FARM TRACTORS HELP
TO WHIP KAISER

Uncle Sam owes debt of gratitude
to the farm tractor. Without this
comparatively new and powerful ma
chine-of-all- work, the American far
mer would not have been able to meet
the excessive crop requirements of
1917, in the opinion of James w. Ly-
ons. general manager of the Bull Trac-
tor company.
Mr.. Lyons, known as the foremost
of American tractor engineers, asserts
that the nations fighters abroad and
in training in this country, to sag
nothing of our great army of stay
at-homes, must thank the farmer and
his tractor for the bumper crop which
is promised as the farmers contribu-
ton toward making "the world safe
for democracy"
'ln ALL" Mr. Lyons asserted,
"there are in excess of 34,S71 tractors
in the United States. These figures
have taken from the report of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The number does not include
any tractors bought by farmers after
February 1917 1t is safe to declare
that SO per cent of this vast number
of tractors have worked and are work
ing at top speed, together with Tho
great number sold since the govern
ment figures we're tabulated, in con

centrated effort to produce the great
est crops the nation has ever known.
THE nation looks to the farmer, the
farmer looks to the tractor, and in
consequence the tractor demand this
year has reached astonishing proper
tions. Take our old organization-the
Bull Tractor company-for example.
Only recently Rock Island train, en-
tirely made up of carloads of Bull
Tractors, pulled out of Minneapolis en-
route to Kansas City. In all there
were 235 tractors, and 20 days after
these arrived at their destination, the
entire number we're all sold and in
the field working. This constitutes,
we believe, a worlds record in trac-
tor sales.
This remarkable feat Mr.. Lyons
continued lis evidence of the great
faith the farmer puts in the tractor
The great volume of tractor sales in
the nation this year has deep signifi-
canoe and visualizes the spirit of de-
termination with which the American
farmer is doing his bit. The grand
total sales will make a sweet morse
for American consideration-and al
e extremely bitter mOrsel for Kaiser
Wilhelm and his Prussian junkerdom.

Select Seed Now
Advises Analist
Select the Best Possible at This Time
So as TO Have Good Quality Says
Price VIII Rise in Spring.

Now is the time to select seed for
1918 seeding. Too many, such a word
of advice may seem hurried, but for
the sake of quality and the proven
ton Of a re-occurrence of a seed
shortage such as experienced this
year, it is timely, says V. P. Fawcett,
state analist.
The prevailing and prospective
prices for grain and grass seed are
high, and will therefore encourage
ready sale as soon as threshed. The
yields for the United States are much
less than estimated. The demand for
grain has increased until it exceeds
even the estimate. The grain crops on
many dry farms are a total failure.
We must make allowances for an
other severe and adverse winter. The
need for the best possible seed grain
obtainable is apparent Those fields
of grain that are freest from mix
lures and smut with good yields of
good quality grain should be saved
in total for seed instead of being mill
ed This field selection and reserva-
ton would mean much for grain i'm
provement and insure Idaho a proper
seed stock for spring sowing.

Aircraft Board
in u. s. Needed

(By Morris Sheppard, Senator From
Texas Written for the International
News Service)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The crea-
ton of an aircraft board has been
made necessary by the demonstrated
Importance of the aeroplane in mod
ern warfare by the appropriation of
more than S7O0,O00,OO0 for the con-
struction of military air machines and
by the need of paying especial atten
ton to the task of producing an enor-
nous fleet of aircraft within less than
a year.
Existing agencies in the various de-
partments, competent and active as
they are, are unable to superintend
and complete this vast enterprise. 1t
is necessary to establish a board of
experts and business men, whose
special function it will be to co-ordi-
nate existing sources of aircraft sup
plies, standardize both the factories
themselves in all parts of the country
and the various parts of the needed
machinery, and create new sources of
production.
This board will not interfere in any
way with the functions of military
and naval authorities, but its jurisdic-
ton will end after the necessary num-
Der of machines has been produced.
Furthermore, it will fall to the lot of
this board to standardize machines
not only for the United States. but
| for all our allies, or at least to take
leading part along this line. This
board must be given a legal status
that it may exercise the necessary in
! fluence and have the proper prestige
among our allies.
1t may be surprising to know that
until last year the government
which constituted the principal source
of demand for aircraft, had ordered
less than 100 machines, and that un
til few months ago there were very
few factories in the country making
more than a very few machines.
This will give some idea of the tasl
confronting us now, namely, to pro
duce thousands upon thousands o
these machines within the next few
months, to develop motors which shall
be technically superior to those il
operation by our enemies and which
shall prove the determining factor il
ending the war in our favor.
Moreover, commercial and othe
uses are developing in connection will
the aeroplane industry. Already tn
aeroplane has demonstrated its use
fitness in life saving work on tn
coast by the coast patrol, in fightini
) fires in great cities and alonl
wharves and in carrying the mails
in fact, there is no limit to what ma
be done along this line. The air is +
+ be the principal arena of development
: both in war and in peace.

River gorge are not as ancient as geo.

These scientists discovered the re-

have long been regarded by biologists
as of the same period as the Ellens-

of the California professors prove the
bluffs to be of much later formation
Other fossils found in the Columbia

MAY REVIVE TENNIS ON
WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS
international News service)


WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-There is
good news" rumor around the White
House these days. 1t is possible that
permission will soon be granted for
the resumption of tennis playing on
the White House courts.
The recent illness of Joseph p. Tu-
multy, secretary to the president,
ascribed by his physician, DR.. Cary n.
Grayson, U. S. n, to twelve years of
overwork and lack of sufficient exer-
else, has revived the subject of play
ing tennis on the famous old courts,
where Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo and Miss Wilson, the presidents
daughter did much of their court
ing"
The courts have been closed since
war was declared, by order of Secre-
tary Tumulty. who said he did not
think it seemly while the country was
preparing for a great struggle that
there should be public amusement on
the White House grounds.
1t is not yet settled whether Mr.
Tumulty will allow the playing OF
tennis to be resumed on the courts
Strong pressure is being brought ID
bear on him to do so, particularly by
attaches of the state department, and
others whose work calls them into the
neighborhood of the White House Of
fees from day to day. These players,
imbued with the modern idea of keep
ing physically fit by plentiful exercise,
are urging Mr.. Tumulty to take care
of his health in accordance with his
physicians instructions, with one eye
open to the opportunity for themselves
to play on what have been regarded at
times as one of the finest sets of ten
mis- courts in and around Washington.
There is some talk that Mr.. Tumulty
will allow his friends among govern
ment attaches, who have played on
the courts in the past, to play there
again. Mr.. Tumulty preferring to take
his exercise in some spot more shell
tered from the public eye. Many Of
the young workers of Washington
have enjoyed the unofficial hospitality
of the White House grounds in this
respect in the past, and the privilege
of playing is missed this summer
The president and the members OF
his family have not used the tennis
courts this summer. The players are
plainly visible from the ratings which
surround the White House grounds
and the president and the members OF
his family have kept themselves in
retirement since the war began as
much as possible. An interesting
story is told of the recent visit of Mr.
Balfour to Washington, when he came
here to head the British war commits
sion. He challenged Mr.. McAdoo to 4
game of tennis and the secretary o.
the treasury accepted, suggesting th'
White House courts, but the game wal
afterward called off for fear that TIT
recreation, even in the name of neces
sary physical exercise, might be mis-
understood by onlookers.
