croak of the biggest frog in the pud-

The bald, brutal fact of the mat

than our money-gathering acquaint-
ances, we haven't done anything to
merit public confidence. Generally
speaking, the whole world is from

so often misled IN one way or an

more right to expect to have

have no concrete results to show for

A graphic account of the tea industry
of the Island of Ceylon and the i'm
mense SUNG of money made by tea
cultivation is contained in recent re-
port from Consul Henry d. Baker, who
has a rowing commission to. the Orient
from the Department of Commerce.
Mr.. Baker finds that tea exports
bring Ceylon nc less than s25,00o.000 a
year and while there are several hun
dred companies engaged in tea culti-
vation in the island, nearly all are pay
ing dividends upward of per cent on
their capital stock and some up to 40
per cent. There are also about !, 500
private plantations on the island, many
of which grow as much or more rubber
than tea.

be made to yield per cent. with COM
paratively little risk. Although few
years ago, at the height of the rubber
boom it appeared as IL the tea industry
of Ceyion might become subordinate
to that OF rubber. yet there Is now a
reaction from such tendency, especially
during recent months since the price Of
rubber has shown a declining tendency.

IDAHO AND WASHINGTON MEETING

At "a meeting of the directors of the
Walla WalIa Fair Association of Wash
ington, held no February 18th, it was
decided to conduct their harness races
this season on the three heat, every
heat-a-race plan; 80 per cent of the
purse to be distributed in each heat,
and the remaining ten per cent to go
to the horse making the best time in
the race. They expect to announce
full program during the next two
weeks. They have also taken steps to
reduce their track to half mile one.
There was also a meeting on Satur-
day at Lewiston, Idaho, of fair direct
ors from northern Idaho and eastern
Washington, for the purpose of ar
ranging dates and making plans for
the fall meetings. Dates we're fixed
as follows:
Orofino, Idaho, Sept. 8-13.
Grangeville, Idaho, Sept 1920.
Moscow, Idaho, Sept. 22.27.
Lewiston, Idaho, Sept. % to Oct. 4.
Considerable interest was attached
to this meeting on account of the anti
race track gambling legislation now
being bitterly waged in the Idaho
legislature. The state of Washington
has law making gambling on races
felony. Idaho has so far had no law
on the subject. At the opening of
the present session Of the Idaho leg
islature bill was introduced to make
all kinds of wagering on races
felony. 1t was defeated last week,
and ohters OF milder form intro
duced. 1t is claimed by the OPP
ponents of the question that it is
fostered by the towns of eastern Wash
ington to keep their people from
crossing over into Idaho to attend
the races. Be that as it may, Idaho
intends to have four weeks of harness
racing at her towns near the line be-
tween the two states.

proposed to urge the passage of this
bill at the special session that will

authorities on vocational education

either in one or two bills, as seem to

LEVER BILL DELAYED.

Among the important measures
which Congress failed to adopt and
in such action created deep regret
among many prominent men and in
terests of the nation was the Lever
agricultural extension bill. Probably
no measure of wider Importance, more
beneficial possibilities and direct and
indirect bearing on the welfare of the
country has been before the public.
The plan was simple and logical.
1t led up to and crystallized a senti-
ment which has manifested itself in
many ambitious and practical plans
conducted Independently and by
civic industrial and political organiza-
tions and public-spirited individuals.
1t contemplated bringing directly to
the individual farmer the great knowl-
edge gathered by the Department of
Agriculture. the state agricultural
college and the state experiment
station. 1t was simple of operation
from the fact that it created no new
machinery, the federal and state
governments uniting in supporting
system, directed and supervised by
the state agricultural college. of
maintaining skilled agricultural
adviser in every agricultural county
in the United States. The matching
of federal appropriations by state
funds, the distribution according to
the agricultural population, the
supervision by the state agricultural
college, the plain and workable plan,
all made up desirable and practicable
legislation and economic operation.
Unfortunately complications arose
by reason of the Page vocational
education bill, including as one of
several different provisions section
designed to cover the same ground as
the Lever agricultural extension bill.
The Page measure was very broad in
it's scope and revolutionary in it's
character, and from legislative
standpoint il proved exceedingly
difficult to put in practical form for
passage. The suggestion was made
to subdivide this bill into the three
distinct propositions which, accord
ing to its author, it contains, this
would have greatly simplified and
facilitated it's passage. The Lever bill
was carefully worked out and it pass,

The custom, which has prevailed for
SO many years, of Congressman send

was brought to sudden end last
week, when the out going Congress
eliminated from the agricultural APP

While originally intended for expert

and used very largely for helping
