Garden Notes.

The Garden campaign last year re-
suited in the growing of millions of
dollars worth of vegetables where none
had grown before and helped wonder
fully in the food preparedness of the
country. This year the food situation
is more critical than ever in Americas
history and no family that can command
the use Of q small piece of ground
should fail to grow the vegetables for
home consumption.
We have dug out our hotbeds the past
week and packed fresh stable manure,
right from the stalls, in them to depth
Of fifteen inches and rich loan on top of
this and then put the sash on. For n
few days the heat will be too great for
terminating seed and we will wait ten
days and then plant out early tomato
seed, that is ten days from this writing,
or about February Is. Also will plant
peppers. eggplants, caulifiowers, bee.s,
and lettuce, all these for transplanting
for the very earliest crop.
We have had our check returned to US
from two large cabbage plant grow ers.
with the information that they have no
plants for sale. The severe winter has
killed millions Of these early plants
thruout the south and indications are
now that the same scarcitv that we met
last spring will handicap the setting out
of large crop again this season. We
are planting seed and will have q sup.
ply little later, but the chance of get
ting the frost proof plants that we have
come to depend on is very slim.
Prune grapes, raspberries and such
small fruit at once il il has not already
been done.
Bed q lot Of sweet potatoes late next
month and don't depend on southern
grown plants and be disappointed as
we all we're last year. Even II we
could get them shipped. shipments arc
uncertain under present railroad con-
ditions,
Several paintings ofseed for the
early spring crop Of vegetables have
been reported to US this week. The
bright sunny days of the first of the
week, even tho cold, we're calculated to
make a man with gardening insincts
get busy with bis seed. And we cannot
depend on cabbage and potato plants
from the far south again this year.
They have been killed by severe freezes
again and If we would be sure Of crop
we had better get seed and make home
paintings aslcarly as possible. Cabbage
can be planted in the open ground here
by the middle of this month with good
chance of making good growth.

one ton Of averagegrade bituminous

The most common method Of making
cord wood Is to cut the trees into four
foot lengths with an AZ and split the
larger pieces. The pieces are then
piled In a standard cord, which is
eight feet long. four feet high and four
feet wide. The contents are 12S cubic

80 per cent air.
Best Heating Value.
To have the best heating value as

Because of the unusual demand for
cord wood 1t is believed that the
present time offers unparalleled op-
portunity not only for farmers to I'm
prove their woodlands by cutting out
the poorer trees and selling them, but
for private and public owners Of
wooded tracts to clear their lands at
a profit. Communities which feel they
are threatened with a serious fuel
shortage will do well to take measures
to stimulate the cutting Of wood. Such
action may be viewed as part of
Americas cooperation In the national
endeavor to feed and sustain Ameri.
cas- army and allies.

PRIVATE WooDLoTs HELP
MEET A COAL SHORTAGE.

Throwing open the woodlot on
his suburban place to all who
would come and cut, a Washing
tom ID. O. man aided shivering
families to meet the coal strin-
gency a few weeks ago. Then
he located some 5000 cords more
in either fallen or dead standing
timber In wooded lands nearby
and obtained the consent Of the
owners to allow the public to cut
fuel in needed quantities under
proper supervision.

HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD
A W00DcUTTER CUT r.,

Taking white oak as fairly
typical Of the hard woods and
white pine for the soft woods,
the figures below win show ap-
proximately the amount Of cord
wood that may be cut from trees
Of different sizes. The figures
will vary considerably with the
extent at which the tops and
branches are utilized and on the
taper Of the tree trunks. With
forest-grown trees, utilizing me
branches and tops to about two
inches these amounts may be
expected:
White Oak.
Ten inches In diameter, so feet

may interfere with harvest work, was
the statement of L. F. Parsons, chairman
of the Latah county council of defense
and head of the government labor system
in the five central counties of Idaho.
Mr.. Parsons stated that the government
has demanded certain number of feet
of airplane lumber per month from the
Potlatch Lumber company and this de-
mand cannot be met unless more men
are secured He said smaller mills are
calling upon his bureau for from 50 to
100 men and the demand is far in excess
of the supply He predicted that there
will be enough men for the harvest If
farmers are conservative, exchange work
with each and town people who can
get away go out and work in the harvest
fields
President Suppiger, of the chamber,
announced that IS men are to leave La
tab county for army environments on
Monday, August 5, and appointed J. E.
Nesslv chairman of committee to be
selected by himself, to see that the men
are given a fitting farewell by Moscow
people.

the goth century, moving forward in
solid phalanx. The thrift of war
time is the thrift which means
america First"
All matters of personal consider
alton are inconsequential. Personal
luxuries and the manifold cenven-
fences of peace days must be laid on
the altar of patriotism. This does
not mean that business should be
ruthlessly and blindly curtailed. The
great masses of our people, those
mighty millions who, in the face Of
many privations, are buying Liberty
bonds and Thrift Stamps with dollars
and pennies that come from the bot
tom of their pockets must be given
employment that will enable them
to continue loyal in the support of
the government in its war financing.
They must be given their chance to
continue to practice thrift, and with
just pride, become tremendous fac
tor in this worldwide fight for hu-
man liberty.
Recent events have demonstrated
the tremendous potential financial
strength of America. A year and a
quarter of warfare, with it's prodig-
ious expenses, finds us still a giant
of financial power. Tremendous flo
tations launched by our large cor
porations have been snatched up with
an avidity that reveals the almost
limitless monetary resources of Am
erica.
Since the beginning OF the war,
there has been every indication that
among all Americans there is the
same willingness to give their last
dollar, their last ounce of strength,
their last drop of blood, if need be,
for our beloved country. We demon
strate here, the truth of the ideals for
which we are fighting-that democ-
racy means universal self-denial as
well as universal freedom.
Let every employer, every group
Of men who have the control Of large
finances in their hands, take home
personally the significant lessons Of
democracy. America has turned the
tide of war. Our forces on the battle
fields of France are writing glorious !
on the pages of history. The
same spirit is being exemplified at !
home. There are still greater sac
.ifices ahead of us. Each day we
must learn new lessons in thrift, de-
rise new ways of marshalling our
'esources to the support of our arms.
Tor, through these means alone, will
decisive victory come at last"

