RED SOX LOOK LIKE WINNERS

1t looks like the Boston Red Sox
now. The Mackmen threw away a
great chance last week when the
White Sox team of Chicago beat them
in the ninth inning.
The slump on the part of the Bos-
tons that the baseball world has
been looking for has not as yet mat
erialized. Let's hope it won't take
place when the worlds series is on.
An American league enthusiast says:
"The Boston club has been going at
top speed all season. 1t looks as if
they are due for slump. If they are
to have it, why not have it before
they meet the champions of the Nat
ional league? You know there is
in the National league that
even compares with the first three
clubs of the American and it would
be shame to see them lose the
worlds series. 1T wouldn't be a |
fair test of the strength of the clubs.

FANS SORE AT PITTSBURG

With the Cubs making such won
derful showing against New York
and the Chance crew being given a
boost pennantward, Pittsburg fans
are still feeling of a sore spot. ca,ls-
ed by the evacuation of Tommy Lea
oh and Lefty Liefield. Leach has
been one of the greatest factors in
bringing Chance to the top of the
heap. while Liefield has been pitch
ing winning ball since leaving the
Pirate staff. VA
It may be that the switch was one
of the greatest things the Pittsburg
ball club could have done, looking
from the viewpoint of Leach and
Liefield, as it may result in sticking
them in with team that will split
the world series coin. Leach and Lei
field are deserving of the extra bit
of coin and honor, but the Pirate
fans have different viewpoint.
With the Philadelphia club here
the old talk Of the trade whereby
Chicago took Leach and Leifield in
for Cole and Holman, has
been revived, for it was the Philadel-
phia club that first figured in the al
eged sensational trade.
Some weeks ago papers published
What purported to be the real cause
If the trade. In the story it was
stated that Barney Drefuss had pro-
missed Honus Wagner, the leader
hip of the team next season, and lat
II promised Leach, and it was a toss
Up which would go. as both could
ot be named as leader, and it was
ecided to cut the off head of
each.

class have responded to the call of
the head football coach as candidates
for the 1912 team. Those showing
special ability in the early practice
will be placed with the varsity squad,
and the fourth class eleven will be
formed from the remainder. Among
the most promising of the new men is
Emerson, who played tackle at Dart
mouth last season. Regular practice

GROWING THE BETTER VARITIEs
OF MILLING WHEAT

At this season of the year reports
are frequent of exceedingly heavy, If
not phenomenal, yields of wheat on
the well-tilled farms of the Inland
Empire. AS rule these reports are
authentic and are justly given the
greatest publicity by daily and weekly
press. In yield per acre Inland EN-
pire farmers are conceded by other
wheat growing sections of the coun-
try to stand in class by themselves.
From the miller's viewpoint, it is
unfortunate that the characteristic
cally heavy yielding varieties Of
wheat are among the poorest milling
ones; for SO long as a satisfactory
yield is obtained, the average grow
er is apparently in different to the
quality of his crop measured by mill
ing standards. In Bulletin No. u of
the Idaho Station it is shown that
among the large numbers of varie-
ties now grown in the Inland EN-
pire there several which are incap-
able of producing flour that can with
safety be depended upon to meet the
minimum requirement for crude pro-
TEN specified by the United States
standard for flour. The extensive
growing of these varieties unques-
tionably appreciably lowers the mark
ct value of the Inland Empire crop
as whole. There are other varie-
ties, at present not so extensively
grown as they might be, which can
with safety be relied upon to produce
-four decidedly richer in crude pro-
tein than the minimum requirement
Of the United States standard. Just
as soon as the growers will substit-
ute generally for the inferior milling
will -four ground from In
and Empire wheat gain access to
he more critical markets with re-
'ultant gain to both grower and mil
err.
The chemistry department of the
IDAHO Experiment Station is equip
BED with complete milling plant |
Ind with other necessary apparatus
or testing out fully the relative mill
ng values of different varieties of
wheat. If any grower is in doubt
the milling value of the
variety of wheat he is grow
ng that value will be obtained for
lin free of charge upon request.

