THE STATE FAIR OF IDAHO.
BY e. J. Iddings, Dean Of Animal
Husbandry, University OF
Idaho, Moscow.


Farmers and stockmen of the State
of Idaho are gratified at the showing
that has been made during the past
three years in building up in Idaho
real state fair. This fair has come
forward rapidly from a position but
little known to state of real i'm.
portance in the states agriculture and
other industries.
When first identified with the Uni
versity of Idaho and the agriculture
of Idaho nine years ago, the writer
was surprised to find the institution
that stood for the state fair to have
no state support. and to be conducted
by an organization OF individuals I'M
der the name of the Intermountain
Fair This fair was presently allow
ed to lapse and was succeeded by the
Gem State Fair, still without state
recognition, but a step forward in that
a claim was made to the state for
money. The legislative session OF 1917
for the first time provided small
appropriation for conducting in Idaho
at Boise a State Fair. and the present
institution was organized under the
name Of the State Fair of Idaho.
Those who are acquainted with the
place a real state fair occupies in the
life Of people are intensely interested

the State Fair of Idaho. This insti
tuition has made gratifying progress
and advancement over its two prede
ceSsors--the Intermountain Fair and
the Gem State Fair--and the last
three years have shown marked i'm.
provement in the present organization.
The attached table shows the pre-

added the premiums offered for 1919
The premiums for all exhibits are

no the only state that offer more mon
ev in the above named departments
than does the State Fair OF ldano.
There will be many conveniences
found for the exhibitors in the way
of enlargement of exhibit grounds, I'M
movements of all sorts for the tax
ing care Of people, and In the erection
of new buildings. Additional build
;ngs are a horse barn 40x140 IT,, two
cattle barns 2Sx1O4 it., racing paddock
4Ox6O IT,. and 200-foot addition TO
the grandstand. These Improvements
and additions will mean that better
care can be taken of the exhibitor ana
the visitor will find it more convenient
to inspect the erhibits of the various
departments.
The fair of 1918 was really worth
while exhibition For the first time
several out-of-state herds found 1t
worth while to visit the State Fan
Of Idaho. The competition, particular
" in the beef cattle classes, last year
mt Boise was unusually keen and the
exhibits were of more merit. the
Secretary's office this year states that
entries are already made from such
big breeders as A. b. Cook, Townsend
Montana, Allen Cattle Company, Col
orado Springs, Colo, Warnock x Son

party in the famous Salt Lake was
enjoyed by the whole personnel and
the keys Of the city were turned
over to them.
The roads encountered in Utah were
revelation and a rest to the much
bumped travellers. Fine highways
gradeless, dustless, and perfectly
maintained took them out of Salt
Lake City and sixty-two miles were
covered, including troublesome
stretch of eight miles in detour.
Milestone 1928, in Ogden, has been
dedicated with appropriate ceremon-
les, and the subject Of good roads
is one of the prides of the section.
Many messages from Utah to Con
gress have urged the increases Of
the Townsend bill to a billion dollars.
Roads Well Kept.
From Salt Lake City to Orr's
ranch, distance Of seventy-four
miles, was made from morning to
afternoon. Generally the roads en-
countered were hard, well matalled
and cement, all kept I'm first-class
condition. The road from Ogden to
Salt Lake City is fifty-two miles OF
an almost gradeless, straight line
with few turns, and those were wide
ones. Only one point between Ogden
and Orr's ranch, at the edge of the
State, presented any trouble: this was
where reconstruction was being made
and soft sands mired two cars.
Contrary to expectations, Orr's
Ranch was found to be not lonely
station in the wilds, but small town
Cowboy stunts, wild riding, and other
such pastimes were staged for the
benefit Of the convoy. In return, the
campers entertained with motion pic
lures, searchlight demonstrations, and
lectures which were thoroughly ap
preciated.

