Dean E. J.Iddings, of the University
of Idaho, has just returned from Lewis
ton where he attended a meeting of the
directors of the Northwest Livestock
association, of which he is vice president
The premium list for the livestock show
in November has just been issued. II
contains the largest list of valuable
prizes ever offered in the west and, ac-
cording to Dean Iddings, makes this the
third largest livestock show in America.
The budget contains more than $4,000
in prizes.
There are as many as eight places run
ming from first to eighth prizes in some
classes, the prizes running from S35
down to $40 for some classes of fat
stock.
The university is planning to have
some good exhibits at the livestock
show. Owing to the loss of the tat
sheep the university will be handicapped,
but it will have a fine exhibit of fat and
beef cattle and of fat and stock hogs.

CLEAN SUMMER
FALL0W" NEEDLESS
FARM EXPERT MAKES INVESTI-
CATION OF CROP CONDITIONS
IN LATAH COUNTY

Byron Hunter, in charge of farm
management work for the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington, in
/ the state of Washington, Oregon ano
Idaho, has spent five days in Latak
county the guest of the county farm
bureau. Mr.. Hunter is Investigating
crop rotations and preparing bull
letin On chow to increase wheat yields
in dry farming districts" He is
gathering data and to do so visited
! all classes Of farmers and took reports
of their crops, yields and methods
covering a number of years. He Wis
tied all sections of Latah county,
spent much time with the farmers
and secured lot of valuable data.
Mr.. Hunter expressed the opinion
that summer-fallowing in this section
is waste of time and labor and that
crop rotation will secure as good re-
suits as summer fallow, with the adj
dition of the fallow crop in favor
of rotation He visited the pea and
bean growers of this section, as well
as the farmers who do not grow either
and are not believers in crop rotation.
While no figures are given out Mr..
Hunter made it plain that he is con-
WINGED the farmers who raised sue
cessive crops by rotating are making
more money and keeping their land in
better condition than those who do
not follow this method. He talked
with the farmers and took the records
of yields and methods of farming COW
ering period of several years and
from this will compile his data.
Mr.. Hunters conclusions, as an
nounced to A. w. Kjosness, county
agent and head of the county farm
bureau is that peas and wheat make
one of the best rotations, are very
profitable and easily handled. His
Investigations disclosed the fact that
the reasons for occasional failures of
pea crops is the failure to pillow the
ground in the fall. He found that
where the ground was plowed in the
fall and planted in the spring, the
pea crop had always been good and
peas the land was in better condition
for fall wheat than if it had been
summer fallowed, while the peas
yielded good profit each year.
In the vicinity of Troy and Ken
drick, where beans are raised extern
sively, farmers testified that over a
period of years it was found that the
best crops of wheat were raised on
ground that had produced one or more
crops of beans and that beans pay as
well or better than wheat. The beans
are cultivated and leave the ground
fertile and clean.
Mr.. Hunter will issue a bulletin
containing this information with data
gathered from various sections of the
three states in which he works, and
hopes to show that "clean summer
fallow is needless" and better results |
can be had by raising crops every !
wear by rotation.

HELMER DISTRICT SHOWS
SPLENDID IMPROVEMENT

The following items from Helmer
will be read with interest by Latah
county people. They are taken from
the Helmer correspondence in the La
tab County Press, published at Deary:
Will Dillman is very busy catch
ing and caging mink. He has II left
after losing eight by not having his
cage rightly arranged, but believes
he can retain all he can catch here
after.
Lee Sinclair has moved to Bovill
for the winter term of school.
M. S. Perry, who usually raises a
nice lot of apples each year, reports
a short crop, owing to late frost. He
has some crab apples of nice quality
but not many.
Gardens are looking fine in this
vicinity. Don't believe it when people
tell you that garden sass will not
grow in Helmer The climate has
changed great deal since the timber
was taken off and the warm sunlight
can shine upon the soil.
There seems to be good crop of
game birds in the woods this year,
the season being favorable for hatch
ing.
It will be but a short time until
the land in this section will be put
under cultivation Much new land has
been broken out this season which
next year will produce crops. The
Helmer district, like others of the
Upper Potlatch, is coming out of the
woods.
One of the show places of this sec
ton is the FLAG farm, a short dis
lance east of town. Dan FLAG, who
operates the place, is making money

VOLUNTEER. YOUNG WOMAN.

