MONEY IN LARGE
CROPS THIS YEAR

There appears to be world wide
demand for food stuffs. Prices for
all staple crops are high and promise
to continue above the average level
for year or more. The promise Of
profits from growing farm products
was never stronger than at present.
The worlds needs and the possible
profits, together, should stimulate
farming to their best effort in pro-
duction. No. chances that can be a.
voided should be taken on securing
good crops.
The first of the safeguards is good
seed. Only carefully cleaned seed of
strong terminating qualities should
be sown. The grains should be given
the formaldehyde treatment for
smuts, seed potatoes should be care
fully selected and treated for scab
and other diseases, seed corn ought
to be tested, pure grass seed sown,
and every precaution taken to avoid
failure to get a stand.
Careful preparation of the land is
a second safeguard. Every poor seed
sown in a favorable seed bed may
succeed. The best of seed sown in
poorly drained, poorly prepared,
cold and sour seed bed cannot give
results. The depth to SOW, the COW
ering of the seed, the texture of the
soil, and moisture CONTROL are i'm
portant details in getting stand
with each crop. Clean culture and
attention to insect pests and plant
diseases are important in securing
vigorous growth from the cultivated
crops.
When the crops are mature they
must be promptly harvested and
stored. This involves good shocking,
early threshing or good stacking, and
storing the grain or other product
iii suitable quarters. Loss of quality
of grain in poorly built grain shocks
and stacks, and from heating in
storage" is very common but inexcus-
able nevertheless. 1t should not be
allowed to occur this year when the
world needs food.-Andrew Boss.

MONICK GETS TURNED DOWN
Latah County Charge Against This
F0rger Has Not Yet Been Settled
or Dismissed

communication from ]. J. Smith, war
den of the Folsom penitentiary in

Leopold Monick who was convicted in
this county of forging a check on Fa-
ther Pecoul.
Warden Smith writes that MonicE,
who was sent to the California peni-
tentiary for three years for forgery in
Los Angeles, will be eligible to pa
role in May. He says he is informed
that the case against Monick in this
county was settled and he asks that
the charge against him be dismissed.
Sheriff Campbell wrote back that
the Latah county case was not settled
and that he would be after the man
just as soon as his California term

WILL OPPOSE FREIGHT INCREASE
Iumber Dealers of the Coast Protest
Vigorously Against Demands OF
the Railroads

PORTLAND - A determined fight
against the petition of the railroads
for a fiat increase of Is per cent on
both class and commodity rates. The
directors and traffic committee were
authorized to appear before the inter
state commerce committee to oppose
the move of the railroads.
The lumbermen contend that the
Adamson law, on which the railroads
base their claim, will not increase
the operating costs of American rail-
roads S67,O0O,000 annually, as the
roads allege. They say that the in
creased operating costs will not be
over s4,OOO0OO or $5,OOO,0O0. The
Iumbermen also contend that this is
not the logical time for the increase
in lumber rates, as the industry can
not stand it.

COMMITTEE SUBMITS QUESTION
TO REFERENDUM VOTE OF
COMMUNITY

G. w. Suppiger, Prof. H. L. Axtell
ter from the Chamber of Commerce,
are calling upon the business and pro-
fessional men of Moscow today to as
certain their wishes in the proposed
plan for changing the time of day.
This committee is presenting three
definite propositions to the citizens:
/. To move the hands of the clock
ahead one hour and regulate all bust
ness and all work in the city by this
new standard.
2. Leave the hands of the clock as
they are, but have all business men
enter into an agreement to begin and
close one hour earlier during the sum
mer months.
g. Make no change whatever and
leave every man and every business
house free to regulate his own opening
and closing.
In the hurry of reporting the actions
of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
afternoon the mistake was made of
saying that the Chamber of Commerce
would await the report of the commit
tee-Suppiger, Hagan and Axtell. The
fact is the Chamber of Commerce voted
to stand by the new" time until the
committee had made its investigation.
This afternoon it is indicated that

and definite expression as to what the
people favor This will be accepted as
a referendum and the Chamber OF
Commerce and all others will be gov
erned by it.

speaking of his work, when the pres

men to make up the first line of ma
tionaI defense it should be considered
a privilege to get to the front in this
way"

month. A private may go as high as
