Winter Wheat in Idaho.

The wheat producing area
of Idaho may be roughly
classed in three divisions: ID
the dry farm sections of
southern Idaho, (2) the irri-
gated sections in southern
Idaho, and 60 the subhumid
sections in the northern por-
ton of the state. Winter
wheat is very we'll adapted to
sections I and :, but not SO
we'll adapted to the irrigated
sections. Under most condi-
tons spring wheat is better
than winter wheat for the irri-
gated farm.
SEED BED PREPARATION.
Wheat requires a firm and
compact seed bed and thor
ough preparation of the soil is
essential for a good crop.
In the dry farm sections
summer following is neces-
sary and wheat should be
sown on land which has been
plowed in the spring and
given good cultivation during
the summer.
In the northern counties Of
the state wheat should be
sown on a well-worked sum
mer fallow or upon land which
has been cropped to beans OF
peas. Bean or pea ground,
when the summer has not
been too dry, will, with
thorough discing, give good
seed bed. If, after the beans
or peas have been removed,
the ground is too dry for disc
ing to do much good, it viii
be necessary to- wait for fall
rains. Then disc or pillow thu
bean or pea ground. Do no
pillow too deeply-six inche.
is sufficient. After blowing

On the irrigated farms

NEAL M'LAUGhLIN SCALES WALL 0F
 PENIlfNT|ARY
Five Times Prepared for Execution, Ozark Man
 Now at Liberty.

Little Rock, Oct. 6.-Neal McLaugh- lin of Ozark, who was prepared five times for execution, escaped from the penitentiary here last night. A re- ward of S100 has been offered for his capture. He was under life sentence for criminal assault death sentence having been commuted in 1916 by Gov ernor Hays.
 Mclaughlin. following the commuta- tion was used in the engine room at the penitentiary. He was "half- trusty." Friday night he used lad der which had been in the engine room to scale the penitentiary wall in the rear of the engine house. No other prisoner apparently knew of his plans, none escaped with him. Prison offici- als discovered his escape early Friday morning.
 Little Rock women were endeavoring to obtain a pardon for Mclaughlin, and his case recently was submitted to Governor Brough. Governor Brough declined to grant the clemency; how ever, it was believed that Mclaughlin would d have obtained a pardon later.
 McLaughlin's brother, Kie Me LaugHllil, ldoC WcCh was when tried for the murder Of former Representative Nixon of Ozark: Prior to Nixon's murder he and Kie Me Laughlin fought bloody fight on the streets of Ozark because Nixon, it was said, opposed the commutatlon granted Neal Mclaughlin by Cover. Tor Hays. T., .-
 Mclaughlin, who is 34 years old, is six feet two and one-half inches high; has hair slightly tinged with gray, and brown eyes. He is we'll built, weigh ing about 200 pounds.
 Mclaughlin has two bullet scars, one on the right side of his neck and the other on the inner surface of his right thigh. He also has birthmark on his left hip. When he escaped he was dressed in blue overalls.

Nearly Two Million In crease in Assessments
 Will Raise Taxes.

Assessed valuations in Jefferson county now total $1S,149, 400, an in crease of s1,642,74O over the preced- Ing year. The increase will add So0,oQ0 to the approximately half mil lion paid in taxes in the county.
 The figures are taken from the re- port of Assessor Fred T. Rucker to the state tax board. which was filed yes rterday. While entertaining the opin- ion that the township board plan, used for the first time this year should undergo some changes, Assessor Buck CT is 2ratified over the fact that no protests at new assessments have been filed.
 Real estate in the county is assess ed for S934S.310. and peronal prop erty for SS.S01, ,090. The greater part of the increase is on personal prop erty. Men familiar with increase in sand values assert that the increase sn total valuations is more than justi- fled by the increased Value of land.
 Property in Pine Bluff is assessed for more than half of the total. City real estate values are on the tax rolls at s5.612.730, and city personal prop ertv for s4,709760
 : County real estate is assessed at $3 ,665 .5S0, and county personal prop trty at S4,O91 ,330.

Reduction of Nearly 25 Per Cent in Premium for
 Ships in War Zone.
SHOWS CONFIDENCE
 U BOATS CONQUERED
fiction of War Rick insurance i,urg9u iS interpreted as Governments Belief That Submarines Have
 Lost Effectiveness.

