CROP REPORT SHOWS
WHEAT CONDITION GOOD

There was a slight decline In
spring wheat prospects from August
/, according to the Idaho crop report
for September, due to the long
drought holding over into the first
twenty days of that month. A con-
dition of SO per cent at harvest time
forecasts a crop of 15,778.O00 bu-
shells compared with 15,784,000 in
August and 100000 bushels in
1919. With the preliminary esti-
mated winter crop of 5,908,500 bu-
shells, there is a possible total of 21,-
686,50O bushels, depending on how
threshing returns hold up. Last year
the total production was 1S,705,000
bushels.
Harvesting is completed and
threshing is making rapid Roadway.
Some excellent yields are reported
from northern counties and the
many irrigated districts. The hot
dry weather cut down spring wheat
yields.
Potatoes
During August, the crop dropped
off some $1,000 bushels, due prilA
cipally to unseasonably hot weathefs
the first twenty days. Since that
time there have been rains and good
growing weather thruout the COM
mercial districts. The outlook now
is for 6,33O,000 bushels, while the
1919 crop totaled 100000 bushels.
Growers report that the tubers have
seemed slow to set; that there are
not many in a hill, and that the yield
of Russets will mot be as heavy as ex-
pected, altho Rurals are doing well.
The carlot movement is placed at
1895 cars. Indications September
we're that Bonneville county would
have SO per cent of a normal yield;
Bingham, 81 per cent; Minidoka, 90
per cent; Cassia, SO per cent; Twin
Falls, 90 per cent; Jerome, 81 per
cent; and Canyon, Sc per cent.
Sugar Beets
The condition is IS per cent, or a
drop of two points from August. The
leaf-hopper has done severe damage
in restricted localities. A number
of fields have thin stands, which
were left last spring because of fav-
orable contracts with factories. Pros
poets are very good, however. Re-
cent rains and good growing weather
will add a big tonnage.

B. A. C. WILL GIVE BOXERS. FINE WATCHES

The Birmingham Athletic club of ficials have decided to give the anna teur boxers who represent the Bir mingham Athletic Club solid gold watches at the next stag instead of gold medals as has been the custom in the past.
 Heretofore the boys were receiving gold medals for the winner, and silver ones to the loser, but now for the next stag the winner will receive a gold watch, while the loser will get the ac- customed silver medal.
 This change will make Tommy's boys hustle all the more. as a good gold watch nowadays is worth going after. It was Tommy Tompkins who brought forth the suggestion of presenting the boxers with watches and he has also recommended that each time stag or tournament is conducted at the club that prizes be different. That is, watches for one stag. then medals, then small loving cups, diamond stick pins and cuff links, and keep rotating in that order.
 According to Tommy that is the sys. tenn used in the north and east, so that after one gets out of the amateur ranks he has more than just medals to look at. He has something that he can use.

Science to Meet Braun as Brady
 Battles Boorde

The club has arranged a worthy boxing bill for next Tuesday night, December IA, when four local stars will appear in action against each other Two star bouts will be staged, as we'll as a couple of good semi-final bouts.
 No two better lightweights could be gotten together from the supply of Dixie mitt artists than Jack Brady and Freddie Boorde. A more evenly matched pair would be hard to find.
 When Brady and Boorde meet, it will be the age old struggle between science and brawn. Brady possesses science in great gobs, while Boorde seems to be the more brawny of the two. They represent two entirely diff ferent types of fighters.
 Brady fights wide, leaving himself apparently open to be the easy mark of his opponents punches. Yet, such is not the case. When struck at, Brady usually remains open, but he Is rarely ever in the spot at which his opponent aims. Jack is scientific to the ex- treme, combining speed and skill with a craftiness that is surprising
 On the other hand, Freddie doesn't believe in too much footwork. His creed is to bore in, punch his opponent hard and mercilessly, until one or the other is forced to give ground. Then begins relentless chase around the ring, that is, if Freddie forces his op ponent to give ground. Backing his man into a corner, Freddie cuts aIoose with rights and lefts and usually finishes up the job in jam-up style. Freddie has another asset, however In addition to his huskiness, he has his

