TOWNLEY COMING
TO MOSCOW SUNDAY
Circulate Petitions For Filing
State Ticket.

Star-Mlrror: A. G. TownIey. head
of the nonpartizan league, Is to
visit northern Idano in the Interest.
of the leagues independent"
ticket, filed IN nearly all north
Idaho counties and to be filed in the
state. He is to make two speeches
in northern Idaho, the first at Lew
iston on Saturday, August 21. and
the second in Moscow, Sunday,
August %.
The campaign of the nonpartizans
is now on in the Panhandle" and
will be carried into every one of
the northern counties. Meetings
are being held in big tent owned
by the league. This insures a place
to meet as in many places the rental
of hall to the nonpartizans is for
hidden and in some towns they are
not permitted to hold meetings in
the Incorporated limits. In such
places the tent is pitched outside of
the city limits and the speakers,
claiming persecution of the
league by big Business" makes an
issue of the fact that they are not
permitted to hold meetings in the
towns.
F. P. Waters, of Spokane, who has
been organizing the league in Latah
and adjoining counties and secured
600 signatures to the petitions to
file candidates for Legislature and
commissioners in this county, has
been called away for a week, and
will speak at the tent meetings.
He left Sunday for De Smet where
tent meeting is to be held. The
other speakers were H. F. Sam
ueIs. of Samuels, Idaho, candidate
of the league in 1918 for governor
and nominee of the league this year
as an independent" candidate for
United States senator to succeed
Senator Nugent. Waters and Sam
uels will hold meetings at De Smet,
Monday night, Potlatch. Tuesday
night, Troy, Wednesday night,
where Sherman Fairchild, nominee
for governor, joins the speakers.
and he and Waters will speak there
and at Kendrick, Friday night
and Genesee, Thursday night. Then
the "big gun," Townley, joins the
tent crowd and will speak at Lew
iston. Saturday night and at Mos
COW, Sunday afternoon at o'clock.
Petitions for the state ticket are
now being circulated in Latah and
other northern Idaho counties.
There must be at least 5000 sigma
lures to the petitions and they must
come from at least Is per cent of
the counties of the state. As there
are A counties there must be signers
from at least IL of these. They
must be filed with the secretary of
state not later than tuesday, Aug
ust Oath. but those from Latah
county, must be in not later than
August 10, for they must have the
80. K" of the county auditor be-
: fore being sent to Boise. No doubt
is expressed by the leaders that the
requisite number of signatures will
, be secured.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
KANREO WHEAT
Prof. Bennett, U. of l, Dis
cusses Kanred Wheat

Kanred wheat has come to the at
tentlon of Idaho farmers during the
past season thru efforts of dealers
to import seed for planting pur-
poses. Many inquiries have been
made at the Agricultural College
of the University as to its merits
and value for Idaho conditions.
Kanred was improved and dis
tributed by the Kansas Experiment
Station. Its name is suggestive of
the characteristic Of. the wheat,-a
hard red winter wheat similar to
Turkey Red and Kharkov. There
is no question as to its value IN
Kansas as it has produced from two
to six bushels greater yield than
Turkey Red under similar con-
ditions. This increase in yield is
due to it's rust resistance and its
earliness. two characteristics need
eu for wheat to yield we'll in that
section of the United States. 1t
also produces fine -four and is in
demand by the millers.
Its value IN Idaho is. to say the
least, open to question. Its two
outstanding characteristics, that of
rust resistance and earliness are not
needed in Idaho where hard red
winter wheat is grown. The
climatic / conditions thruout the
state are not favorable to rust and
few days difference in time of
maturity does not materially affect
the yield.
Kanred has been tested in COM
parison with Turkey Red by 1.-THE
Washington Experiment Station at
Pullman. Prof. E. &. Schafer has
kindly furnished a statement of the
yields tor the past two seasons, sea-
sons which were favorable for hare
winter wheats. The conditions un
der which these tests were conduct
ed are similar to those thruout the
Palouse area. The yields are:
Bushels per acre
1918 1919 Aver
Turkey Red 3O.5 59.5 45.(
Kanred 31.S 55.1 49,!
The Palouse area is not suited t.
the production of hard winter
wheats and they should not be intro
duced. This area is badly handi
. capped by growing too much mixet
grain and the introduction of NOR
wheats, especially hard red grain
which, when mixed with the com
mon white and white club wheats
will reduce the price of the wheat
! should be discouraged.
1t may be possible that on tn
drv-lands where hard winter whea
: is the predominating type, Kanre
: might be grown. At least 1t Nigh
j be experimental with in compari
son with Turkey Red and its valu
tested. The same might be said 0
many new wheats or other crop
put on the market in some state O
locality. Those crops are generally
adapted to the particular localit
> from which they came and If cor
o ditions are not the same in anothe
+ locality they may not be protitabl
introduced.

Deary Press: Work on the new
building that is to house part Of

Genesee News: That the Genesee
section is in the favored section this
year is indicated by the very neavy
hay crop that has been cut and the
splendid vield of wheat in prospect
Of harvesting.
Some of the ranchers report that
portion of their wheat is "going
: down." which is an indication that
it is OF more than ordinary weight
of head and they are satisfied that
a portion, at least, will yield
heavily, while there has been no
threshing done in this section as
yet, it is reported that manv fields
will go 30 to 35 bushels and some
of them even better and what has
been examined the quality has been
reported as good.

down, regardless of the fact that his crops
or his goods We're produced on the high
level, the jobber has had TO take his loss
and the retailer who gets down to the
new level as soon as possible will gain by
doing so.
The elements of strength in the situa-
ton will become effective when the condi-
tions are right. The main condition is
that all along the line costs must come
down until confidence in prices is re-es-
tablished. Confidence will not be re-es-
tablished in prices that rest upon inflated
costs, even though all profits have been
eliminated. 1t will not be re-established'
IN prices that rest upon any artificial sup
port for all such supports are temporary
Prices may go lower than can be perma-
nently maintained; it is the usual thing
IN times of reaction that the momentum
carries prices too low, just as in times of
expansion they are carried too high.
This is pre-eminently price situation.

Prices-Recovery When Price Conf
dence Is Reestablished.
NEW YORK, Dee 3.-The National
City Bank of New York in statement on
economic conditions. made public today,
says:
The downward movement of prices. of
which the first signs appeared last May,
and which became quite evident i'll Octo-
Der. has become more general and precipi-
tate in the last month. The hopes that
had been entertained that the descent to a
lower level would be accomplished so grad
uaIly that the losses would be covered
by current profits. without serious inter
ruption to business and without unem-
ployment, have proven illusory. Rarely,
if ever, has there been so great decline
in commodity prices in so short a time.
The l. basic commodities included in the
price fable OF the federal reserve bank
on New York, to Wit: Wheat. corn, hogs,
sugar. pig iron. copper, lead. lumber.
petroleum, cotton. hides and rubber, have
declined on the average $50 per cent
since the high point of the record in May.

and 17.3 per cent below the May average
As COMPARED with October, 1919, the table

per cent, cloths and clothing nearly Is
per cent. and farm products p per cent.
BradstrePts table of consolidated prices
) is down 24S per cent from its peak, which
occurred in February.
The fall in prices of farm products dur
ing the past month has given q. more seri-
GUS aspect to the entire business situation.
Following the declines in September and
October the cuts again have been very
deep. and are of far-reaching influence.
The farmer has suffered not only a great
direct loss of purchasing power, but Il
shock which will affect his mental atti-
tude toward expenditures for some time.
He has debts to pay. more debts than at
any previous time. judging by the volume

Cattle and hogs have been coming to

enough to bring over $14 per hundred
