The following story comes from South Idaho and will prove of great interest to our people here: “Tdaho is coming into its own, and especially is this the case in southern Idaho where this year there is more industrial develop- ment than has been known in the past ten years. The ag- ricultural sections were hard hit by the depression that followed the war but the farmers by re- trenchment and by different methods of farming including intensified and diversified farm- ing along with the stabilizing of the markets and prices are on their sure way to prosperity. “The agricultural prospects are exceptionally bright and the immediate future will see this fundamental industry entirely recovered from the depression following the war. Several cheese factories and milk evaporators have opened in the past few weeks in the state and registered dairy cows are increasing in number very rapidly. Diversi- fied farming, with no depend- ence upon one crop, and an in- come all the year around to the farmers will diminish the chances of bank failure and in- sure sound prosperity. Stock- men are now beginning to real- ize upon their work and there are bright prospects ahead for the sheep industry.” The point to be especially not- ed in the foregoing is that diver- sified farming is turning the trick in South Idaho. Down there they are going into the crops which pay the best, and not elinging to those which are merely the easiest to raise. To overcome the excessive prices the farmer is compelled by law to pay for most all manufactured articles, he must produce only the crops that bring him a pro- fit, whether he enjoys the diver- sion or not.—Nezperce Herald. CAN IT BE STOPPED. The movement from the farm to the city last year is estimated by the Department of Agricul- ture to have been approximately 2,000,000 persons. What is it that attracts so many young as well as older folks to the cities? The answer that one would re- ceive without much thought would be the “bright lights.” This however, according to many men who have made this pro- blem a study, is not true to any great extent. They give their reasons as the failure of farmers making any money ow their farms, as being underpaid for ¥) their products and the high wages paid for labor in the cities. |The farmer after all is the backbone of the country and should they all migrate to the cities what will become of the Give the farmer more of the speculator’s profit and everything will turn out all right. MUST HAVE FOUR LEGS A stock salesman was trying to pry loose the golden dollar from a Cottonwood farmer, but Mr. Farmer had had his experi- ence with watered stocks and “get-rich-quick” schemes and had made up his mind to stick to his own business. The stock salesman, after a wonderful canvass and the paint- ing of the most beautiful word picture, said: “Now, Mr. Jones, you know this company hasn’t got a dollar’s worth of watered stock in it. How much are you going to buy?” “Young man,” he said, “the next stock I buy is going to have pio} legs, and I will water it my- self.” Some would have us_ believe that in California the women are all art models, the men all gen- tlemen of leasure with their pocketbooks bursting with $20 notes, where one can raise crops without working, where auto- iles will run without gas and nM | mobiles ¥uj where there is nothing to do but | 26-5 enjoy the sunshine from morti« ing until night. California is no exception to the rest of the world, where one finds sorrow, enjoyment, where some men suc- ceed and others fail, where some women are fat and others lean and where one must work to earn a livelihood unless he is possessed with a large amount of money. Many home seekers go to California with a picture of their new home as_ described above and some also return with a far different opinion.

Grangeville’s street improve- ment plan took definite shape at an adjourned meeting of the city council Tuesday night, when an ordinance was’ passed providing for the macadamizing of twenty- four blocks within the city, and a special bond election was called for Tuesday, July 24, when qualified electors of the city, who are taxpayers, will vote on a proposed $15,000 bond issue, to finance the improvement. Two- thirds majority is required, in order that the bond issue may carry.—Free Press. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. Department of the Interior, U. S. Land Office at Lewiston, Idaho, June 12, 1928.
