no farmer has no chance to COM
pete with the foreigner in our mar
kets, for at the present time, one
third of all the population of Amer
lea lives in the great cities that can
be reached by water transportation
from foreign countries. In the
cities of New York and Boston alone
there are more people to be fed
than in the state of California. Ore

bined. 1t is said, and I believe it
to be true, that IS per cent Of all
their products into the great cities
of America cheaper, as far as freight
rates are concerned, than the farm
ers and livestock growers of Idaho.
With cheaper freight rates and
cheaper labor, what opportunity is
there for the farmers and livestock
growers of Idaho to compete with
foreigners in our own markets. Give
the farmers and livestock growers
labor and freight as cheap as they
are in foreign countries and they
will not ask for any protection.

The above increases contain large
sums which should have been taken
care Of but were not, in previous
years, notably increases for the
State educational, charitable and
penal institutions, which were not
given funds sufficient for proper
upkeep nor to take care of natural
growth. The last legislature was
liberal but not extravagant. For
the support of State offices and de-
partments, it cut 100000 from the
appropriations recommended for
those offices and departments by
members of the outgoing admins
tration.
Not the Cabinet Form Of Govern
ment, but increased cost of labor
and SUPPLIES, new highway construc-
ton and the like are responsible for
the increase in State taxes.
The State buys everything that
the farmer and his family uses
groceries, shoes, clothing, fuel, ma
chinery, implements, building ma
terial and labor, and is subject to
the same increases in COSTS Repeal
ing the Cabinet Form of Govern
ment will not reduce the cost of
these things.
County taxes, city and village
taxes. highway district and special
school taxes are all higher than they
were. and for the same reason that
State taxes are higher-increased
cost of labor and supplies. The In
crease in State taxes has been very
small compared to the increase OF
county, city, village and special
school taxes.
The State administration stands
upon this record that it has made
and on this record seeks the SUI.
frage OF the people for reelection.
COMPARATIVE STATEMENT
The following figures from the
official records of the State show
the difference in the financial con.
ditiOn of the state State in January
1915. when Governor Alexander was
inaugurated and in January, 1919
when Governor Davis was inaugur.

can be readily seen that the pre-
liminary financing by the State Is
a heavy burden. At present there
is due and Immediately coming due
to the State from the various CO.
operators about $1,5O0,O00 which
the State has advanced.
Matters affecting the State gov
eminent are not the only ones that
should interest the people of Idaho
at the coming election. Farmers
we'll wonder where they are going
to sell a lot of their products and
how they are going to make ends
meet Australian mutton and Ar
gentine beef eat no Idaho hay. Can
adam wheat breaks down the price
of wheat at home. Foreign manu-
facturers employ no American labor.
These are things that come directly
home not only to the farmer, but to
all classes of Idaho people. We
need tariff to protect the farmer,
the manufacturer and the laborer
against ruinous foreign competition.
In order to get such a tariff we
must elect men to congress who
will vote for a protective tariff law.
The live stock industry is paralyzed
and this has destroyed the market
for and reduced the price of hay
To restore this industry to prospect
ty we must return to Republican
protection. A vote for Hon. Frank
R. Gooding for United States Senat-
or and for Hon. Addison T. Smith
or Hon. Burton L. French for Con-
gresham. is vote for the best in
terests Of all the people of Idaho.
Sincerely yours.

alfalfa hay producers of Idaho at
this moment face the winter with
the prospect of an Improbable sea-
son despite enormous production
solely on account of the free trade
policy Of the Democratic party, and
the desire of that party to be kind
to the foreign producer of the ne
ccssities of life.
II free trade will reduce the net
earnings of the farmer Of Idaho at
least three fourths, and we have
had an object Lesson during the past
three months. will 1t also affect
other citizens Of the state? Never
In the history of the United States
has farm labor been SO we'll remun-
Grated. This has been rendered pos
sible by good prices for the products

chant has been profitable. It will
no longer be so, If the farmer and

$4,000; Secretary of State $4,000;

State officers nor in their salaries.
THE CABINET
The Cabinet Form of Government
merely centralizes responsibility in
nine departmental heads which was
formerly scattered among numerous
boards, commissions and individuals.
The Commissioners of Agriculture
under the old system, was State
Board of Agriculture, five members,
Livestock Sanitary Board. seven
members, and the State Board of
Horticulture, five members.
The Commissioner of Commerce
and Industry was State Bank Com
issioner.
The Commissioner of Finance and
Budget was State Examiner and no
budget.
The Commissioner Of immigration
Labor and Statistics is constitu-
tional office.
The Commissioner of Law En-
forcement takes the place of the
secretaries of thirteen abolished
boards, and is head of the Fish and
Game Department; also Of the State
Constabulary, which is new.
The Commissioner of Public In
vestments was Register of the Land
Board.
The Commissioner OF Public Wei
fare was Dairy. Food and Sanitary
Inspector.
The Commissioner OF Public
Works was State Highway Commits
sion of three members and State
Capitol Commission Of three mem
bers.
The Commissioner of Reclamation
was State Engineer.
The changes MADE reduce the
number of appointments by the
Governor from 81 to II. and the
number of departmnts or units from

