Fifteen Years Ago

] The new road up Bear creek was
begun Monday. Martin Thomas
has large force of men under him
and it will take two or three months
to complete it. They are making
it wide enough for teams to pass
almost any place. There is consid-
cradle rock work to be done but
they are experienced rock workers
and will have no difficulty in COM
pleting this part of the road. 1t is
encouraging to know that at last
this road for which we have waited
so long is now in sight.
Andrew Hills team took little
run around the streets Tuesday af-
ternoon. 1t was only one Of their
periodic escapades and they did no
harm except to knock down the
city hydrant in front of A. C.
Whites drug store.

P. Callison attended the Nez Perce
county gun shoot at Lewiston Sat-
urday but carried away no prizes.
Joe Fruchtl is busy making brick
these days. This is probably the
last kiln he will burn in Kendrick
but he doesn't know where he will
move his plant yet.

Commissioners Offer Prizes

To stimulate to the maximum in
Nez Perce county the production of
staple foods this season the Board
of County Commissioners have de-
cided to offer nine prizes as follows:
Best acre of potatoes, first prize,
$500; second prize. $500; third
prize, $1,000.
Best 5 acres of beans, first prize,
$25.00; second prize, $500; third
prize, $1,000.
Best 5 acres of corn, first prize,
$25.00; second prize, $500; third
prize, $1,000.
1t is part of the plan to assemble
in Lewiston, probably at the time
of the annual stock show, exhibits
from each contestant as follows:
10 pounds of beans,
so pounds of potatoes,
l bushe of corn.
After the exhibit and the awarding
of the prizes it is the purpose Of
the Commissioners to auction the
exhibits and donate the entire pro-
ceeds to the Red Cross organization
to be used in their great work.
In the bean and potato contests
each contestant will be required to
furnish affidavits setting forth the
yield accurately of each tract. In
the corn contest the Lewiston Com
mercial Club has agreed to furnish
judges to visit and judge in the
field every tract of corn as to stand,
quality, etc. This will be quite
job but the Commercial Club gladly
undertakes it to further the plan.
The County Commissioners will
later name judges for the exhibit
when brought to Lewiston. The
results of the work of these judges
combined with the results of the
corn field judges and the affidavits
as to yield of the beans, potatoes
and corn. will form the basis of.the
final prize winners.
1t is the hope of the Commissions
ers that every section of the County
will enter heartily into the spirit of
this competition and that as a result
the yield of these staple products
will be largely increased in the
county.
Later full details will be announ-
ced which are to govern each con-
testant. For full particulars write
to the Clerk of the Board at Lew
iston.

Must Drag The Roads

County Commissioner John Woody
wishes to call attention to the fact
that the roads in Latah county must
be dragged this spring. If this
matter is attended to at the proper
time it will eliminate much of the
usual road work and will get the
roads in the best of condition at the
beginning of the season and will
give them hard, smooth surface
for the heavy hauling later on.
There is nothing that will do
more toward keeping the farming
communities in a f1ourishing condi-
tion than good roads. A little at
tention at the right time with a
road drag will do wonders toward
keeping the roads in good shape
both winter and summer. Every
farmer is individually responsible
for doing his share with drag.

Letter From Tom Long
Somewhere over there

was in town Saturday after
noon and had a good time but had
to take quite a hike to get train.
Jitnevs are scarce here as the gov

cars and gasoline is high and guess
pretty scarce.
We had a good meal in town,
consisting of two eggs, small
steak, French frie d spuds and bread; ;
also some light wine. The meal
cost us six francs each, which we
considered very reasonable.
The French are fine people but
their mode of living is certainly
different from ours and could be

The women are great dressers and
good many of them are certainly
good to look at.

Will Requisition Wheat

State food administrators have
been advised that they have the
power to requisition wheat that is
being huarded or held for higher
market. The matter is left entire
ly to the judgment of the food ad-
ministrators and they have been
notified that they have the authority
to act. This step has been taken in
order that wheat that is being held
may be taken over by the govern
ment to tide over the period of
shortage.

