PRAIRIE FARMERS
SEE DEMONSTRATION
Smut Explosion Fire Extin-
guisher a Success

A big gathering of farmers Of
the entire prairie section-prob-
ably numbering 2OO-met on the
hill between the towns of lilo and
Vollmer at 2 o'clock Tuesday after
noon to see a practical demonstra-
tion of smut explosion and the fire
resulting being put out by a fire ex-
tinguisher, made by Elmer johnson
Of the department of agriculture of
Washington, D. C.
Preceding the demonstration DR..
M. A. Brannon, president Of the
University of Idaho, gave most
valuable talk to the farmers on the
origin and nature of smut.
DR.. Brannon said in part:
"Smut is one Of the worst enemies
the farmer has to contend with.
Smut is thief with no sheriff to
arrest it. It is parasitic plant
made up of thousands, yea, millions
Of Spores"
DR.. Brannon had with him a com.
pound microscope through which
those present could view the spores.
The instrument magnified about
200 diameters.
Continuing, DR.. Brannon said:
Lewis county has made the rec
ord of having sent to the univer-
sity of Idaho the largest representa-
tion of Idaho farmers that ever
came to the university to study
questions that are of vital interest
to them. They were 'chaperoned'
by County Advisor A. E. Wade of
Lewis county.
From Vollmer station last year
were shipped 274,000 bushels of
wheat alone. Smut spores are
thieves who rob the farmers of this
section of 40 per cent of their
wheat crop, and this year they will
rob the farmers of the prairie Sec
tion of$100,0O0 worth of grain as
tax. Can we kill smut spores? If
we cannot kill them can we control
them? We can. The spore is
parasitic plant living off the wheat
plant.
Smut traps have been placed in
the Palouse country and have
caught, during smut showers, from
$4,000 to 10000 spores to the
square inch.
Bluestone and salt-one pound
each-to five gallons of water has
proven to be more efficacious in de-
stroying smut spores than has for
maldehyde on seed wheat"
| Many questions were put to the
speaker by interested threshermen
about twenty of whom were pre-
sent-and they were given prompt,
decisive and apparently satisfactory
answers by President Brannon.
Mr.. johnson stated that this was
the twenty-fifth demonstration he
had made this season, all of which
were successful.
All those present seemed keenly
interested both in the demonstra-
tion made and in the practical talk
given by DR.. Brannon, to which
knowledge the farmers and thresh-
ermen seemed willing to pin their

LAPWA| POSTOFH|CE
SAFE BLOWN
Ten Dollars in Cash Secured
by The Robbers

The safe at the Lapwai postoffice
was blown Monday morning about
2 o'clock but only about $40 in
cash was secured by the robbers.
Entrance to the postoffice building
was effected by breaking the glass
in the door, which enabled the rob-
bers to operate the night lock.
The explosion was heard by Mrs.
J. B. Watson and other citizens.
Mrs. Watson went to her front
window and saw a man leave the
postoffice building and later saw
an automobile stop in front of the
Office and man stepped from the
side of the building and entered the
car, which was driven rapidly away.
AT the time Mrs. Watson had no
thought that the explosion heard
was a robbery.
Sheriff Harry Lydon was called
to Lapwai to make an investigation
of the case and it is probable the
government secret service agents
will be detailed on the case. The
tools used to prepare the safe for
the explosion were secured from
the Messersmith blacksmith shop
and nothing was left by the robbers
that would give the officers any
clue as to their identity.
The report received from Lapwai
was to the effect that the robbers
were familiar with the store build
ing in which the postofice is locat-
ed. The store is conducted by Miss
Elizabeth Crawford, postmistress,
and it seems the robbers entered
the building with full knowledge as
to the location of the postoffice val
uables. 1t is stated the postoffice
money kept in the safe generally
amounted TO more than one hun
dred dollars. but remittance was
made Sunday morning and only a
small amount of change was carried
over.
The robbery is said to be very
similar to the Kendrick postoffice
job and the view is held by the
officers that the same persons are
responsible for the two robberies.
The presence of the automobile fol-
lowing the report of the explosion
has given the officers the view that
the robbers may have come from a
distant point but had familiarized
themselves with the store by one
of their number going to- Lapwai
as a harvest laborer. It is believed
a plan is in operation for the rob-
berry of the postoffices in the small
towns located in the grain growing
districts and that the government
agents will give especial attention
to the investigation of the Lapwai
case.

