FARM BUREAU NOTES
Threshermen and Gralngrowers
Meeting

MttttnS
At The request of the threshermen
of the county, Orson Wilson, Farm
Bureau committeeman on threshlng
has called a meeting of all thresher-
men and grain growers in the coun-
ty. The meeting is called for the
purpose of fixing the price to be paid
per bushel, and acquainting growers
with the requirements of the Food
Administrations policy for saving a
maximum amount of grain. All in
terested parties are erquested to be
at the court house in Shoshone, Sat
urday evening, August 3.
Wheat Growers Day
About 20 grain growers attend
ed the excursion, held at Jerome on
Tuesday. July 23rd. Eight farms
were visited and the Importance of
good seed and methods of growing
and irrigating the crop were discuss
ed by those present. 1t was the opin-
ion of all that the failure of grain
to fill was due to excessive hot wea-
ther at an early period of the growth
of the crop.
The need of better seed was
marked. In every field visited there
were at least three varities of wheat
growing. Mr.. Carl Irwin, of Twin
Falls, who has developed the best
type OF Dicklow wheat in the north
west. advised farmers to make a
practice of selecting ninety pounds
of good Dicklow heads from the field
each year for seed plot. This seed
grown the following year will pro-
duce a sufficient amount to plant
good acreage the succeeding year.
A good stand was secured in every
case where wheat followed potatoes.
The best stand observed was on the
farm of Geo. Hawbecker, where nine
ty pounds were planted. This field
was double drilled, forty-five pounds
being drilled each way.

Cease Whining"
Commander Tells
German Soldiers

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 21.-Every day now
some document or incident comes
to light showing either a weakening
of the morale in the German army
or the anxiety Of its leaders.
The latest is step to make the
soldiers cease whining when writing
letters to friends and relatives at
home, as it is considered by the Ger
man commanders to be bad for home
morale.
1t is a captured secret order issued
by the commander of the German
Second army. He states that spe-
cial examination of home-going mails
discloses a disregard for8 the army
postal regulations. Aside from dis
closing the exact location of units,
many of the soldiers have told of
successes of the enemy" The de-
ftrains by entente air

PARIS, Aug. 21.-That Emperor

200 Submarines
Sunk By Allies

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The naval
correspondent of the Sunday OBJ.
server points out that in addition to
the $50 submarines which Premier
Lloyd George recently declared the
British navy alone had sunk, that a
good proportion of the doubtful
cases" may be egarded as destroyed,
and that the number may be safely
raised to 200.
Another fifty have probably been
destroyed by French, italians and
Americans. To say that ESQ subma-
rines have been accounted for may
be regarded as a moderate estimate.
The crews Of the destroyed vessels
either are drowned or are prisoners,
and must number at least 5000.

General Byng
Sprung Great
Surprise On Huns
By J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert.

United Press War Expert.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Today's
attack by the British Third army
north of the Ancre is for the imme-
diate purpose Of driving in the Ger
man front between Albert and Arras,
and creating another dangerous sal
lent which will compel Won linden
burg to withdraw still farther east
ward.
General Byng, who commands the
new offensive, is the creator of the
tank shock tactics which have made
obsolete the long bombardments pre-
liminary to the infantry going over
the top. General Byng brought the
element of surprise back into mod
ern warfare. This is the first oppor-
tunity he has had to show his genius
as an offensive commander since he
broke the Hindenburg line at Cam
brai, at the end of the British cam
paign last autumn.
The sector along which General
Byng is attacking today is the near
est to the Hindenburg line of any
part fthe west front. The distance
varies from two to twenty miles. The
most important intermediate point in
Bapaume, about eight miles east of
the British front and ten miles west
of the Hindenburg line. The prin-
cipal high road and the railway run
ming into the German front between
Albert and Arras pass through Ba-
Paume. It's capture by the British
would tend to push the Germans back
to the Hindenburg line at point
where they would have to be supplied
from Cambria.
The association of General Byng's
nal aaiwith the British success at
Cafkorai Immediately suggests that
his present strategy has as its ulti-
mate objective the development of
a situation that may again bring
Cambria into the area of actual COM
bat. The situation contains highly
dramatic possibilities, while it is GER
tain to disarrange still further Won
Hindenburg's essential plans for the
building up of a new reserve army.

ties encountered in developing the ma

presented today to the senate in wide
ly different aspects through majority
and minority reports on military com.
mittee's protracted investigation of
the subject.
The majority, through Senator
Chamberlain OF Oregon. chairman, de-
clared the entire aviation situation
gravely disappointing, charged gov
ernment officials responsible for the
program with misleading the public
with over-optimistic statements and
urgently recommended that control
be taken from the army signal corps
and placed in the hands of a single
executive officer appointed by the
president. This report is understood
to have been adopted by a vote OF
eight TO six in committee.

the record OF the signal corps is one
OF which every American can be justly
