How to Can by the One-periOd Cold
Pack Method.

Don't let valuable surplus fruits and
vegetables go to waste. Adults and
children in a very few hours, with
little other home equipment than a
wash boiler and cans and jars. can
preserve much valuable perishable
food for next winters use. Succulent
vegetables and fruits are important
to health the year round. See that
your table is supplied.
The simple One-period cold-pack
method described is that taught by the
L. 5. department of agriculture for the
boys and girls of the canning clubs in
the northern and western states. With
this method thousands of boys and
girls each season put up vast quaint
ties of fruits and vegetables. With
this method practically every vege-
table and fruit grown in this section
can be canned
The wash-boiler method described
below is entirely effective Those who
desire may purchase Homestead water
seal, steam pressure or pressure cook

HOOVER DENIES CHARGES.
Not Attempting to Secure Low Price
for Wheat, He Says.

The food administration Saturday
denied reports that Herbert Hoover is
attempting to influence the price-fix-
ing committee headed by DR.. II. A.
Garfield, to put a price of s1.65 on the
|. 1917 crop of wheat, and gave out copies
"a telegram sent by Mr.. Hoover to
Forth Dakota newspaper, which de-
ySared the food administrator was Of
fering no suggestions as to price.
Mr. Hoover's telegram was in reply
to one from Representative Young of
North Dakota, which concluded:
Anything we get above s1.65
bnshel will be on account of clenched
fists shaken in the faces of Garfield
and Hoover"
Mr. Hoover's message declared the
farming interests have a majority rep
resentation on the price-fxing com
mittee and that its membership is
made Hp of men in whom the whole
country has confidence.
MY duty is simply to see," said
Mr.. Hoover, that the farmer receives
a fair price, whatever that may be, and
to see that the consumer obtains his
bread without speculative profits in
between the farmer and the consumer,
which we're maintained over the first
half of this year. l assume that the
farmer no more wants to bleed the
consumer by obtaining more than a
fair price, than he wants to be bled by
the producers of food and other COM
modities who also are being asked to
maintain fair prices"
The Garfield committee, it is under
stood, will be ready to recommend a
price by the middle of next week. Ru-
NOR puts this price at slightly more
than 81.
Government regulations of wheat
prices was briefly discussed in the
senate. Senator Gronna of North Da-
kota declared that the food bill has
had a ruinous effect upon the grain
production and instead of stimulating
has restricted it,
Senators Brady and Newlands urged
members not to be hasty in their criti-
cism of the food administration. Sen
ator Gronna, in reply, protested against
the government taking over control of
the 1917 wheat crop.
The farmers of North Dakota and
neighboring states have been urging
that gambling and speculation in
wheat be stopped and now that it has
been, they are not satisfied" intehup-
ted Senator Nelson of Minnesota.
A telegram from farmers in Mon
tana urging that unless the govern
ment fixes a price of $3.50 a bushel for
wheat the result will be ruinous for
them was read by Senator Myers.

NO TINE TO PLACE ADDED
BURDENS ON INDUSTRY

The state board of equalization is
meeting for the purpose of a readjust-
ment of valuations.
AS a reason for this move the board
says it has been necessitated by the
present war crisis revolutionizing
property and business conditions in
the state
This is becoming a time worn phase
and the public looks on it with sus-
picion. Generally speaking business
in the state has increased. Agricul-
tural lands have been improved. min
ing, timber and other industries have
been developed, all of which in the
natural course of events should give
an increased tax roll.
In many lines both agricultural and
Industrial. present war prices have
created abnormal values and the
board should tread lightly before con-
sidering increased valuations due TO
such conditions.
At this critical time, as a patriotic
duty and as an inducement to indus
trial development along all lines in
the state, which the nation so sorely
needs, the board should bend its every
effort toward holding down taxation
and excessive valuations which frigh-
IN capital and retard development.
Radical action on matters which so
seriously affect Idaho's future should
not be considered and the boards ac-
tions should be closely scrutinized.-

