Every Farmer Should
Attend Shaw Lecture

Every farmer in Clearwater county
should make it point to attend one
or more of the lectures to be given by
Prof. Thomas Shaw and Prof E: A.
Wilson, noted agricultural experts,
touring the country at the expense of
the N. P. and the Great Northern
railway companies. These noted ex-
perts come here to help the farmers.
They can tell our people some things
of value in the growing of crops, the
raising Of stock, and other lines. 1t
is important that the farmers give
them big audience, and take an
interest in this work. Remember the
date and time and place. Orofino,

Fellows hall.

have come to learn that their inter
ests are identical with the farmer

Yesterday afternoon the county
board spent some time wrestling with
the proposition of county fair appro-
priations and no definite conclusion
reached. The law now permits
counties to vote taxes to pay for fair
grounds. The Orofino Improvement
Company owns the ground now used
for county fair purposes and has asked
the county to purchase the property if
the county deires to use it for this
purpose. To make the situation
more difficult the fair association is
involved in debt. Last year improve
ments were made and after the money
was used there was debt of some
$500 due the president of the county
fair association for lumber purchased
from himself. Mr.. Ze)enka took q
lien on the buildings, and will fore
close in few days unless some ar.
rangement is made to take care Of his
bill. About the only bills that Sec

age every farmer in the Northwest,
and every farmer boy, to grow more
corn and cattle because these will
produce bigger bank balances for the
farmer and greater prosperity for the
Northwest.
The ground should be disked and
narrowed till it is in condition for the
finest garden. The best possible cul-
tivation will be none too good. 1t
will pay when harvest time comes.
400 pounds of acid phosphate per acre
added to the ground lis recommended
as good and is guaranteed to make the
crop ripen five or ten days earlier.
Plant the best seed obtainable. Con-
suit the best authorities on corn grow
ing. Cultivate the corn frequently.
If you would win you must expect to
work, and it is worth while because
the purpose of all this is to develope-
better farmers; to encourage the far
mers to become better tillers of the
soil for their own good, and the gen.
eral good that will come to the entire
country.

Will You Help Gather
Grass and Grain Exhibit?

Is Clearwater county to have
creditable exhibit of grains and
grasses this year? If SO, who is to
gather it? Is it fair to expect one
citizen to do all the work? If not,
are you willing to do little, and by
joining with others make an exhibit
possible? Do you know when this
work must be done? Do you know
how to do it? If not, will you find
out and help do it?
Now see here! Listen. You pre-
tend to be good booster; to have an
interest in Clearwater county.
Prove it. Talks cheap. A little
demonstration is more eloquent than
a ton of hot air and talk.
You say you are too busy; that
you haven't time to get out and
gather grass samples. Well, you ex-
pect the other fellow to do it, or you
don't expect Clearwater county to
have an exhibit when next fall rolls
around.
We are not going to do it all this
year. If others are not willing tc
assist then the county does not deserve
an exhibit, and probably will moi
have one.
Here are some suggestions:
Grass cannot be handled after i
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1915-05-14

dries. Grass differs from grain in
that the leaves should be preserved,
and the stems not peeled. Do not
break or bend grass intended for ex-
hibition. Keep it straight, and do
not handle samples. If possible,
gather samples SO that grass will be
nearly uniform in length. Hang bun
dies heads down, so the punches will
dry straight and all the leaves be
straight like ladies' hair.
Don't hang samples in the sun
shine. Keep them in shady, dark
ened place, if you would have them
bright and green for fall exhibition.
Don't tie up large bundles. green.
They will mold and spoil. Severa
small punches may be tied together
after they have partly cured, wher
danger of mold is past.
The standard size of sheafs for ex
hibition is six inches at the butts
See that bundles are uniform in color
Don't tie in one bundle more thai
one variety, and see that it is uni
form.
DON'T injure the stems, leaves o
heads. Partly shattered heads ar
not fit to exhibit. Do not crush O
crumple. Use common sense.

that only by having prosperous farm
ers can country be prosperous, and
that railroads cannot prosper if the
agricultural interests of the country
are not doing their best. So the rail-
roads have come to look with jealous
eyes on the interests of the farmer.
They are spending immense sums to
help the farmers in livestock, grain
and every other line. The railroads
are hiring the best specialists in var
ious lines to travel and lecture to the
farmers that the farmer may have the
benefit of special instruction in breed
ing livestock, growing grasses, agri-
culture, horticulture and whatever
will improve the financial condition
of the farmer. The farmer who fails
to cooperate in this work cheats him
self. Help make the Shaw meeting 1
big success.

Sheep Valuable Asset For
Clearwater County Farmers

sive to maintain his sheep during the
winter. For example, during the
past winter he has feed the band not
to exceed one ton of hay. They have
wintered and done we'll on bean straw,
of which they are very fond.
Mr.. Dobson does not summer fall
low. He rotates with beans, crop
that pays we'll, and by the application
of modern methods; by diversifying;
by keeping his farm producing every
season, and by turning wastS products,
like bean hulls, into mutton and wool,
is making his land pay.
The Republican is giving consider
able emphasis to this matter because
of its immense value to all farmers
of this and adjoining counties. With
the million acres of forest pasture
atfording cheap summer and fall range
for ttocks, and with the possibilitie
of cheaper winter food by sowing
the available agricultural areas to
corn, beans and other crops affording
heavy ensilage yields. there is no rea-
son why Clearwater county should not
rapidly become an important livestock
section. There is no reason, but in
dolence or lazy Indifference, why every
farm in the county should not have a
bunch of sheep, and why the annual
export of wool from our county should
not amount to considerable item.