Not only is it a criminal offense to
engage in business requiring a license
without such license, but also one Of
the important conditions upon which
licensees hold their licenses is that
they will not engage in business with
anyone required to obtain a Wheat
Director license who has not obtained
such license. Furthermore all licensees
are required to place the words Unit
ed States Wheat Director License No."
followed by the number of their Ii
cense upon every contract, order, ac-
ceptance of order, invoice, price list
and quotation issued or signed by them
relating to wheat or wheat products.
Consequently licensees can readily
ascertain whether those with whom
they are dealing have obtained the re-
quisite license. If they engage in bust
ness in licensed commodities with any.
one who is required to obtain a IL
cense and has not done so, such H.
censees endanger their own license and
may forfeit their right to engage in
licensed business. In this way mem
bers of the various trades affected be
come aids OF the Wheat Directors in
seeing that dealers who are required
to obtain license make their applica
ton. In addition all violators of the
license requirements coming to the
attention of the Wheat Director will
be reported to the Department of Jus
| tice.
| Those who are required by the Act
of Congress and proclamation of the
President mentioned above to secure Ii
censes, consist of all persons, firms
corporations and associations engaged
in or carrying on the business Of stor
ing or distributing wheat or manu-
featuring storing or distributing whea
flour, and all persons, firms, corpora
tions and associations who manufac
ture either wholly or partly from whea
-four, bread or other bakery products
for sale-excepting, however,
(a) Bakers -and Manufacturers OF
bakery products, whose consumption
of -four in the manufacture of sucl
products is, in the aggregate. less thar
fifty barrels per month.
(b) Retailers. and farmers, cooper
alive associations OF farmers or Other
persons with respect to the products
of any farm or other land owned, leas
ed or cultivated by them; and
(c) Common carriers, as to oper
ations necessary to the business Of

These Wheat Director licenses are
required as one step In carrying on
the price guarantees made to producers
of wheat of the crop Of 1919, and t.
protect the United States against un
due enhancement of its liabilities
hereunder. There is no reason VIII!
those required to obtain licenses SHOULD
not do so; and, as two months hav'
elapsed since the proclamation of tn,
President requiring licenses, there il
no longer any excuse for anyone whS
has failed to procure required licenses

Sergeant Alvin C. York, Of Pal
Mall, Tenn, winner of the congress
sional medal and credited by Cen
eral Pershing with the greatest single
piece of heroism in the world wal, has
returned. Sergeant York went ov-
erseas with the 92Sth infantry. On
October s, 1918, he accomplished
his great feat. Single-handed he kill
ed twenty-five Germans, captured
1876 prisoners, including a major and
three lieutenants, put thirty-five ma
chine guns out of business, and
smashed the counter-attack of
whole German battalion. Back in
the mountains of Tennessee York re-
ceived the call to war. He had
shortly before that joined the Pos
sum Trot church and had been pro-
NOTED to second elder. The sect he
belonged to frowned on war, and
York could have claimed exemption
as the sole support of his mother, sis
tiers and brothers, but he didn't.
When he went to France he still had
his doubts about engaging actively in
slaughter. But his commander read
him some Scripture from Ezekiel,
33rd chapter. Ten days laters Ser
geant York accomplished this great
feat. Upon his return from France
he was met by a delegation from
Tennessee, which presented him with
a $4,000 Victory bond, and this week
a purse of $4,000 was raised to buy
him fine farm and merchants have
agreed to stock it in every detail.
York will preach in his home church
tomorrow and his sweetheart is to an
Ewer his proposal of a year ago.

especially aby moral encouragement,
lend their aid to the Boy Scout move
ment.
The value of the tlaining that a
boy receives through his Scout mem
bership is unquestioned. The value
of the organization to the community
has ben shown too frequently to need
elaboration at this time. The Boy
Scout movement is one with which
the public is thoroughly familiar and
the management of the campaign
from June to IA may count on a
ready, warm and hearty response
from all quarters.

the American Red Cross finds itself
with an Unexpectedly hard task

Resources have been heavily taxed
to meet this need, which looms larger
