better record Of war time efficiency.

Our profits are limited by the
Food Administrator to 9 per cent

FARM BUREAU ORGANIZED
TO SECURE FARM HELP

Nels Halgeson. proprietor of the
Orofino Hotel, has been chosen by
the Executive Committee of the
Farm Bureau as Orofino represen-
tative of the Farm Bureau labor
committee. Mr.. Halgeson will keep
list of farmers needing help and
of men looking for jobs. Should
the applications for help exceed the
supply of men available. the Farm
Bureau will send away for men.
Farmers needing help should noti-
fly Mr.. Halgeson as far in advance
of their actual need as possible.
The committee also took action
looking to the formation of a Clear
water County Livestock Association
for the purchase of thoroughbred
animals, for the sale of stock and
for the general promotion of the
livestock industry.
MI. H. B. Kjossness or Moscow
gave an excellent talk on the need
of the FarmBureau from the stand
point both of the Government and
the farmer. He ably outlined the
necessity of having County Farm
Agent He announced that F. l.
Rockwell had been called to Bene-
wah county by the Farm Bureau
and the County Commissioners of
that county, but that the State Ex-
tension Service would leave him in
this county if the county wished
to make provision to pay his ex-
penses The Committee voted to re-
tain Mr.. Rockwell, if possible, and
to try and provide his expenses.
Full mention of the proceedings
will be given in the succeeding is
sue o. the Farm Bureau News.
Later-As the Republican goes
to press it learns that Mr. Rockwell
has been ordered to report at St
Maries to serve as Farm Agent.

CLOVER MITE" DISCOVERED
IN OROF|NO ORCHARDS.

T. J. LaForest, horticultural in
spector for this part of Idaho. has
discovered new pest for this sec
ton, and the following letter will
explain it's nature:
Moscow, Idaho. May IA. T. j.
LaForest, Orofino, Idaho: In reply
to your letter of recent date l wish
to inform you that l have examined
the twigs which you sent in and
find they are infested with the
"brown mite" also called the "clo-
yer mite" These mites work on
the clover, but often swarm over
the foliage of ach. plum, apple.
pear, cherry and other tree fruits.
They have mouth parts fitted for
piercing the tissues and badly in
tested foliage assumes a blanched,
yellowish. sickly appearance This
mite can be most effectively and
easily controlled by thoroughly
spraying the alternating eggs in
fall, winter, or early spring with
lime-sulphur at the strength usual
ly used against scale, or ten per
cent kerosene emulsion. The mites
can be killed on the foliage with
whale oil soap solution. l pound in
10 gallons of water, or by busting
with sulphur and hydrated lime.
Black Leaf 40 has also been recon-
mended as an efficient spray for de-
stroying the young mites on the
leaves.
The Colorado Agricultural Col
lege has also reported good results
in killing mites by using 10 pounds
of sulphur to SO gallons of water.
| believe these mites can be held
in check if the proper materials are
used.

REV. HARP ARRESTED FOR
O|sLOyAL ATTITUDE.

The Rev. Mr.. Jas. Harp was in
dited by the U. S, grand jury at
Moscow this week, and a warrant
issued for his arrest Wednesday
Mark Howe, deputy U. S. marshal,
came to Orotino, arrested Mr.. Harp
by phone, arranged for him to
come to 0rofino at once, and de-
parted with his prisoner this morn
ing. Harp seems to think he Is a
privileged character; that his little
opinions and beliefs are OF so much
greater Importance than the win
ming of the war for Righteousness,
or the saving of the world for dem
ocracy, that he is terribly outraged
and abused when asked to retract a
lie that is positively disloyal and
damaging. He was in Orotino Sat
urday and almost ready TO fight be-
cause the council of defense had
asked the local papers not publish
a statement from Mr.. Harp in de-
fense of his previous disloyal state
ments. E. A. Patterson of Tea
kean. who was one of the first to
report Rev Harp for disloyalty to
the council of defense, and who
later wanted the case dropped and
Harp whitewashed to resemble a
real patriot accompanied Rev.
Harp to Oro6no and went from
here to MOSCOW. presumably to pro-
vide a bond.
If Harp were as loyal as he
would have people believe it would
hardly be necessary to demand a
retraction of false and altogether
untruthful statement. that aids the
enemy of his country. That much
the Republican is sure, and the at
titude of Rev Harp is anything
but that of loyal citizen of the
United States.
