w. N. THOMPSON, TROY
MERCHANT, DIES OF INJURIES

Word was received in Moscow today
that w. NJ Thompson, well known
merchant of Troy, died at 8 o'clock
this morning. Mr.. Thompson was
struck by an automobile and his back
and two ribs broken some time ago.
His condition has been critical since
the accident, but hopes were held that
he, might recover and no effort was
spared to save him. He leaves a wife
and three children, two sons and a
daughter. One of the sons was for
merly a student in the University of
Idaho. Mr.. Thompson was a pioneer
,of the Inland Empire. He was mar
ried at Oakesdale in 1893, but had
lived in Latah county, at Genesee and
Troy, for about 20 years. He was a
man of splendid principles, honest,

UNIVERSITY TEAM
GOES TO SALT LAKE
COACH BLEAMASTER TAKES HIS
BRAVES TO MORMON CITY
FOR FOOTBALL GAME

A two year contract for football
games with the University of Utah, at
Salt Lake City, has been closed by
w. G.. Bleamaster, coach and athletic
director of the University of Idaho.
The first game will be played at Salt
Lake cn Saturday, October 25. The
second game will be played next year
at Boise. This is one of the big events
in sporting circles of the university.
Coach Bleamaster is to be congratu-
lated on this stroke, which means
much i'll an advertising way, for the
University of Idaho.
A football game with Gonzago uni
versity, to be played at Spokane, will
probably be the opening game for the
University of Idaho, if Coach Blea-
master can secure a date with the
Spokane school He has asked for a
game with Gonzago for Saturday,
Oct. IL. If he gets favorable ans
wer he will begin at once to get the
team into condition for the contest
If the Gonzago game fails the first
game of the season will be played in
Moscow with the University of Ore
gon as the contesting team.
Coach Bleamaster is quite optimis-
tic over the prospects of his team
this year. He has eight of the for
mer men back on the team and may
get some more. None under sopho-
mores are allowed ON the team and >
it will consist of sophomores and
juniors with several men who were
stars last year in their old places.
The men are being put through
hard practice work whenever time
can be spared from college work.
Freshmen are not allowed on the
team because it is the opinion of the
faculty that the first year should be
devoted to study and actual school
work. Consequently only experienced
men will be enrolled on the football
team this season.
A splendid spirit seems to prevail
the students. Saturday night
a smoker and "get acquainted meet
ing was held in the gymnasium with
more than 400 young men present.
Addresses were made by President
Lindley. Professor 7. Lewis, Coach
Bleamaster and Assistant Coach
This is an annual event, s
known as the "stag bust" and the |
one Saturday night was a decided
success. 1
There was a wrestling match be-
tween the Brown brothers of Boise, \
and boxing matches between Wyman \
and Blodget and Kinney and Kern, 4
all of which were we'll staged and l

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR FARM PRODUCTS
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
GIVES SOME INTERESTING
ADVICE TO FARMERS

WASHINGTON wheat should
be sown this fall than was the aver
age in pre-war years, but not so much
should be sown as was sown last year.
This is the outstanding fall farming
recommendation of the United States
Department of Agriculture, which is
watching the changes of world supply
and demand while European countries
are getting back to normal in food
production and thus affecting the mar
ket for American products. The de-
partment's suggestions are based on
the observations of specialists who
were sent abroad to report on foreign
conditions and probable needs, and on
the most extensive reports it has been
possible to obtain from other sources
in this country and other countries.
AS to winted wheat, the department
suggests that 42,000,000 acres be sown
this fall to this crop, and that 20,000,-
900 acres be sown in 1920 to spring
wheat, making probable aggregate
PlOuQCtlOll Ill lJHUs Ol OOO,UUU,OUU UQ-
shells, of which 20O,0O0,O0O, bushels
would be available for export after
home needs are met. This production
would approximately equal the aver
age yield Of wheat in the United
State for the five years, 1915 to 1919
inclusive. The five-year average is
thought to be safe guide for Amer
ican farmers.
The suggested acreage for fall-sown
wheat is approximately 85 per cent of
the area sown in the fall of 1918 and
is about the same as was sown in the
fall of 1917. The suggested area for
spring wheat is approximately 88 per
cent of the area sown in each of the
last two years. The combined acreage
of winter and spring wheat suggested
for 1920 is about Sc per cent of the
acreage sown for the 1919 crop, slight
ly more than the acreage sown for
the bumper crop of 1915 and about 4
per cent less than the area sown for
the 1918 crop.

