Increased Wheat Acreage in
Idaho.
J. s. Jones, Director Idaho Expert
ment Statlon.)


safe for the extensive winter
killing Of fall-sown wheat by
unusually heavy sowing of
spring wheat it is perfectly
evident now that the wheat
crop of 1917 the country over
is far below the normal. In
stead of the 800, 900, 900 bu.
confidently expected earlier in
the season the country will
produce this year but ESQ.,
900, 900 bushels. What is
true of the whole country is
particularly true of Idaho in
sofar as her yield of winter
wheat is concerned. Her
1917 crop will approximately
be 6,ooo, 900 bushels only as
against an average yield Of
10, 900, 900 bushels for the
years 1911 to 1915 inclusive.
1t is too early yet to state
definitely her yield of spring
wheat, but it is safe to say
that it cannot, because of the
extremely unfavorable wealth
er conditions that prevailed
during the growing season,
bring the total yield of wheat
in the state up to the normal.
Abnormal conditions created
by the war demand that steps
be taken at once to insure for
the next year the greatest
possible production of wheat
and other bread stuffs to pro-
vide for the wants of our own
country and for those of our
allies across the waters.
The federal department of
agriculture has initiated a
definite and perfectly logical
program for increasing the
country's yield of wheat in
1918. The first step in the
program involves a general
increase in the country's acre
age of winter wheat. In
keeping with that program
Idaho is being called upon to
increase her acreage of winter
wheat from fifteen to twenty
per cent over that of last fall.
Some of the states are being
asked to increase their winter
wheat acreage. much more
than that. Oregon, for in
stance, is asked to increase
hers fifty per cent over that of
last year, and Montana is be-
ing asked to increase hers bv
twenty-nine per cent. Asug-
gestion to increase the acre
age that is normally given ov-
er to spring wheat doubtless
will come later, assuming, of
course, that no more than the
average amount of winter
killing of the fall-sown wheat
occurs. Adoption of the pro-
gram by Idaho will mean a
wheat acreage this fall
of 100000 acres as against
$40, 900 acres in the fall of
1916. Assuming that the
wheat acreage of 1916
was sown by $500 wheat
growers, each one this fall

LIFT YOUR CORNs
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells How to Loosen a Tender Corn
or Callus So it Lifts Out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who
have at least once week invited an
awful death from lockjaw or blood
poison are now told by Cincinnati
authority to use a drug called free
zone, which the moment few drops
are applied to any corn or callus the
soreness is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus. root and all, lifts
off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment 1t is
applied, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone will
cost very little at any Of the drug
stores, but will positively rid ones
feet Of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callus. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get it at
any wholesale drug house for you.

In addition to the fine civil rec

Joined the famous Hampton Legion
in 1861 and served throughout the

KOIsNILOFF REBELLION ENDS.
Indications Point to Unconditional
Surrender to Government.

New York, Sept. 13.-Gen. Kornil-
or's rebellion has collapsed, and the
army at his headquarters has surren-
dered, according to announcement by
member Of the Kerensky cabinet
through the Russian official news
agency.
Up to a late hour last night there
| had been no collision between the
korniloff forces and those of the
government, according to an official
statement, which added that there
was no longer reason TO expect a
clash.
Gen. Korniloff, indeed, was be-
lieved to be on the point Of abandon
ing his efforts. One report had 1t
that he had offered to surrender on
certain terms, but that the govern
pitulation. This news was preceded
by dispatches announcing that Kor-
niloff was rapidly being deserted by
his adherents, including division of
Moslem troops, which had advanced
as far as Tsarskoe-Selo, only 5 miles
from PetrOgrad, and which on hear
ing the governments explanation of
the situation, asked to be sent home
to the Caucasus.
On the other hand, reports came
through Sweden Of further advances
Of the Korniloff forces toward Petro-
grad, and even that fighting had oc-
Cured in which the generals troops
had been successful near Luga.
The Russian army at the front evil

statement reports the enforced with

of the Riga-Wenden road on the
Northern Russian front, because of
strong Russian pressure. Russian

emily has for some unexplained rea-
son not been in touch with Petro-
grad, for the official statement given
out by the Petrograd war office to-
day announced there was no commu-

Internal troubles have again bro

nations on the entente side. Dis
patches from Madrid to-day report
that Portugal has declared a state
Of siege, because of a general strike.
Bombs have been exploded in Lisbon

needed reinforcements, and one
started off for help while the other
remained on guard duty.
In few minutes a dozen or more
troopers were seen coming on run,
and "Sally" had new idea. He de-
cided to be squirrel, and scsmper-
ed up a telephone pole. The soldiers
orderec him to come down, but he
did not obey. He clung to the pole,
head down, and reviled them with all
the gibberish at his command.
Finally, one Of the soldiers started
to climb the pole, too, but it was no
use. "Trotting Sally" became bird
and scared over the heads of the ring
Of men and hit the ground running.
The men started in pursuit, but they
didn't have wings and they were soon
left far behind.
The soldiers spent the rest of the
afternoon walking around in circles
and staring at each other. "Trotting
Sally" had got their goat and gone

The Smith Family Bible Found.

(Toccoa Record, 9th.)
What Is considered the missing
link necessary to establish beyond
any question the lineage Of James
M. Smith, Of Oglethorpe county,
whose millions have been contested
by many claimants since he died in
testate in N.December, 1915, was
found in Wilkes county few days
ago. 1t is the family Bible Of Ia
dock Smith, Sr., father Of Jim Smith,
found by P. S. Harper. at an old ne
gro church few miles from Wash
ington, Wilkes county.
Mr.. Harper, while at the church,
accidentally took a look into the old
Bible that has been used in the
church for 80 years, when his atten-
ton was attracted to pages noting
marriages and births Of the "Jones"
and "Smith" families. Further
search revealed the fact that this old
book was the family Bible of Zadock
Smith, whose heirs have failed to
pl oduce any records to establish their
claims.
That the book is authentic has
been established beyond all question.
1t is yellow with age, and we'll worn
