The paper says: “ Now, as if by magic, this fertile soil has produced a crop that has made many o f our farmers rich over night. The story reads like a fable. It seems impossible and unbelievable that hundreds o f our potato raisers have cleared from $20,000 to $100,- 000 on the crop that they have planted and matured within the last four months. Many are tenants. Fifty thousand acres o f this upper valley was planted to potatoes. Many o f the best fields produced 300 sacks of No. 1 potatoes to the acre, each sack yeighing 120 pounds. The grow er can sell his potatoes fo r $3 per hundred on the farm, or a total of $900 per acre for his crop. It costs less than 50 cents per hundred to raise the crop and deliver it to mar ket. This leaves the grower o f the maximum yield a net prolU, on each acre o f $750, or 7 1-2 per cent net on a valuation o f $10,000 per acre for his land. It sounds like fiction, like the story o f a mining camp, but cold figures do not lie. There is nothing unusual about our yield this year. Idaho is a sure crop country. For 50 years we have produced a bumper crop. In all that time we have not had one single year o f failure.” i i O u DO IT NOW Hava you applied fo r certificate of title to your motor vehicle.

Instead o f sending our money away to people we never saw and never expect to see, or with smooth downtown ad vertisers, let’s spend it where we know who gets it.
