N. WILLIAMSON GOT So BUSH
ELS OF JENKINS CLUB PER
ACRE ON HIS FARM.

A yield of SO bushels of Jenkins
Club wheat per acre was obtained on
the Ennis farm of N. Williamson, one
mile north of Moscow, from a field of
II acres. Mr.. Williamson sold the
wheat for $2.06 per bushel and got
a check for $1285.65, or considerably
more than $100 per acre for the
wheat. Mr.. Williamson says there is
less than II acres and put the field at
between 10 and IL. acres" which
would make the returns more than
$125 per acre for a single crop. The
wheat was sold in bulk and delivered
from the thresher to the elevator of
the Farmrs Union, in Moscow. Mr..
Williamson kept enough wheat for
seed out of the crop. The wheat test
ed 81 pounds to the bushel.

his Farview farm of 600 acres be-

planted more than 200 acres to alfal-
ia and sowed SO pounds of peas as a
nurse crop" last spring. He has cut
and sacked the peas for hay, getting
more than 11a tons per acre, of choice
hay as the peas were cut when quite
green. He says he has good stand
of alfalfa and the entire field is
green and makes splendid pasture
now. The alfalfa grew so tall that he
got a considerable amount of it with
the peas when they were harvested
for hay, some of the alfalfa being
more than 12 in. high at that time.
He sowed 13 pounds of alfalfa and
two pounds Of timothy per acre with
his peas.

DAVIS PROCL|AMS
MONDAY LABOR DNY
GOVERNOR OF IDAHO RECOG-
NIZES CLAIMS OF LABOR TO
ANNUAL HOLIDAY,

Next Monday, September 6, will be
labor day in Idaho, as well as ma.
| tional holiday. Governor Davis has
issued the following proclamation tc
that effect:
Because American workers consti-
tute the best type of citizenship, be-
cause the American Toiler's unfalter-
ing fidelity to high ideals makes our
national future bright with promise
lit is altogether fitting that Congress
and the several states in their turn
should designate a day consecrated
to proper recognition of labor and the
laboring man.
Idahoans cannot be made to believe
that Bolshevism will ever threaten
our government structure, with their
serene confidence in the integrity
and good judgment of those who wrok
with their hands.
Here in the heart of the great west,
our faith in labor rests upon close as
sociation and understanding. With
US there are no invidious distinctions
between capitalist and laborer. We
are all workers for the very excellent
reason that an invigorating inviron-
ment makes US SO.
It is in a spirit of pride then, as
well as with feeling Of gratitude for
labor achievements, that I, D. w.
Davis, Govrnor of the State of Idaho.
do hereby set Monday, September 9Th,
1920, as Labor Day in the State Of
Idaho and request that throughout
the state the day be observed by
ceremonies and exercises appropri-
ately commemorating the vitally i'm
portant part labor has played and is
destined to play in the life of the
nation, and of the world.
In testimony whereof, I have here
unto set my hand, and caused the
great seal of the State of Idaho to be
at the city of Boise, the Capt. |
5ol of Idaho, this thirtieth day Of
August, 1920.
D. w. DAVIS.

AN OLD PICTURE
OF MOSCOW PEOPLE

At the University Of Idaho was re-
Gently discovered photograph of
what was evidently class of Moscow
girls, and Executive Secretary Par
sons, who discovered the photograph,
suggested to the editor of The Star
Mirror that the picture be taken to
the office Of this paper and display
ed in the window to ascertain the
story that must go with it. The pic
ture was posted in the window and
has been viewed by scores of Moscow
people. Mr. Parsons recognized one
person in it. She is now Mrs. Jerome
J. Day, but was then Miss Mix, and
evidently a school girl. Old pioneers
have spent much time studying the
picture and picking out people they
know among them. The young wo-
men and girls in the picture evident
ly ranged in age, when the picture
was taken, from 10 to 16 years. We
would like to know the history of the
picture. No doubt there is an in
teresting story in connection with it.
Will some one give us the story?

