PRICES FOR THRESHING
AGREED UPON
Uniform Rates Adopted by State
Farm Bureau and ThreSherS'
Association

At a meeting of the state farm
bureau at Gooding June 29 uniform
threshing rates were adopted by rep
resentative farmers and threshmen
state. In localities where the thresh-
ermen make a low daily run due to
small jobs, bad roads and long pulls
it was agreed that local committee
consisting of representative farmers
and thresherman and County Agri-
cultural agents should recommend the
rates. The following rates recon-
mended were adopted by the Payette
Valley Threshermen's association at
the annual meeting held in Emmett
Saturday, July 6:
Wheat, go pound bushel
Bearded barley, 48 pounds
bushel
Oats, SO pounds bushel---.--.----.-.-.------5c
l cent more per bushel under dry
land conditions permissible.
Set jobs SIS. Reasonable charges
for extra long and bad pulls.
s1.25 per bushel for red clover and
alfalfa.
S1.50 per bushel for white clover
and alfalfa.
$500 per hour when wages by
bushel cannot be made.
Above prices are based on average
of 700 bushels per day on 50-day run.
While the thresher receives l cent
per bushel more than in 1917, the in
crease of S12 per day in expenses as
estimated by the government, brings
his receipts to S. less than last year.
The committee was composed of A.
]. Berry of Emmett, Jack Young Of
Sweet and Thos. j. Windle of French.

CovERNMENTtAFTER THOSE
WHO ARE BOARDING WEALTH

The following comes from the
Treasury department under the date
Of April 20, and tells the story of
what the government thinks Of peo-
pie who fail to buy liberty bonds and
help the Red Cross:
"The Comptroller Of the Currency
recently made an application for a
charter for new national bank in a
certain Western state, as there was,
apparently, an opening for bank in
the community in which it was to be
established and the applicants seemed
to be men Of responsibility and means
and some prominence.
Subsequently, doubt arose as to
the loyalty and patriotism of the APP
plicants, and it was ascertained that
although the six applicants. for the
charter were reported to be men of
considerable means-some of them
claiming to be worth quarter of a
million dollars or more-the aggre-
gate amount Of Liberty Bonds Of the
first and Second issued to which the
six applicants had subscribed only
5000, several of the applicants for
the charter having taken no Liberty
Bonds at all, and their aggregate
subscriptions to the Red Cross had
been only $149.
"The Comptroller has today revok-
ed the authority given for the organ
ization of this proposed national bank
on the ground that men of means in
these times who show so little patriot
ism and so little public spirit in the
matter of making subscriptions to
Liberty Bonds and to the Red Cross
are unfit to be placed in charge of any
national bank.
