LAW REQUIRES THRESHER-
MEN TO TAKE OUT LICENSE

(By Harvey Alfred, Director of Farm
Markets.
The law governing the licensing OF
threshermen requires that all owners
of threshers or seedhullers shall reg
lister with the Director of Farm Mar
kets and procure licenses to engage
in such business The license costs
$780, which Is used by the Depart
ment for the purpose of defraying
expenses connected with the collect
ing and compiling of these reports.
This requirement applies to combines
as well as regular threshing machines
hut IL an individual owner of a ma
chine, combine or thersher does no
custom work, no threshing except his
own, he is not required to take out
! licenses, but is asked by the Depart
/ ment to send in report of the amount
of grain threshed or seed hulled on
/ his own farm, that we may have rec

for this purpose will be provided him
on application.

JULY CROP CONDITIONS

Unusually hot, dry weather in
June was responsible for decreased

Idaho field agent. The states total
wheat production is estimated at 49,
S92.O0 bushels. Only per cent OF
the wheat produced last year re-

The potato acreage has slumped
from $4,000 acres to $4,000 acres.
The decrease would have been larg-
er but many abandoned sugar beet
fields were reseeded to potatoes. This
was especially true in Bingham and
Bonneville counties Poor seed and
unfavorable soil and weather condi-
tions caused generally poor stands.
Many of the fields are very spotted.
II Is noted, however, that wherever
, whole tubers were used fos seed al
most a perfect stand OF healthy plants
resulted.
A production OF 2,OSS, 900 tons of
hay is indicated Quality has been
damaged somewhat by untimely
rains. Cool weather In May Tetard-

first crop Is not up to last years
However, the second crop is coming

Il was too early on June LIST to

to the low condition of fruit in gen

The stand OF sugar beets was be

federal government TO give report on
county, district and state production
obtained and anticipated. There was
no data available from which we
could Judge the quantities of our va
rious products seeking market or
make report to the federal govern
ment; hence the enactment of this
law. and another requiring the coun-
~ assessors to obtain more extern
sive agricultural data report.
Neither OF these laws referred to
can be made TO serve its purpose and
give the Farm Markets Department
absolutely necessary and reliable In
formation whereby the Department
can aid the producer In marketing
his crops. unless we can have the
careful. intelligent cooperation Of
the farmers and threshermen.
The thresermen have, az q rule.
been very careful and thorough in
complying with this law and our re-
quest. Through their kindness. We
have obtained the most reliable da-
Ia now at our command But the
county assessors reports are not
serving so we'll. chiefly for the rea-
sons that farmers are very reluctant
! to give the assessors a full and accu-
rate account OF their productions,
even IL they are In possession OF II
themselves. because they seem to
think the information furnished will
&c used as a basis of taxation, This
not correct the report has moth
ng whatever to do with taxation. And
again. there are many farmers who
never keep an account OF their pro-
auctions, sales or expenditures; In
fact some know little or nothing OF
their assets and liabilities from year
to year. From these farmers. the re
port is little more than a guess. and
can never be made to properly serve

COMPENSATION Law AS IT
AFFECTS THRESHERATEN
(By c. d Broxou, Insurance Commits
s;Oner1

