Tests With BarIev-

AT the Montana experiment station
the average results Of two years test
with twenty-three varieties of barley
showed that Guy Maybe, a dark ker.
neied hulless variety, gave the largest
yield. New Zealand, a two rowed high
grade brewing barley, stood second.
Inc hulless varieties produced the lar.
gest quantity of feed. The two rowed
varieties gave much larger yields than
the six rowed varieties, and in the six
rowed sorts large yields of grain were
associated with large yields of straw
Inc average results show a yield of
l.2o pounds of straw for each pound of
grain In the two rowed varieties. 1.31
pounds OF straw to each pound of
grain In the six rowed varieties and
one pound Of straw to each pound Of
grain In the hulless barley. Early ma.
turing varieties gave in general light
yields.

Popular Lady Contest.

The popular lady contest for a pi
ano and two gold watches was de-
cided Tuesday night, at the Fair Store
in the presence of 100 people who had
gathered to learn who the fortunate
| winner was. The scheme was worked
by man and his wife who arranged
with some of our merchants who
agreed to give a 10 per cent discount
on all bills over $1.00. AS many la
dies as possible were induced to sell
ten cent coupons which were good
for that amount when purchases were
made at any one of the firms who had
entered into the agreement, and the
lady selling the greatest number of
coupons was to receive a piano and
the second highest gold watch and
the third gold watch. A gentleman's
watch was given to the man whose
name appeared on the first ticket
drawn from a box which in this in
stance proved to be Deacon" Stur-
geon.
tiC ihtCIfdl UtlOT6 Draw
ing, Mr.. Aven, proprietor of the Fair
Store, had made provision for a short
musical program, which entertained
the audience until the counting be-
gan. The following is the result:
Miss Vivian Robertson, ..24,7OO votes
Miss Iva Brown 24,34O votes
Miss Mary Smith $4,000 votes
Miss Laura Adams $500. 1880 votes
Mrs. Cook 10000 votes
Miss Robertson gets the piano and
Miss Brown gets a gold hunting case
watch and Miss Smith an open face
gold watch and the promoters get
ten cants for each ticket sold and the
merchants, well, you can figure what
they got The articles were all as
represented and everybody appeared
satisfied SO far as the fairness of the
proposition was concerned.

BIN FOR sHELLED CORN.

others, R. H. Mitchell sends to Coun-
try Gentleman the accompanying Illus
tration of an arrangement to meet this
need, submitting 1t for what it may be
worth.
AS may be seen, 1t is bin with a
slanting floor, having cracks perhaps
an eighth of an inch In width, divided
into compartments by hollow parti-
lions. A trough, A, makes 1t conven-
lent to shovel up the corn. The parti-
ton B, the end G and the sides D and
u should also be Stats an eighth of an
inch apart. The divisions B could be
made Of two inch Turing strips nailed
on both sides Of the same for battens.
The width Of each compartment
would have to be determined by ex-
pertinent, but probably eight inches
would be about right. or course the
depth and height would be a matter of
convenience.

The State of Idaho and it's people
during the last year have enjoyed a
season of continued growth and pros
perity, and today the state is prob
ably more largely in the eye of the
business and investing world, and is
developing more rapidly than any
other of the surrounding states. Our
material well being is assuredly cause
for Thanksgiving.
Fortunately, our blessings are not
measured alone by notable material
prosperity. AS people, we have been
protected during the past year from
pestilence and disaster. Good health
has been ourportion and peace reigns
has been our portion, and peace reigns
been favored so abundantly by the
Almighty that our hearts should go
out to him in thanksgiving and praise.
Therefore, | now declare Thursday,
November 26, 1908, day of general
Thanksgiving, and request that on that
day, so far as possible, business shall
cease. and the people shall assemble
at their various places of worship,
and there give thanks to God for his
manifold blessings during the past
year.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

The Republican state platform does
not pledge the Republican party tC
enact a direct primary law. The di-
rect primary law in the states of Ore
gon and Washington have worked to
the disadvantage of the people OF
those states. 1t has made 1t possible
for politicians and wealthy men to
absolutely control the states. The
poor man, no matter how capable, has
absolutely no chance of political ad-
vancement under the direct primary
system. Instead of taking matters out
of the hands of the politicians, 1t
places them more securely in their
hands. To secure a nomination and
election to office it will be necessary
for the candidate to make two cam
paigns. This will give the man in
trenched in office an immense advan-
tage over any opponents. On account
of having served the people he is we'll
known. AS an officer he has the pow
er to grant sertain people favors of
one kind or another. This naturally
works to the advantage of the man al
ready in office. On the other hand the
man aspiring is nine times out of ten
little known outside of his own par
ticular section. Consequently he will
have to advertise in newspapers, by
circular letters or in person by visit
ing all sections. This is an expensive
operation. Take for instance the can
didate for the nomination for secre-
tary of state, His salary is 100000.
How much would he have to spend to
visit all the counties in the state to
advertise his personality and political
views in all the papers of his political
persuasion. After securing the nomi-
nation he would still have to go out
and make a campaign, as we'll as pay
campaign assessments. How much
would there be left of the 100000 sal
airy after doing this. We dare say
that no unknown man, no matter how
capable, could be elected secretary of
state under the direct primary law,
without an expense of at least $4,000
to some one. If the man was poor, he
must graft to play even. And that is
what they will do or else we will have
nothing but rich Office holders. We
think the people want neither condi-
ton.

