BARLEY CROP IS
THE L|GHTEST EVER
LEWISTON REPORTS HARVEST
WORK GOING ON RAPIDLY
CROP is LIGHT

LEWISTON.-Far in all Sec
tions of the central Idaho region are
now rushing their harvest operations
and the activities in the harvest fields
is materially curtailing the deliveries
at the warehouses and keeping the
farmers away from the markets.
). ID. Roberts of the Pacific Grain
company returned yesterday from the
prairie country. Mr.. Roberts esti-
mates the harvest of the fall grain
on the prairies and the harvesting of
the spring crop has not commenced in
some sections. In some localities the
spring crop is still green and it is not
expected the harvest will be completed
before the end of September.
The rains of week ago have dam
aged the crops to some extent, but
the full extent of this damage can
not be determined until the grain is
delivered at the warehouses. 1t is es-
timated, however, the damage from
rain will not be serious.
Reports from the Waha, Webb
ridge and Mccormick ridges are to
the effect the harvest will not be con-
Guided in those localities for about
two weeks.
The barley crop will be the lightest
produced in the Lewiston region for
many years, one estimate being the
barley production will not exceed 10
percent of the normal crop. The
Lewiston price of barley at the pres
ent time is $3.50 per hundred, but
there has been but little selling.
The yield OF. barley per acre is the
ightest for many years, this condi-
ton being due to the drought and ex-
IRENE heat. The barley acreage is
also much below normal, the farmers
generally being urged to seed wheat
where conditions were favorable for
the production of wheat crop. 1t
seems the barley crop was in a con-
dition beyond help by the rains of
early summer while some of the later
seeded spring wheat was materially
benefited. This is especially true of |
the prairie sections, and if favorable |
harvest weather prevails the farmers
will secure good yields of spring
wheat where a few weeks ago it was
estimated the crop would not be worth .

DEMONSTRATION
II is SLOW THERE

KELLOGG Registration of voters
for the primary elections on September
3 is now in full swing, with decided
Iethargy shown by the voters in getting
their names on the registration books
Under the new Idaho election law no
one can vote who is not properly reg
istered, and no votes can be sworn in
at the polls as heretofore. The transfer
Of voters from one precinct to another
has also been abolished and voters must
find their names on the books OF the
precinct in which they reside.
With the arrival of d. W. Davis, re-
publican aspirant for the governorship,
and Z. A. Van Sicklen, democratic can
didate in the Occur d'Alenes, some ac-
tivitv has been noticed among the local
organizations and for the next week
some active campaigning will result.
Democrats Divided.
Democrats in the county appear d1-
vided between Frank Martin of Boise,
backed by the Jeffersonial club and
claiming to be the real wing of the dem
ocratic party, and Mr. Van Sicklen, who
is counted on the Day-Hawley side OF
the split. The democratic county organ
ization of Shoshone county has adopted
resolutions favoring Van Sicklen and
denouncing the candidacy of Martin.
On the republican side D. w. DAVIS
appears a strong favorite with Shoshonee
county voters, being the best known OF
the candidates.
The candidacy of Bartlett Sinclair for
the lieutenant governorship is meeting
with marked approval over the state,
and assurances reaching here are to the
effect that he will receive the nomina-

