Crops of This Year Will Total Over
3000 Car Loads of Produce
(Nampa Leader-Herald)
According to previous arrangement,
a number of farmers came in Tuesday
evening for further discussion of the
possibility of securing an electric line
into the Deer Flat, Sunny Slope, Riv
ersiSe, Lakeview and other rural sec
tions, south and west of Nampa.
The farmers brought along quite a
batch of statistics showing the pos
sible tonnage in the territory of the
proposed road. Louis Yoder, chair
man of the committee, read the data
gathered. From the report it was
shown that with normal crops, this
territory will have over 3000 cars of
farm products to ship out this fall.
This does not include wool, hay, grain
and other products, which / would
come from the Gem District and the
Jordan Valley country. Neither does
it count freight intp the country, such
as coal, farm machinery, merchandise
and the like. Neither did it take into
consideration the fact that a car of
milk would come out every day it
there were any way of getting it here.
All estimates weqp seated down
from what the tarmers felt sure would
be the actual tonnage.
The tacts and ugures will be re
checked and verified, put into shape
and presented to the Traction com
pany. it is hoped that they will ap
peal to the company as sutticient in
ducement to build into that country,
it is hoped, too, that the officials will
go over the territory and from their
own observation learn that there has
been no exaggeration in the report
that will be suomitted to them.
There were from twenty to twenty
five people at the meeting and all took
a lively interest in the proceedings.
If the united effort of the business
men of Nampa and the farmers of
that section can be of any avail there
will be a road.

GOVERNMENT CROP
REPORT FOR MAY
Bright Outlook for Winter Wheat
The outstanding feature of the
May first crop report is the record
breaking condition ' of the United
States winter wheat crop and the in
significant acreage abandonment re
sulting from winter killing, sdil blow
ing, pests, etc. The May first condi
tion of 100.5 per cent of normal is
the highest on record ,and the per
centage of abandonment, 1.1 per cent,
is lower than any year as far back as
1900. This means, that of the 49,
261,000 acres seeded last fall, some
48,224,000 acres remains to be har
vested, forecasting a yield of 899,
000,000 bushels compared with the
558,449,000 bushel yield of last year;
Idaho's winter wheat came through
the winter with but a 2 per cent loss,
leaving 224,380 acres foi; harvesting.
A condition of 100 per cent forecasts
a production of 8,798,300 bushels.
The crop is making satisfactory pro^
gress in all sections of the state.
Rye Production Doubled
W^th an area of some 6,000 acres
in this state and a condition of 101
per cent of normal May 1st, a pro
duction of 121,200 bushels of rye is
forecasted compared with 60,000
bushel last year.
Little Ha v on Hand
Besides the large amount of hay
fed in the state, shipping has been
active from the irrigated sections to
outside points. Only 4 per cent or
82,320 tons of last year's crop still
remains on farms, compared with
257,000 tons on hand last year.
The acreage to be harvested for
hay is practically the same as last
year. With a condition of 99 per cent
of normal for the preliminary esti
mated area of 780,000 acres, a pro
duction of 2,293,000 tons is indicated.
Plowing and Seeding Retarded
Plowing for spring planting was
83 per cent completed compared with
85 per cent completed May first last
year. Spring planting was 70 per
cent completed compared with 75 per
cent completed May 1, 1918.
Mortality and Condition of Livestock
Fewer losses from disease and ex
posure of horses, mules, cattle and
swine are reported for this state than
a year ago, but sheep and lamb

BIG DITCH BREAK
MEANS NO WATER
Riverside Canal Washes Away 75
Feet of Bank—Leaves 16,000 Acres
Without Water Until Repaired
(Parma Review)
A hurriedly called meeting of the
directors of the Farmers' Co-opera
tive Ditch company held Monday
morning determined upon the best
means for repairing a break in the
Riverside canal which occurred Sat
urday morning. The break was caus
ed by the water wearing through the
clay bed into the gravel and washing
out the whole side bank. Gravel was
swept all over a nearby grain field.
The break occurred in Sand Hollow.
Will Build With Concrete
The directors decided to blast out
the upper bank which is 20 feet high
to furnish dirt to bank the other side
and put in 500 lineal feet of cement
to hold the water where the break
washed away the bank. Work was
started at once as soon as the direc
tors were informed of the catastrophe
Monday morning. An engineer was
secured within an hour, teams and
workers in excess of the need were
offered and by Monday noon the men
were hard at work.
This canal supplies over 16,000
acres of farm and orchard lands, and
the loss of water, if long continued,
will jeopardize a million dollars worth
of crops. The land furnished by this
'canal lies on the north, northeast and
northtvest sides of Parma. While at
first estimated as three weeks, the
time required for the repairs may pos
sibly be only a week. Fred McCon
nell was secured from Caldwell to
have charge of the engineering work
in connection with the break. Work is
progressing rapidly with men and
teams working in three shifts, twelve
teams on a shift.
About Rheumatism
Rheumatism causes more pain and

the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that there is
remedy that will afford relief, and

called Chamberlain's Liniment.

