of the load that belongs to US. Let's
even up this time. We can If every
bank in the district will invest at
least per cent OF its resources in the

in conclusion, the reserve bank
says: Again we advise the banks to
subscribe their quotas wherever it is
possible for them to do so, and we
urge corporations. firms and indi-

Confidence in Future.

Reimbursement is proceeding from
day to day, a step at time. That
there is no sudden slump is due to
the attitude of business wherever
pains are taken to find out what this
attitude is.
1t is. in fact, one of confidence, not
in the belief that there will be a
quick adjustment or sudden revival.
but confidence that amounts to GER
tainty that the future in this country
viii be prosperous. This is the opin-
ion of ]. S. Bache & Co.
That hrm says that this confidence
IN individuals and in corporations is
due to the fact that for three years or
more the country has been making
large and unusual profits. and is pre.
pared to take whatever comes. even
II 1T is year or two of Improbable
business, or a cessation of activity
or even some depression. In the stock
market big capitalists are holding
there is no demand for them are idle.
Uncertainty as to the future (but not
pessimism) keeps the public out of
the market. Spectators have the
weight or news against advances, and
take advantage of it. Railroads are
depressed under the absence of any
decided action for their benefit. Pub
lie opinion on railroads is slowly
crystallizing, and the conclusion thus
far Is pretty thoroughly against gov
practical plan. however, is before the
country chat would work out for gov
eminent control of rates and wages,
thus guaranteeing just returns to Sc
curity holders, combined with the adj
Vantages of private control of sery-
ice and consequently good service.

GOPHERS OBJECT OF
BIG FALL CAMPAIGN
FARM BUREAU DETERMINES
UPON COUNTRY WIDE EX-
TERMINATION EFFORT,

Decision to hold county wide
gopher determination campaign be-
ginning September l was reached al
the regular meeting of the Canyon
county farm bureau executive commit
tee held Saturday afternoon. S. G.
tucker, executive committeeman in
charge of pest control, will supervise
the campaign. He will devote a con-
siderable portion of his time during
the campaign to supervising and di-
recting the work and giving demon
STATIONS.
K. 5. Zimmerman, field assistant OF
the department of biological survey,
has been conducting considerable ex-
detrimental work in the county on the
best bait and poison to use. Upon his
recommendation, carrots, poisoned
with strychnine alkaloid will be en-
ployed in the campaign. Mr.. thinner
man during the past month, with this
combination, has obtained results
showing effectiveness ranging from
50 to 90 per cent depending upon bait
used. The combination selected for
the county campaign has proven the
most satisfactory.
Will Organize Communities.
On the evening preceding the drive
in each community a meeting of all
farmers in that community will be held
to make arrangements for the work.
Two men will be provided by the farm
bureau to assist the drive in each dis
trict and at least two days will be de-
voted to gopher determination in each
community. An effort will be made to
cover the entire county. Work will
begin in the western part of the
county, paying particular attention to
the Boise river bottom lands from
Central Cove and Franklin to Apple
Valley and Roswell.
Efforts to obtain the enforcement of
statute passed by the recent meeting
of the state legislature through the
county commissioners will be made
by the farm bureau executive commit
tee. The statute provides that the
county commissioners shall appoint a
man to oversee gopher determination
When individual farmers refuse to do
the work. the county appointed man
shall poison the gophers on the farm
er's land and affix the bill to the farm
er's taxes. Two commissioners, C. r.
Ross and l., l., Young. attended the
meeting.
Boost Fairs.
Plans were formulated at the meet
ing to enter exhibits at the Nampa
Harvest Festival. These exhibits will
be taken later to the State Fair at
Boise. A resolution was passed au-
thorizing the farm bureau to erect an
exhibit booth at the State Fair to
house the Canyon county agricultural
exhibits,

age.
How to Test Weight.
AS indicated, the test weight pei
bushel should be taken after the dock
age has been removed from the sam
pie. In making the test weight pei
bushel, a definite series of operations
is prescribed by the federal grain SUI
pervlsor to insure uniform results, NO
matter where the test is made, and to
be fair and correct should always be
made with these directions. The test
kettle is of standard size, the beam for
determining the test weight per bushel
is carefully graduated and standard
ized. The funnel through which the
grain is poured has an inch and one
quarter opening and the drop consists
of two inches from the bottom of the
funnel to the top of the kettle. This is
then stocked off with a hardwood
stick having rounded eye. If this
type of equipment is made use of the
same test can be procured by all peo-
pie making the test. So important is
the test weight per bushel and since
often the test weight per bushel is one
of the chief factors in determining
wheat grades persons making their
own tests should follow closely such
method.
"A modified apparatus for use al
country points has been designed by
the department of agriculture known
as the Cox funnel and consists of a
tunnel CIRCULATION size) which sits
upon the kettle by means of standards
and which has drop of two inches
from the bottom of the funnel to the
top of the kettle. This has proven
satisfactory and uniform results can
be expected with such apparatus"
