RAISES 400 BUSHELS
CORN ON 3s4 ACRES
Canyon County Farmer Demonstrates
Remarkable Adaptability for Pro-
duction of Grain; Worth $672.

A demonstration of Canyon coun-
TVS remarkable adaptability for the
production of corn was made last year
by Thomas Conroy, one of the most
highly prosperous and progressive
farmers of the Riverside community
who raised 400 bushels on three and
three-fourths acres of land, an axer-
age yield per acre of 100 2-3 bushels.
At prevalent prices Mr.. Conroy's corn
crop was worth $672 or a revenue of
nearly $3.50 for each acre of land he
had in corn.
He does not pretend to say that all
conditions in this state are as favorable
for the production of this product as
in the leading corn states. of the mid
die west and the south. but he does
claim that through the perfect accli-
nation of seed to this state wonderful
progress is being made by the farmers
of the Boise valley in the production
of we'll matured corn of a superior
type and that the success which has
been made in their efforts the past few
years shows the production of corn
will become more general throughout
the valley and that its yield per acre
is even now greater than is secured in
leading corn states.
So far as producing corn for silage
purposes, it is we'll known fact that
Idaho leads all her sisters states.

Seldom has an order emanated from

| Seldom has an order emanated from
the White House so utterly devoid OF
tact and human understanding as that
relating to the silver chevron. The
fact that there is difference in color
between the service chevrons of the
stay-at-homes and the gold decora-
tons of the fighters from France is of
no consequence. They are of pre-
cisely the same shape and size and
worn in the same place on the left
sleeve. One cannot be told from the
other a short distance. In effect the
| stay-at-homes are given insignia that
are practically the same as those be-
slowed on our heroes from across the
seas. Moreover hardly a single men,
Der of our expeditionary forces has
been in France as long as l8 months
emitting him to wear three stripes on
his sleeve. But in Washington there
are scores of officers and enlisted
men who have been sitting in front of
a desk that length of time, and whose
sleeves are respondent accordingly.
There may be few who gain salts
faction in parading the fact that they
have been year or more in the mill
tary service at home, even though
they did not get an opportunity to go
to France, but it is a fact that most
of the men who were compelled to re-
main at home have enough sense of
the proprieties to hold the silver
chevron in disdain and refuse to wear
it were they not compelled to do so.
THE silver chevron is hooted," con-
tinues the Times. "it invites the jeers
of the unthinking multitude, and it
accomplishes not one of the purposes
for which it was invented" We hope
that an mixing of the feeling occas-
toned by his action will reach Mr..
Wilson nParis and cause him to
rescind the order that has so offened-
ed the self-respect of our military men
who were kept on this side of the
water.

parma Review

VI al IND NCVlCW)
The interest Parma people are TAX
ing in hearing the experiences of
their boys who have been in actual
service in the last great battles of
the war, will lead them to read the
following account of the work of Ell
lis Bates in France with special at
tention. His father, M. A. Bates,
wrote of Ellis to Parma friends as
follows:
after the Argonne campaign
which he. came through all right, but
with loss of seventy per cent of his
regiment, they were shifted to Fland-
ers and took part in the fighting
around Audenarde between October
Il and November S, when they with
drew to rest camp. They were just
going in again when the armistice was
signed. Since that time they have
been attached to King Albert's army
and have been with him in his entry
into the evacuated Belgian cities. He
has been in command if his company
since the Argonne, being the only one
of his company officers left. And he
has not been in the hospital and has
not been killed"

FIELD MICE GET AFTER
YOST CHERRY ORCHARD
en- eridian Times.)

Field mice have proved very de-
structive to the Harry Yost cherry or
cahrd located on the intcrurban four
miles east of Meridian. The eight
acres of trees have been ruined by
these pests.
Mr.. Yost was called away and left
his orchard in charge of man who
apparently did not understand the
danger from mice in the winter time.
1t is said the mice are particularly
bad each seven years-and this was
the fateful year. Experts say if the
trees are looked after, and trash and
leaves removed. the mice do not bur-
row and make their nests. The cleared
space also gives an opportunity for
the English sparrow to catch the
mice
The destruction of the Yost orchard
is to be regretted-as particularly at
charry blossom time, it was one of
the show places of the valley.

People in Washington are begin

there would seem to be no necessity
for such aimless wandering through

to look as though it was a means for
giving relief to favored officers from

them into the air for days rest. The

How to Keep Wages Up.

High wages and high standards of
living have always been peculiarly doc
trines of the Republican party. Re-
publcans have consistently supported
the policy of not throwing the Ameri-
can workmen into competition with
the workmen of foreign countries who
are willing to work for lower wages
and maintain lower standards of
living. If we could only get the
Democrats to come to the support of
such policies, there would be COM
paratively little difficulty in making
sure that wartime wages will not he
cut any more than absolutely neces-
sary.
Rollocking With Royalty.
There was general agreement
among Londoners," reads the account

English capital, "that no visiting head

prominent in the line being the Grim
son-coated beef-eaters from the Tower
of London, armed with ancient
halberds, who appear on every occas-
ion OF royal pomp. Following the
parade Mr. and Mrs. Wilson appeared
on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
with the King and Queen, and re-
celved the plaudits Of the multitude.
Life at the White House will seem
prosaic indeed after all this pomp and
ceremony, but the people at home will
relieve him from it two years hence.
and permit Mr. Wilson to renew for
an indefinite period the royal ac-
quaintances who, according to CEN
sored cables, are flocking to him on
his present tour of triumph.