Out For a Scoop )
It has been suggested as one reason
for President Wilson's sinister
crecy with respect to what has 'been
going on at the peace conference
that he takes it for granted he will be
returned to private life after 1920,
when he will buckle down perma
nently to his favorite weapon, the
typewriter, to write a book on what
happened in Versailles. This book
he will have copyrighted, and the
story of secret covenants secretly ar
rived at will then make its first ap
pearance. Naturally the author wants
a copyrighted scoop on the proceed
ings. Money in it.
TWO GREAT WEDDINGS
DF ALL HISTORY
(By C. W. Cooper)
One of the railroad and one of the
oceans. Looking back to the year of
1807 Robert Fulton conceived the
idea of touching his Clermont with
the magic wand of steam navigation
he glided over the majestic water of
the Hudson river, magnificent river.
Time writes no wrinkles on times'
azure brow sailing as far up the Hud
son as far as Albany, New York. The
success of the steam application of
the Clermont started the thought
waves of the Erie canal wa,ving
through the minds of the people in
1810 this long his opinions was chris
tened into action, but the starting of
the Erie canal was one of the greatest
events, 'and called intcf necessity
great volumes of money. Ita as much
as we never had any money in those
days to speak of, no capitalists to
profit by bonds.
The great state of New York came
to the rescue of the people in their
endeavors to get the canals con
structed. Vouched by the obligation
of labor and materials for their con
struction this work was continued un
ceasingly from 1810 to 1825, requiring
the expenditure of $7,000.000.
At the completion in 1825 Gover
nor Clinton of New York ordered
great celebration of the event.
Through his request President Mad
ison sent a letter to Marquis d'La
fayette, writing him to participate in
the celebration of that year. He ac
cepted the invitation and came over
to witness the magnificent growth of
the country that he had helped to
save from British tyranny, and he so
journed in the country. As we were
poor at the time he displayed his
wonderful ability during the Revo
lutionary war we were then only
partly able to recompense him for his
valuable service, and congress voted
$2,000 in money and a township of
land in Florida.
The magnificent growth of the
country by the construction of the
canal started the thought waves of a
more convenient way of transporta
tion than canal boats. The idea of the
construction of the railroads occupied
the minds of the people, hence the
first railroad construction was com
menced in 1835 from Baltimore,
Maryland, to Washington, D. C., a
distance of 40 odd miles. This has
continued till we have 250,000 miles
of railroads capitalized at $22,000,000,
000, employing about 1,000,000 men.
While its original cost was only $6,
000,000,000 and could be built now for
$4,000,000,000. With recent efficiency
and railroad construction assuring
water valuation of $18,000,000,000, no
wonder the wealth of the country is
absorbed by railroading and federal
reserve banking currency. I merely
want to mention the magnificent
growth of the city of Chicago to
show favorable localities can make
for the growth of the cfity bounded
by Lake Michigan on the east and the
great undeveloped west. Chicago
was started 90 years ago, its popula
tion in 1829 bein- only 30 people, now
embraces the tremendous populartion
3,200,000, being the largest city
of the world of its age.
Continuing the construction of "the
railroad, the first railroad out of Chi
cago was started in 1847, the year I
was born. Crossing the* level prairies
of Illinois the first bridge spanning
the father of the waters was erected
at Davenport, Iowa. When the great
development set in from the output
of gold coming from the development
of the mines of California in the early
fifties and the placer gold of Aus
tralia the great era of prosperity was
the result. This continued till the
gtieat wildcat banking system was
set in motion in 1855, which called the
eluding system of the money from
the natural arteries of commerce and
continued until the breakout of the
Rebellion in 1861, where again a great
emergency and a great demand for
money was required. The Repub
lican party in its days of usefulness
caused the election of President
Abraham Lincoln, who caused the
creating of four billions of green
backs. Secretary Chase of the treas
ury touched ttie treasurer's office with
a magic wand, whereby we subdued
the south, built the Union Central
Pacific railroad without a bond be
ing issued.
President Lincoln made up his
mind to have these roads owned bv
the government, the freight to be
based on the cost of operating and
maintaining, but was overcome by the
great o,ctopus of wealth known as the
credit mobile—Oakes and Oliver
Ames. This laudable ambition was
swayed by the assassination of Pres
ident Lincoln. The road was start

whereby a vigorous ettort was made
to builü through as quick as pos
sible. i his vigorous prosecution of
the railroad construction lasted till
May 10, 1083, when the great railroad
was celebrated at Promontory Point,
about' o0 miles west ot Ogden, when
Governor Iceland ütantord of Cali
fornia celebrated the nuptial by driv
ing tne golden spike. The writer hap
pened to be in Chicago and witnessed
the celebration, the great Chicago

ters of the United States. 1 am

The next wedding event 1 spoke
of in the start was celebrated at San
Francisco 1915, when the two oceans
came together by the construction of
the Panama canal costing four hun
dred million dollars.
Would Shoot British General
In declining to speak on the same
platform with a British general who
had declared during the war that con
ditions at the front had been misrep
resented to the British people, Ad
miral Sims is quoted as saying,
"What we military men can't under
stand is why he wasn't shot when he
wrote that letter affecting the mor
ale of the allied forces and civilians."
We do not recall just what the Brit
ish general said in his letter about
misrepresentation of conditions. If,
however, representations from Brit
ish official sources were as inaccu
rate as from American sources, the
general was probably justified in
what he wrote. In view of Amer
ican experience in that regard, the re
mark of Admiral Sims that "what we
military men can't understand is why
he wasn't shot,"* is likely to intensify
the determination of the American
people not to give military men dom
ination _ over the republic. We
wouldn't' like to have a man sljot for
telling the truth.
