FARM PAPER BOOSTS
FOR SHORT COURSE
URGES EVERY YOUNG FARMER
WHO POSSIBLY CAN DO so
TO ATTEND THEM.
(The Idaho Farmer)

Thousands of farmers in the North
west, especially the young men, are
allowing q wonderful opportunity to
pass by unaccepted. 1t is the oppor-
tunity to attend college and take up
of agriculture in which they may be
most directly interested.
1t is not necessary that one take a
regular four-year course in college,
though that is fine thing when it
can be done In fact, it is being done
by large number of young men
every year, for many students in the
colleges of the northwest are return
ing directly to the farm after gradu-
alton to put into practice the things
that they have learned. But large
numbers who are not so situated as to
be able to attend the full four years,
or even one full year, can and should
attend during the winter months when
short courses are offered These short
courses afford wonderful opportunity
to gain useful information. They take
up all manner of farm subjects-ani-
NAL husbandry, soils, dairying, farm
gas engines, poultry, cr
charding, home management and
many others.
The cost of these short courses is
not excessive. 1t is as low as possible
to enable the college to meet the ex-
penses. If 700 are interested, write to
the University of Idaho, Moscow, at
once for information concerning the
courses offered.

PEOPLE OF NORWAY
BOYCOTT AMERICA
FORMER MOSCOW CITIZEN RE-
TURNING FROM THERE TELLS
OF ACTION TAKEN.

"Buy nothing from u S. A. until
our money is worth 100 cents on the
dollar there"
That this placard is posted in
stores, on bill boards and in conspici-
GUS places throughout Norway as a
part of the campaign to boycott the
United States, which is charged with
being largely responsible for depre-
citation of Norwegian money in ex-
change, is the statement of N Oleson,
who has just returned to Moscow
from Norway after more than years
absence.
To Moscow friends Mr. Oleson sta
ted that it is difficult to secure Amer
lean made goods in Norway, due to
the boycott which deters merchants
from importing goods from this coun-
try. AS evidence of the depressing eff
feet the high exchange rate is having
on business Mr.. Oleson stated that he
bought his ticket in Norway direct to
Moscow, through Canada, for just half
what it would have cost him to come
to Moscow via New York and over
American railroads AS a result of
this high exchange rate the United
States is losing millions of dollars in
business in European countries, he
stated.
He pointed out that, with the high
exchange rate charged those coun-
tries, if wheat hadremained So per
bushel here, the cost of the wheat, de-
livered in Europe, with the deprecated
currency of those countries, it would
be so high no one could afford to buy
it. AS a result substitutes for Amer
lean wheat are being used
Mr. Oleson farmed near Moscow for
many years, but nearly two years ago
he returned to his native country for
a visit, with the intention of remain
ing there if conditions suited him. He
found them so changed that he
Ionged for America and the west
again and has returned, bringing a
brother with him They expect to re-
main here permanently