found to be in splendid condition after
the rain, which had not injured it in

worse since than before the rain. Cut

HOW MANY EGGS YOU MAY
EXPECT FROM YOUR HENS

The average novice can reasonably
expect to get an average of at least
10 dozen eggs per hen year from
his small flock in the back yard, say
poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
On the basis of two hens to each
member of the family this will give
20 dozen eggs year to each person.
which amount is about halfway be-
tween the general average of farm
and city consumption. No backyard
poultry keeper should be satisfied
with less than this. He should try.
however, to get as much more as pos
sible.
TO provide an egg day for each
person two hens would have to lay
1873 eggs each a year. This is by no
means an impossible average for
small fiocks. 1t is perhaps not too
much to say that in cases where the
person attending the flock is in po-
sition to look after the wants of the
birds, three or more times day an
average of better than 13 dozen eggs
per hen can be secured IL the hens are
mature and in good condition at the
start, and have the vitality to carry
them through year of heavy laying.
For the farm the average of 100
eggs per hen is advised as the lowest
that should be accepted as satisfac-
tory, while for the back yard 100 Is
insisted upon as the lowest average,
although in general the conditions in
back yards are less favorable to pout I
try keeping than on farms.

AMERICAN CLASS POULTRY
POPULAR IN THIS COUNTRY

In the American class of poultry
are found the Plymouth Rock, Wyan-
dotte, Java, Dominique, Rhode Island
Red, and Buckeye.
The fowls OF these breeds are COM
monty called general-purpose fowls,
because they are not only good egg
producers. but their carcasses are
also we'll suited for the table. They
are therefore the best breeds for the
general farm fiocks of chickens, say
poultry specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
They are In good favor, too. with tho
poultry packers on account of their
table qualities.
All the American breeds lay brown
shelled eggs. They all have yellow
skins, and shanks free from feathers.
which are desirable qualities for
table fowl in this country. In size
they are intermediate between the
smaller egg breeds, such as the Leg
horns. and the larger meat breeds
such as the Brahmas. In tempera-
ment they are also intermediate.
being less active than the egg breeds,
but more 50 than the meat breeds.
They are fairly good faragers. The
American-class birds mature earlier
than the meat breeds. but not SO
quickly AS the egg breeds. They are
sitters and make good mothers.

IDAHO BOYS AND GIRLS HOLD
LIVE FAIR OF THEIR OWN

Boy and girl club members of Idaho
held their own fair within a fair
this year as a part of the state event.
They occupied four large tents and
three livestock sheds in their own
section of the fair grounds display
ing 179 calves, sheep and pigs, most
of them purebred; more than 500 aX-
hibits of canned fruit, vegetables, and
meats; about $50 samples of sewing;
and numerous exhibits of farm and
garden crops.
The boys and girls, to the number
of 1862, occupied a large, two-story
dormitory, built for them on the fair
grounds, and took their meals in a
specially constructed mess hall adj
joining. They were winners Of DEM
onstration and Judging contests, or
otherwise representatives of the best
unijor extension work done in II
southern Idaho counties that have
organized club work. The trip to the
state fair was their reward.
Dedication of these two buildings
as Camp Mccall" was a feature oc
the fair program. A fund of SIS, 900
for construction of this camp was
raised in a campaign conducted by
the boy and girl club workers of the
University of Idaho extension divi-
sion. The expenditure of approx
mately 100000 leaves $1,000 toward
erection of second dormitory which
will be required to complete the
camp.
| Fifty-eight prizes in the open class
es were won by the calves, pigs, and
sheep of the club members in compe-
btion with the best breeders of Idaho
and other states. The grand cham
pion Poland-China boar of the fair
was boys club pig, bred. raised, and
exhibited by Harvey Wolfe, of Mann
pa, Idaho.

may have just received at his store
Under present conditions the best
thing the consumer can do is to avoid
buying eggs at stores which are OBJ
viously careless in handling them
telling the retailer just why he does
not buy eggs at his store. He shout |
also call the attention of the retaile"
to any bad eggs bought of him. The
pressure which can thus be eXerted
by the consumer can be made an i'm
portant factor in bringing about a
much needed improvement in the
handling Of eggs by retailers.