To Punish Tax Slackers

Daniel c. Roper, commissioner of
internal revenue, states that income
tax slackers will be prosecuted as
vigorously and relentlessly, under
the war revenue act, as draft slack
ers have been punished under the
selective service act. Revenue
officers in every section of the coun-
try are checking up returns with
view to beginning prosecutions
against those who fail to file their
income tax.

Reduction In Wheat Ration

Further reduction in the con-
sumption of wheat is asked of the
public by the food administration,
that the scant supplies available be-
fore the next harvest may be
stretched to meet the needs of the
army, domestic consumers and the
allies.
Everybody is requested to cut his
average ration of wheat by fifty
percent which would reduce the
total monthly consumption to 21,-
100000 bushels. That gives ra
tion of not more than ID pounds of
wheat products weekly for each
person. Flour sales will be cut to
one-eighth of barrel for town
customer and to one quarter of
barrel for any country customer
that retailers stocks may be dis.
tributed to as great a number as
possible.
The wheat content of bakers
bread will be reduced to rs percent
on April IA, which increases by 5
percent the amount of substitutes
that must be used.
AS the demand for wheat has
grown, the supplies in elevators
have dwindled. The usual flow of
grain to market also has decreased
in the last month from 100000
bushels weekly to 3,OOO,OOO, due,
it is declared, to the desire of
farmers to hold out their grain for
the higher price proposed in legis-
lation before Congress. Corn
growers have added to the confu-
sion by threatening that if the corn
price is not raised and fixed, as the
price of wheat has been fixed, they
would plant wheat instead Of corn,
which, officials declare, would work
untold loss in the meat supply.

Allied Lines Still Holding

According to reports last night
there is little change in the war
situation. Allies line is still in
tact. British wipe out Turkish
force and take 5000 prisoners.
French gain in counter thrust near
Noyon. Germans start drive in
Arras region, apparently aiming at
Dunkirk and Calais. A number of
German soldiers who had put on
British uniforms in order to create
confusion in the battle on the
Somme front, were taken prisoner
and executed, according to the
Intransigeant.

A. G. Wilson. as road overseer of
his district, is making a wonderful
improvement in the road near the
Davis place. Most of the road had
to be made through solid rock and
it has the appearance of being a
first class job. The grade is not
steep at any point and can be used
as link in the hard surfaced road
that will eventually be built from
Kendrick to the mouth of Cedar
Creek.

Inoculate Legumes

Cultures for the incubation of
alfalfa, sweet clover, red. alsike,
crimson, and white clovers, vetch,
beans, and field peas, may be secur-
ed for twenty cents per acre, by ap-
plying to the Department of Bac-
teriology, University of Idaho, Mos
COW. State the number of acres
you wish to inoculate and the kind
of legume you expect to plant.
When incubation is desirable:
l. If a soil is low in organic matter
and has not previously borne leg
luminous crops.
2. If legumes previously grown on
the same land were devoid of nod
ules.
8. If the legume to be sown belongs
to species not closely related to
one previously grown on the same
soil.
When incubation may prove ad-
vantageous: l. If the soil produces
a sickly growth of legumes, even
tho their roots show some nodules.
2. If a leguminous crop has made a
stand but gives evidence Of failure,
due to the absence of root nodules.
Under such conditions it is advis-
able to apply the culture by spray
ing or, better, by top-dressing the
land with soil moistened with the
culture.
When incubation is useless;
/. If the legumes usually grown
are producing average yields or the
roots show nodules in abundance.
2. If the soil is rich in nitrogen.
1t is neither necessary nor profitable
to inoculate soil rich in nitrogen
few nodules are formed under these
conditions.
Cultures of nitrogen-fxing bac-
terra are not to be regarded in the
light of nitrogenous fertilizers, in
creasing yields under. all average
conditions. The bacteria do not
contain nitrogen. If conditions are
favorable. they render nitrogen OBJ.
tanned from the air available for
the legume.
When incubation will be a fail
ure: /. If the directions are not
studied intelligently and followed
carefully.
2. If the soil is acid and in need Of
lime. Lining to correct acidity is
as important for the proper activity
of the bacteria as for the gr )wtf
of the plants.
3. If the soil needs fertilizers
such as potash, phosphoric acid, o.
lime. The activity of the bacteris
in securing nitrogen from the ali
and rendering it available to tn,
legumes will not take the place O.
such fertilizing elements as potasl
and phosphorus.
1t must be remembered that in
oculation will not overcome result
due to bad seed, improper prepara
tion and cultivation of ground, ant
decidedly adverse conditions o
weather or climate.

