the rather severe tremblor of June 21
there have been frequent lighter
shocks, most of them sufficiently per-

country has reported some of these
quakes as being quite severe. Earth

Lewiston - During the last IL
months more than 700 cars of wood
have been shipped from Troy, or al
most IL, 900 cords, which brought the
men who originally owned it nearly
$50, 900.
An average of 40 cords of wood a
month is being shipped from Troy, al
though this is the dull season. The
wood is shipped to Moscow, Pullman.
Genesee, Cotton, Uniontown and Lew
iston.
Farmers are clearing their land and
selling the wood for good prices. They
tell story of a young Swede who
came here from his native country and
purchased stony hillside farm which
was scantily covered with scrubby tim
Der. The Swede paid So, 500 for the
quarter section and the wise ones
laughed at the poor business judgment
OF the yokel who had been feeced by
a smart Westerner. This Swede has
sold more than 100 cords of wood from
this scrubby farm at an average price
Of $500 a cord, and he has less than
half of II in cultivation. 1t is esti-
mated that he will sell almost enough
wood to buy the farm three times at
The original cost.

Moscow-For the first time in the
annals of the Palouse country north OF
Snake river, it is claimed, the old
fashioned striped potato bug has beer
discovered by Professor ]. M. Aldrich
on the Idaho Agricultural college farm
near town.
Professor Aldrich, who has charge
OF biological study at the University
OF Idaho, regards this find as import
ant, and recommends that vigorous ac-
ton be taken this season against the
spreading Of the pest.
The few beetles discovered for the
first time in this vicinity, Mr.. Aldrich
says, have deposited many eggs, and
unless wiped out will spread rapidly,
as has already been demonstrated on
Camas prairie, in Nez Perez county.
Professor Aldrich says the same
spray used for the Goblin moth on fruit
trees will be effective treatment for
the potato bugs. Farmers, he says,
should examine their vines, and where
any of the beetles are discovered they
should be promptly eradicated before
getting start.

raised grain. Timothy hay liz now
quoted at SIT a ton, and on Puget
sound markets 1t commands premium
of 81 ton. Many farmers are discon-
tinuing grain farming and are seeding
their ranches to timothy. The Craig
mountain timber district when defor-
ested will be come one Of the greatest
timothy districts in the world.
The hay retains its color much longer
than that grown in lower attitudes.
Many Of the farms produce two tons
to the acre, and at the present prices
1t will net $40 ton, paying interest
on an investment of 5000 an acre.
