Bl OSSOM ADVANCED
TO SECOND PLACE
MOSCOW JERSEY NOW STANDS
SECOND IN HONOR ROLL OF
IDAHO Mike

Blossom" a Moscow Jersey cow,
now stands second in the ''honor roll''
of Idaho cows that are taking the
state test for cows making more than
40 pounds of butter per month. This
is her sixth month under the test
and she has advanced from fifth to
second place in the list while the
number of cows making the minimum
required to remain in the honor roll
have been reduced from 36 to 16 for
the month of August, the last month
for which the official report has been
tabulated by Professor H. P. Davis,
head of the dairy department. of the
University of Idaho.
The University of Idaho has three
cows remaining in the "honor roll"
thus giving to Moscow four out of the
16 in the state, or 25 per cent. The
COW heading the list is a Holstein,
"Viola Shadeland," owned by F. O.
has only been in the contest four
months. The record for August was
1921 pounds of milk and 63.47
pounds of butter fat. Blossoms"
record for her sixth month, was 914.9
pounds of milk, which yielded 1922
of butter fat. Thus, while Blossom"
gave less than half as much milk as
the Holstein COW, she gave within 10
pounds of as much butter fat in the
month.
This contest is proving an interest
ing one. Last year "Idaho Violet"
Holstein cow owned by the University
of Idaho, lead not only the state but
the entire northwest, with a record
Of 1000 pounds of milk and more
than 1000 pounds of butter for the
year.
Of the 16 cows remaining in the
contest, four are Jerseys, six are
and six are Holsteins. The
cows range in age from two years
to "aged," and the number of months
they have been in the contest range
from one to 10.

FORMER REGENT SEES
IDAHO UNIVERSITY
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
GOVERNOR VISITS THE BIG
SCHOOL ON THE HILL.

Judge T. A. Walters, Caldwell, a
former member of the board or re-
gents of the University of Idaho,
spent yesterday on the campus, look
ing over the university buildings and
noting the many chance and i'm
provements. Judge Walters took
special note of the congested condi-
tion prevailing here both in class
rooms and laboratories.
In speaking of the conditions as he
found them he said that the need of
more room was evident and that every
nook end corner semed to be utilized
for some purpose.
''The over crowded condition [ find
here and the holding of night classes"
said Judge Walters, ''is not a profit
able investment for the state and
should be remedied without delay.
The legislature should appropriate
funds to remove this menace and to
provide for the payment of salaries at
least equal to those paid to univer-
sity instructors in our sister states.
This essential in the university is to
build up strong permanent faculty.
In walking about the campus Judge
Walters was surprised at the large
number of Caldwell students he met.

GOVERNOR GOODING'
WILL SPEAK TONIGHT
CANDIDATE FOR u. S. SENATOR
is IN MOSCOW THIS
AFTERNOON.

Somewhat tired from his long
automobile drives over muddy roads
and in all kinds of weather. but
good-t Throughout northern Idaho,
Frank R. Gooding, twice governor OF
Idaho, and republican nominee for
United States senator, reached Mos
COW from Troy today. But his physic-
al weariness from the long, hard
drives, has not weakened his ambi-
tion nor curtailed his fighting power.
He was as full of fight and vigor and
ambition as ever when seen by The
Star Mirror reporter today. He is
out to win the race, believes he will
win, it, but is going to fight until the
last vote is counted just as he fought
two years ago and won-for every
body but himself.
Governor Gooding realizes he is in
friendly territory when he is in Latah
county, but he wants this county to
"repeat" it's vote of two years ago,
and his friends here assure him that
it will. The old war horse is conf
dent, but determined to leave nothing
undone to carry the campaign up to
election day.
He predicts Harding will carry Ida
no by 10000 majority over Cox, and
says IL is Slmply d ldIluSlluc. lo
realized that with Samuels withdrawn
from the race the nonpartisans will
center on Nugent and do their best to
repeat the operation of two years
ago. But he believes, and has had as
surance, his friends say, from many
leading democrats that thev will not
be ga tail to the nonpartisan kite"
and twill refuse to have their votes
deliverd to Nugent by Samuels."
Governor Gooding had fine meet
ing at Troy last night. A number of
Moscow citizens attended and say the
reception given the governor was
fine He will speak in Eggan's hall
tonight and asks every friend who
wants to hear the issues discussed, to
come early and secure good seats.
His talk will be full of interest to all
voters.

LOSS OF CROPS IN
NORTHWEST HEAVY
WASHINGTON, IDAHO AND MON
TANA SUFFERING EROM TOO
MUCH PRECIPITATION.