COMMISSIONER BRYAN TELLS
OF DECISIONS ON QUESTION
OF STATE FUNDS

sSPOKANE.-Dr. E. A. Bryan of
Boise, state commissioner of education
of Idaho, is in Spokane after having at
tended session of the executive COM
mittee of the Idaho State university at
Moscow. In a statement relative to the
recent decision of the supreme court in
the case of the state board of education
and its funds, he said:
Il have not seen the text of the de-
cision, but | have just talked with Ram
sey Walker of Wallace vice-president of
the board, who said he had just talked
with Justice Morgan of the court, now at
his summer camp at Lake Chatcolet. JUS
tice Morgan said that the court held with
the state board of education on all vital
points, particularly that all federal funds
must be kept inviolably in the designated
fund and be used only for the purpose
set forth in the act of congress- He said
that the holder of a warrant, and not
the board of education, was the proper
source for initiatory mandamus proceed
ings for the payment of a given warrant
The question as to who should sue for
judgment on warrant was not mat
ter of any consequence SO far as the
board of education is concerned
THE contention of the board of edu-
cation is that the United States govern
ment made certain grants for educational
and that these funds must be
kept inviolably in their respective funds
and not be paid into the general fund |
to be paid out for the general expense
of the state. In this contention, the
state treasurer agrees with the board |
With this contention the court seems to
agree, though denying that the board is
the proper source for originating "a suit
for writ of mandate"

lists only when it is general-and here
is no democracy of craftsmanship, the

it democratically. Each must do his
share-not alone in the terms of dol

fices and self-denia1, as we'll
Within sixty days our government
will ask the people of the country for
a loan of possibly $7,OOO,OOO,OOO. If
we analyze the statistics of our war
finances, we will see that this new
Liberty Loan to be brought out in
the early fall will require greater
practice of thrift from all; but more
especially from those who are in a
position to purchase large amounts Of
these securities.
Our three Liberty Loans, amounting
to about $4,000, 100000, have been
subscribed to by approximately 21,-
100000 Americans. Thrift Stamps
are being sold at the rate of $780,
100000 week, or more than $780,
100000 year. When we consider
these monumental figures, in addition
to which we must remember the var
ious taxes and the excessively high
prices of all commodities in life, we
have a glorious picture of the thrift
and patriotism of the American
people. It is largely through the prac-
tice of thrift that those at home DUR.
ing the war are able to demonstrate
their intense devotion to he cause for
which our boys, with marvellous valor
and brilliant military department, are
achieving victories on the battle
field.
In floating the next issue Of Lib
erty bonds, which will be as large as
the last two loans combined, it is
therefore that greater fl
nanciial sacrifices must be faced by
individuals and large bust |
ness corporations. We must learn, J
in this country, the democracy Of
great wealth. Thrift must supplant
the Injuries of the rich just as it is
the thriftlessness Of the
poor. The autocracy of medievalism
must be crushed by the democracyasf |

Der of commerce to arrange for such a

given an opportunity to help harvest

of labor and an effort to secure per-
mission for this was made. Cover
nor Alexander telegraphed Provost
Marshal General Crowder asking
that men employed on FARMS be re-
leased from the August. draft call
but the appeal has not availed. The
following circular sent out to all
county boards is self-explanatory:
To All Boards:
The following telegram was sent
by Governor Alexander to the Prov
ost Marshal General:
August draft will rob agriculture
counties of Idaho of needed labor for
harvesting crops. Can quotas in these
counties be delayed thirty days
Answer ALEXANDER, Governor.
The reply of General Crowder was
as follows:
'No. E-1958. Cannot delay August
calls without interference with mil
itary program. Have been compelled
to make same reply to other states
who have evolved their own solution.
Illinois for example has organized
thousands of school boys and sent
them into the harvest fields. August
draft will not exceed Glass 1. At
tention is directed to furloughs grant
ed by camp commanders in specific
cases. These cannot be made a gen
eral rule to delay the entrainment
to draft contingents but must be act
ed upon by the camp commander who
has entire jurisdiction.
Regret necessity of reply but the
military program precludes any other
action. CROWDER."
This office is informed that many
local boards have temporarily defer
red men engaged in agriculture who
are otherwise in Glass 1 subject to
July and August calls. These tele-
grams settle the question. You can
not and must not release, any men
from these calls to cultivate or har-
vest their crops, and men temporarily
deferred by your board must be in
Quoted before you can take any man
from the 1913 class. If passed here
tofore he must be included now if
needed to fill your quota before max
ing involuntary inductions from the
1918 class. All men in the 1917 class
must be inducted before using men in
The 1913 class, except those who may
volunteer for induction from the 1918
class.
Your board will be held strictly ac-
,ountable for strict compliance with
,hese instructions. So