Washington, Oct. GA reduction of nearly D per cent ii premium for insurance of American vessels and car goes traversing the war zone was an- nounced today by the governments war risk insurance bureau.
 The reduction was made, it was of ficially announced "because of de- crease in risk" Officially it was re- garded as the governments expression of it's opinion that the u-boats have passed the zenith in their campaign of frightfulness.
 Indications have not been lacking for three weeks that the government intended to revise it's war risk insur- rance rates in the light of reduced effectiveness of German submarines. It hardly was thought, however, that the cut would belarge.
 Determination of the premium is based upon many factors, but pri- mariy on the number of vessels trav- ersing the war zone and the number of sinkings The effectiveness of methods used in combating subma- rines also etners largely into consider ation. From government announce ment, it is regarded as apparent that officials believe that effective methods have been adopted to deal with the IL boats, altho details cannot be reveal ed

.
 Big gun actions are in progress along the Flanders front with indica- tions that the Germans, as usual in this form of combat are playing the secondary role. Field Marshal Haig's report on Friday nights activities mentions only increased fire from the German artillery, failing to reveal what his own gunnerS were about The statement recorded additionally that there was no infantry movement hV the Gcrm@nS during the night eX- cept by a raiding party in the vicinity cf Holle beke which was driven off Press reports. however. show that the GermanS are suffering heavily from British artillery fire.
 Some advance positions to which tlev were still clingine after Thurs days battle, have become too hot to hold. and from these the Germans have been withdrawn somewhat, Brit ing reconnoitering parties finding them evacuated.
 The overWhelmina nature of the British fire is being paid tribute to by the Germans it is noted by the in vention of new term to describe the bombardment. Ii is no longer "dr,lm- fire' that is spoken of, but .'hurri- cane fire" It is fire of this sort taat is preventing the German counter at 'tacks from being launched Dromptly or proving as effectively as formerly.
 The Germans are still trying to re- treive lost ground north of Verdun. An attack Friday night near Hill 344 was unsuccessful in dislodging the French except temporarily from an advance position. The line was short ly afterward reestablished.
 Russian affairs still claim prece- dence over happenings along the Rus sian front The democratic congress has adionrned after providing for a parliament of 3o5 mem bers. which is expected to sit until the constituents assembly is elect ed. Pearograd radicals now seem disappointed at the result of tle con gres, and have called a session of the all Russian soldiers and Work mems committee to meet in Petro- grad bringing up the threat of an Op- position parliament as they apparent Iy consider conservative influence too strong in body authorized by the congress- The cabinet situation i'll Petrograd is still complex but hope is expressed by the government that an adjustment for a coalition ministry will be reached.

 The following account of the cn gagement was prepared from the complete report received by the navy departments:
 " The American destroyer first sighted the submarine in the early morning of a clear day. The sea was entirely clam with hardly a ripple of foam. The submarine was running submerged with only her periscope showing. A large number of merch- ant ships were in sight. The u-boat was less than a mile off the port beam of the destroyer and following a parallel course in an opposite di- rection when the periscope was dis covered. It was throwing up a col umn of water several feet in height so like nearly spent torpedo that the officers of the deck thought for

 Negotiations for use of neutral tom mage have been progressing for some time between the United Stats and neutral governments. Som of the countries are ready to urn over large number of ships in exchange for foodsuffs, but this government will not let goods go forward until given assurances that it will in no way be used to aid Germany.

Cotton gins used only to gin the cotton grown by the owners, their tenants and share-cronpers do not come within the purview of the Ark ansas bonded warehouse, marketing bureau and cotton ginning law, and enforcement of the provisions, insofar as it applies to private gins, is en- joined in a decree rendered yesterday by Judge tehn M.

 The judgment was rendered in the case of Leo M. Andrews ct al. vs. T. e. Parham, prosecuting attorney, and John H. Page, commissioner of agri- tulture and eX-officio warehouse com missioner and supervisor of market ing, who was restrained from attempt ing to enforce the law against private gins.

BLOOMINGTON STRIKE ENDS
Company Agrees to Meet Demands Of
Garments Union-Troops on
Scene

Bloomington, Ill.,, July 7.-Tentative
recognition of the street car mems
union of the Bloomington & Normal
Electric Power and Railway company
was given by the Illinois Traction sys-
tenn interests, and the strike, which
has been in progress several weeks, is
practically ended. Giving recognition
TO the union also averted threatened
sympathetic strike of all trade union
lists In Bloomington, which would have
called out 5000 men. The company
has also decided to reinstate the
strikers.
The militia was called on when the
strike assumed a belligerent status
Thursday night when street cars were
broken and their crews severely beaten.
The situation reached a crisis soon
after the arrival of Colonel Foreman's
Second artillery, formerly the First
cavalry. The troops are camped
around the Mclean county courthouse.
Before the announcement of the rec
ignition of the union 200 machinists
of the Chicago & Alton shops here
walked out at noon, marched around
the courthouse hooted the militia and
took up a position near the city hall.
They were the vanguard Of the 5000
men who had threatened to strike if
the demands of the street car men
were not met.
