Idaho Homesteads and Apple Prospects in Idaho News

Bean growers face prohibitive freight, forcing exit from the trade as rate disparities favor California. San Jose scale battles in Juliaetta area prompt persistent orchard spraying despite pest, while a divorce suit in Lewiston follows claims of attempted surgery and chloroform by wife.