OnH TUo Varsity
 Men Of 1919 Out For Central FiUe
By nPoNz1> MILLS

Only two varsity men from last years remarkable basketball team answered the call at Central High yesterday for practice. There were about p rec!'lits present who, although light seemed to have plenty of pep and dash about them.e
 The forwards should not give Coach Meyers much trouble, as he has Mule" Stubbs, last years regular at this posi- tion, and several promising candidates The wise ones, though. are picking this position for Tom Anderson, who has been starring with the Southside Bap- tist goal shooters for the last year or two. He has shown himself to be fine long distance and good short shot, and is not bad center either. so he is being counted on to fill varsity position.
 At center "Nigger'' Lawley, from last years team, is counted upon to again fill this position, and if he does as good as last year there will be no kick com ing from anyone. There are also sev- era1 youngsters out for this place, N.t O are likely to give him hard battle for it before the season opens.
 | At the guards is where the biggest gap appears, and it is going to be the hardest to fill. These were the easy places to fill in last years team, as i there were five good guards present tor the major part of the season. The ra- terial for these positions is light lad | green, and is sure to be hard to round into good shape.
 Coach Meyers put his charges through Q light workout of running down the
 floor with the ball and tossing it at the basket
 Here are some of those who were out yesterday. and who will get a
 chance to play for the Crimson this
 season: Earl Weaver, Ben Greene, Tom
 Anderson, "Nigger" Lawley, Ben Cope
 land Andrew Knight Davis Rox, Cecil
 Harris, Gordon kipling,. Chester Gold

 Central is going to greatly miss those stellar players now playing for other
 teams who wore the Crimson last year
 These are Fred Hahn, Edgar Robinson
 Earl Barks, Bill Gideon, Phenie Crane lClem Shugarman, Price Brlgan and Lyman Goldstein. Fred Hahn is now lat Auburn, and his friends will be lgreatly surprised if he does not make the five this season. Phenie Crane one Iof the best guards ever produc d Central. is also at the same college

 AND RELIEVE AT HOME.

If you have catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises caused by catarrh, or if phlegm drops in your throat and has caused ca tarrh of the stomach or bowels you will be glad to know that these distressing symp toms may be entirely overcome in many in- stances by the following treatment which you easily prepare in your own home at little cost. Secure from your druggist ounce of Parmint Double Strength.) Take this home and add to it 4 pint of hot water and little granulated sugar; stir un- til dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times day. An improvement is some times noted after the first days treatment. Breathing should become easy, while the distressing head noises. headaches, dull ness, cloudy thinking, etc, should gradually disappear under the tonic action of the treatment. Loss of smell. taste. defective hearing and mucus dropping in the back of the throat are other symptoms which suggest the presence of catarrh and which may often be overcome by this efficacious treatment. It is said that nearly ninety per cent of all ear troubles caused by catarrh and there must. therefore be many people whose hearing may be restored by this simple. harmless. home treatment.-- Adv.

CARPENTER HAS CHANGE

When Jack Dempsey fought Jess Will lard. something like 300 boxing critics from every corner of the map were at Toledo for a closeup inspection. As we recall the verdict, about 50 per cent ot these figured that Willard was too big and strong to be beaten-that no living man could give the champion Cat that time) 55 pounds and win.
 Two of the oldest critics in the game went so far as to say that Willard with his greater strength and bulk could breaH down Dempseys guard and hit him out of the ring with one punch.
 Willard was 55 pounds heavier than Dempsey. Dempsey will be only 2O pounds heavier than Carpenticr, having nothing like the advantage in bulk weight that Willard knew.
 There is, of course, this difference Dempsey was lighter than Willard, but far faster Dempsey will be heavier than
