Plenty OF Snow
In Mountains
FOREST SERVICE REPORTS CONDITIONS
. Twenty Feet of Snow on Cedar Mountain
Near Avery.

The recent high water in Occur
o'Alene Lake, Spokane River, and
tributaries to Occur d'Alene Lake
has caused the Forest Service,
through it's rangers at Avery,
Idaho, to male an investigation
Of the snow conditions in the hills
On May i8, Forest Ofiic~2s at
Avery made a trip to the higher
country and found that on the
Cedar Mountain trail, three miles
north of Avery, on a south and
westerly slope, the snow is yet
to be found. At a distance oe
four miles along this trail, there
is yet approximately ten feet; and
the prOspectors along the divide
between Slate Greek and the Little
North Fork of the st. Joe River at
an elevation of approximately
5000 feet, state that there is yet
twenty feet of snow in many
places. Forest Officers report
that from a vantage point located
on the Cedar Mountain trail, they
we're able to overlook much of the
territory south of the st. Joe Riv-
Ell south of Avery and determined
that the snow is gone only for a
short distance from the river.
If it turns warm again, similar
to the conditions existing during
the past week, it is believed that
even higher water may be expect
ed. In this connection, it might
n interesting to note the cOndi-
ffOn which existed causing the
high water at Avery on May 15.
From the night of the i4th to
the morning of the 18th, the rise
at Avery was almost two feet.
This was the crest which measur-
ed % feet above low water. Be-
tween that date and the eveningOf
May i8, the water fell to a point
80 feet. The Forest Service,
through its office in st. Maries,
is keeping in touch with the snow
conditions in the hills and pre-
diets that with conditions similar
to last week, a repetition of the
flood may be expected. The Su-
pervisOr's Office at st. Maries re-
ceives each morning and each ev-
ening a wire from the ranger at
Avery showing water conditions
so that it is possible with this in
formation to warn the public suf-
ficiently far in advance to meet an
approaching emergency. In so
far as is profitable this Office will
keep those interested currently
advised of these conditions. II
is interesting to know that in con-
nection with the flood of last week
the minimum thermometer read
ings at Avery ranged about so de
grees for a period of several days
an unusua ! condition for thai
point at this season.

Battle of NarVa.

The battle of Narva was fought No
vember 80, 1900 between 5000 Swedes
under Charles MI and 10000 Russians
under General Dolgorouky. The Rus
slams were besleglng Narva, and after
driving in ten large bodies who occu-
pied advanced positions, Charles bold
ly attacked their intrenched camp.
After a brief cannonade the Swedes
stormed the Russian trenches, and al
though the Russian artillery stood to
their guns, the defenders were driven
out in disorder after three hours of
hard fighting. The Russians lost $4,000
men in the trenches ana many more in
the open fight; the Swedes only lost
GOO. Narva was founded by the Danes,
and after being held briefly by the Rus
slams passed to the Swedes in 1881.

feet for his epochs, invention. In
stead, he ran the whole gaunt of ridi-
Guile and penury and hardship, OF
blasted hopes and blightsd ambitions.
Even before the first Cyrus II. Nc
Cormick was born in 1909, Robert Nc
Cormick, his father, Virginia farm
err, had sweated and struggled to con-
struct machine that would cut grain.
His experiments proved failures. Cy-
rus H. Mccormick, however, evolved
the reciprocating blade and after few
weeks OF experimenting built reaper
containing the basic principles OF the
reaper the world now knows. But
success was not to he won at once. 1t
took nine years TO find the first buyer
of reaper! From 1881 to 1910 not
one machine could be disposed of--not
even with an advertisement Offering
the reaper at $50. The sale Of two
machines in 1910 helped little, but
lS4l was a blank. The next year
brought seven orders, the next twenty
nine and the next fifty. In 1916, when
thirty seven years of age, Mccormick
set out to survey the country for an
ideal location for his works. With
characteristic shrewdness he choose u
struggling village untouched by rail
roads, on the shore OF Lake Michigan.
1t could not even boast of one public
building, and it had queer name,
Chicago. Mccormick found partner
willing to pay s25, 900 for half-inter-
est in the business and began to manu-
facture the Mccormick reaper on
stable scale. He established agencies
at over score of central points and
adopted the then novel method OF ad-
vertisng Money back If not satisfied. y
He offered TO send reaper TO any
farmer, let him use it, and II not
pleased with the result, return IL at
the makers expense. Then came con
slant harassment from competitors,
mass of legal suits, and other wor-
ries and difficulties. Yet Mccormick
found time to plan and do big and still
bigger things.-B. c. Forbes, in Les
lies.

THURSDAY, JUNE 1917

Senator Nelson declares, in discuss.
ing the pending Food Survey Bill, that
the crop reports Of the Department oil
Agriculture, instead Of being a benefit
to farmers, are used by spectators to
influence the market.
OF course, they are so used.
Let US suppose, for example, that
there is an April report showing a
great shortage in fall-sown wheat,
which will be harvested in June and
July. The spectators can use, and do
use, that report to lift the prices OF
wheat. OF what use is it to the farm
err? OF what use is it to anybody as
exact information2 1t is the result OF
guesswork based upon general survey
Farmer Jones does not know just how
his own crop OF wheat will pan out
He has been farming since the Depart
ment Of Agriculture was in swaddling
clothes. He has observed his wheat
field every day. Yet be cannot say
positively in April what his yield will
be. He cannot say what it will be APP
proximately. A jury Of his neighbors
gathered to sit on tie fence and re-
turn verdict upon the evidence be-
fore them could not say what the crop
would be. The same jury sitting on
the same fence after the binder has
cut the wheat and bound it into bun
dies cannot say what the yield viii be.
The farm hands who have pitched the
bundles and shocked the wheat cannot
say what his yield will be. The
thresherman and his crew can only
guess. Not until the wheat has been
threshed can anyone tell what the
yield will be. But in April crop re.
port can tell its readers that wheat is
92.l Of normal crop, or 1873, and
spectators can use the report.
The exact figures given in crop re.
ports must be guesswork. They must
be, oftentimes, the guesswork OF in
expert guessers. They must be large
ly, poppycock. But in market
which is responsive to rumor that
the crop will be great or small In Aus
tralia or the Argentine Republic the
reports have a positive value to the
specializing fraternity. They can be
used TO keep wheat up in the spring.
II the crop turns out in July to be
much larger than the reports fore cast,
the crop can be used to depress harvest
time prices. The farmer is defeated
in the market by his good fortune in
the field. During the next eleven
months there are crop reports, war
reports, rumors and what not upon
which the spectators can manipulate
wheat until the home harvest is again
reached.
Farmers, no doubt, pitch crop re-
ports into the waste basket when they
get them.