|. H. WOODRESS TO
STAND TRIAL HERE
MAN CHARGED WITH VARIOUS
BURGALARIES COMES BACK
TO LATAH COUNTY

L. H. Woodress, one of the pair
arrested at Pullman last week for al
legged burglaries committed in Latah
county, will not fight extradition. He
returned to Moscow Monday night
with Deputy Sheriff Summerfield,
and was placed in the Latah county
jail. He will be held for trial at the
jury term of court which begins in
November. Mrs. Woodress came with
him and spent some time in earnest
conversation with him Tuesday fore
noon. She still processes to believe
her husband innocent of crime and
seems very fond Of him
Married Month Ago.
Mrs. Woodress, whose maiden name
was Mildred Ruth Roberts, and whose
parents live near Thornton, says she
and Woodress were married about
month ago at the Methodist parson-
age in Dayton by the Methodist min
lister there. She. saw Woodress' ad-
vertisement in Spokane paper for
a "girl Or young widow who likes to
traveP' and answered the advertise
ment with the result that they were
married. They have been travelling
about the country in their house on
wheels. She belived her husband
to be what he claimed to be in the
advertisement which brought them
together, "a floating horse trader"
and he never dreamed that the
articles he accumulated on frequent
trips away from their camp, were
stolen. She does not yet believe her
husband guilty, but lays the blame to
his partner, Robert Spoiler, who is
still in the county Jail at Colfax and
will fight extradition. Mrs. Woodress
is rather intelligent and nice ap-
.pearing young woman and claims to
have taught three terms of school,
although she does not appear to be
20 years old.
More Stuff Identified.
That Woodress and Spoiler are the
burglars who visited Genesee week
ago last Thursday night and stole
articles from the Smolt and Christen-
sen garages, seems certain, for Ed.
Smolt and Mrs. Christensen have
identified articles found in the plunder
captured with these men, part of the
stuff stolen from their garages. One
of the tires on the REQ car driven by
Spoiler was identified by Mr.. Smolt
as having been taken from his car
at Genesee, while a number of robes
and blankets were identified by Mrs.
Smolt and Mrs. Christensen. G. w. |
Westersee, Of Genesee, identified an
extra tire carried on the REQ car as
one stolen from him. N. Edwards, of /
Genesee, lost an Elgin watch, stolen
from his home the night the other
articles were taken from Genesee.
Among stuff held by Sheriff Woody
are four saddles, piles of new and
used grain bags, a feather bed, piles
of bedding, blankets and robes, and
suit cases filled with all kinds of /
junk.
That the men have been stealing
and shipping the stolen loot to a

has been shipped and sold. At Pull

worth $50, and he only got SO for

literature etc. The advisory board
when possible should establish demon
stration plots on some farm, say the
County Farm, and should aid with
the agriculture and club work OF the
schools.
Of course, at present, without
further study and assistance, it is I'M
possible to tell all this bureau might
accomplish. | expect to attend the
agents meeting at Clemson College
from January 18th to 21st and there
expect to get information as to how
thebest bureaus of the state are get
ting results. At this time l shall ap-
preciate advice, comment and pub
lication you can give to aid such a
movement here in Edgefeld. The
proposition can be made of little cost
or great deal; that depends. Per-
sonally, l prefer one with little cost
attached to begin with and let this
grow. During my few years expert
ence of agriculture work, have seen
most accomplished where everybody
is behind the movement. And at
Edgefeld where there is not an ac-
tive Chamber of Commerce, this or
ganization is all the more needed !;
and such an organization will make
the agriculture work mean far more
for our county. l again refer you to
a Farmers Bureau for Edgefeld.

County Agent Work for
Edreheld

One of the best things the county
agent can do for county is to push
the pig and corn clubs. The placing
of pure bred pigs by the banks a
mong the members makes the pig
club work complete success. The
new County Agent, A. B. Carwile,
wishes to get in touch with all the
the boys and girls between the ages
of ten and eighteen who want one of
these pigs. He will visit the schools
for this purpose, but may overlook
some boy or girl. Send him your
name and address at once SO he can
get busy to find you a pig. Also the
boys who are going to grow corn,
should send in their names.
The pruning interests of the coun-
ty are now being attended. Also that
of spraying for the San Jose scale
and grubbing for the peach borers.
Mr.. Farmer, call on or write the
county agent if he can help you.

Please allow me space in your
columns to get note to the business
men and the farmers of the county in
order that / may put proposition be

field. l shall attempt to partly out
line Farmers Bureau of lnforma-
tion for the County.
Before anything can be built or es-
tablished, there must always be
starting point. Blue prints are neces-
sarv for a large building; then, let
us draw our blue prints for the agri-
culture work in the county. At all
times there is some question coming
before the farmers that needs the o.
pinions of others. There is always
some good clever information that
good farmers have to give out. These
things should be thrashed out and
assimilated at some common center.
What we need is an advisory agri-
culture board, which should hold sew
eral meeting during the year to aid
the county agents put on demonstra-
tions to bring out practical good for
the county. This should consist of
several representatives from each
community or school district, and Of
ten proves best to use the school
trustees to a great extent for this
purpose. This board should supervise
TO an extent, the agriculture work
and advise when necessary. Also,
shey should have located a clearing
house Of information at the county
seat preferably, and in prominent
place. This should be open at all
times and should be connected with
telephones that reach all communi-
ties. The county agents should have
