routed to Grangeville where he
will give exhibitions at the
Grangeville Border Day celebra-

The machine passed over Cot

over the city was witnessed by
many of the town folks and
country people alike. The lieu
tenant, with his plane, was fly
ing at about a height of 500 feet
when he passed over the city.
He made no attempt to land
here or to give an exhibition but
steered his machine direct for
Grangeville.
When the plane passed over
the city many of the residents
of Cottonwood were unaware of
it's coming, so many failed to see
the machine pass over.
Lieut.. Kelso, while enrouted
from Lewiston to lilo, where he
gave a short exhibition and after
attempting to make a landing
broke the~propeller of his
machine and tore off one wheel
the accident being due to a ditch
in the stubble field where he
brought his machine to the
ground.
Lieut.. Kelso's flight over the
prairie, accompanied by his wife
gives him the honor of being the

DEAL IN SHEEP
FOR $1O2,75O
C. ]. HALL DISPOSES OF HIS
SHEEP HOLDINGS IN THE
COUNTY

The largest sale of sheep in
terests by an individual in the
history of the industry in the
state was announced Saturday
when c. J. Hall parted with his
Idaho county interests on the
upper Snake river. With the
sale this swell-known stockman
retires to establish his home in
Lewiston, having purchased the
fine residence of Mrs. Chris

& Huffman and a subsidiary of

can Falls Development company,

sheep sale ever made by an in
dividual in the state. In the
sale $500 head of ewes, 1850
acres of decided land and the
equipment of the Hall sheep
camps are involved. The con-
sideration was $102,750 and the
holdings were entirely free from
any incumbrance. Mr.. Hall re-
tains the 1919 wool clip and this
years crop of lambs.
With this sale, Mr.. Hall parts
entirely with his Idaho county
interests, having decided to re-
tire permanently from active

attention to oil lands he owns in
the Breckenridge district of
Texas. His home will be main

just purchased the fine resi-
dence of Mrs. Chris Weisgerber

YIELD IS BETTER
Then EXPECTED
HARVESTING is NOW PRA-
TICALLY FINISHED; SOME
GOOD YIELDS

The present week has witness
sed the finishing of the major
part of the harvesting and
threshing operations in this sec
ton. The present season has
been abnormal in many respects
and although the acreage IN
crop was considerable above the
average, the amount of grain
harvested will be about 10 per
cent less than last year, and
about so per cent of the average
for the last eight years. In no
two localities in the Camas
prairie country were conditions
the same during the growing
season. Some localities were
badly damaged by late frosts
others suffered great loss from
grasshoppers which had passed
material damage.
The present season has de-
monstated more than any other
the wonderful drouth-resisting
qualities of the soil of this vici-
nifty. Although no rain fell
from May IL until the crop had
matured and was harvested, still
many yields of 35 to 40 bushels
per acre were reported by re-
liable authority; and in many
places, where the owner did not
expect to get his seed back, fair
yields were secured. On the
level country the spring crop as
a whole turned out better than
the fall sown crop, whereas in
the foothills and on the higher
parts Of the prairie the reverse
was true and fall rain returned
almost an average yield and the
spring crop fell short.
The above statement does MOI
apply to all individual cases but
to an average of general con.
ditions in the different localities
only. T he season was freakish
in many ways and results widely
varied in the same localities
One instance of Marquis wheat
for example: Of two adjoining
fields on the same farm, both
spring sown and of the same va
riety, receiving the same care
one field yields three bushels
per acre and the other seventeen
bushels per acre. In some cases
the variation is easily accounted
for by frost, grasshoppers, seed.
ing conditions or other common
causes, but in other instances
the seemingly unaccountable
variation of yields is puzzlinl
even to the scientific observer
of agricultural conditions.
Taking the Cottonwood coun
try as a whole, spring soWr
wheat has averaged about /:
bushels per acre and fall whea
about 25 bushels per acre.
Five or six of the Iarges
threshing outfits finished thei
run this week and those still il
the field will probably b
through within the next week o
ten days. This is fully a mont
earlier than threshing opera
tions usually end in this vicinity
