Senator Harvests 80 Cars
of Netted Gems From
70-Aci-e Field
GOODING, Ida., Oct. 28 During
tliu BUinrnor just passed, Senator
l'Yank It. 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. Tho
'cellar is electrically illuminated and

Harvest of tho crop was com
pleted last week under the direc

son, who likewise had charge of
the erect it) n of the collar. After
tho two largo bins had been filled
with tho potatoes, which from tho
space effectively arranged for air
ventilation.
A crow of 30 men wr.s t:sed In

contains approximately 24,001) sacks
of potatoes. r ' . .

tagious abortion. It' no lunger Is
conftntnl to dairy -cattle, but has
gained considerable headway
among beef herds as well. Tho act
of abortion is Its best known symp
tom. Other results are weak calves,
sterility, retained aftorbirths, und
low milk production. TIuj malady
is commonly acquired through the
mouth by consuming feud and
drink coutamlnntod with the germs
and by licking affected unimals,
mangers and other objects to which
tho germs adhere.
More than $4,000,000,000 Is in
vested in farm mechanical equip

labor costs of farm crop produc
tion on an average make up ubout
GO per cent of tho total costs. Kvon

fields, ot tho United States carries
away $200,000,000 worth of plant

removed by the furmora cropa.
This annual loss Is estimated ut ap
proximately 120,000,000,000 pounds
as compared to only 6,1(00.000,000
pounds permanently removed by
crops., In addition millions of tons
of rich top soil are carried out to