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS.
At The Colonial.

Valentine Grant, in 1.-The Innocent
Lie. Mora O'Brien is an Irish peas
ant girl living in small town with
her two brothers. One is a hard
worker, while the other is a shiftless
lad The good brother incidentally,
goes off to war to help fight the battles
of the English. The younger brother,
Pat. takes his brothers savings ano
decides that America is the place for
him, Nora his sister goes with him.
Nora Owens who lives in the same
village has wealthy relatives living in
New York. Ascertaining that Nora
o Brien, her friend, is about to journey
to America, she asks her TO deliver
message, explaining that she has de-
cided to forego visit to her New
York relatives, because OF her forth
coming marriage with one of the
Kings Own, Captain Stuart. Nora
O'Brien sets sail and in good time ar
rives safely On inquiring her way
from a typical New York hoodlum.
she is taken to dive and an attempt
is made to ply her with knockout
drops. Just as the rowdy thinks he
has her in his clutches she dashes the
glass of drugged liquor in his face, and
rushes for the door The police come
to her assistance and Nora is removed
to a hospital.
Here they find the letter explaining
Nora Owens postponement of her
visit to her wealthy American rela-
tions. The Watsons being notified, &C
opt Nora, who is too i'll to protest.
After getting better, Nora realizes
the situation, but hesitates to tell the
truth. Conscience. that awful ac-
cuser, however. gets in its work and
Nora decides to leave.
But before arriving at this state of
mind, however, she endears herself to
the Watson family by saving the
youthful son and her from death.
Valentine Grant is excellent as the
young Irish girl, Nora O'Brien. Her
conception of the character is per-
feet. Besides acting the part we'll
she also looks it. VIM CourtIeigh,
Jr., is Nora's American sweetheart
and his performance is in every way
acceptable

Laws "Reasonable Doubt

Ordinarily everybody knows what
reasonable doubt means, and what
the law means when it says that the
prisoner cannot be convicted If the
jury has a reasonable doubt of his
innocence. But when the Judge gives
a dozen instructions on reasonable
doubt, it is clear that nobody could
understand what is meant.
ST. Augustine, when questioned
about doctrine of the church, said:
IF you ask me, l don't know; but
IL you cont ask me, know very
we'll"
The result is. in any important case,
that the confused jury goes out to find
a verdict, taking with them an arm
full of instructions, Melville DAWSON
Pest writes in Saturday Evening Post.
Half of these instructions will tell
them that if they believe certain
things, they must find the prisoner
guilty and the other half will tell them
that if they believe other things they
must acquit the prisoner, and some
times the instructions will be so
drawn that upon the statement of the
same Beliefs one instruction tells them
to acquit the prisoner and the other
tells them to convict him. So they
do not know what to do, and probably
toss up penny on the verdict.

Passed Tn Hot Coffee,

It was bitterly cold. The woman
standing in her warm kitchen, where
the thermometer registered IS, and
looking out at the man putting a load
of coal into her cellar, shivered. She
noticed how red his face had grown
from the incessant Shaping of the
wind; she saw he wore no overcoat,
that his throat was not bundled about
as it should be. that his gloves were
poor, cheap affairs Pity for the man
filled her heart and when he had fin
ished shoveling in the last of the coal
she opened the door and spoke to him.
You must be very cold. Don't you
want to step inside by the kitchen fire
and get warm, and let NE get you
something hot? I will give you a cup
of steaming hot coffee"
Lady" replied the coal man, IF
you have any good whisky I'll come in
for a swaller or two, but don't care
nothin' about coffee-coffee g no good
for a Teller when he's as cold as
am"
And the ,kind-hearted lady had to let
him go away, suffering.

EARLY SPRAYING FOR PEA LICE
is NECESSARY.
E. N. CORY,
Maryl land Agricultural College.

The pea and melon lice are the most
serious aphids with which the trucker
has to deal. Pea lice live for approx
mately eight months of the year on
clover, preferably on crimson clover.
hence the first measure against the
pea louise should be to remove the
pea field as far from clover as prae-
teal or if it Is necessary that both be
close together, the clover should be
turned under early in the spring.
Careful watch should be made in
April for the first aphids, which are
light green and about one-eighth of
an inch long, and spraying should
take place Immediately after they are
first observed.
A tractor sprayer with nozzles so
arranged as to direct the spray over
the top and both sides is the best ma
chine to use Four rows can be

OLD BILL GOT THE BIRDS
Truthful Person Comes to the Front
With Story Of Really Remark
able Shooting.

