To STOP SALE
Of ALL HENS
AND PULLETS
EMBARGO is PLACED ON FEMALE
POULTRY UNTIL
APRIL 80
CONSERVE EGG SUPPLY
BEGINNING TODAY SHIPMENTS OF
SUCH POULTRY is
FORBIDDEN.

The federal food administrator has
forbidden the shipment of hens and
pullets beginning today No more fe-
male poultry will be permitted to be
used for food and meat markets will
not be permitted to sell them.
This movement is made to conserve
the supply of eggs and increase the
production Of poultry this year. The
embargo is to continue until April 80
and may be renewed then.
Owing to the scarcity of food ami
mails in the United States and the
great demand for meat for the troops
and our allies the government is de-
sirous of encouraging the production
of more poultry to take the place of
meat on meatless days and the best
method of increasing poultry produc-
ton was thought to be by stopping
the sale of hens and pullets for food
purposes.
In other words the food admins
traitor believes the people have been
killing the hen 'that laid the golden
egg" and will put stop to the prac-
tice.

THE farming communities need these companies of

which so much depends must be protected and these
guards will protect it, The outlaws who seek to de-

Judge McCroskey, Of the Whitman county superior
court in urging the citizens of Coax to support the

POTATO FLOUR
BIG POTATO CORP TO BE USED

FLOUR
NOW READY
H. F. BICKNELL, FOOD ADMIN
ISTRATOR HELPING
PROJECT

A plant for making potato flour has
been built at Idaho Falls and is now
ready for operation, according to the
report of H. F. Bicknell, state food ad-
ministrator. The plant will be boom
to the potato growers of that section
who feared heavy loss due to lack
Of market and transportation for the
immense crop Of potatoes grown last
year. There is a great demand for
wheat flour substitutes and the potato
flour will supply large part of this.
The Farmers Protective association
has petitioned the national food ad-
ministration to arrange for the erec-
ton of potato flour mills at various
points in the northwest where a large
acreage of potatoes was planted last
spring and an unusually large crop
harvested. The petition recites that
the farmers increased their potato
acreage at the urgent request of the
administration and planted seed po-
tatoes that cost as high as five cents
a pound, with labor that cost So per
day and board for planting and dig
ging, and paid high prices for sacks
and now cannot sell their potatoes
for enough to pay the actual expenses.
Unless potato flour can be made
and market for the potatoes found
in this way there will be serious loss
and corresponding reduction in the !
acreage of potatoes planted this year,
he petitioners claim.

amounting to $5O,OOO,OOO as compared
with $32 ,S50,OO0 in 1915, according to
Governor ]. F. A. Strong's report. The
increase, 81 per cent, was due largely
to the increased copper production
which amounted to 120,580,000 pounds,
valued at 32,4OO,OOO. There was a
small increase in the gold output
which in 1916 was $17,5OO,OOO, and in
