Nampa, May 5.—Nowhere Is it more
highly evidenced that farming i *» a
science and that demonstrations con
stitute the life-giving fluid of the pro
constuntly
under
grass necessary
changing agricultural, industrial and
commercial conditions than at the state
farm in proximity to this city which
was purchased by the state some years
ago as the location for a home for its
feeble minded. Thoughtful observation
emphasizes the fact that this farm is
under the superintendency of a man
«'ho with th; fullest measure of en
thusiasm is teaching out-ide of books
and independent of them the vital es
sentials of agriculture. Not only is
Alexander Wilson, the superintendent,
to whom reference is made, illustrating
in a practical way that the soil must be
studied in a rational w'ay before an ef
fective system of Improvement can be
made t._id that better farming means
more education, but the more educa
tion means the application of more
scientific methods with better profits
without increased cost of production.
Indeed, this farm which means so much
to Nampa as well as to the entire state,
and which may well be termed "Idaho's
demonstration farm'' is doing as much
if not more than any other agricultural
factor for the advancement of that in
dustry along modern and progressive
lines in this state at the present time.
Through practice, instead of theory,
it is teaching the farmers of this sec
tion of the state that the fertility of
the Boil is the u.rmer's capital, that it
should not he allowed to decrease in its
fertility, and as to the best methods of
preventing this. It is amplifying and
making plain the wisdom of diversifi
cation, evidencing that more signifi
cance should be attached to the in
creased yield per acre than to the In
creased acreage of the crop. In brief, it
is bringing home to the farmers in a
forceful and coi incing manner that if
the farmers expect their farms to feed
them they must feed the r farms.
Agricultural Rejuvenation.
From such object lessons in the field
of agriculture in this state is coming a
general agricultural rejuvenation.
Where there were once deserts of sage
brush, parching winds and discouraged
farmers confronted by ruin there are
now modern farm home-, fertile fields
and prosperous and happy farmers.
However, the beneficial propaganda for
a change in farming along scientific
lines by Mr. Wilson and men of his
type in a. land which for too long seem
ed to resist them has been highly pro
ductive of results, and each day is
gaining momentum of such proportions
as to Justify the belief that at no dis
tant day, Idaho will be on an equal
plane of comparison as regards the
practice of scientific agriculture with
any of her sister states. Two of the dif
ficult problems which confronted Mr.
Wilson in first experiments, and the
solutions of which are demonstrated by
him through demonstration crops, were
those of improving the soil and retain
ing the moisture. The first was ac
complished by placing a coating of
slacked lime over the heavy clay soil
and the second by scattering straw
over the land. This coating was placed
on the land In the proportion of two
tons to the acre, and comparison of
two strips of land in the same field and
adjacent to each other, both in barley,
upon one of which this process w
followed, and the other was not pur
sued abundantly evidences of the lime,
as the land upon which the coating of
lime was placed has an unexcelled crop
while the other strip is almost barren.
The lime coating is two fold In its ef
fectiveness. It both improves the soil
and serves for the retention of mois
ture which is the greatest difficulty
confronting the average farmer. The
placing of straw upon the lands oper
ates for the retaining of the moisture
also.
All Waste Matter Used.
All refuse waste matter from the
barns is utilized for the upbuilding of
the land and every possible phase of
soil enriching is thoroughly practiced.
Following this work, a perfect seed bed
of the land was accomplished by level
ing the land with a fresno, then plow
ing it to a depth of eight inches, then
disking it thoroughly twice, then har
rowing it, then leveling It each way
again, after which the seed was drilled
into the ground. Not only does the lime
enrich the soil, but it prevents the land
from baking and retains the moisture,
so greatly needed later. Th i Increase in
the yield of the land after this treat
ment l.as been phenomenal, and the
lessons gleaned from this method of
cultivation has not been without their
effect upon the tributary country, for
It has focused the attention of farmers
upon the demonstrations made. In
harmony with Mr. Wilson's Idea of the
diversification of crops being essential
to success in farming, his crop a are
diversified. Of the 80-acre farm there
is 23 acres in alfalfa, 20 acres in bar
ley, six acres In pasture, six acres In
clover, two acres in berries of different
varieties, four and a half acres In peas
and six and a half acre» in wheat. Ten
acres of the farm is In a general orch
ard.
Building Not Yet Completed.
The building Is an imposing two story
structure of 2 4 rooms, built of Boise
stone and constructed at a cost of $42,
000 which sum also included the pur
chase price of the 'and. The building
has not yet been completed, but it is
estimated that an additional appropria
tion of $13,f00 will complete it. The
rooms completed are for nurses and
attendants. The building and the entire
farm which is two miles north of this
city "is a source of pride to its citizens,
(and concentrated efforts upon their
part to accomplish. ita early comple
t| on j 8 t0 j, e expected. Moreover, what
has been accomplished upon the farm
* n a demonstration way has made very
logical and effective argument possible
for them, and it Is not improbable that
this phase of work will develop as one
of the specified functions of the farm
in the future.
The present crops upon th" farm are
fine. There was a yield last year of five
tons of alfalfa to the acre. Th * revenue
of last year was $2100 and the mainten
ance expense $2000. It ie anticipated
that the net profit this year will be
much greater because of the improved
condition of the land. There are 60 head
of thoroughbred Berkshire hogs on the
farm, claimed to equal any of that class
in the entire west. Pigs are sold at $5
each from the farm. There are four
cow's and heifers and the number of
horses adequate to the work on the
place. The farm is under. f e control
of a board of directors consisting of
Thomas Buckner of Caldwell, J. J.
Jones of Meridian and Mrs. K. 1. Perky
of Boise.

RAISING PROFITABLE
Meridian, May 6.—Not only Is the

sold nine .ancy r vrr.c at top prices, five
of these rams were shipped to Mont
ana. on" of them bringing $50, four
were shipped to Nampa, two to L B.
Powell and two to D. C. Mullen. From
one 300 pound ram there was sheared
this spring 17 pounds of wool.
