IDAHO PRODUCES
GOOD GRADE SEED
University Has Successfully
Grown Seeds

That Idaho can produce seeds
fully as good as imported seed and
able to compete with those grown
in other sections of the United
States" is the opinion of Professor
e. G. Vincent of the UnIersity hor-
ticultural department after COM
pleting experiments in garden seed
production on the University Farm
at Moscow. "These Investigations
were initiated with object of deter
mining the possibility of growing
vegetable seeds in Idaho and have
been in progress for several years."
according to professor Vincent.
tine scope of the work was enlarg-
ed in 1919 to include such crops as
the sugar beet, rutabaga. cabbage.
sweet corn, pumpkin, squash. Gu
cumber, snap bean. carrot, lettuce,
radlsh. parsnips, turnips and Kohl
Rabi. These crops are all grown
without irrigation.
"The results SO far have been
most encouraging. Climate con-
ditions are apparently extremely
favorable and with good seed stock
to start with Idaho growers can do
much in producing seeds tor the
general market. Anyone interest
ed IN seed growing should pay par
tlcular attention to the selection
Of types. Plants should be care
fully studied in the held and all
undesirable ones removed. BY US
ing care IN making selections one
can grow strains of seeds that will
meet ready demand in the open
market.

Friday evening. Most of the teach
ers arrived Sunday, every incoming
train being loaded with them. They
were met at the stations by auto
mobiles and taken to the high
school building where they were
registered and assigned to their
rooms. The homes of Moscow were
thrown open to them and the work
of the committees soliciting rooms
was so successful that more rooms
than were needed were secured.
The teachers are being located in
the homes nearest to the high school
building, which stands in the block
adjoining the Methodist chur ch and
the sessions are being held in these
two buildings.
Preparations for feeding the
teachers were as successful as those
providing rooms and the visitors
have their cholce of five places in

resigned some time ago as manager
of the Company's business here, is
again located at his yard IN the
northeast part of town. He has a
large amount of shopworK on hand
and expects to handle this class Of

No Market for Prunes

C.. &. Compton and son, Stuart,
had made arrangements to handle
the local prune crop this season.
When quotations tor prunes began
to come in from outside points it
was found that the market was
"shot to pieces" The increased
railroad rates made prices to con-
sumers prohibitive. consequently
there will be hundreds of tons..Of
fine prunes wasted as the drying
facilities here are not convenient
enough to make it profitable to dry
all of the crop. The price that
could be paid to the producers IN
this locality for the green prunes
would hardly pay for the picking
and hauling.

From The Climate State

The following letter was received
the first of the week from a former
PotIatcher who is homesick and
won't admit IT:
Oakland, Cal.
have seen from the Gazette that
few tourists from the Potlatch
tried to give California a black eye,
but judge that from the way they
flew through on the main highway
they didn't see California at all.
We have been here three years
now and enjoy every day: We
would not come back to the Pot
latch at any price on account OF
climate. and road conditions. While
we always have, and do yet, boost
the Potiatch as to general farming,
it cannot compete with California
in general, as to industrial, fruit,
flowers, parks in cities as we'll as
in the mountains.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Schultz cal
led on us a short time ago from
Long Beach. They have been here
two years and feel as we do as to
the difference between the Potlatch
and California. We went through
some of the nearby gardens and
orchards and even they were sur
prised to see the beautiful places.
Yours truly,

Barbecue and Free Lunch

The Fred b. Grlnnell Company
which is conducting the Bondhold-
ers' Sacrifice Sale of the remaining
acreage in Lewiston Orchards, has
announced a barbecue and free
lunch at noon at the West End Pack
ing House, where the sale of tracts
will begin promptly at 1:3O p. m.
From the interest already shown
it is certain there will be one OF the
biggest crowds ever gathered IN
Lewiston on that day. The resid-
ents in the surrounding territory
realize that this is an exceptional
chance to get one of these tracts at a
very low price. The unusual school
facilities at Lewiston also appeal
very strongly to them.
Applications to date are more
numerous from the outside towns
than from Lewiston itseIf. coming
from Nez Perce, Culdesac. SIicka-
poo, Anatone, Moscow, etc. In
qulries have been received from all
over the Northwest and as far East
as Minnesota.
Saturday will be busy day, as
a great many from the outside are
planning to make their selections
at that time. According to the
terms of the sale nothing will be
sold until 1:3O p. m, and the mar
who selects his piece Saturday will
stand just as good chance as any
other applicant.
i Sale will be held regardless o1
weather conditions. II it is a nice
day Lewiston will undoubtedly hav.
one of the largest crowds in its his
ltory. '>..'T

Major Joseph Faulkner, in charge
of The Salvation Army's Industrial

Single men seeking refuge in the

this by the fact that married men

Faulkner. Something stiles the

nothing has ever entered his life to
develop his spark of ambition

"The few married men that

Many a horse becomes incurably

some trouble in the fore feet. Do not
try to economic in the shOeing Of
your horses. Go to the best horse

his own way. Have your horse shod
at least once in four weeks Avoid
long calks. The higher the foot is
raised from the ground, the worse for
the foot. See that the shoe is big
enough, and at the heels a little too
big for the foot. See that your
horses feet are kept subsequently,
in long spell of dry weather. Re-
move his shoes ifehe stands in for n

FEEDING FOWLS FOR PROFIT
ing Maturity Before Commence
ment of Cold Season.