tBy c. q. Broxon. Insurance Commits
s.oner)
All threshermen doing custom work
must comply with the workmens
Compensation Law and take insur-
ance guaranteeing the payment OF
any benefits that may become due to
any of their employees because of ae-
cidental injuries
Men owning threshing machines
used solely to thresh their own grain
raised and produced by themselves
need not insure unless they volunta-
rily desire to do so.
Men employed by farmers to assist
in threshing are considered as engag-
ed in agricultural pursuits the same
as other farm operations. Thersher-
men must procure insurance for all
men employed by them but need not
do so for men assisting in threshing
operations but employed by the farm
er for whom the threshing is done.
The Insurance rates are based up
on the actual payroll expended by
the threshermen during the season.
In the first instance, this payroll is
estimated and a premium Is charged
upon such estimate At the conclu-
sion of the threshing season a state
ment will be taken from the thresher-
man, under oath, showing the actual
payroll expended and IL such actual
payroll expended should be less than
the estimate the difference in urem-
ium would be refunded to the thresh-
erman. II the actual payroll expend-
ed should be greater than the esti-
mate, the difference would be collect
ed at the time of readjustment,
The State Funds rate is S5.15 on
each $4,000 of payroll; to this
should be added fiat policy fee of
/ $500. The State Funds rate is low
err than the casualty companies rates
and in addition 1t fixes no minimum
which the small operator is Obliged
to pay other than the $500 policy
fee.
If the experience of all thresher
men throughout the state should be
favorable and 1t is ascertained at the
end OF the year that more money has
been collected than Is required tC
pay losses and to comply with the lie
gal requirements of the law, the diff
ference will be refunded to tht

no profit whatever out OF the transac
ton but merely paying losses and

WHO GIVES MONEY
and Who GETS IT
Official Data on South's Contribu-
ton to Third Liberty
Loan.

In recent issue Of the Literary
Digest there appeared series Of ad-
vertisements inserted by a Southern
advertising agency on behalf Of the
newspapers Of Southern states. One
of these ads reads in part as follows
Subscriptions Of the Southern people
to Liberty Bonds exceed the average Of
the United States. Returns from sub
scriptions for the Third Liberty Loan
show that every Southern district very
largely oversubscribed it's quota. - .
How did this happen? No one contends
that the Southerner Is more patriotic
than the rest of his countrymen. But as
the above figures show clearly that he
invested more literally in Liberty Bonds
than his brethren. there is only one
reasonable deduction-he has more money

North and West. when the farmer in
supposed to have more money. Every
day Is harvest time in the South"
Ihis effort to make it appear that
the South did more than its share In
subscribing to the Third Liberty Loan
Is not sustained by the data issued by
the United States Treasury Depart
ment. The official figures taken from
the treasury departments report Of
the Third Liberty Loan shows that the
Fourth Southern Federal Reserve Dis

The $639, 965, $50 the Southern states

Is but little more than the amount Of

WHAT ABOUT LABOR IN |
AFTER-WAR PER|0D?|
Will Nation Experience Same
Delay That Has Marked
War Preparation?

WOrkmen In the united STATES are
now fully employed at higher wages
than labor has ever known. Many Of
them have become accustomed to a
scale Of living better than they have
ever known. In the last two years
nearly one million women have taken
Jobs either formerly held by men or
newly created jobs which under ordi-
nary circumstances would be filled by
men,
's.iree million ablebodied men are
now either actually in service or being
called to training camps. Over five
million laborers are actually engaged
in factories and plants directly and
wholly occupied in making war mate
in Quasi-war work.
What will happen to these millions
when peace is declared? What will
become Of the "war jobs?" What will
happen to the high level of wages?
The moment peace Is declared the
United States Government and other
Governments will cancel their i'm
mense outstanding orders and con-
tracts for war material. Automatic
ally this will throw millions out Of
employment unless provision is made
ahead of time to find work for them
during the period Of reconstruction.
This advance preparation cannot be
made in a day, a week or month. It
is more gigantic task to prepare for
this than 1t was to prepare for war;
We have been engaged in war now
over eighteen months, and we still are
dependent upon England and France
for munitions, guns, clothing, ships
and much other war material. If the
present administration of affairs could
not put the nation on a war basis in
eighteen months how long would it
take the same leaders to put the ma
ton on a peace basis?
These questions only Indicate the
very serious problems which labor
must confront Immediately upon the
declaration Of peace. Republican con-
gressmen contend that it is necessary
that this government should immedi-
ately take steps to safeguard labor
during that period after the war when
industry is readjusting itself They
contend that labor should be protected
from the flood Of cheap products
abroad and from enforced idleness at
home. Republican leaders are back Of
the Weeks Reconstruction Bill, which
would create bipartisan committee to
begin Immediately the framing of poll
cies to meet these emergencies.