who a moment later ran into a

second baseman. But notice the runs

Pocatello could not do nothing with
Thorestenberg's pitching, and not a
man reached second base, until the
9Th inning.
In the second inning every man
batted around once, Spani, leading

after that was shame, but anyway

SUMMER PRUNING FOR FRUIT
TREES,

The following inquiry is the styl,
of letter that this department ha
been receiving during the past few
weeks:
| please inform me, at your earlies
convenience, your method of summer
pruning as applied to five-year ole
apple trees?"
This department has been carry
ing on summer VS.. winter prun-
ing experiment for number of years
and the records show that where sum
mer pruning was resorted to mater
ial increase in the yield per tree was
secured. The time Of pruning during
the summer, and the amount of
wood removed has Influenced great
ly the yield per tree. In orr cxperi-
ments we have found that best prun-
ing Was done after the terminal buds
had formed. Any fruit growers can
easily determine when these buds
have set by examining the ends of
the tvigs. Better results will be Sc
cured if one will wait until these
buds have hardened slightly. In
many cases localities in the southern
part Of the state the fruit growers
should commence summer pruning
within the next two weeks. The
trees in the northern part of the
state will probably not be ready be-
fore the latter part of the month.
The season has a great deal to do
with the formation of these buds.
AS stated before the amount of
wood removed will influence greatly
the yield per year. We have secur-
ID better results by pruning moder-
ate, cutting back from one third to
,ne half of this years growth. Do
rot cut away all Of this years growth
The removal of portion of the cur
'ent years growth is to a certain ex-
ent stimulating to the remaining por
ion of the tree, for the surplus food
will be deposited in the remaining
'uds, causing them to swell to dou-
lie their size. This aids them in
orming flower organs. If summer.
running is done during early summer
he flow Of sap would have a tenden-
Y to force out another terminal
rowth thus destroying the main OBJ
oct the fruit growers is striving for
the formation of fruit. Summer
running, as rule, does not affect
le present years crop but will have
'me bearing on succeeding crops.

sunny Jim" Plays Santa.

James DeBoard played Santa Claus
this morning in a substantial way to
a crowd of boys and girls gathered for
a demonstration at the front of The
Hub Clothing Store on High avenue
east. Mr.. DeBoard, on his own mo-
ton, distributed dimes to the boys
and the girls and had merry time
disposing of about twenty dollars In
cash, in ten cent pieces, dime TO
each lad or lassie. So thickly we're
the children packed about him that
they carried Sunny Jim" off his feet
and lifted him into the air repeatedly.
While Mr.. DeBoard was In action,
The Hub discontinued its distribu-
ton, and let him have full sway.
Hundreds of children saw Santa Claus
at The Hub front between ten and
eleven o'clock. So large was the
crowd at times that the street cars
had difficulty In getting through, as
the children occupied more than
half the street width. Several police
were required to keep the sidewalk
and the track clear.

CRINNELL CLEE CLUB
College Organization Gives Concert
at Congregational Church.

The Grinnell College Glee Club gave
"a concert last evening at the Congre'
gational church and although the
crowd was not very large those who
were present heard some of the best
of that kind of music that has been
heard in this city for some time. The
club is composed of twenty voices and
they are trained very well. The pro-
gram was a very versatile one, includ-
ing college songs, songs of the South
land and classical selections. In ev-
cry one of the different classes of mu.
sic the club showed up well and there
was hardly a selection given but what
they were encored.
In the course of the program several
solos we're given by different mem
bers of the club. r. p. Fl. Manuel,
who is president of the club and tenor
soloiSt, gave two or three selections.
He has very fine voice and pleased
the audience very much H. r. Stew
enson, baritone soloist, sang the solo
part of "Massa's in De Col Col
Groun'," with the Glee Club accom-
paniment, and made quite a hit with
it. p. F. Sprague also made quite a
hit with his rendition of the Songs
OF Araby." David r. Peck, who is the
director of the club. showed that In
addition to his singing he is an artist
on the violin. He played couple Of
selections and was given a generous
round OF applause each time. His
playing was something wonderful, be-
ing seldom excelled by any one who
has appeared in this city.