The first rule for getting a good
profit from poultry is to get the chicks
Matched early. and the next is to keep
them g*owing so that they will reach
laying maturity before the commence
ment of cold weather. There is no
profit in keeping a chicken just alive,
whether it is intended for laying stock
or for the market. One reason why
more care should be exercised in feed
ing fowls is that the chicks know less
about what is good for them than do
the fowls. The healthy chick is a
hungry thing and will eat what is
given it; the digestive organs being
weak are less able to dispose of OBJ
jectionable feed than are those of old
en- fowls.
Young chicks should he fed a little
at a time and often, poultry special
lists in United States department of
agriculture say. They should he fed
early in the morning and just before
going to bed at night. and not less
than three times in the intervening
period For the first two weeks they
may be fed three meals of soft feed
and two of hard, and after that age
two of soft and three Of hard, less
soft feed being fed as they grow old
err. No more moistened soft feed
should be given at one time than they
will eat up clean.

WHERE THEY WOULD BE LOST

Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Mon

luxurious motor car makes more noise
than an airplane, and in the clatter
and noise one usually sits with closed
eyes until whiZzed through to the 9TH

however, two deaf mutes, utterly I'M
conscious of the din, sat converslng
easily on the front seat. Senator
Walsh watched their fingers fly, fas-
cinated. Leaning over to his secre-
tary, he yelled in his good ear /:

SUDAN GRASS is
IMPORTANT CROP
Now Being Successfully Grown
in Nearly All Parts of the
United States.
HAS SHORT GROWING SEASON
Gaining Popularity Because of Its
Ability to Produce Fair Yield of
Hay Under Conditions of
Low Rainfall.

Ten years after it's Introduction to
the United States from Khartum, Afri-
ca, Sudan grass was being success
fully grown in nearly all parts of the
United States. 1t does not serve well
either as a money crop" or a soil i'm
proven, hence it may never find a
permanent place in regular crop rota
lions. 1t has, nevertheless, very i'm
portant place in the farmers second
line of defense as a catch crop which
can be planted to give satisfactory
returns when conditions have brought
failure to other hay crops. This is
the verdict pronounced by the United
States department of agriculture in
Farmers Bulletin 1126 recently is
sued.
Sudan grass is replacing millet as
the premier catch crop in many local
tiles because of its ability to produce
a fair yield and a high quality of
hay under conditions of low rainfall !;
its rather short growing season, and
its ability to thrive on a wide range
of soil types. Large yields of Sudan
grass are obtained only on good soils,
but the grass fails completely only on
cold, poorly drained land.
Sudan Grass Produces Heavily.
In California under irrigation Sudan
grass has made yields of 0.S tons of
field-Cured hay an acre, when alfalfa
produced but S,3 tons under like con-
ditions; it ordinarily yields about the
same as alfalfa under irrigation in
the Southwest but Sudan grass gives
its full crop in three cuttings against
the four or five required for alfalfa.
1t is the only grass vet found which
in this part of the United States ranks
as the equal of alfalfa in point of
yield and quality of the hay. It's rec
ord in this respect has led to its use
in patching" old alfalfa fields when
the stand of alfalfa has been de-
stroyed. In the southern great plains
where there is a low rainfall, Sudan
grass grown without irrigation will
yield from one to three tons of hay to
the acre.
There are certain parts of the
United States where the department
of agriculture considers it unwise to
depend on Sudan grass for hay. This
is true of the strip of territory 200
miles wide along the northern
boundary; the regions of high alti-
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1920-09-02

tudeS in the western states; and also
most of Florida and a narrow strip of
land along the gulf coast. Low tenn
peratur2S prevent success with the
grass in the first two regions named,
and disease is the limiting factor
along the gulf coast. In a majority Of
the central and southern states, how
ever. climatic and soil conditions are
favorable to Sudan grass.
Although Sudan grass is best adapt
ed by nature to use as a hay crop, it
is also used with great success as a
SOiling and pasture crop for summer
pastures. Its use as silage mate
rial is limited by the fact that it is
easily made into my and fed as such
with very little waste, and also be-
cause corn and sorghum both outyield
It and are generally available through
out the region where Sudan grass is
grown.
High Feeding Value.
The feeding value of Sudan grass
is equal to timothy fay. In localities
where soy beans or cowpeas do well
these legumes may be grown in mix
lures with the Sudan grass Such a
mixture produces hay of higher
feeding value than the grass alone,
because Of the high protein content of
the legumes.
Sudan grass hybridizes freely with
the sOrghums. It is necessary, there
fore, if pure seed is produced, to have
the Sudan grass field at some distance
from any sorghums, otherwise it will
result in mongrel crop the follow
ing year.
The department of agriculture's new
bulletin goes very thoroughly into the
details Of cropping, planting, harvest
ing-both for hay and for seed-as
well as the best methods OF feeding
the hay to live stock.