The government is calling for women
to volunteer in defense of their coun-
try. Not to fight or to bear arms, bu,
to go to the front in France and save
the lives of the brave men who are to
be wounded in defense of our country
The trained nurses are asked to vol.
unteer; those without dependents and
of military age, that is under 40 years
OF age. Ex-nurses, altho they may
have families and home duties. are
asked to return TO their profession in
the home hospitals that unattached
trained nurses may go to the front.
Young women from the high schools
and colleges are asked to enter training
schools and hospitals to study nursing.
This is going to be a long war. We
have less than a million men in France
now and the government is calling for
$4,000 graduate nurses The estimate
is for five times as many men and
many times more nurses.
Every man of military age is held
for military service of some kind. Half
a million have volunteered. Are the
women to be as courageous and as
loyal as the men? If they are the
trained nurses should be enlisting right
away in the Red Cross. Unframed
young women should be entering the
training schools as our young men en-
sered the officers training schools.
Former nurses should return to the
hospitals. People of means sufficient
TO employ trained nurses should DENY
themselves wherever possible and get
along with less experienced help.
No woman should be an idler. The
government has decreed that every
man must work at something useful
or fight. Every woman should work at
something useful or nurse the wound
ed. 1t is woman's opportunity in this
war to save lives, to care for the broth
ers and husbands who have been
"ounueu ana 10 brlng rellef TO the
women and children who have been

tality. Volunteer, young women. Vol

Don't wait for the draft. Go into
training at once and wear the uniform
of the Red Cross. In this way can you
prove worthy of the brave men who
will come marching home from victory.
In this way can you perform last low
ing service TO the brave men who are
to die that the civilization might live
which has made women free In this
way can you save human life from
destruction.

the gasolene Is needed in Flanders and
the chauffeurs are wanted at the front

not a single new automobile has been

But this drastic curtailment OF GER

Ing prices will depress the value Of

but buying will become active People
who have been denying themselves be-
cause of the scarcity OF goods and the
prohibitiveness of prices will want to
stock UP. Things are wearing out just
as fast as ever as time goes on.
But what are taxes going to be!
Taxes are going to remain higher than
they ever were before the war. The
waste of war must be paid and taxes
are the levies laid upon the production
of a people to restore what was de-
stroyed in the war. Taxes, however,
need not remain SO high as they are
While the war is on. Congress will
grasp the economic principle OF amort-
ization and distribute the war bill over
a period of years to be paid on the In
stallment plant. but taxes upon incomes
and profits are here to stay, Taxing
the few for the benefit of the many is
going to become politically popular.
Men will ride into cvongress advocating
it. The problem after the war viii be
to steer clear Of destroying initiative
and incentive and to avoid Bolshevik-
ism in America.

France Sound Financially.

A nation whose sinews Of war are
fiabby soon collapses. But the tussle
has hardened frances muscles. Up to
last January the French parliament
had voted war credits Of 81. e00, b0e,"
900. OF this only $4,000, BOO has
been borrowed In foreign markets, and
she, herself, has loaned more than 81
ooo. 6eo. 900 to her allies. Despite the
loss Of territory and her mobilized
citizenry, she has raised $4,000, ooo,-
oaO in three national loans. At the
beginning Of this year the Bank OF
France had more than $1,000, 100000
in gold in it's vaults, an increase OF
some s5o.O00.e 600 over 1917. Peasants
and workmen have paid every tax
levied to the last penny, and today
their individal deposits In France
credit establishments are more nnmer-
GUS and in larger sums than in 1914.
Furthermore, receipts from commerce

AN other wars have come to an end
and this war will end some day. What
will happen to our business and to our
way Of living when the war is over?

What will be the effect upon land

Russia, for instance, are so demoralized
that it will require years TO restore
normal production there and the world
