IDAHO CROPS ARE
IN GOOD CONDITION
CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR ALL
KINDS OF CROPS IN STATE
THIS WEEK

BOISE.-The week was marked by
mild temperatures throughout. Light
rain occurred on one to three days
quite generally, except in the middle
Snake river valley, but there was not
enough to interfere materially with
farm work which went steadily for
ward. In fact it was the most favor
able week for the advance Of vegeta-
ton and the progress of all lines of
farm work that has been experienced
so far this season. In some of the
higher valleys where the snow is just
disappearing and in some of the nor
thern counties where rains have been
most abundant farm work is a little
backward.
The seeding of spring wheat is still
going on; as the season advances and
the ground in the higher valleys clears
of snow and dries out this work ad-
vances from the lower and earlier val
leys into the later districts of the
eastern and northern counties. In the
early sown field, wheat is growing
nicely being favored by temperature
and soil moisture conditions. Condi-
tions are equally favorable for winter
wheat which is coming along in ex-
C0lI00C shape III u1OSC lOCdliIloS. NS-
ports from Kootenai county indicate
that some fields are being damaged by
wireworms A large acreage of oats
is being sown in Benewah county un-
der very favorable conditions; earlier
sown fields in Canyon and Payette
counties are coming up to nice even
stand Barley is reported good.
The warm weather and occasional
showers proved very beneficial to
meadows and pastures and grass crops
are improving satisfactorily. In the
irrigated sections watering has begun;
in Jerome county this work is being
done on a considerable scale but in
other districts it is not yet general.
Grass on the low range is growing
fast; much of the high range is still
under snow. Livestock are doing well.
Weather conditions were very favor
able for lambing and shearing.
1t was fine week for fruit. There
was abundant sunshine by day and
little, if any, frost at night. Peaches
and sweet cherries are about through
blooming but apples, prunes, and sour
cherries are in full bloom. Early po-
tatoes are being planted. Seeding of
sugar beets is we'll under way and
seed beets are being planted in the
Idaho Falls section. Beet planting
is also being pushed in the Kimberly
and Burley districts.

rise to these new impulses and fulfill

MOSCOW SLOW IN
VICTORY LOAN DRIVE
TOWN HAS MUCH LESS THAN
THIRD OF ITS QUOTA SUB
SCRIBED-COUNTY LAGS

Moscow and Latah county are far
behind in their subscriptions to the
Victory Loan. The entire county has
less than 100000 subscribed, which
is less than one-third of its quota.
Moscow is further behind than the
county. Up to date not a single flag
for "going over the top" has been
sent to Latah county community or
district.
PalOuse, which has always given
more than its quota, is giving the wild
est publicity to subscribers and slack
ers in that section. The names of all
men subscribing is given, with the
amounts subscribed and their
quotas if they give more or less than
their quota In the last issue of the
Palouse Republic appears the names
of a number of men who took less
than their quotas and a number of
men who oversubscribed, the quota
fixed for them being given in each
case.

Want a Country Club.

Talk of country club for Moscow
is being revived. 1t has been sug-
gested that Moscow citizens form a
club, buy 10 or 20 acres of land near
Moscow mountain and fit up club
with golf links, tennis court, shoot
ing grounds and a recreation park.
There are a number of ideal sites for
such a club and it has been suggested
by a prominent Moscow merchant
that if such a club were formed it
would draw many persons from Pull
man, Palouse, Genesee and other
towns. 1t will probably be brought
up at the chamber of commerce
luncheon next week.

flu, so got bus and went out to the
home of another son, j. C. Getzen,
who lives on 40 acre grove just be-
yond the city limits. Lakeland is a
thriving inland town in Polk County,
with paved roads all over the county.
They took US in a 60-mile auto trip
down near Atlantic coast. Roads are
so smooth it did not take US long.
Passed through Barlow, Ft. Meade,
Bowling Green, Wauchula, Zolfo and
Arcadia. Saw between Zolfo and Ar
cadia a herd of about 500 sheep. All
cattle run out on the range.
At Lakeland I watched a privately
owned airship go up for three even
ings and also come dow. One could
take an hours ride for $500. A
good many paid the price and came
back o. k, but I didn't care to take
the trip.
We went to see another 40 acre
grove of Mr. J. C. Getzen's near Bar
tow, which he had just paid $45,OOO
for last summer. Trees were loaded
with green fruit, and it doesn't turn
yellow until cold weather. We stop
ped at the home of Rev. Entzminger,
who taught at Edgefeld also at Plum
Branch. His mother was visiting him.
Left Lakeland in an auto for
Clearwater, on the gulf. Passed
through Plant City, Tampa, Safety
Harbor, oldsmar, Tarpon Spring and
Dunedin. We travelled over 800 miles
of the Dixie Highway, most of it
brick.
After our stay in Clearwater with
Mrs. Thomas Hamilton, a grand
daughter of Captain Getzen, we re-
turned to Ft. White. Here we are on
the front piazza looking at the squir-
rels running up and down the trees.
There are a variety of trees in the
yard, orange, pecan, palmetto, cam
phor, magnolia, banana, live oak,
etc. There is one live oak six feet in
diameter.
l forgot to say while in Lakeland
that l hunted with my old friend, F.
b. Day. Found him quite busy get
ting two houses ready for tourists.
One was a 12-room house and the
other a 16-room house. P. B. said he
could plough all day yet. He had
been preparing land the week before
to set out very large grove.
Now, my friend julie, 1 have al
ready written more than l expected,
and am expecting Dr. Adams wife to
soon return home with US, so I'll say
to my friend in Edgefeld county that
/ have had quite a pleasant trip.

Big Problem on Their Hands.
Kentucky distillers and former sa-
loon proprietors are in more than a
peck of trouble. They have 3S,O00,-
600 gallons of whiskey valued at
.S4OO, 100000 wholesale, stored in
government warehouses and the on
ly avenue of disposing of it open to
them is that of exporting the fiery
fluid and that has to be done by JAN
uary 16, the date fixed for constitu-
tional prohibition. Even if they had
foreign orders now in hand, suffi-
cient number of vessels could not be
engaged to transport the liquor. 1t
now appears that these vampires,
otherwise known as whiskey mag
mates, will lose heavily. Well, they
will not actually lose so much, as the
first cost of the whiskey is nothing
like the price demanded, but they
will fail to realize their hundreds of
millions for the stuff. One can have
but little sympathy for them,

we seriously question whether g ma

city are proud of him.
Let us hope that all strikes will
have been settled by the New Year

Notwithstanding their majority in
the Senate and House, if the Repub-

chance he comes out on top.