EXERCISES STRICT
CONTROL OVER EXPORTS

President Wilson Monday issued
proclamation which gives the govern
ment control over every possible com
modify exported from the United
States. 1t is the most drastic step for
economy control taken by any nation
during the war. The president in
statement accompanying the procla-
nation insists that he aims at control
and not at the actual stoppage of ex
ports. But the manner in which the
proclamation is divided makes its pur-
pose certain.
All articles of commerce must be Ii
censed for export to enemy countries
and the countries of the European neu-
trails. This will give the United States
for the first time control over certain
munitions and money sent to the neu
trails.
The list of commodities for which
license is required for exports to the
rest of the world is widely extended.
This" says the president. is for
the protection OF our own needs"
The presidents proclamation was
accompanied by an explanation in
which he detailed the difference be-
tween the divisions established in
nalAlll- the AOAiLllA0AAlEH A0AA4AAAe = AlAAIA
the ruling.
The purpose and effect Of this
proclamation is not export prohibi
ton. but merely export control, the
president states. 1T is not the inten-
tion to interfere unnecessarily with
our foreign trade; but our own dOmes
tic needs must be adequately safe
guarded and there is the added duty
of meeting the necessities Of all the
nations at war with the imperial Ger
man government. After these needs
are met, it is our wish and intention
to administer TO the needs of the neu-
tral nations as far as our resources
permit. This task will be discharged
without other than the very proper
qualification that the liberation of our
surplus products shall not be made
the occasion of benefit TO the enemy,
either directly or indirectly.

SEED FOR 1915.


Now is the time to select seed for
the 1918 seeding. To manv. sncb a
word of advice may seem hurried. but
Tor the sake of quality and the preven-
ton OF a reoccurance Of a seed short
age such as experienced this year, it
is timely.
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 total failure
We must make allowances for another
severe and adverse winter The need
for the best possible seed grain OBJ
tainable is apparent Those fields of
grain that are freest from mixtures
and smut with good yields of good
quality grain should be saved in total
for seed instead of being milled. This
field selection and reservation would
mean much for grain improvement and
insure Idaho a proper seed stock for
spring sowing
The grass seed situation parallels
that of the grain. A large acreage of
alfalfa and clover was killed by ad-
verse winter conditions. Again. the
prevailing high prices for hay caused
by the shortage, and the necessity of
including legume crops in rotation.
Will mean that much alfalfa and Glow
er seed must be sown in 1918.
Representatives of large eastern
seed firms have been through the seed
areas of the state locating the best
seed fields and contracting same for
their respective houses. The farmer
who expects TO SOW grass seed, can
we'll afford to select the seed from the
cleanest field in the community. and
buy it at once. The retail price next
spring will be higher than the pre-
vailing prices of this season.
Seed growers can greatly improve
the quality of seed produced, and. in
consequence, increase its value by
wedding, from the growing fields. those
weeds that will condemn the seed for
sale in Idaho. The noxious weeds
most commonly distributed are buck
horn. all kinds of dodder and mustard
If certain areas of the field contain
these weeds, it is a good plan to cut
NAAN III ~Sh lACsC areas
any noXious weers are overlooked in
wedding. they should be forked to one
side when moving and punching.
Separate these lunches from the rest
OF the crop before hulling.
All seed growers should take a
small sample of seed from each sack
OF the entire lot, mix thoroughly and
send not less than one quarter pound
to the state laboratory. Boise, Idaho
for purity test. The grower then
knows exactly what he has to sell or
SOW. Farmers who wish to purchase
seed, can well afford to submit
sample to learn of its quality. This
work is done free for the farmer

GRAIN BUYERS STUDY
GOVERNMENT RFGTL ATIONS
Preparing TO Handle Wheat CrOp In
der Regulations Prescribed bv nj.
rector Hoover, Food Controller.

American Falls grain dealers ara
carefully studying the documents sent
out by Director Hoover, in charge Of
the food conservation movements. with
a view to strictly conforming to them.
The regulations provide for practically
every emergency, and leave nothing
for dealers except a strict compli-
ance. The grades established by the
government include purity as well as
weight, and as the government will
grade all shipments it is incumbent
upon the dealers to adopt the govern
ment standards
Bulk deliveries are to be ENCOURAGED
by the dealers for the reason that the
government will demand bulk ship
ments. The old quotation Of five cents
above bulk prices will be paid for
sacked grain but a deduction of one
pound for each sack will be made for
the reason that the government will
not pay for sacks.
Graders of the kind adopted bv the
government have been installed bv all
dealers, and for the first time since
American Falls became a shipping
point, dealers will adhere to the same
standard OF purity and weight AS
soon as the price is announced. and
all conditions surrounding the pur-
chase and storage of grain made
known the dealers will begin a cam
palgn 70 acquaint their patrons with
the regulations and standards. and in
Vite their cooperation in putting them
into effect.

