Show IP 'mil IDAHO REVEMJS PHflSPERITY Farmers Harvesting Great Crops and Are Getting Good Returns. ' That northern Utafi and southern Idaho fanners are enjoying a remarkable remark-able prosperity this year is the decision of D. C. Kimball, Claude Richards and J. A. Oapouer, all from the firm of Kim-hall Kim-hall & .Richards, laud merchants, who have just returned from a' two weeks' automobile trip through rhe groat funning funn-ing sections of those st;ites. The party went to Po'-atcllo an I then up throu:'.n the Snake Kivev vpliey to Ash ton. Coming Com-ing back to ficxinn they saw the ;rtj.:i wheat sectioi's there and then weni west to Kamas and on to American Falls. Prom hrre the party went to Twin Fajls. J.-ul.i and Pnriey and finally returned through Cache valley and hear Ki vcr valley. During this entire trip they vcitnes.-ed greater .prosperity 'than has ever before been experienced among western farm- j ers. Lands vhhh 1 'irmerlNnld for ! to $l"il per acre are now beiuu- turne I j at .floO to and inleiest it.u-s m ; the more successful ftinntr:- have veiy : materially dropj ed. beiiii.' only from G ; to 7 per cent in place of the farmer. ! i S. 9 and even in per eout. One NVL'inf- j icant fact is th;it in mijr oL" thv- bet- j ter sections, as in ficar Uiver and (, nrhe I vnllevs, the nu-oe.-stul fanners are bny-iii" bny-iii" on t their nei'n ho: s when-vcr tm-v : are able to do so'. This sln.ws their fnith in their ir.vn districts nnd sponks more than any amount of praise fur the true value of tie so pivsp-'i mis vuHey?. Another interest in-,: fart is that only the more sueces.-tul city ih:m is iuo !i.l; to the farm and the weaker fanners are the only ones who are moving to the city, thus leaving a ren arka'nly hiudi clas type of i o 1 e i 1 1 the farming communities. com-munities.

The demand for farms has be- 1 conic so great that the men in charge . of farm selling at Kimball & Eichanls ' are constantly on the go, showing1 farms to new buyers. I |
