DEAN IDDINGS TELLS OF CROP
AND LABOR CONDITIONS
IN IDAHO

Dean E. J. Iddings, head of the
agricultural college of the University
of Idaho, and of the experiment and
extension work of the state, has just
returned from an extended tour of
this and adjoining states, having left
here on June 9. He has been travel
ing almost steadily for nearly a
month and has visited every agricul-
tural district in the state and portions
of Oregon and Montana.
Dean Iddings' first stop was at the
east Oregon experiment station at
Baker, where he spent some time in
specting the station and comparing
the work done there with that in
Idaho. He then visited the expert
ment stations of Idaho at Alto, Je-
rome, Aberdeen and Standpoint, and
the new high altitude station at Felt,
and also visited the Montana agricu1-
tural college at Bozeman, Montana.
During his trip Dean Iddings at
tended agricultural meetings in II
counties, called upon the county
agents in all of these and made a
minute investigation of the work be-
ing done, crop conditions and labor
problems Of all sections. He also
spent some time scouting" after stu
dents ard reports the prospects for
a large enrolment at the university
next fall as very bright.
Extension Workers Busy
''The extension work is progressing
nicely and this is the busiest depart |
ment in the state" said Dean Iddings. |
The county agents, home demonstra-
tors, field agents, boys and girls
clubs and all agricultural activities
are being carried into the remotest
parts of the state and some excellent
results are being obtained. The force
now employees lis persons in the va
rious capacities, the larger number
being engaged in the boys and girls
club work and county and home dem
onstration agents.
"In visiting the various counties
one is impressed with the activities
Of the county agents, who are COM
batting labor problems, plant diseases,

plants, silo constructions and every
other farm problem, including the de-
struction of weed, animal and insect
pests and increasing the yield and i'm

President Lindley to Missoula

President E. H. Lindley of the Uni
versity of Idaho left this afternoon
for Missoula, Mont, to attend the
"War Week" exercises at the Univer-
sity of Montana, where he will be one
of the prpincipal speakers. He ex-
poets to return to Moscow the last
of this week.

proving the quality of farm, garden
and orchard products.
The Labor Problem

"In few counties there is little
of the labor problem. In others it
is the chief problem to be solved.
This is especially true in the irrigated
districts, where it is indeed a pressing
problem. In number of counties the
commissioners or citizens have hired
special labor agents to assist the
farmers in solving the labor problems
and there is uniformity of the work
that is getting good results. The
close cooperation between the peace
officers, farm bureaus and county
agents is having good effect on the
labor situation. If a man comes into
the county these officers ascertain his
business. If he is laborer he is
given an opportunity to work at some
profitable employment at good wages
If he refuses this. he is required to
move on. GO to work or go on" is
the motto in practically all of the
agricultural counties of the state. AS
result more work is being done with
fewer laborers than ever before.
When laborer is done with one job
he is quickly taken to another and
provided with steady employment at
better wages than ever was paid in
this state.
University Stands Well
''The feeling toward the University
of Idaho I found to be good In some
localities all of the young men have
gone to war, even including the high
school boys. In others 1 found many
boys who want to complete their edu-
cation or at least get more educationti' "
before entering the service of their
country and the opportunities offered
by the university under it's new sched-
ule which places military training on
a higher plane than ever before and
gives every male student an oppor-
tunity to get into the army with a
,reditable training when his school
work is done, is attracting the young
men.
81 found crop conditions in southern
and eastern Idaho fine, especially in
the irrigated districts, where they are
good. In some of the
dry farming districts they are not SO
good, but in most of the districts,
in the southeastern dry
farming districts, these are very good.
Western Montana has some very poor
crops, due to the dry weather, and
he same is true of some of the north
ern counties of Idaho"

with their rapid firers were literally
ground into the earth by the tanks,
which swept over the enemy posts like

One group of tanks alone destroyed
guns and brought about the surrender
of at least 200 Germans. In addition
many Germans were slain by these
great engines.

Franco America
Track Meet
Great Event

New York, Nov. Am interesting
account of Franco-American track
meet, held recently in an American
army base town in France, has
reached this country. In part 1t is as
follows:
Before the war. the park where
the events were held had been un-
doubtedly we'll cared for, but the
scarcity of man power for non-ess
tiai pursuits accounted for the grass
grown walks and lettering fences.

was packed from floor to ceiling with
war supplies.
Most OF the events at an army
track meet are run of in military
form. No spike shoes or running
suits are allowed, the contestants be-
ing put on their marks in ordinary
army brogans, the regulation puttees
and army breeches. This meet, how
ever. was more pretentious and the
contestants began to make their ap-
pearance in ng-forgotten running
suits. Although billed as a Franco
American meet, there was a sprink-
ling OF other nationalities, drawn from
the armies of the allies. Before the
Interested crowd they limbered up
their muscles and tested the boards
at the jumps.
THE French athlete is not as sturdy
a specimen Of humanity as his Amer
lean friend, but his litheness and his
cuickness supplies the seeming de.
hciency. In the sprints and the jumps
1t stands him in good stead, but the
weight events generally find him In
the ruck. The contestants this af-
ternoon were well matched, some of
the heats were bitterly fought out,
and honors seemed in a fair way to
be even.
TO the stranger, the enjoyment Of
the bystanders furnished quite as
much entertainment as the prowess
OF the athletes. They discussed the
form OF the contestants volubly. and
there were many arguments concern.
