POLISH WHEAT.
A Good Thing for Idaho Farmers to
Keep Away From.

The U. 8. Department of Agriculture
recently has been informed that Po-
lish wheat is being offered for sale In
Montana at the exorbitant price OF
$1.00 per pound. Polish wheat is a
variety more closely related to the
Durum wheats, than to the common
wheats. The head is to 6 inches
long and one-half to three-quarters of
an inch wide, usually flexible instead
OF stiff. The chaff is very long, and
thin and papery. The kernels are
larger than those OF Durum wheat
and about twice as long as those OF
ordinary varieties OF common wheat.
Like those OF Durum wheat, the ker-
nels are flinty and of an amber color
A few years this wheat was explolt-
cd In Idaho under the misleading name
Corn Wheat" II has also been ex-
plotted at different times as "Jerusa-
lem Rye" "Giant Rye" etc.
This wheat is grown to a slight
extent In southeastern Europe, but
never has been grown commercially
In the United States. 1t is carried In
stock and sold as novelty by most
seedgmen. II has been tested by many
experiment stations and has never
been found to yield as well as good
varieties of common and Durum wheat
From our present knowledge II IL
not recommended for growing any
where In the United States.
Those Offering the seed claim that
1t does very well on dry land and al
so under irrigation II not watered toe
much. They state that Polish farm.
crs In Montana claim that this whcat
yields from So to $50 bushels per acre
and makes the very best OF flour and
hog feed.
These statements are directly con
trary to the experience OF the depart
meat OF agriculture and several stat
experiment stations. They are alst
contrary to the experience OF man,
farmers who have written to the de
partment at one time or another.
The accumulated evidence regard
ing this wheat does not indicate tina
It has any value that will In any wa,
Justify the charge OF s1.00 po1nt
for the seed and farmers are advised
not to be mislead by the glowing state
ments regarding yields and valu'
which have been made concerhpi

VILLA SUPPORTERS ON THE
BORDER BEING JAILED.
Wholesale Arrests Made and Quarters
at ElPaso Becoming Crowded With
Bandit Sympathisers,

Arrests OF villa supporters and sym-
pathizers at ElPaso and at other
points along the border have reached
wholesale proportions.
Since the Columbus incident VII
Ilistas In United States territory are
said to have redoubled their efforts
to assist their hunted leader, AS a
result authorities other than the mill
tary have used every precaution to
prevent communication being ostab-
,ished between American points and
the mountain district where villa is
believed to have fled.
Against most of the suspects there
is no charge other than that they did
not enter the United States In the
manner prescribed by law.
The local police Wednesday stated
that 20 villistas had been confined In
the El Paso city jail. There are about
two score others held In the county
prison. In the meantime, anspects
are being taken into custody at many
points along the border and hurried
to El Paso for safe keeping

LITTER FROM BoRAH.
Frank Kluck Has Letter From Senator
Relating to Talk Delivered In q.

lowing letter from the senator. Mr..
Kluck wrote the senator regarding
an expression used during the course
OF a senate debate with which he waa
not In sympathy. and received the

March 8, 1916.
my Dear Mr.. Kluck: l have be-
fore me your letter this morning. I
regret exceedingly to say that my

not believe this will bring war. It
is needless for me to say that re-

question upon which men may honest

NORTHWEST HAS NEW
CORN CHAMPION

A new boy corn champion Is crown-
ed. Another great group if states has
been added to the so-called corn belt"
of America.
This time it is Joseph Boyer of Col
lege Place, near Walla Walla, Wash.
Last season Joe raised 149 bushels of
dry shelled corn on measured acre,
without the use of fertilizer. With
this record he took first place for
yield per acre at the Union Pacific
System Annual Corn Show, held at
Walla Walla early in December. Close
of Prosser, Wash, with yield OF
1917 bushels, and Edrawd Starkley Of
Bingham, Wash, with yield Of 121,a
bushels. A large club of boys at NAL
heur, Wash, averaged about 100 bush
els per acre.
Joe, the champion, believes In seed
selection, and attributes his success
to his care in this essential item. Ry
judicious selection of the best ears he
has doubled his yield in three years.
Here is a part of his own story of his
work:
1.-THE first important thing in corn
growing is the selection of seed. The
selection should be done in the field.
In this way 1t is easy to select the
largest and most perfect shaped ears.
always choose my seed corn from
stalks which bear two or more good
ears The ears should have good deep
kernels and small cobs. l keep my
seed corn in heated, but well ven-
tilated room until thoroughly dried.
Then l store it in a dry room.
"In preparing for corn crop plow
the land deep. The deeper the better.
Then / harrow it thoroughly right
harrow it until it is loose, mellow
and free from clods; then l furrow it
out in rows three feet apart. Use
single shovel in making the burrows;
plant in the furrow, covering about
two inches deep.
Making the furrow deep gives me
a chance to harrow my land deep and
work the soil in around the young
plants until it is large enough for the
cultivator. 1t also helps to hold the
moisture, as in planting this way you
don't get such high ridges to your
corn. After the plants are four 20
five inches high, / begin cultivating
with a one-horse cultivator. I cult
vate once each week until the corn is
tasseled. The more you cultivate your
land, the more moisture it will hold.
l have noticed that the land which is
cultivated most always produces the
most corn per acre. / try to irrigate
my corn directly after l give it the
last cultivation. Corn should be irri-
gated often during the latter part OF
July and August.
II do my planting between May Isl
and May 10th. This year ! planted
about May 5th and 9th. / plant yel-
low dent corn for my main crop.

UNITED WE STAND.

the American people lay aside their

man who maintains citizenship under

ual sopinions upon public questions.

agree with him will submit. IL they
are on the losing side. We have had

tho minority TO submit TO the will OF
the majority II took four years OF
civil war TO settle once for all the
principle that when an election has
been held. the win OF the majority
