pase of 3 COTTONW ~ VOLUME 31. NO, 8 COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1928 ~ $2.00 PER YEAR ASSOCIATION BULLS ARRIVE WIMER RETURNS MONDAY WITH THOROUGHBRED CATTLE FROM COAST The Guernsey bulls bought re- cently in Washington by Frank | Wimer of this city for the Idaho! County Bull Association arrived | in the county Monday and were | distributed to their respective blocks. They are the finest specimen | of dairy animals that have ever been seen in the county and it would do any dairy fancier good | to see these splendid bulls. They range in age from ten to} fifteen months old, it being nec-| essary to buy younger animals | than they expected, to get indi-| fidual breeding and heavy back-| ing of butterfat production. Mr. | Gabby of the University of Ida- ho, who assisted in selecting the bulls said that they were as fine} a lot of individuals as it had ever been his pleasure to view. They are good enough that they can well afford to limit their service for the next few months | and give them an opportunity to) develop. Each animal is an out- standing representative of the Guernsey breed and is backed by the best of breeding and heavy production. Francesca’s Leader View Farm was placed in the| Cottonwood block. His dem made a record of 710 pounds of | butterfat on farm care. Fran-| cesca’s Butternut his half broth-| er on his sires side was placed in the Grangeville block. His dam | who is a half sister of the 710) pound dam of the first men- tioned bull has a record of 604 pounds of butterfat on ordinary farm feeding and handling. Fir- crest Robert Bay whose dam produced 592 pounds as a junior } three year old was placed in the; Greencreek block. His dam as a} mature cow should be well up to- wards the 700 pound mark. Bak- er View Silver Tip went to the} Ferdinand block. This bull took second place at the Whatcomb}| county, Washington fair in a} very strong field. His dam pro-| duced 600 pounds of fat on ordi- nary farm handling. These bulls have been well raised and are growthy type fellows and will undoubtedly grow into won-| derful sires to head the blocks. | One hundred and twenty cows are signed up at present in the| four blocks and it is expected that now the bulls are on the ground a good many men who| of Hill) have previously expressed a de-| sire to join will become members of the association. A maximum limit of 60 cows was placed on} each block and when the demand for service exceeds this num- ber other blocks will be added. No one but members of the asso- | ciation will be allowed the ser- vices of the bulls. If you have a good cow you can not afford to not make use of this excellent breeding. It costs you $10 per; cow to join which gives you breeding for ten years or as long as the bulls continue to be ser-| viceable. In addition to the importation of the bulls three bred heifers and two registered Guernsey calves were brought in. C. O. Vincent getting a Guernsey bred | heifer which is a beautiful type of that breed and comes with a} production record behind her of about 500 pounds of butterfat. She has all promises of develop- ing into a high producing cow. William Spencer of Fenn also bought two Holstein heifers but} when He received them from the | train he had three, one of the} heifers bringing a heifer calf in} transit. .These heifers e-me with production of about 600 | pounds of butterfat. MAIL TO RICE CREEK. The first mail to be taken to the new Rice Creek post office reestablished by the post office department will leave the local office Saturday. A three times a week schedule will be main- tained between the new office and Cottonwood, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Jean Abercrombie has been named as the carrier. MORE FIGURES. In last week’s issue of the Chronicle, County Agent Gray- | son gave out a statement regard- ing the cost of his office for nine months. A. B. Rooke, one of Cottonwood’s well known. citi- zens wished to know what the office cost the county for the entire year and to obtain this in- formation he requested Henry Telcher, the county auditor, to supply him with the figures. At the request of Mr. Rooke we are republishing the portion of Mr. Telcher’s letter relating to the county agent’s office which was as follows: “The county has been paying the county agent $100.00 {per month end expenses and fur- nishing him a car, this does not | include $100.00 per month selary he gets from the exten- tion department of Idaho. “My annual report will show that there has been expended | for the year 1922, on account of the office of County Agent} $2,795.29 from which $50.10) should be deducted for a refund. | This does hot include the pur-| chase of a car last summer, the prics of which was about $600.00 which, of course, the county re- tains, what ever the value might be estimated at.” CLUB FAVORS $1.75.

Senate bill number 4478 which was introduced in the United States senate, February 5, by U. Gooding of Ydaho and which is the talk of the entire nation at this time, especially in the farming sec- tions and has to do with the fixing of the guarantee price of $1.75 a bushel for wheat at ter- minal points for a period of 3 years and was twice read in the senate and referred to the com- mittee of agriculture. In a letter received by the Chronicle this week from Sena- tor Gooding and also a copy of the bill among other things he remarked: “I hope to have hearings on this bill in a day or two. I was forced to go to the hospital or this bill would have been introduced sooner with a better chance of passing at this session.’ As the exact contents of the bill is of such vital interest to our readers we publish it in its entirety as follows: To promote argiculture by stabilizing the price of wheet. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in ‘Congress assembled, That this Act may be cited as “The Wheat Prices Stabilization Act of 1923.” Sec. 2.

Passage of the direct primary bill by the house of representa- tives of the present Idaho legis- lature, was not a_ surprise, al- though the vote for the measure | was larger than the advocates of the bill anticipated. The action of the house, however, has} brought the primary issue into | prominence, until it looms as one of the most paramount before the present session. A bitter fight is expected to be waged by the champions and the oppon-| ents of the measure. The bat- tleground will be the senate. A majority of the members of that body are pledged to the passage | of the measure. If the bill is| passed by the senate, it will then be for Governor Moore to decide | whether or not Idaho is to con-| tinue to nominate its congrcs-| sional and state officials direct- ly by the people, or by conven- tion. Governor Moore said in one of his addresses during the | campaign that he would sign a} Republican primary bill but he would not sign a mugwump measure, which has been inter- preted to mean he would approve | a measure drafted by Republic-| ans but not one the product of a} combination of political party | interests, Other Legislative News.
