interest is especially strong in the
irrigated sections of the southern
part of the state, where this tree is
especially adapted to windbreak and
woodlot planting. The demand for
lack locust was unusually large last
year, and the entire stock of the
School of Forestry was snapped up
within few days after the spring
announcements were made Induced
by the heavy demand, the School has
this season grown a greatly increased
supply in, the hope of being able to
fill all orders the coming spring.
Owing to its rapid growth, and
great durability in contact with the
soil, black locust is very valuable
tree to grow for fence posts. 1t is
also excellent wood for farm repairs.
A circular descriptive of the tree, and
giving full Instructions for planting
and growing it will be issued little
later.

DAIRY SHORT COURSE
STARTS OCTOBER 10
Good Opportunities for Trained
Dairymen

Increased facilities in dairying will
DE at the disposal of those students
who desire to take advantage of the
University of Idaho Short Course in
Dairying to be offered at the Uni
versity from October 10 to March IL.
Professor E. F, Goss, recently re-
turned from an extensive tour of
eastern plants, will train the students
in the latest commercial methods be-
ing used in the large eastern firms.
The students will have the benefit
of instruction in the very latest
methods of butter, cheese and ice
cream making, as well as much work
in by-products which has not before
been given so much attention.
The buttermaking laboratories of
the Department of Dairy Husbandry
are equipped with both continuous
and vat pasteurizers, two types of
churns and other necessary machin-
cry for the manufacture of butter ac-
cording to approved factory methods.
Both factory tub and brine freezers
are provided for ice cream making.
Refrigc ration is furnished by an
amonia plant of five tons capacity.
The usual watts, presses, ETC., are pro-
vided for making the different kinds
of cheese. Equipment is provided TO
make chemical and psychological
examinations Of milk and its pro-
ducts as well as the usual creamery
tests.
"The department of Dairy Hus-
bandry has been able to place its
graduates in well paying positions"
said Professor Goss. "The slight
expense involved in attending the
is no tuition and the
cost of books is slight-and the OPP
portunities it offers to students who
are not sufficiently prepared to
enter University work make it an
excellent opportunity for young men
and women to improve the slack
hours of the winter and prepare for
better positions than they hold at
present"

Pure Bred Livestock. What Is 1t?

III cuISu. "A puT6DT6Q animal Is
one of pure breeding representing a
definite, recognized breed and both of
whose parents were purebred animals
of the same breed. To be considered
purebred, live stock must be either
registered, eligible to registration, or
Gin the absence of public registry for
that class) have such lineage that its
pure breeding can be definitely
proved To be of epod type and quail
ity, the animal must be healthy,
vigorous, and creditable specimen
of it's breed.
Thoroughbred: The term ssthor-i
oughbred" applies accurately only to.
the breed of running horses eligible
to registration in the General Stud
Book of England, the American Stud
Book, or affiliated Stud Books for
thoroughbred horses in other coun-
tries.
Scrub: A scrub is an animal of
mixed Or unknown breeding without
definite type or markings. Such
terms as native, mongrel, razorback,
piney woods, cayuse, bron-
cho, and mustang are somewhat
synonymous with Scrub, although
many of the animals described by
these terms have certain fixity Of
type even though they present no
evidence of systematic improved
breeding.
Grade: A grade is the offspring
resulting from mating a purebred
with scrub, or from mating animals
not purebred, but having close pure
bred ancestors. The offspring of a
purebred and a grade is also a grade,
but through progressive improve
nent becomes high grade.

Forest Management at Hepburn Park
Installed By Dean F. G. Miller

Dean F. G. Miller, of the School of
Forestry, University of Idaho, has
recently returned from Payette Lake
where he has spent the most of the
summer with a party of foresters in
making a reconnaissance study of the
state timber holdings adjacent to the
lake. He has also acted as state
agent i'll charge of logging operations
now in progress on the state lands
there. He is also acting as technical
adviser to the state department of
public work in the management of
Hepburn Park. This park comprises
some twelve thousand acres, about
eight thousand acres of which are
timber lands. Part of the timber has
been sold and is being harvested up-
der a system of regulated culling.
The scientific forest management,
introduced by the state land board at
Payette Lake and by the department
of public works at Hepburn Park,
constitute an important innovation in
the handling of state timber lands,
according to Dean Miller, and indi-
cate belief that similar plans will
soon be adopted for the management
Of all timber holdings controlled by
the state. These holdings are the
of the youth of Idaho, and
have a value estimated conservatively
at thirty millions of dollars. -.

BUSHEL MEASURE MORE
4. STANDARD THAN SACK

Many growers, particularly in the
territory where field seeds and crops
are sold commonly by the sack ask
why the United States Department
of Agriculture estimates crop pro-
duction by bushel measure instead of
by sack Or hundredweight. The rea-
son is that 9O,OOO,000 people in 40
States of the Union think, talk, and
measure by bushels, the bushel being
the standard unit of measure through
out this area. The bushel measure is
definite, and Congress and the States
have stabilized it and specified the
number of pounds of different COM
modities legally constituting a bushel
The census figures of crop production
have all been reduced to bushels for
all commodities for which legal
weights have been used and doubtless
will be used until different unit of
measure has been adopted.
Sacks Not Standard
A sack-the unit of measure in
some sections-is not definite and can
not be made so, except by legal en-
actment, standardizing the volume and
then, in turn, standardizing the weight
per volume for the different commo-
dities. Oranges and apples are
thought about and talked about in
boxes, dried fruits in pounds or tons,
and it is doubtful if custom will per-
nit of a material change In handl-
ing green fruits in large quantities
the ton is the most practical unit of
measure, but for small quantities the
lug box is in general use. AS the lug
box varies in size from 80 to 40 and
SO to go pounds, there is more or less
confusion unless market quotations |
are made on the basis of lug boxes of |
specified sizes.
The GENITAL or hundredweight ap-
pears to be the most practical unit /
Of measure and is coming into gen /
eral use in the purchase and sale of
grains and vegetables. If the bulk /
handling of grain becomes general,
as now seems likely, the sack will
disappear, and the Genital or bushel
will take it's place.
Bushel Weights Used
The following weights per bushel
are used by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture in all estimates
of crop production:
Apples, 48 pounds; beans (dried),
so pounds; clover seed, so pounds;
corn (shelled), Sc pounds; corn, on
cob, 70 pounds; oats, 80 pounds;
peaches, 48 pounds; pears, 48 pounds;
rye, Sc pounds; tomatoes, Sc pounds;
grain sorghum. SIS pounds; onions, 81
peanuts. % pounds; potatoes,

Jew Head for Home Economics
Department

Miss Katherine Jensen, recently
professor of home economics at the
North Dakota Agricultural College,
has been named head of the Univers-
ity of Idaho Home Economics De-
partment to succeed Jessie M. Hoov-
er, who resigned in 1918 to enter fed
eraI work.
Miss Jensen, who received her
master of science degree from the
University. of Illinois and who also
has studied at Columbia, comes
recommended as an authority in her
particular field, an effective speaker
and capable extension worker. She
is now in Alaska and probably will
not report at the University until
the second college semester.