NARKSMANSHIP NOT
ENTIRELY 4 LOST ART

Convinced that craftsmanship
with the rifle is not altogeth-
manship with the rifle is not altogeth-
er a lost art. even if it has been some
what neglected in these latter days Of
war, the commanders of the American
forces now preparing in France for
the battle front are giving the men
thorough course of instruction in the
school of rifle fire. 1t always has been
a tradition among European armies
that the United States had the finest
shooting army in the world. no matter
what might be its shortcomings in
other respects. This tradition the
new American army hopes TO fulfill,
and there is a general belief among
the officers Of the eXpeditiOnary forces
that the time will come when rifle ire
may be of the utmost importance.
The old regular British army. which
virtually was annihilated in the first
six months of the war. also was a fine
shooting army and its ability with the
rifle cost the Germans dearly on many
occasions.
Ever since the battle of the Somme,
more than a year ago, there has been
a tendency among the armies to regard
onet or as a tirearm simply for sniping.
Advancing infantrymen have been
taught to rely first of all on the pro
lection of an artillery barrage, which
moves fifty yards or so in front of
them and is supposed 10 be of suffi-
cient intensity to keep any machine
gunners we'll below ground until the
assaulting waves are right upon them.
Once in or near the enemy positions.
intantrymen have used bombs and bay
Onets alone with seldom a rifle shot
heard. In other words, artillery bar
ranges laid by guns far in the rear,
have had the effect of bringing infan-
try fighting to quick hand-to-hand en-
counters, which the technique of mod
ern war had discarded as obsolete un-
til year ago. These barrages have
double purpose, acting as a shield
of protection and also concealing the
attacking waves until the stOrming
troops are right up to the enemy's
dugOuts and trench shelters
There now is feeling. however, that
these tactics in an attack may not al
ways endure and that rifle fire again
will come into its own Even the Ger
mans are adopting this modification Of
tactics, according to prisoners, who
say that their more recent training
calls for much time at rifle practice
and each soldier must remain before
the target until he makes a satisfac-
tory score. Both rifle practice and
machine gun work appeal to the Amer
lean soldiers.

coarse wire netting for your clean
wash boiler or other large, deep yes
sci TO be used for sterilizing.
Fill the vessel with clean water so
that the boiling water will cover the
tops Of the jars or cans. Begin heat
ing the water so that it will be boil
ing violently by the time the contain
ers are packed.
See that all cans or jars are in good
condition and absolutely clean. Scald
them thoroughly. Use new rubber
rings and scald them just before put
ting them on the jars.
Preparing Fruits and Vegetables.
Start with clean hands, clean uten-
sils and clean, sound, fresh products.
Throw out all vegetables and fruits
which are withered or unsound Wash
out all grit and dirt If possible use
only fruits and vegetables picked the
same day and never can peas and corn
picked more than five hours.
Prepare fruits and large-sized vege-
tables for blanching. Remove all spots
from apples.
Prepare beans and greens as for
cooking. Be especially careful TO re-
move all foreign plants from the
greens.
Blanch vegetables and all fruits ex-
cept berries by leaving them from 3
to ) minutes in clean boiling water.
Remove the blanched products from
the boiling water and plunge them
quickly into cold water. the colder the
better. Take them out Immediately
and let them drain. Don't let them
soak in the cold water
From this point on speed is highly
important The blanched vegetables
and fruits which are slightly warm,
must not be allowed to remain out of
the jars a moment longer than is
necessary.
Remove skins when required and as
each article is pared cut it UP into
proper size and pack directly into the
clean. scalded cans or jars.
Pack as solid a IS possible, being care
full not to bruise or mash soft products
In the case of fruit. fill the con-
tainers at once with boiling hot syrup
In the case of vegetables, nil the
containers with boiling hot water tc
which a little salt has been added.
Place scalded rubber rings on the
glass jars and screw down the tops.
Seal tin cans completely. Watch
them for leaks. AS the preliminary
treatment has taken care of expansion