June Dobson, successful farmer
living near Gilbert, few miles west
of Orofno, has demonstrated beyond
doubt that there is money in sheep for
the Clearwater county farmer.
Mr.. Dobson has bunch of 81 head,
that this spring sheared the excellent
average of ten pounds of wool. For
this clip he is offered from twenty to
twenty-six cents pound f. o. b. Port
land, Oregon.
And here is matter of Importance
that Mr.. Dobson would emphasize.
Don't bother with scrubs. At least
have pure bred bucks. 1t pays. At
first Mr.. Dobson got an average of
only seven and half pounds of wool
from his sheep. Then he sent east
and purchased two high grade pure
bred Ramboulette bucks. The effect
of this breeding on his flock is an in
crease of more than thirty y-three and
a third per cent per head His for
mer average clip was only II pounds
per head. Now its ten pounds.
Here is another point worthy OF
note. Mr.. Dobson says that his farm
has no unsightly weedy, brushy fence
corners. The sheep have cleaned al
this up. He has found them of great
value, and suggests their value on the
brushy, timber lands of which Clear
wates county has many hundred thous
and acres.
Nor does Mr.. Dobson find it expen

Good Roads Day Set
For May 20 and II

May 26 and 27 is Good Roads day
for Clearwater county. The county
commissioners want to make this a
big day, and it is of SO much impor-
tance to all the people, and to every
section of the county, that two days
are to be devoted to the cause this
year. Good Roads day in Clearwater
county had its beginning in this
county last year, and proved great
success. Some localities devoted two
days, although but one day was ad-

l. R. Crow is the Orofino correspon-
dent of the Spokesman Review. |.
R. Crow is responsible for the Orofino
dispatch to the Review which said
that P. L. Orcutt failed to prove his
case against Blair Hoar. In other
words l. R. Grow is responsible for
the statement that the Clearwater Re-
publican deceived the public when it
said that as an official of Clearwater
county, Blair Hoar was an expensive
luxury; that he was not handling
county funds in manner calculated
to earn the greatest amount of inter-
est for the people; that as county
treasurer Blair Hoar made sorry
mess of depositing county funds.
Following is the account of the
criminal libel trial against Orcutt, in
which Hoar was the complaining wit
ness:
editor P. l.. Orcutt, charged
with criminal libel by Blair E.
Hoar, former county treasurer, and
now receiver of public moneys of
the United States land Office,
Lewiston, was found not guilty.
During 1914 Orcutt charged in his
newspaper that Hoar had refused to
account for interest on county funds.
The defense failed to prove the
charge, but Orcutt said there was no
malice intended and that the arti-
cles were based on information
only"
The above statement of the case
against the editor of the Clearwater
Republican has been generally copied,
appearing in the Kendrick Gazette,
the Idaho Review, of Boise, and other
publications, but originally appearing
under an Orofno date line in the
Spokesman-Rev And this state
ment is simply asserting that P. l..
Orcutt did libel Blair Hoar, and was
guilty as charged, but for some rea.
son was acquitted by jury. Which
is complete vindication of Blail
Hoar, and notice to the public that P
L. Orcutt isss sssunreliable, irresponsible
and unworthy of belief. 1t is motto,
to the world that the things charged
against Blair Hoar as public officia
of Clearwater county were unfounded
and that the Clearwater Rebuplical
failed to make good.
What are the facts?
P. H. Blake, cashier of the Fidel
ity Bank of Orofino, admitted unde
oath on the stand that the Clearwate
Republican was right when it sal
some $65, 900 of the peoples none,
was in the Vollmer bank in Lewiston
and that the county was drawing n
interest thereon. This referred to tn
latter part of December, 1918.
!. The evidence disclosed, among othe
things, that Blair Hoar, at one tim
had $5, 900 on deposit for some severs

The board took no action, adjourning
to Monday night, May II. Probably
by that time the rest of the citizens
will get their hats into the ring and
work up real lively row. 1t is
rumored that one a dark horse will
tie trotted into the ring Monday
night, who will agree to serve as
chief of police on condition of an an
nual pass to the moving picture show.
How strong this candidate will go on
the water commissioner job and
shoveling mud from crosswalks has
not yet been stated. But he is there
strong on the moving picture end of
the job, which is the only compensa-
tion asked.
Another dark horse for the job of

if the village will buy him one new
uniform with brass buttons, and ar
range with the village clerk to shine

There is rapidly growing number
of people who are convinced that this
country would have been in very bad
economic condition by this time if the
European war had not given us a
tremendous export trade and sharply
curtailed our imports. Many of our
industries were just in the position
to be FRUSTRATED by an onset of goods
produced by cheap labor in Europe
and sent to this country.
The offset now proposed for the ces
sation of war orders, whenever it
shall come, is tariff commission,
but that may be too slow. There are
discerning men who say that the only
thing to do is to re-enact the Payne
Aldrich law to save the situation at
once and then proceed with such a
study as will result in the correction
of the defects of that law. 1t is I'M
likely that the country will permit a
tariff policy that will run to extremes.
