Gooding, who in addition to hiu public duties has found time to supervise the operation of hiu ranch three miles sou tit of here, has demonstrated to the fanners of Gooding' county a method of se curing farm relief that is not con-' llngenf on congressional appropria tions or legislation by harvesting some 80 cars of Netted Gem pota toes from a 70 aero field. In accord with his belief tha't the economic salvation of tho farmer in this section can largely . be brought about by the uso of divers ified crops, turning hay and grain acreages to potatoes, .beans and small -seeds, the senator directed (last spring that one. of tho fertile fields on his property be seeded with Netted Gems. ! After a summer of careful culti vation -and judicious irrigation it (became apparent, during early fall, jthat the production would be large. !Jn order to take care of tho crop juntll it is placed on the market, 'Senator Gooding had constructed what is probably tho largest pri vately owned potato cellar in this Isection. Tho structure is 320 feet long, 3G feet wide, with 12-foot 'bins on either side of a 10-foot (driveway that extends throughout jtho entire length. Woven wire sup ports tho roof, which consists of a five-foot thicknoss of straw, crown ed with four inches of soil.