Harvest operations were resumed
in this section last Friday and ranch

was brought to the warehouses a

RIVAL CANDIDATES MAKE
CLAIMS Of SURE VICTORY

Frank Martin, democratic candidate
for the nomination for governor O.
Idaho, has completed a tour of nortl
Idaho and has left by way of Butte
for southeast Idaho, where he viii
finish the campaign.
81 have found that my candidacy
has been we'll received" Mr.. Martin
said. 81 will receive more votes in
the 10 northern counties than either
H. f. Samuels, nonpartizan, or E. A
Van Sicklin, democrat, who are OPP
posing me. | will now go to st. An
thony, where my friends have ar
ranged meeting for me Saturday
night that will draw from several
counties. That will be practically the
close of the campaign"
Days Support Van Sicklin.
Mr.. Martin represents the element
called "the statehouse' crowd by the
other wing of the democrats, who are
supporting Van Sicklin. 1t is said
that in an effort to eliminate Van
Sicklin or Martin a committee was
formed which invited the two men to
submit their claims for the nomina-
ton and to agree to abide by the de-
cision. The scheme didn't take well
for the reason that Martin was
member of that committee and the
Van Sicklin people declined to con-
slider it, Van Sicklin is being urged
in the north by the element of the
party headed by the Day family, mi
ming men. Harry L. Day has issued
an appeal for the support of Van
Sicklin.
Samuels Closes Campaign.
81 have finished complete tour of
the state and am going home to wait
for the returns" H. F. Samuels, nom
partizan league candidate for gov
ernor of Idaho, said last night. '"There
is nothing to it but success for the
league. Our ticket will all be nomi-
mated without "a doubt.
eve figure on the basis of 100000
votes in the state two years ago. 1t
is not reasonable to suppose there
will be as large vote this year as
in a presidential election. Besides |
there have been a large number of |
voters left the state and the vote will |
not be nearly as large as two years
ago."
Predicts Nonpartizan Victory
Asked for figures on which to base
his prediction for nonpartiaan sue
cess at the primaries next Tuesday,
Mr. Samuels said:
eve have 10000 members in the
state. They will all vote. Counting
their wives, who will vote, we have
another 10000, or 10000. Then, too,
each member will have a son or a
hired man who will vote, thus giving
another 10000. On top of this we
will have 10000 votes from organized
abor, or 10000 votes in all. This
lumber will elect the ticket without
loubt.
81 will get big vote in my home
county, Bonner, and | will break even
n Shoshone county, where the miners
md laborers will give me good sup
,ort. Harry Day is supporting Van
Sicklin there and should give him a
majority, but my friends tell me
will get my share. Besides, it is rea-
onabe to suppose that we will get
ONE votes from the neutrals. All to- ]
either | can see no chance for US to
ose in the primaries. When it comes r
o the election l predict that our
icket will win without trouble"
Mr.. Samuels has just completed a T
our of south Idaho and will finish
he campaign with speech at Priest
liver tonight.

Here was territory almost twice the
size of the German empire and with
considerably more than half it's pop
ulation, ripe for exploitation. 1t pro-
vided many of the resources which
Germany lacked-timber, hides and
wool from Finland and the Baltic prov
inces and minerals and grain from the
districts farther south. 1t provided
millions of people industrially far
Tess advanced than those of Germany,
who would have to exchange their raw
products for German manufactured
goods on GermanyS terms, who could
be denied political rights and forced
to do the heavy work while the Ger
mans took the cream of the profits.
Industrial Germany even under So
cialist government will not give up
such spoils unless it is compelled to.
Must Break German Grip.
1t is plain therefore that the United
States and her associates not only
should be most watchful that Germany
gives up every shred of political con-
troll over these Russian lands, but that
she is not allowed to build up COM
mercial control which will in the end
amount to the same thing.
Whatever the territorial settlement
may be Russia and the states formed
from the territory of what was Russia
must be helped and guided for a long
time after the peace treaty is signed.
This help and guidance cannot be
given by individual states without
arousing suspicion that self interest is
the principal motive. league of ma
tions composed of the civilized demo
cratic states of the world and backed
by their united military police power,
would, however, be in a position to fur
nish such help and guidance without
arousing jeal0usies.
Unless the newly created states have
such protection the future may show
that predatory Germany won the world
war even after suffering military de-
feat.

POTATOES CRY FOR POTASH

Phoma stem blight is the name of
the new disease which has created so
much trouble in the big potato-grow-
ing sections during the past summer.
Growers have become greatly alarmed
and have appealed to Washington for
aid.
The specialists, however, do not
think the disease will be serious, nor
do they think that it will be hard to
control. 1t seems that it appears only
under exceptional conditions of wealth,
er and malnutrition.
The department officials are inclined
to lay the major portion of the blame
on unbalanced fertilizer-that is,
using fertilizer lacking potash. They
claim that this disease will disappear
on remedying the condition of malnu-
triton and recommend that next year
a fertilizer containing as high as 3
per cent potash be applied. Fortu-
nately American sources of supply can
now furnish this food in sufficient
quantities.