IMPROVE CORN CROP

Corn may be improved each year by
seed selection, suggest State college
agrOnOmists. South Dakota uses about
100000 bushels of seed corn at home
and exports thousands of bushels each
year to other states. An increase OF
one bushel per acre means an increase
Of nearly 1900, 900 bushels in the crop.
A perfect stand of corn with three
stalks per hill, each bearing a medium
sized ear, yields about 70 bushels per
acre. An so per cent stand yields
about IS bushels per acre. The pres
ent average yield is about half that.
or % bushels per acre. Extra care in
selecting, curing, testing and grading
the seed corn will do much to i'm
prove the stand and yield of corn, thus
saving labor, reducing cost per bushel,
and increasing net profit per bushel.

CUT SWEET CLOVER EARLY

Kindly advise me how to handle
sweet clover" writes A. j. s., of
Dewey county, South Dakota. Il sowed
twelve acres in April and it is nov
ten inches high. Should it be cut
this season, and when, or moved and
left on the ground for protection?
How high should it lie cut? Please
give me full particulars as | am un-
experienced in growing sweet clover"
Reply by DR.. A. n. Hume, state col
lege agronomist: 1T is entirely pos
sible that your sweet clover is ready
TO cut for hay. OF course, n can
hardly tell at this distance without
seeing the stage of growth of the
plants. One may make the following
statements concerning sweet clover
and its use: The plant is a biennial.
which means that it makes only veg
etative growth the first year and pro-
duces seed the second year. Our OBJ
servation has been that the second
year growth is not a heavy hay crop.
According to the rule, you car make
hay this year and can expect to get
a seed crop next year.
1T is worth making the special eau
ton that sweet clover is likely to be
left too long before cutting for hay,
especially by those not acquainted
with its manne of growth. In its
later stages it becomes rather woody
and at that stage is also more bitter
than when cut early. Furthermore,
when it gets old and woody it is very
difficult to handle for hay. Sometimes
| have expressed it that n should
cut sweet clover for hay at least two
weeks before it appears to be ready
to cut. 1t is only meant to emphasize
strongly that early cutting is the
thing while the plants are yet green
and watery in appearance. When the
plants have first made a good large
growth go ahead and make hay. II
might be possible to cut too early,
but our observation is that such a
thing seldom happens.
"In the second year you can usu-
ally cut two crops, one for hay and
n for seed. So far as cutting the
hay crop is concerned the ]precaution
given above will hold. AS to time
for cutting the seed, it is well known
that not all the blossoms of sweet
clover are ripe at once and it is nee
essary to use the best judgment pos
sible concerning the time when the
greatest proportion of blossoms have
ripened into seed. At that time a few
of them may be over-ripe, but some
Of them will be still green and a few
Of them ray be only in the blossoming
stage. Some care also must be taken
not to let the seed crop stand too long
because if it does the seed will all
shatter off into the ground"

HOW TO STOP BLEEDING


BY Capta!a G. r. G. Fisher.
The oldest book in the world made
this statement three thousand years
before Harvey discovered the circula.
ton of the blood: For the life Of
the flesh is in the blood" That is
a scientific fact and still holds true.
Then, too, there is but about twelve
pounds, troy weight, Of blood in a
matured body, and consequently no
one can afford to lose very much, for
If they do. one of two things will oc.
cur, either they will die, or. if kept
alive, it will take a long time TO re-
cover strength lost from the excessive
blood letting.
Nature has done a very wonderful
thing in regard to the, arteries. She
has placed them next to the bones so
that all you have to do is to press
them against the bone in case the
wound is severe, as in a crushed or
severed limb, or where one is cut
through a bad wound. But, remem-
Der, II an artery is severed you al
ways press between the wound and
the heart, since arterial blood is flow
ing from the heart. If it is a vein
which is cut, you press on the oppo-
site side Of the wound from the heart,
as venous blood is flowing to the
heart. But possibly you ask, How
does n know which is which,"
Arterial blood comes out in spurts
or jerks, in keeping with the heart
beat, and is bright crimson, while
venous blood flows evenly and is dark
red. If n Is wounded close to the
windpipe and high in the neck, press
with finger below and alongside of
windpipe against the spine, and there
