery that
meats of animals of different breeds
do not show nearly the marked differ
ences in structure and palatability as
do individual animals of the same
breed (vigor and general physical de-
velopment affecting the quality of
meat rather than difference in type)
has convinced agriculturists that de-
velopment of superior families within
breed is an important step.
There is wide knowledge, of course,
of the fact that quantity of produc-
ton, besides being influenced by
proper feeding, is strongly influenced
by heredity, a discovery the possibili-
ties of which are being carefully ex-
plored by the dairy and dual-purpose
cattle breeding projects. Bulls that
have daughters that produce large
quantities of milk are classed as
proved bulls and are kept apart espec-
tally for breeding purposes. In this
way cows capable of, yielding an as
tonishing amount of milk have been
developed. Thus, by the use of proved
bulls, it is pointed out, farmers can
reduce their herds and at the same