The loss of crops because of too
much rain in harvest is becaming a.
serious matter in the three north
| western states of Idaho, Montana and
Washington. A late season prevent
ed grain from ripening at the usual
time, shortage of help prevented it be-
! ing harvested at the proper time and
| the rain coming earlier than usual
have worked havoc in many places.
In Latah county the loss will be
quite large, but small compared with
that in many other sections. Much
damage has already been done here
but much grain can yet be saved if we
have good weather for a week or 10
days at a stretch.
Pullman reports more than 1000
acres of wheat uncut in that vicinity
with hundreds of acres cut and in the
shock, which is much worse off than
that standing, uncut, in the fields
Farmers near Pullman have about
abandoned hope of saving their grain
crops and the loss of some of them
will be heavy.
Camas Prairie Hit Hard
But the Camas prairie district seems
to be hit harder than any other sec
ton of the northwest. Reports from
there state that not to exceed one
third of the crop has been saved and
that standing in the stock is tit only
for hog feed. 1t is said that shocks OF
wheat standing in the field are per-
fectly green, the grain having sprout-
ed and grown several inches high from
the heads in the shocks, while sheaveS
that have fallen down have sprouted
and grown to the ground. The loss in
Lewis. Clearwater and Idaho counties
is placed at several million dollars.
Arrangements are being made to Duy
stock hogs and ship them into that
section to be fed on the damager grain
and thus save portion OF 1t.
Portions of Oregon are also similar
Iy affected, the crop not being saved
because of lack of help and early
rains. In some sections entire neigh
borhoods are reported to have lost
nearly all the crop grown this year.
Montana Also Sufferer
Deer Lot, Monthly A. P) Those
who have visited some farming sec
tions in this vicinity declare they nave
found some farmers still engaged in
attempting to gather crop OF nay,
but that large portion of the hay
crop will be total loss due TO heaVy
rains and to lack of help.
One farmers is reported to nave
lost 300 tons because of those condl-
tions 1t also is reported that there
are a great many acres of wheat still
on the ground, and while threshlng
crews recently started operations, 1t is
said the efforts will be useless unless
the rains cease.

OPPOSE
STATE OPERATION
IDAHO EDITORS Do NOT FAVOR
GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Idaho public is overwhelming
| ly opposed to radical government ex-
periments according to the results Of
QUESTIONABLE on the subject of gov
ernment operation of industries sent
out to the editors of this and the
other statss of the country Of the
| SO editors who replied, 40 or 80 per-
cent said that the citizens of their
communities wer opposed to the gov
ernment going into business in COM
petition with it's citizens.
The QUESTIONABLE was sent out by
the Press Service Company of New
York City. While the inquiry was
based on the general principle of gov
ernment operation, the so-called
Muscle Shoals bill now before Cor
gress was used as a concrete eX-
ample. Under this bill a government
owned corporation would be given
power, among other things, to pro-
duce at Muscle Shoals various fertil-
izer products and sell them in COM
petition with private manufacturers
and dealers.
AS to the wisdom of the government
adopting this policy toward the fer
tilizer industry the editors were ask
ed for their personal opinion. Of the
49 editors who gave an opinion on this
point, Al or 81 per cent wer unquali-
fiedly opposed to the scheme.
The political affiliations of the Ida
no papers whose editors answered the
QUESTIONABLE were: Republican, 49,;
Democratic, 10; Indepndnt, 21; and
l.
A summary Of the results of the
QUESTIONABLE from the country at
large shows that this opposition to
government operation is general. Out
of 1854 editors replyig, 4466 or SO
percent voted their communities
against the proposition. This is an
increase of percent in the opposition
as compared with the results of
similar QUESTIONABLE sent out by the
Press Service Company year ago in
with the question of turning
The railroads back to their owners.
The papers heard from in the pres
snt poll are 1857 Republican; 1850
1862 miscellaneous. Not only nid po-
litical bias play no part in the re-
olies but sectioal differences seem to
nave no appreciable effect on the e.
suit. The combined circulation cf the
papers whose editors ceplied IS H. |

URGES new SYSTEM
OF COTTON SELLING
Federal Reserve Board Pro-
poses Standardized Ware
houses.

Proposals for a better system or
standardized warehousing. providing
larger credit facilities for the mar
keting OF the Souths great cotton
crops. have been laid before COTTON
State bankers by the Federal Reserve
Board.
The board finds that the present
uneconomic method OF marketing
cotton n the real reason for lack OF
adequate credit. The system, the
board urges. should be made sound
through a system OF Issuing UNIFORM
warehouse receipts. Bankers are
expected to get behind the plan and
finance big warehouse projects which
the scheme contemplates.
Henry A. Moehlenpah, member OF
the board, and sponsor OF the Gov
ernment's scheme, today declared
that a study of the situation had
brought convincing evidence OF the
need OF more adequate warehousing
facilities throughout the cotton
belt. .......... -.....
1.-The warehouse receipt to be OF
the highest credit value should Dc
uniform in its character, Just as are
bills OF lading and other instruments
upon which credit is extended SAID
Mr.. Moehlenpah.
Lack or circuit Is inc chioi foaSo"
for the present unsound and unecon-
omic system of marketing cotton. III
the uniform warehouse receipt is the
key which unlocks credit. then u
must follow that the providing OF
adequate standard warehouses Is the
thing to be done by cotton producers
and business men to bring about
solution OF the difficulties under
which the South has been handicap
ped for so many years. A proposition
, OF setting up preferential rate on
paper secured by warehouse receipts
issued under proper State or Federal
regulation should have fullest consid-