Speaking of good Shots" said
Truthful. the best shot l ever saw
was Bill Slivers, who used to hunt out
here in the early days. Bill learned
the gunmaker's trade when he was
young and want to say that he was
some mechanic when it came to that.
He invented gun which he made
himself that beat any of these here
modern guns for long distance and ac-
curacy. He might have made for
tune out of ii if he had put il on the
market. but Bill just naturally didn't
care for money and Just made one gun
and quit at that.
"One day there was a flock of
pigeons flying across the country In
those early days there was terrible
lot of wild pigeons. There amt any
more of them now, but people who are
able to recollect back 40 years remem-
Der when there were millions and mil
lions Of them. This flock was flying so
high that they weren't visible to the
naked eye. but Bill used long-distance
field glasses when he shot with that
gun. The fellers in the camp said they
would like to have mess of birds and
Bill said he would just go out and
shoot a dozen or So
"As ! said, this flock was flying so
high that the birds weren't visible TO
the naked eye and when Bill said he
would shoot a dozen or so the cook
gave a derisive laugh and said, You
doggoned fool, there amt no pigeons
within thousand miles OF here
"Bill didn't say nothing in reply
just took his gun and field glasses and
began shootin' in the air The cook
looked at him minute and then said
to the other fellers, 'Ol Bill has sure
been film up on loco weed and gone
plumb crazy. Just look at the old fool
out there shootin' holes in the air..
"Bill paid no attention to the re-
marks Of the cook-went right along
shootin' until he had fired IL shots
then he came in and put up his gun in

Just about seven o'ciGck in the Morn

birds began to fall. There was IL of
'em and every one of 'em shot through

CONTROL TEE COOLING
MOTH BY SPRAYING

Now that the dormant season spray
ing is over. orchardists must prepare
for the control of the Cooling Moth,
which causes wormy apples, by treat
ing their apple trees Just as the bios
SONS fall.
The Cooling Moth passes through
the winter as full grown larva in a
small. white cocoon beneath or in
crevices of the bark About the time
that apples bloom, the larva trans
forms to the pupa, from which the
moth energies.
The female lays from 80 to 60 eggs,
mostly upon the foliage. The eggs
hatch in from FIVE TO ten days. de-
pending upon the season and tempera-
ture. The young larva usually feeds
a little on the tender parts of the
leaves before 1t crawls to the nearest
young apple, which it attacks by en-
tering the calyx cup. Some will enter
the stem end or on the side. The

fruit. its work being indicated by the
well known eXcreta thrown out from
the calyx, showing the worminess of
the apple. The larva reaches maturity
in from three to four weeks and eats
its way out usually through the side
of the apple, and seeks secluded
spot, where il spins its cocoon for
transforming TO the adult. In this
region there is partial second brood
occurring about July 1st
Controlling The Moth.
The Cooling Moth is controlled by
spraying with an arsenical such as
Arsenate of Lead, Paris Green, etc.
Usually a combination spray is APP
piled. using concentrated lime-sulphur
solution, diluted at the rate of one and
one-half gallons to a barrel of water
Tor diseases, TO which is added the
hrsenical-two pounds. Paste Arsenate
of Lead, or about one-third pound
Paris Green. Most growers use Ar
senate of Lead. If the powdered Ar
senate of Lead is used-one pound to
the barrel is sufficient.
Many commercial firms are selling
Arsenate of Lime in place of Arsen-
ate of Lead This is a little cheaper
and there is no reason why it should
not be equally as effective on apple,
but should not be used on peach and
similaES tender foliage plants.
Apply Properly.
1t is very important in spraying for
the Cooling Moth that the work be
thorough, and that the spray be ap-
piled with good power. Power spray
ers are, of course, most desirable for
this as well as other spraying. The
| foliage should be covered with the
spray and special effort made to lodge
the solution in the calyx cup of the
| blossoms.
Through extended tests it has been
| found that the Cooling Moth can be
usually controlled with one thorough
spray applied just before the calyx
cup closes, or as the blossoms fall
With the high cost of arsenicals
this season, we would recommend one
spraying for this pest this season. OF
course, it may be necessary to spray
later on for the control of some dis
eases, such as Bitter Rot.
The above treatment for Cooling
Moth should also suffice to prevent
| injury from the Curculio on Apple.
