A letter From Idaho Twin Falla, Idaho Jan. 2, 1934 To the Editor: I live two and a half miles north west of Twin Falls, where we have resided for the past eleven years. It is my beleif that we can raise as good crops here as they can any where. This state has irrigated land and therefore it raises many potatoes, sugar-beets beans, corn, wheat, hay clover seed and etc. It is also noted for its livestock. 1 Of course the depression is here as well as elsewhere and therefore 1 the prices of products are low. | ! We are having wonderful weather ' for January. We have not had but < about two inches of snow this winter and a little rain f We have a large high school and Business College besides four grade schools. There are buses to take the children to school. There are other Colleges in Idaho with honorable mention. We have well improved roads which aid in transportation. I have read in the paper where great improvements have been made back there sine* I left, and which I hope will keep on. It has been Twenty three years since I left Carolina. I have made two trips back and I hope I may make some more. I am sure that if any of you came to Idaho you would not be dissappoint ed. If any of you should happen to make a trip out here I would enjoy very much to have you come to visit me. I will close by thanking the Editor for giving me the priviledge of wri ting this letter.

This menu includes desirable fruits with its apples and lemon, and the grilled sweetbreads will prove a welcome variation to his usual breakfast. Cider Applet Grilled Sweetbreads with Butter Toasted Rolls Coffee And here’s the way to make Cider Apples: Core six baking apples, and pare them halt way down. Set them in a baking dish. Cut the apricots from an 8-ounce can in small pieces, and stuff In holes. Spread three-fourths cup brown sugar over tops of apples, and put half a tablespoon butter on top of each.

WISE TEXAS HEN Holland, Tex., Dec. 24.—A hen that wearied of barnyard fare has added ( a distinctly new service to the gar age-filling station operated here by Virgil Huddleston. Tourists driving in for gas and oil usually carry a delicious supply of bugs and grasshoppers on the radia tors of their automobiles. The boa hops onto the bumper and pecks out the insects, dropping them to the ground. She then inspects the ma chine from stem to stern for other dainty bits. When the car drives away, the hen enjoys a real meal. She roosts atop the town hearse, and nests beneath a blacksmith’s anvil. See Castevens Motor Oo., for radio batteries, tubes, and service.—ady.
