lative to the effect grades have been
established and advertised all over
the United States on Idaho potatoes,
hay, grain, apples, prunes and ber-
ries; that the Idaho farmer has been
protected with market reports in the
form of regular bulletin service;
that capable individuals have been IL
censed to weigh grain at the various
ware houses in the state; that grades,
inspections and tests have been made
for all species of grain; that suffi-
cient inspectors have been put In the

fraudulent dealings have been pre-
ferred and that VIGOROUS campaigns
have been launched against both ami

1t is our DESIRE" declared Com
missioner Cannon recently, TO pro-
tect the farmer adequately from the
time he puts his seed in the ground
to the moment he receives his check
for his produce. If we are able to
pursue this policy successfully. we
Will feel amply repaid for our eff

Despite an increase of almost 100
per cent work previously done by the
several agricultural and livestock
boards and bureaus, the present de-
partment of agriculture is pursuing
the even tenor of it's greatly ampli-
fled way on exactly the same approp-
ration made for the use of the old
boards, an economy which again re-
suited from the benefit of co+ordin-
alton.
Administered by secretary OF state
r. o. Jones, an initial saving of the
salary which otherwise would have
been paid a commissioner, the depart
ment of law enforcement embraces
three distinct bureaus, that are pre-
sided over by the fish and game war
den, the state license bureau and the
so-called bureau of constabulary.
'Profiting, perhaps, by the sad ex-
perience of recent administration
Game Warden Otto M. Jones has in
stalled new system of accounting
which assures accurate reports on all
sales of licenses. In July of the cur
rent year, receipt from fish and/game
licenses totaled $4,000 a sum more
imam double the best record achieved
in any month of 1918. Confident
predictions have been made that
twice as many licenses will be sold
this year as were disposed of in the
year OF the bourbon exodus.

of the professional practice acts are
the principal duties of the bureau of
license. Until the Davis plan became
operative, these functions were ex-
ercised by distinct boards. each with
Its own executive head and clerical
helpers.
