The problem of marketing the pro-
ducts Of the farm is receiving atten-
ton this year in way it has not re-
ceived in the past. The farmers of
Idaho have sold their products at lit
tie or no profit and at the same time
have seen those same products
bought by the consumer at magnih-
cent price. Equity would be done
both producer and consumer by bet
ter system OF marketing. To develop
such a system is one of the main
purposes OF the present organization.
The farmers unorganized are working
at cross purposes not only with the
general public but with each other.

sion law passed at the last session of
the legislature is now in full force

$1,000 per month. Section 3 of the
law says:
Such allowance shall be made by
the probate court and only upon the
following conditions: The child or

ance is made, must be living with the
mother of such child or children. CT
The allowance shall be made only
when, in the absence of such allow
ance, she will not be able to remain
at home with her children. (3) The
mother must. in the judgment of the
probate court, be proper person
physically for the bringing up of her
90 Such allowance shall,
in the judgment of the court, be nee
essary. No person shall receive the
benefit of this act who shall not have
been resident of the county in
which such application is made for
at least two years next before the
making of such application for such
allowance. Provided that the provi-
sions of this act shall not apply to
any child which has property Of its
own sufficient for its support

OF this law shall not apply to any wo-
man whose husband is not dead or
