of the Spokane Interstate Fair and
Live Stock Show.
Speaking of the prospects, Supt.
Faville said:
1.-THE cattle department of the Inter
state Fair this year promises larger
number of entries than in previous
years. 1t will be recalled that last
year the Spokane Interstate Fair had
the largest exhibit of cattle in its his
tory. The leading dairy breeds and
beef breeds were represented by prom
inent breeders of the four Northwest
states. This year the outlook is for
a still larger exhibit. Entries are al
ready coming in which shows that
plans are being made by not only the
exhibitors in the four states, but from
as far east as Wisconsin and from
western Canada. The raising of the
embargo on the foot and mouth dis
ease means that the Interstate Fair
will be greatly benefited.
Exhibitors showing at the fair this
year will meet with greater opportuni-
ties of displaying and selling the pure
bred live stock from their herd than
for pure bred stock this fall Is sure to
come A meeting of the Pure Bred
Live Stock Breeders Association Of
Washington will be held during fair
week catalog of exhibitors and an
imals exhibited will be issued, as was
done last year, and publicity will be
given to the department on a larger
scale than in previous years. 1t is
planned during the fair week that on
each day a live stock parade will be
made in front of the grandstand."
Old exhibitors have advised Supt.
Faville that they are planning to bring
larger displays than they did last year.
and are now lining up their stock and
getting them in condition. Many will
take their stock from Spokane to the
Panama Pacific exposition at San
Francisco, to exhibit in the worlds
championships, some stopping enroute
at exhibitions to follow the Interstate
Fair while some from Canada enroute
to San Francisco will stop over in Spo-
kane for fair week, adding to the in
terest in the competition.
Every livestock raiser will be sent
a premium list upon request to the
secretary, Geo. P. Larsen, at Spokane.

CANADIANS AFTER PRIZES
Keen Competition in Grains Promised
At Spokane Interstate Fair.


Canada is the first to enter grains
and grasses for the Spokane Interstate
Fair and Live Stock Show of Sept 10
to IS, the entrant being Lieut.. VIM. S.
Simpson of Larchmount Farm, Pam
brum, Sask. Lieut.. Simpson has been
an exhibitor at nearly every large ex-
hibition in western Canada the past
of the most valuable trophies and
prizes. He has also been an exhibitor
at several International Dry Farming
Congresses and his decision to send
grains and grasses to the Spokane In
terstate fair is most gratifying to the
management.
Lieut.. Simpson has entered Marquis
wheat, blue peas, Canadian white peas,
feed oats, brewing barley, flax, smooth
peas and other varieties of spring
wheat, and will also send sheaves of
his wheat, oats, barley and bronze
grass and large display of Canadian
field peas in stalk.
This should stimulate the farmers
of eastern Washington and Idaho to
get busy and enter the several com
petitions. The interest in the grain
classes, and particularly in corn, this
year is marked and Secretary Larsen
looks forward to the keenest competi-
ton in these classes The prize-win-
ming corn is to be taken to the First
National Corn Show at st. Paul and
will be a big card in the advertising
of the Northwest as the coming corn
country.

Fight Against chinch Bugs.

To fence against chinch bugs 1,50o
miles of barriers were laid down to
protect cornfelds last year, says the
Farm and Fireside. This cost $40,500,
including labor. The average yield of
the protected fields was twenty-five
bushels to the acre, and it is estimated
that the barriers added to the yield of
corn the value of STATIC. This sort
of work has to be done by co-opera-
ton.
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1915-08-19
about as follows:

Allowing for labor 5000, mill feed
on investment $500, upkeep Of equip
ment $500 and incidentals 500, we
have an outlay of $4,000. This amount
subtracted from the gross income of
$500 leaves $1,000 net as compensa-
ton for the farmer and his family.
Not all farmers can accomplish this,
but such results are being attained In
a great many cases.
Not only must agricultural study and
successful culture of corn, wheat, cot
ton and rice, but must point the way
toward the most profitable selection of
crops for particular soils, climates and
markets. AS land values increase
farmers must acquire the capacity of
adjusting themselves to these changed
values, else they will find themselves
trying to raise crops that can no longer
be produced at profit.
There is multitude of interests
which every progressive farmer will
acquire, and these should be developed
as early as possible. Good roads, farm
credit, sanitary precaution about the
home, the use of the latest conven
fences and an alert community spirit
are among these interests.
Agricultural education in the public
schools must make of the boy an ex-
perimenter for truth. His investiga-
tons must proceed with undated zeal
when his school days proper are finish
ed, and his farm must ever continue
TO be his school.

NO WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
UntruthfuI Reports Circulated by
! Interested Parties.

Defaming neighbor at the expense
Of the truth does not help those who are
guilty OF the practice, and 1t may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, In the
hope that they may secure customers
for their own, will certainly fail of
their purpose. False statements so
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as in the
case of the lands of Western Canada,
the fertility Of which is now so we'll
known to people of every state In the
United States, the folly Of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part of those guilty of the
practice.
The present war has given some of
these people the opportunity to exer.
else their art, but in doing it they are
only arousing the curiosity of those
who read the statements and a trifiing
investigation will only reveal their un-
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Gently appeared In a number of pa
pers, reading in part as follows:-
1T Is believed that as a result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government a number Of former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm Of 100 acres, which in the case
Of many of the former residents of the
two Dakotas would practically. amount
to confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds of inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most en-
phatic denial. A full-fedged lie of this
kind has, of course, only short life.
and will tell in the end against those
who forge 1t and spread It, but, as
Winnipeg paper points out, it is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sibilities of Western Canada to find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity of this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized a levy
of $40 per quarter section on unculti-
waited lands owned by non-residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as
sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications of
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can
ada form a grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. BY having them
cultivated the owners as we'll as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. 1t is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi-
dents. The high price Of grain for
some years to come, and the general
splendid character of Western Canada
land will make the question well
worth on.-Advertisement.

Il WISH" thought the consul gen
eral, 81 could have told him about the
way the scoundrel spoke Of Elsa"
And Warrington, as he sought the
cafe veranda, wished he could have
told the basic truth of his fighting
mood; the look Mallow had given Elsa
that day in Penang. Diligently he be-
gan the search Mallow and Craig
were still in their rooms, doubtless
sleeping off the debauch of the pre-
ceding night. He saw that he must

At four o'clock his inquiries led him
into the billiard annex. His throat
frightened little as he discovered the
two men engaged in game OF Ameri-
can billiards. He approached the table
quietly. Their interest in the game
was deep, possibly due to the wager
laid upon the result; so they did not
