HALF GRAIN CROP
IS NOT THRESHED
Frequent Rains Through the
Southern Part Of State
Responsible.

One half Of the grain crops Of many
of the irrigation tracts Of the state are
not yet threshed. The rains that have
been frequent the last few weeks
through all of the southern part of
Idaho have materially delayed the
threshing of the crop and have made
the season three weeks to month
later than 1t would have otherwise
been.
The rains have also held up the state
and government Investigators in their
search for agricultural data about the
crop conditions Of the last year. The
fact that the threshers are unable to
work except spasmodically has pre-
vented the investigators from gather
ing the information as to the grain
yield per acre. Don H. Bark, engineer
In charge Of the irrigation investiga-
lions of the government In this state.
has been delayed by the rains through
all of the tracts and his work and re-
ports on the crop conditions are not
yet completed.
Though the rains have been heavy in
many places and though the threshers
have been delayed for several weeks.
none Of the grain crops have been
! spoiled by the water and no damage
has been done.
The grain is in good condition and
the yields have been tremendous. Just
how many bushels Of wheat or other
crops have been secured from any
given acreage under given water sup
plies cannot be determined until after
| the threshing season and the farmers
and experimentors can learn exactly
what was threshed out. Some of the
force here will soon be scattered along
the irrigation tracts OF the state to
gather this data within the next few
days. Reports are coming in from the
experiment stations but they. too. have
been delayed to a certain extent on &C.
count of the general rains.
Until the statements are all in. the
engineer in charge here Is unable TO
make complete report to the govern
ment on the work that has been done
under his supervision during the past
year.

Read What These People Have To Say!
The z. G. Charters Co.,
Ekalaka, Montana.

We have been handed a copy of The Ekalaka Eagle
are very much interested in this. We have an immense
trade in Montana and especially in Montana. We would
be very much pleased to assist you in any way we can in
this contest. Possibly some of the varieties of corn that
we offer would interest your contestants. We have sold
large quantities of MINI. No. IS and North Dakota White
Dent and the early varieties of that class in your state have
given satisfaction always and have won the best premiums
at your state fairs. We would be pleased to put up pack
ages of these varieties and others; Uncle Sam No. 4, Our
August 18th and the first two varieties named by US at a
price that would about pay for the packing and about a
fair market price for the corn. We are carrying on a great
many contests in this state, county contest lead by the
Superintendent of Schools and they have been very sue
cessful. We shall be pleased to hear from you.

be 100 per cent. When Cths duty re-
naming 1xed) the price of stockings
fell to 80 cents pair the duty would
be 200 per cent. II the stockings
SHOULD fall to 10 cents a pair the fixed
duty would be 1000 per cent
The important question, Of course,
is not what is the percentage of duty
upon stockings, but what do you h,yo
to pay for pair? You can buy to-
day in the great shops two pairs Of
good half hose for 25 cents, and there
is no peril in the assertion that never
since the world was made could you
get, tariff or no tariff, 80 good hosiery
for so little money.
The reasons are, first, that the home
supply because the industry had tariff
protection, is abundant and excellent,
and, second, that the Americans, sole
ly because that industry land there
fore the incentive) was here have in
vented the most wonderful and pro-
ductive knitting machinery.

The Government and the Farmer.


Thoughtless people sometimes say
why should the government give aid
and comfort, through the instrumen-
tality Of tariff law, to a single class
OF citiEens-the manufacturers?
The aid Ia to be given. of course,
where 1t Is needed. Builders, lawyers,
retailers and so forth are sufficiently
protected by nature. The manufactur-
er gets help where 1t is required. The
farmer. also, let us note, gets it far
more abundantly where he requires 1t.
Do you ever reflect upon what our
government has done and now does,
for the American farmer?
Millions Of farms were given, years
ago in the west, to the farmers abso-
lutely without charge. The govern
ment never gave a mill to a manufact-
urer. Other millions of farms have
been sold by the government, and now
are selling, at the lowest of low prices.
The nation maintains an agricultural
department (the manufacturers have
no Department., which costs from ten
millions to twelve million a year. This
quantities Of seeds, but 1t instructs
the farmers, analyses their soils, i'm
proves their animals, destroys at great
cost the cotton boil worm and injurious
insects and helps them to stamp out
diseases In plants and animals.
Hundreds Of millions are spent in
construction Of irrigation works SO
that poor land may be redeemed for
the farmers, and in divers and sundry
other ways the American farmer is
assisted, encouraged, upheld and made
the object Of incessant large expendi
lures.
No man may complain Of this. It is
well done, That Is what a government
is for. to do for the people the things
that they cannot do for themselves
We are the government. The money is
ours. All these toilers are our breth
rem. All are Americans. Their welfare
is our welfare The soil feeds every
man Of US. The huge expenditure for
the splendid development of agricul-
ture is an investment of a common
fund for the benefit of all.
But II this be true for the farmer,
why Is 1t not true for the manufact-
urer? The farmer, rightly, gets enor-
nous sums OF money as a gratuity
from the treasury and he Is the con-
stant object of solicitous-almost ma
ternal- attention.
What does the manufacturer get?
Absolutely nothing but shelter for his
business from a powerful foreign
rival, whose highest felicity would be
the humiliation Of his American com
petitor
