WINTER BARLEY
IN IDAHO
State Agricultural Professor
Explains Benefits to be De-
rived from Sowing Barley in
the Fall.

The value of winter wheat to
the dry farmer has been demon
strated to certainty in Idaho.
1t is superior to spring sown
grain of all kinds. since it fits
into the farmers plan of summer
culture, and its period of growth
comes during those months when
rainfall is generally most likely
to occur.
Winter barley. in Idaho, has
passed the experimental stage
and has been so successfully
grown in so many localities in
southern Idaho above the ditch
this past season that there can
be but little difficulty in getting
seed.
The writer finds that the price
for good winter barley runs from
25 to 35 cents per hundred above
wheat and it will usually yield
more bushels per acre than wheat.
By using good seed of a type
sought for mailing purposes,
seeded on well prepared sum-
mer titled seed-bed, DIR. Whit
taker of Indian Valley, was able
this season to harvest 68t BUSH
els per acre, average, over a field
of 40 acres. He has just sold
this crop for $1.40 per hundred
on market that is paying but
$1.05 per hundred for Turkey
Red wheat.
Good winter barley seeded on
a well prepared summer titled
seed-bed will yield better returns
than any other grain crop and
the writer urges Idaho dry farm
ers to seed more acres than ever
this fall. It is one of the best
grains that can be fed to hogs,
is desired in larger quantities by
the malster, and where acclimat-
ed seed is used, is as drouth re-
sistant as any grain crop our
farmers can grow.
Therefore, grow winter barley.
feed it to hogs, driving them, in
stead of hauling the grain to
market.
Your State Experiment Station
has proven Idaho barley produces
cheaper and better pork than is
produced in the corn belt with
corn. Train loads of porkers
from more eastern states cross
Idaho to supply Pacific states, as
well as our own demands. We
can grow better pork than is be-
ing shipped in. Shall we do it?

cultural Extension, University
Experiment Station.

SOIL PRODUCES

lewiston Man Exhibits Nor
Than 200 Products From
1O-Acre Tract of Irrigated
Land.
The bonanza rancher wht
would feel crowded on a 16O-acre
farm, and the average farmer
who would expect to starve or
anything less than that have oc
casion for incredulous surprise
when they view the individual
display by j. E. Butler in the
Nez Perce county department OF
the Lewiston Charleston fair this
week.
In this exhibit IS an example
Of the possibilities of intensive
farming and it demonstrates also
the practical productive value of
land in Lewiston Orchards, a
suburb of this city. Mr.. Butler
il one of the orchardists who
have for several years been de-
veloping the orchards, but have
meanwhile gained a livelihood by
utilizing the space between young
trees for garden purposes.
At the Latah county fair, re-
Gently held at Moscow, an indi-
vidual display of 70 classes and
,l35 kinds of products was made
by farmer of that vicinity, J.
H. Moore, and it properly elicit
ed much favorable comment, as
being one of the most remarkable
exhibits of the kind ever shown
anywhere.
The exhibit by Mr.. Butler at
the lewiston Charleston fair is
even more astonishing for it COM
prses more than 200 distinct
entries. Following is a list of
2l4 of the exhibits noted, but it
probably does not include the
full number:
Nineteen kinds of corn, includ-
ing field, sweet and popcorn; 5
Of wheat, 8 of barley, 2 of oats,
of potatoes, 6 of onions, 9 of
melons, 9 of squash, 6 of pump
klns, 3 of carrots, 3 of celery, 3
Of lettuce, 4 of beans, a of toma-
toes, 4 of turnips, 2 of beets, 8

egg plant, spinach, parsley, okra,
cabbage, asparagus, endive, Gu
cumber, parsnips, peas, chest
nuts, alfalfa, timothy and one of

....;
Those who have seen compet-
tive displays at Spokane and at
other fairs in the northwest de-
clare that Mr.. Buffers display
sxcels anything of the kind yet
known.
The opinion has been expressed
by some persons who have seen
me display that about all the
products of the place must have
been reserved for the exhibit at
'he fair. Such persons will be
surprised to learn that already
his season Mr.. Butler has mark
tied from his place probably
1900 worth of fruit and vege-
ables, and has much more yet
% dispose of. Last year his
'ales amounted to 81, 600. !

RUSSIAN ANARCHY
 ID BE SUPPRESSED
Qualifications Are Planned. Surgeon Tries To Kill
 Patient

St. Petersburg, September 30.--(Speeial) That the assassination of NJ. Stolypin will result in stern oppressive measures on the part of the government with a consequent revival of anarchy and ter rorism is foregone conclusion. Alreary news has reached here to the effect that the Russian revolutionary groups in France and Switzerland have decided to increase their activities and to act in con- sent whenever possible
 Many expatiated Russians of revolu- tionary sympathies are returning to the country and all the efforts of the police have been unavailing to stop them.
 The return of the political eonvicts from Siberia this year is so considerable that it is expected that quite half the number of exiles sent there after the revolutionary outbreak of 1905 will have come back home by the end of the pres. ent navigation season. According to a statement in the Duma, the rural school teachers alone who were exiled to Si- beria at that period numbered over 20000. The great majority of the village hooli- gans who were condemned for burning down farm and homesteads are also new leaving. prison at the expiration of their sentences. There had been already a re- crudescence of political murders, rob berries, and labor strikes before the kill ing of M. Stolypin. For example. recent assassinations of this kind have included those of a prison inspector, M. Efimoff; the public prosecutor, M. Skopinsky; a son of Captain Kurosh of the imperial navy, and several prison warders and policemen. These and other similar signs are believed to indicate the return Of troublous times, and the Russian gov ernment, unfortunately, is determined to put the screw on again and to revert to that severity of suppression which it only lately began to alleviate by abolish Ing the more extraordinary of the extra judicial measures temporarily established for dealing with the outrages of 1905 and the two following years

ILLICIT LIQUOR . TRADE INCREASES

Johannesburg, September 30-(Specialo ,--In spite of drastic legislation the illicit selling of liquor to natives is on the in- crease, particularly on the Rand and in other mining areas. To those interested in the welfare of the native races the traffic is causing much anxiety. If sound liquor was supplied it would be bad enough, but the fact that vile com pound of which dope" brandy is the principal constituent, is sold, makes the illicit trading ten times worse. It is us- ually faked with Cape sherry and often fortified with reetiied or even methylat- ed spirit. It is also often favored with bluestone. tobacco and other deleterious substances.
 The effect of drinking such liquor is disastrous morally and physically and is responsible for much of the crime on the Rand and elsewhere.
 The profits are so enormous that the traffic is never likely to be suppressed unde, present conditions.

DIX SENDS A
 SPECIAL MESSAGE

New York, September Ex-Governor Blk sent special message to the legislature yesterday recommending the repeal of the Frawley law, under which boxing bouts are legal.
 The message was sent to the judiciary committee of the senate. Although the legislative leaders have decided not to take action at this session looking to the repeal of the law, it is pointed out that Governor Dix can demand of the athletic commission the revocation of all fight club licenses or the resignations of the commissioners. It is claimed that either action would put an end to boxing.
 Governor Dix, in case the legislature falls to act, will discuss with the ath- letic commissioners the steps to be taken