TUBER SHOWING SKIN RUPTUREs

general it indicates degree Of matu-
rity or development which promises
good cooking quality. On the other
hand, the potatoes Of smooth and clear
skin are oftentimes excessively wa
terry or immature.
The presence Of lenticels--that is,
bodies of cells which during growth
enlarge and rupture the SKINS not OBJ
jectionable, for they usually indicate
normal growth and development In
healthy environment.
In an investigation of the quality of
potatoes carried on by ]. w. Gilmore
at the New York Cornell experiment
station parts considered in the physical
examination were the surface or skin,
the cortical layer or portion immedi-
ately under the skin and varying from
L to 3 inch in thickness, the external
medullary area-that is, the main
starchy part of the tuber-and the in
ternal medullary area or central por-
ton Of the potato, which often branches
into the external medullary area and IL
more or less translucent ON account Of
its high moisture content.
AS regards the skin, 1t was noted that
uneven tubers with deep eyes were I'M
desirable for market, while netted
skin indicated maturity and, as a gen.
eral rule, good quality. A smooth skin
indicated immaturity, and hence poor
keeping quality and tendency toward
undesirable flavor. Scabby potatoes
were often mealy and of good color,
but undesirable from the market stand
point Tubers which had grown in
part exposed to the air were heavy and
soggy when cooked and of poor color
and undesirable flavor.
In general 1t was found that when
the cortical layer is thick and dense
the tubers are Of poor quality, and this
condition Is an indication that they
grew near the surface, where the tenn
perature and moisture conditions were
more variable than deeper in the soil.
A uniform external medullary area in
dicates an even distribution of starch
cells and of starch grains within the
cell. When this layer is not uniform
1t Is an indication that the starch cells
are unevenly distributed and inter
spersed with watery areas. A large

listers from a dozen of the largest
churches of Chicago today invaded the
stockyards at noon hour and conduct
ed evangelistc services. In the steam
ing, oderous atmosphere, with blood
all about them, they addressed the
giant butchers and sang gospel hymns,
which mingled with the squeals and
believing of animals being slaugh-
tered
Rising above the earnest prayers of
the missionaries was the "mooing" of
panic-stricken cattle and the thud of
cleavers as the butchers speedily re-
duced warm carcasses to meat of COM
merce. Burly giants, their clothes wet
with blood and grease, squatted about
the floor, while the evangelists, stand
ing on upturned wooden buckets and
tubs, conducted the services.
Dainty girls, employed in the label
ing and other departments, joined in
the song service. The car shops,
beef-killing decks, soap factories, hog
houses and glue works were all CON

listers were so much encouraged by the
respectful attention given them that
they propose to continue the services
at least once a week.

there was any unusual ceremonies in

the Chamber Of Commerce of that city
and is here for the purpose of meet
ing with the wool growers at their
session at Boise. Mr.. Holt and SON
were the only other guests present.
Those who are acquainted with Mr..
Cowden can readily imagine the sur
prised look which appeared on his
countenance when he came home for
dinner and found the guests present.

FOR SPEAKER.

The Nampa Leader-Herald has pro-
posed Hon. James M. Thompson as a
capable man for speaker of the next
house OF representatives. The Nampa
paper pays Mr.. Thompson glowing
tribute; calling especially attention
to his honesty, ability and good judg-
ment. The Tribune thinks with the
Leader-Herald that Mr.. Thompson
would make fine speaker of the
house. He would be absolutely fair In
his rulings; he would be judicious in
the appointment of committees: be
msistent upon members of the lsgis-
lature doing their duty in enacting
wise and beneficial legislation. He is
well equipped for the responsible po-
sition, in every particular. We trust
that Mr.. Thompson will be elected.
The Leoder-Herald says:
There is discussion already as to
who shall be speaker of the lower
house of the next session of the Idaho
legislature. Without his knowledge
or consent, the Leader-Herald sug-
sests the name of ]. NJ. Thompson,
OF this county. There are various
reasons why this seems appropriate.
The strongest reason Is that Mr.
Thompson is eminently equipped for
the responsible position. He is a
lawyer of attainments and has a thor
ough knowledge of parliamentary
usages. He is not man who would
be swayed in his rulings by personal
likes and dislikes. Every question
would be decided upon it's merits and
according to what was right In the
matter.
Moreover, Canyon county is entitled
to recognition at the hands of the Re-
publican party. 1t sends a solid Re-
pnoilcan delegation to the legislature.
II has not now and has not for some
years had any representation among
the state officers. A strong and united
pull by the Republicans of CANYON
county should land this honor for Mr.
Thompson.
