No Bread Famine In
United States This Year.


There will be no bread famine in
the United States this year. The larg
est wheat crop in history has just
been harvested and according to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture the total production is approx
mately 100000 bushels; nearly
100000 bushels more than any
previous crop produced in the United
States. We have at least 100000, 600
bushels of wheat which are not need
ed for consumption at home or for
seed. The surplus production Of the
United States usually goes to Europe,
but under present conditions, caused
by the European war, this cereal can
not cross the ocean. About 75,000,O 900
bushels have already been taken for
export, but most of it is being held al
the ports of departure.
Conditions across the water are not
SO encouraging. War in Europe tends
to prevent the shipment of wheat
from surplus European countries to
those which need imports-for exam
ple-from Russia to France, and a
famine there seems inevitable.

EARN FACTS

Those who till the soil are the
chosen people of God.
Farming is as old as the human
race and is yet in its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the
farmerwho plans while he plows.
No civilization has ever advanced
beyond its agricultural development.
| No farmer is successful who thinks
more of his barn than he does OF
his home.
The development of the farmer
himself must precede the full develop
ment of the ground he tills.
The most beautiful fact in the farm
ers work is that everything he plants
is lesson in faith.
The best farmer does not bother
about getting ahead of his neighbor;
his great business is to get ahead Of
himself
We must give to the people who
live on the farm the same education
al advantages for their children as
those Of the cities enjoy.
The country clergy is an agency OF
much potentially because the rural
life movement is religious as well
as Industrial and social.
There should be social and an
Industrial survey of every community.
The pastor, the teacher and the
school and church officials are they
who should make such a survey.
In recent survey of community
in New England, the average annual
income of 154 farmers who has a
common school education was 1929,
while the average net income of 122
farmers of the same locality with a
high school education was 1882 an
nually. This was worth to each
farmer who possessed it $3.50 each
year.

Profitable Prices For Farm Products.

Profitable Prices For Farm Products.
The greatest encouragement thai
can be given agriculture is profitable
prices for farm products. Crop des-
troying insects have been a stubborn
enemy, and Jupiter Pluvius has playe
many pranks on the farmer, but theie
Is no pestilence like low prices; they
will sap the life-blood of an industry.
1t is one of the most pitiful sights
In twentieth century civilization to
see a farmer after he has raised a
crop sit helplessly by and watch the
bulls and bears of Europe and Ameri-
ca trample over 1t, and yet If the
farmer will only organize and cooper
ate he can successfully fence out
these animals that devastate his pro-
ducts after the harvest.
The Idaho farmer needs co-operat-
ion as badly as diyersiflcation.

The Worlds Greatest Flnancier.

The worlds greatest financier is
the Idaho farmers housewife Hell
daily investments exceed in shrewd
ness the clever transactions of Wall
Street and no business concern OF
corporation, however ably differed
has ever been able to approach her
in economy. She is the nations abb
est trader and her transactions more
nearly reflect the progress and pros
perity of the country than the reports
of our clearing houses.
All legislation, financial or other
wise, ought to be so plain that the
housewife can understand it. Our leg
islators, state and national, shoot SO
far over the head of the average
citizen that those who are unable to
employ an attorney and accept his
statements in blind faith, must for
ever remain in ignorance of our laws.
OF course we have so many laws
that no human can expect to read
them and survive the ordeal, but any
person who feels an irresistible i'm
pulse to legislate, should try his
proposed law, on his neighbor and
get it down where the common peo-
pie can understand it before attempt

There are 237 farms in Idaho

Ability, Not Quantity,

Pays in Farming.
No farmer gets rich by the quaint
ty of production. 1t is the price he
gets for his products and economy
and business judgement displayed in
management that makes the farmer
wealthy.
We cannot pass law that will in
crease the price of products or reduce
the cost of blowing the land and
marketing the crop. We must depend
upon factories and transportation ia
cilities for marketing our products
and upon improved mechanical appli-
ances and the business ability of the
farmer to reduce the cost of pro-
duction and to more intelligently mar
ket his products.

The Contribution and Pistols.

In direct answer to the suggestion
advanced by a correspondent of The
Star. in a letter recently printed. that
the proposed pistol regulation law
would violate the third amendment to
the Constitution, comes A. Leftwich
Sinclair. former assistant corporation
counsel OF the District and chairman
of the law committee of the Chamber
of Commerce. now engaged In consid-
ering and framing an enactment on
this subject. Mr.. Sinclair points out in
an Interview printed today In The Star
that the courts have ruled In all in
stances that regulatory laws designed
to preserve the peace. to protect life
and prevent crime through the re-
striction Of the right Of the people to
bear arms" do not violate the third
amendment. This question has been
thrashed out in many cases. and there
can be no doubt. as MT. Sinclair sug-
gests, that the Supreme Court of the
United States. if reached with an ap-
peal on the subject of law such as
that which is proposed for the District,
would rule that the constitutional pro-
vision il respected by q statute which
merely seeks to prevent the misuse Of
the right to bear arms. No successful
assault has ever been made upon con-
csaled weapoas laws on this score. and
yet such laws are, IN q technical sense.

have suffered a severe blow which NAV
have marked effect upon the entire

that operations are in progress which
may somewhat retrieve the German

complete the disaster. Should the Ger

Tuberculosis Sermons.

With the principles of sanitary liv-
ing emphasized yesterday in every To-
cal pulpit the cause of health has been
undoubtedly advanced materially in
this community. The fight against tu-
berculosis now enlists the services of
all ranks and is progressing visibly,
as indicated in the gradual diminution
of prevalence and the spread of a
better public knowledge of the nature
of the disease and the manner of its
communication. AT present the ut
most stress is to be laid upon the edu-
cational endeavors of those who are
organized to fight this insidious af-
fiction Every possible means must
be taken to instruct the people in the
absolute need of fresh air and the
strict observance of certain sanitary
laws Neglect of simple precautions
leads to infection and continued neg
lect of the incipient symptoms of the
disease brings incurable affiiction. No
longer is tuberculosis rated as I'M
preventable and incurable in the early
stages The ministers of the gospel who
yesterday preached health sermons in tn s
city have carried forward this conviction
In terms that cannot fail to be
beneficial