WORK Or FIGHT ORDER
NOT BLOW At LABOR
FORMAL STATEMENT BY
SECRETARY REFUTES
INTERPRETATION.

Washington, May 25.-Secretary
Baker today issued formal state
mcnt declaring that Provost Mar

fight regulations were promulgated
without any intention of affecting
to the least degree labor troubles.
He said il was not the intention OF
the war department to affect labor
by military regulations or in any
other way.
want to say in the most posi-
tive manner that this regulation has
norhing to do with labor. 1t is not
the intention of the department
through this or any other means to
affect labor by military regulations.
The sole purpose Of this order is to
guide exemption boards in their
duty to apply the provisions Of law
affecting occupation as the reason
for exemption and deferred classi-
ication."
They are purely military meas
uros, the secretary said. designed to
modify certain privileges in the way
of deferred classification now grant
ed some rcgistrants and are not in
tended as an indirect conscription OF
labor.
Replying to a question as to how
the regulations would affect work
men of draft age who strike, Mr..
Baker said why the regulations were
silent on that, il was not the war
departments intention to affect the
labor situation in any way through
this indirect method. He added
that the whole question OF the rela-
tion of the government to labor was
under the administration of the la
bor department. and that the war
had no intention of in
torvening.
That the regulations will affect
the labor situation was foreseen,
and this effect was point in favor
OF the regulations urged by their
civ ilian proponents. The shortage
now existing in some lines OF in
dustry, particularly the non-skilled
branches. is expected TO be 'nate-
rally relieved when the regulations
become effective. and men of draft
age now engaged in what the war
terms unnecessary lines
OF endeavor, turn to essential work.

TEXAS WHEAT CROP
AVERAGING 70 BUSHELS
EXPECT LONE STAR STATE
TO YIELD NINE MIL
LION BUSHELS.

Fort Worth. Texas, May 25.--Re-
ports of the wheat and oats harvest
received by Fort Worth grain and
cotton exchanges from scattered re-
gions in Wise, Denton and Cooke
counties. oil bordering on or near
the Red River. indicate that wheat
in those sections will average 20
bushels to the acre and oats about
40 bushels.
This is considered an optimistic
estimate of the yield in the rich bot
tom lands. On the basis OF these
reports and from other information
obtained by grain men an estimate
Ct the north Texas wheat crop is
placed at not exceeding 100000
bushels.
This does not include the Pan
handle territory, where weather CON
ditions have nor differed materially
from other parts of Texas, and
where al outside estimate of the
wheat crop is placed at about 5000
000 bushels.
These estimates place the total
wheat production in Texas this year
al not exceeding 100000 bushels.
The oats crop in all sections is
reported irl a fair to hourishing con-
dition and good results are expected.
Harvesting of grain in north Tex
as will re in full swing early in
June. Already it has been begun in
several sections attached TO the Fort
Worth territory. Every possible CT
fort is being made to obtain labor
for the harvest fields and with the
help OF many high school boys who
have enlisted for the service it Is
believed that the harvest will not be
delayed.
