Fines to Go to Red Cross

Magistrate McQuade, in the Tombs
court, boosted the Red Cross drive yes
terday by advising twenty prisoners
found guilty of offences to which a
fine is attached, to step over to the de-
Cross collector, Miss FANNY V. Koenig,
daughter of Samuel S. Koenig
Instead of paying the f les, which
Magistrate McQuade had suspended. the
offenders paid the equivalent to Miss
Koenig. In this way S75 was raised.
Magistrate McQuade said he wished the
other magistrates of the city would
follow his example. Most of the pris-
oners who contributed had violated cor
porations ordinances, and the fines
ranged from So to SIS.

BicknelI Explains
the SEEMING Order

Because of certain misunderstand-
ings as to just what is permitted under
the recent proclamation of Governor
Alexander that permits the SEEMING of
certain kinds of fish, | desire to make
plain what my understanding of that
proclamation is and what is permitted
ard what is prohibited Hereunder
Permits will be issued by the state
game department for the SEEMING of
mullet or suckers, squaw fish, carp,
club, white fish, bull trout and perch
in non-game streams principally, but
before the issuance of such permits it
is necessary that a showing be made
that the streams in which the SEEMING
will be done are non-game streams.
mo permits are to be issued to
seine in any game fish streams of
tits state and where uncertainty ex-
lists concerning a stream being game
or non-game, application for a ruling
thereon should be made to the state
game warden's department
1.-THE game laws protecting game
fish remain the same as before the
issuance of the proclamation. accord
ing to my understanding. The procla-
nation will not interfere with the
aSihlls VI adililOl anu sun 6eOn III lhe
Snake river or any other streams
where seining operations may be car
ried on without danger to the game
fish therein.
mo permits will be issued for the
use Of trammel or gill nets and the
game department will not authorize
the use of a seine with a mesh smaller
than two inches.
ANY violation should be promptly
reported to the state game depart
ment"

the proclamation is attached to the
statement.

Leth Advises the
Planting of Corn

The following advice is given by
r. ]. Leth of the University Extension
department regarding the planting of
corn this year:
Corn is our foremost substitute for
wheat and we cannot afford to buy
our entire supply in the middle west.
Transportation difficulties and the
high prices both offer unusual induce
ments to the Gem State farmer to
grow this crop. We can raise a much
larger share of our own needs; a
thing very imperative for the proper
prosecution of the war. More corn is
especially urged upon the farmers liv-
ing in the counties of Washington,
Canyon, Ada Gilmore, Gooding, Lin
coin, Minidoka Cassia, and Twin Falls
in the south and parts of Latah and
Nez Perez in the north.
The transportation problem is at
present in an acute stage With added

shipments of troops and war supplies
in the months TO come the situation
cannot be expected to improve. Mr..
Hoover has asked ell communities to
become as nearly self sustaining as
possible in order to eliminate long
railway hauls Every bushel of corn
raised here will reduce transporta-
ton. 1t is needed to make us self
sustaining
The price of corn in Idaho is based
on the middle western price, plus the
freight. We will not produce enough
for our own needs for several years
to come. The Idaho grower has thus
an advantage over his middle western
competitor and can probably grow
corn under present prices. There are
no indications that The price will go
materially lower
Corn should be grown where c0ndi-
tons are right. We will not be justi
fled in growing corn on land that will
produce greater yield of wheat The
situation calls for the largest possible
number of bushels Of grain. Where
corn Will produce about as much grain
as wheat or where it will fill in the
time of the farmer to a better adj
vantage, some of it should by all
means, be grown. We want the great
est possible production of wheat and
corn together
Corn needs a moist firm, mellow
and warm seed bed. 1t should not be
planted until all danger of frost is
past. Once started it needs warm
weather, cultivation and a sufficient
supply of moisture. With average soil
and weather conditions, a good crop
can be matured in many parts of the
state.
The extension division of the Uni
versity of Idaho, at Boise. stands ready
to assist in every possible way Cues
lions on soil or methods of cultivation
will be gladly answered. They are al
so anxious to hear from men having
seed corn for sale and those desiring
to purchase seed. The Farm Markets
department, Boise. also maintains a
list Of men having en- corn for sale.

a pound The chicken had cost thirty
cents a pound, which made the cost
OF the meaty part forty-eight cents a
pound.
The meaty part of a larger chicken
-four or five pounds in weight-of-
ten costs ten cents less a pound than
the smaller one. 1t is real economy
then, to buy chicken of fairly good
weight, for the proportion of waste
is lessened as the size of the chicken
increases.
In other words not so much of your
money is buying bones, but more of
both white meat and dark meat, when
you choose the larger fowl.
What pound chicken do you usual
ly buy?
