states:
A different attitude by Rockefeller
would have saved many lives in the

Colorado militia and strikers were
both guilty of lawlessness and viO-

"Arbitrate, was injunction to OPP

Need for federal and state laws to
prevent future similar labor wars.
Regulation of coal mines given as an

Coal operators did not cOnspire in

AURORA POLICE WOULD BUY
HOUNDS FOR PROTECTION
That the Aurora police fear an
other murder of the Jennie Miller and
Emma Peterson type is the rumor
about the. town. This was substan-
tiated when Chief of Police Michels
went before the city council asking
that they buy the bloodhounds which
traced the slayer of Emma Peterson
to the banks of the Fox river.
MiEhels is firm in his belief that
the murderer is the slayer Of Jennie
Miller, and that robbery, coupled
with insanity, was the motive for both
crimes.
Aurora is aroused by prediction
that the slayer is still at large in the
town and may break loose again at
any time. Women and girls seldom
venture into the streets without pro-
lection.

AFTER BETTER VARIETY
OF APPLES FOR IDAHO.


The October issue of the Journal OF
Heredity. a scientific magazine pub
lished by the American Genetic Asso-
citation, contains a review of the ad-
dress given by Prof. Vincent, horticul-
turist at the University OF Idaho, at
Berkeley last August. The article is
OF special interest to the people OF
Idaho, because 1t gives an idea OF the
big work that Is being done along the
line of apple breeding In idaho. One
Of the great needs, says Prof. Vincent,
is a better winter apple. Many of the
varieties w have have many good
points. but also have some serious
drawbacks. The Jonathan has the
color and quality. but is not a gooo
keeper, and is subject to water core
and storage scald. 1t Is also sus-
ceptible to blight. Ben Davis is a
good producer. is a good keeper, the
trees bloom late and are remarkably
free from disease. The fruit is not
easily damaged In shipping. But
along with all these good qualities the
fruit lacks crispness. juciness, flavor
and texture, and is so late in matur-
ing In the northern states that II does
not color up well. SO with other vari-
cites, all having very serious defects.
In an attempt to get a variety that
will combine the better qualities, Pro-
fessor Vincent Is using the Ben Davis
as a basis, and crossing several vari-
eties with 1t. The varieties used are
Jonathan, Spitzenberg, WAGNER. Ora
venstein, Winesap, Rome Beauty, Ar
kansas Black, Newtown, and Delicious.
With these varieties there have been
made 10.22S crosses since 1910. ano
at the present time there are growinh
In the nursery at Moscow, 1925 seed
ling trees. No one knows what these
trees will develop into, but without
doubt there will be found many i'm
provements in the good qualities as
a result OF the work.
Some idea of the immense amount
Of work involved can be gained by
a glance at the methods OF procedure
that must be followed. First the I'M
opened blossoms must be visited and
the delicate work OF masculation per-
formed so that the blossom will no,
be self %pollinated. and the blossom
covered TO prevent foreign pollen en-
tering. Pollen must be obtained from
the desired blossoms at just the right
time. and busted into the e~masculated
blossom. Then 1t must be sealed. In
the fall the pollinated apples are taken
the seed removed and carefully kept
till spring. when after two or three
transplantings they are finally set
out In the nursery as seedlings. All
this requires an immense amoun of
bookkeeping. and painstaking. care
full manipulation.
Prof. Vincent's work is somewha,
along the line of Luther Burbank.
and he spent som time with Mr.. Bur-
bank at his gardens at Santa Rosa.

Silage Crop Tests at Idaho Station.

Early this year tests with crons
other than corn for the silo were
started at the Idaho experiment sta
uon' In addition to approximately 25
acres or corn, SO acres were sown r.
peas and oats. and SIS acres TO ve,cb
and wheat.
The peas and oats were seeded
April 10 at the rate OF 60 pounds az
RUSSIAN peas and 40 pounds OF Swe-
aish Select bats per acre. Harvest
ing OF this crop was started July %
~ days after seeding. and with the
reception of a portion badly lodeeo
u was cut with a binder. Where the
crop Is not excessively heavy and tan
giod II should be cut with the binder
set low. Sheaves are much easier
loaded and fed into the cutter much
faster than loose material. When I'm
uhdies the crop is handled more rap
idiy aud With less help, The peas were
ripcnins fast when Gu, and the oats
were In the milk. More time would
have been given the oats except that
the peas were beginning to lose foli-
age. The yield OF green foliage from
the crop was IA tons per acre.
The vetch and wheat was seeded on
April l6 at the rate OF 40 pounds OF
Sonora Club wheat and 40 pounds O,
vetch per acre. On one half OF the
acreage winter or sand vetch was
used and on the other half sprinL
vetch was seeded. The wheat grew
rank. shading and checking the
growth OF the vetch. Little difference
vas noted between the relative
growths OF the two kinds Of yetch.
This crop was cut July "a. 80 days
after seeding. with the wheat In the
hard dough stage. and yielding ~
tons per acre. The binder did bette,
work here than with the peas and
oats.

for holding each crop. In filling a
small stream OF water was thrown
into the blower by means Of a hose.
This assisted in excluding air and re-
suited in a firmer pacK.
These crops yielded reasonably
well, having been grown on Palouse
soil cropped for several years in sue
cession. Corn on sod land or the I'm
ivcrsity farm this year yielded rs
tons per acre Of green forage.
The peas and oats silo was opened
August 81 with but 4 inches Of waste.
Considerable heat was still present
but the silage was mildly acid anu
was greedily eaten by cows and
young stock.
During the winter three strings
will be made of the dairy herd INT
three strings Of the beef herd. To
a string in each herd peas and oats
silage will be fed. Vetch and whea.
will be fed a second string in each
herd and a third string will be fed
corn silage. In this way 1t Is hoped
to secure valuable facts concerning
the feeding value Of these new Stag
crops comparing them with corn.
These tests of crops other THAI.
corn for the silo will be extended
over several years. Red Russian
wheat will be seeded at once for one
of next years crops.