CONSERVATION OF LABOR

In years past we in America have
been prodigal in all things. We have
been careless with our natural re-
sources, we have drawn relentlessly
on the fertility of our soils, and we
have frequently shown poor judgment
in the utilization of the one item which
is more costly in America than any
where else in the world-the item of
labor. Being Americans we did what
we pleased and when we pleased, re-
CARELESS.
For concrete example let us con-
slider the annual distribution of labor
in the fertilizer factories of the coun-
try. In March and April twice as
many men were employed as in the
months of November and December
Why? Simply because the vast ma
jority of orders were filled in March
and shipments were nearly all de-
manded in March or April.
The same unequal distribution OF Ia
Dor prevailed among the farmers to
whom the fertilizer industry sold it's
goods. During November and Deem
Der farmers and their labor had as lit
tie to do as at any time of the year,
and in March and April they were as
busy as bees. Taking day or two
from blowing or sowing in order to
haul fertilizer was as painful as pull
ing teeth. Yet that was exactly when
the hauling was done.
Why was not the fertilizer ordered
in November and hauled home in De-
cember or January? The manufactures
would have welcomed the orders and
he could and would have given them
better attention; roads were usually
better for hauling in winter than in
early spring, and there would have
been none of this delay at the all-lm-
portant time of seeding.
1t would have been so easy to have
gained this better distribution of Ia
Dor and saved so much for both par
ties. But it took a big war and a, ter
rife shortage of labor to make us real
ize that early orders and early ship
ments were much more satisfactory,
far less costly, and not productive OF
the anxious delays so common under
the old system.

NO.2
The Problem of Russia
Rv CLARENCE 7, SPEED
The Problem of Russia


written for and Approved by the War
Committee of the Union League Clup OF
Chicago.)
Russia, that great enigma. Of the
war, likewise presents probably the
greatest of the peace problems.
Is the Russian experiment in SELF
government a failure? Have the ac-
tons of the Russian people proven
that the principle of self-determina-
ton cannot safely be applied? Should
Russia be coerced or helped back into
a position where she can again become
one of the greatest in the family OF
nations, or should she be split up into
numerous independent states?
All of these are questions which,
considering the insufficient informa-
ton at hand on which to base our con-
illusions, permit of wide differences or
opinion. But one thing is certain.
RUSSIA MUST NOT REMAIN UN-
DER THE CONTROL OF GERMANY
IN A POLITICAL, MILITARY OR
ECONOMIC SENSE.
Germans Strong in Russia.
The word remain" is used advised
ly. The greater part of Russia was,
at the time the war came to it's ORA
matte close, under the heel Of Ger
many. Whole districts, such as Fin
land, the Baltic provinces, Russian
Poland and the Ukraine were under oil.
rect German control. German and
Austrian prisoners of war were fight
ing against the allies and the Czecho-
Slovaks in Siberia.
The armistice terms which the Ger
| mans were forced to sign provided
that the treaty of Brest-Litovsk and
the supplementary treaties by which
Russia was despoiled should be abro-
gated. They likewise originally pro-
vided that all invaded territory ON the
east front as. well as that on the west
should be evacuated within IA days.
This was the first provision of the
armistice terms at which the Ger
man delegates protested. They asked
for more time and they got it. The
armistice as finally signed provided
that the east front territory should be
evacuation at some indefinite time to
be decided on later by the allies.
Want to Keep Control.
The significance OF this may be
merely that the disorder in Russia was
so great that the allies thought Ger
man control for time was better than
none. Again it is possible-even
highly probable-that the German del
egates hoped by this means to let Ger
man occupation drag on into the Pc
riod of peace negotiations, thinking
thereby TO retain something of what
they have gained from Russia.
Knowing as we do that Germany
must depend upon outside territory
for raw materials and markets for her
manufactured wares we may well look
with suspicion on delay in the evacua-
ton of the Russian provinces. If they
need policing the allies should pro-
coed to police them at the earliest pos
sible moment-and police them with
out any German assistance.
What the Germans Held.
In the summer of 1918 when the
German armies were laundering on
toward Paris and the kaiser and his
Austrian ally were counting on speedy
victory, the portions of the former
Russian empire which had come under
direct Teutonic control, with their
area and populations, were:
