BOY CORN GROWERS OF
IDAHO COMING TO FRONT

1T the boy corn growers of Idaho
continue the progress they have made
IN the last year this state soon will
be in the front rank as producer of
juvenile agriculturists, according to
Prof. R. A. Moore of the University
of Wisconsin who Jan. 3 finished judg-
ing the boys exhibits at the First Ma
tlonal Corn Show held in the man.
moth Hill Railway Building, St. Paul.
Trophy, cup awards valued at 5000
were given by the First National
Bank and the Northwestern Trust
Company. An exceptionally fine
quality OF corn was raised by the
boys OF Montana. Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho, the Dakotas, Wisconsin
and Minnesota for exhibition in this
show. These future greats" in the
corn raising field are rapidly putting
the Northwestern states ON the map
as new and wonderful corn belt
why, the corn laid down here for
me to judge has proved the most sur
prissing in quality that I have ex-
amined in the long years of my asso-
cation with the grain" said Prof.
Moore Considering Prof. Moore's
great reputation throughout the
United States as corn Judge, this
statement BY him spells the highest
tribute that could be paid to bow
hood in this country.
There were no sweepstakes in the
snow, the competition of the boy corr
growers of the seven states being
confined to the boys in the districts
OF their state. Following are the
prize winners in Idaho:

GERMANS INCITE
 MEXICAN PEOPLE

Washington, June 23.-Advices re- ceived here from Mexico allege that the German representatives there have encouraged the officers of the de facto government in their opposi- tion to United States troops remain ing in that country. The form of en- couragement is said to have been moral rather than material.
 The reports further declare that German citizens in Mexico are being treated with great consideration, their property not being molested. Some Americans have been taking advant- age of the favors shown the Germans by placing their property in the hands of German friends upon leaving MeXi- co.
 This information was disclosed by competent authorities in connection with the activity of Capt. Franz won Rintelen, now under indictment in New York for conspiracy to foment strikes in ammunition factories in the United States and under arrest in England. Won Rintelen is known by the authorities mentioned as well as by the government officials to have been most active in Mexican affairs.

FEAR LABOR SHORTAGE.
Grain States Planning to Get Harvest
 Hands to Garner Crop.

Farmers of Kansas and other grain growing states are worrying about the probable shortage of harvest hands, due to the call for 100000 men to go to the Mexican border The gather ing of this great number of young, stalwart men is expected to mean a scarcity of harvest hands, and the grain growers are already planning to make up the deficit.
 By means of cooperation, the grain producers have distributed lists of farms and towns where harvest hands will be needed, the approximate num- Der needed and such other informa ton, and these lists are now in the hands of railroad representatives in all parts of the country. One of these lists has been received by Freight and Passenger Agent Lindsey of the Iron Mountain here, and MT. Lindsey stated yesterday it can be seen by any one interested in the matter.

New York Cotton.

New York, June 23.-The cotton market showed renewed activity early today and, fluctuations were irregular after the violent advance of yester day. Liverpool cables were not as high as due, but full response had hardly been anticipated and the open ing here was steady at unchanged prices to decline of points. Houses with Liverpool connections were ac- tive buyers of July and new crop months, evidently to undo straddles, and there was further covering by July shorts but realizing was active and there also appeared to be quite a good deal of reactionary sentiment afqard the ring July contracts sold off from 132Sc to 1323c during the early trading, while December de- clined from 13.59c to 13.53c, with the general list selling about 3@6 points net lower during the first few min utes.
 After the close of Liverpool the market became easier under continued heavy realizing and local selling for a reaction.
 July contracts eased off to 13.17c, October to 13.32c and December to l 13.47c, or 9@12 points net lower, but at this level outside demand seemed to broaden while early sellers for re- action covered and the market was steady around midday, with prices only 3@5 points under last nights closing figures. Detailed weather re- ports showing rains in boil weevil sections may have helped the midday rally.
 Trading was less active during the middle of the afternoon, but the large 5 exports gave the market a steadier tone and active months ruled within 4 or 5 points of last nights closing figures around 2 o'clock.

Grain and Provisions.


 Chicago, June 23.-Wheat prices underwent fresh decline today on ac- count of unresponsive cable advices and because of better weather. Open ing prices, which ranged from 1-8c to 3-8c lower, with July at $1.02@ 1.02 5-8 and September at $1.05@ LOS 3-8, were followed by a material further setback.
 After opening 1-8c to. 1-4@3-8c higher, corn prices here underwent a general sag.
 Oats were governed mainly by the action of corn.
 Lower prices on hogs carried down provisions.
 Lowest prices yet this season for wheat were touched. July delivery going under $1O0. The market was influenced by comprehensive report telling of recent notable improvement in the winter crop and by surmises that the July 1 condition percentage of spring wheat would indicate 50,- 000,O00 bushels greater yield than was pointed to on June 1. Closing quota tions were heavy at POP 7-8c to 30 3 1-Sc net decline, with July at 99@ 99c and September at $1.02@1.02 3-4. Warmer temperatures led afterward to an additional break in corn values. The close was weak at losses of 10 3-4 to 2c net.
