SETS NEW
RAINFALL RECORD
NEARLY 100 PER CENT MORE
THAN NORMAL RAINFALL
FOR MONTH JUST ENDED.

Following the lead set by Septem-
ber, the month of October has set a
new record for precipitation here,
with a total for the month of 2.35
inches. The average rainfall for
past 13 years, as shown by the wealth
er bureau of the University of Idaho,
has been 1.22 inches for the month of
October, making the excess above
normal for October, 1920, 1.13 inches
or almost 100 per cent.
The bureaus report shows that
September had 2.52 inches of rainfall
this year as compared with an aver
age for 13 years, of 1.04, the excess
being almost $50 per cent.
Reports from other points show
that Lewiston had 1.60 inches of rain
in October as compared with 1.20,
normal, Boise, had 2.34 inches, the
normal being 1.26; and Pocatello had
2.62, as compared with normal rain
fall of .98 of an inch.
November is starting off unusally
wet, the precipitation being far above
normal up to this time, with rain
falling today, and the temperature
more like April or May than Novem-
ber. Fall wheat is getting an excel
lent start, many fields being COM
pletely covered with a fine growth of
wheat. Fall wheat conditions are
better than they have been at this
season for the past five years.

ELBERTON, Wash.-S. r. Viewer,
age 81, a well-to-do farmer, was
found dead this morning in the hog
lot near the selffeeder by his son,
Fred C. Viewer Indications were that
Mr.. Viewer was feeding the hogs, as
an empty sack was lying beside the
feeder. The supposition is he slipped
and fell on the slippery boards.
Coroner Bruning was called, but de-
cided an inquest was not necessary

BROWN BOOSTS FOR
LIVESTOCK SHOWS
MOSCOW PIONEER STOCKMAN
WANTS BIGGER AND BETTER
STOCK SHOWS HELD.

G. w. Brown, pioneer livestock
man of Moscow who was one of the
original organizers of the Northwest
Livestock Association and the Latah
County Fair Association and has been
one of the prime movers in trying to
get the Latah County Fair revived, is
enthusiastic over the decision to con-
tinue the Lewiston livestock show and
the prospects of getting stock show
and county fair at Moscow next year.
Mr.. Brown today gave out state
ment to the stockmen and farmers OF
this section, appealing to them to take
deeper interest i'll better stock and to
not permit the livestock shows to be
given up for lack of patronage He
said in part:
"While attending the eleventh an
nual livestock show at Lewiston, I
feel impelled to again urge and boost
for continuation of this stock show.
Wonderful displays of purebred live
stock have been shown each year, and
especially this year. There were an
imals from nine different states com
peting for honors in their respective
classes: cattle, horses, sheep, SWINE
and jacks Of the best to be found at
any stock show in the United States
with the exception of the greatest,
the Chicago International.
"It is worthy of note that nearly
all of these herds of livestock have
been bred and grown in the Inland
Empire during the last four or five
years. Consequently, we have a splen-
did representation of the various
breeds of purebred livestock of the
first class with which to improve our
herds. In this Inland Empire with
its wonderful climate, in addition to
good care and scientific feeding we
should, and will be able to grow live
stock equal in class to that in any
in the world.
"I feel convinced that any stockman
who saw the livestock exhibits at the
Lewiston show this year would agree
that it benefits in q large degree the
livestock Industry Of the northwest.
Good work is being done in getting
gether in this manner and giving
hem ideas in a commendable way
this great and important
industry.
ESPECIALLY praiseworthy is the act
# getting some two hundred boys and
girls interested in the breeding and
'aising of purebred livestock.
"In their organized pig clubs and
:alf clubs, etc. they learn the differ
nee between the good and new meth
IDS of breeding, feeding, and care as
lgainst the old fashioned way of pro
ucing a half starved scrub calf or
azor back pig of no account. But it |
$ the initiative in competing for
'rizes which the Lewiston livestock
how gives them and which really
makes the work interesting and worth
While to them.
"In conclusion, I would like 30 urge
hat the stock raisers of the country
must have the best class of livestock
n their farms in these days of in !
lated prices of land and labor to
nake stock raising paying industry.
'ince it is recognizable fact that
shows create desire for
etter livestock and are conductive to
is Improvement, let us boost for a
ood stock show circuit next year, of
yhich Lewiston should have no small
art since she instigated this sort of
took show"

FOOTBALL TEAM
GOES TO MONTANA
IDAHO UNIVERSITY MEN TO
MEET MONTANA'S STRONG
TEAM NEXT SATURDAY.

Faced with one of the hardest
games of their entire 1920 schedule
Coach Thomas Kelley's University OF
Idaho gridiron warriors leave this af-
ternoon for Missoula, where they will
meet the speedy Montana university
eleven Saturday.
Montana has been an in-and-out
team all season. Sensationally strong
earlier in The year, the Bruins drubbed
the University of Washington and
overwhelmed Montana Wesleyan, but
they were so badly crippled in the
process that they lost to Washington
State and Whitman. Coach Bierman's
men came back brilliantly against
Montana State trimming that ancient
rival % to. and they expect to re-
peat this performance when Idaho ap-
pears in Missoula.
Dissatisfied with the showing Ger
tain of his regulars have made in re-
cent scrmmmages, Coach Kelley is
said to contemplate several changes
in his varsity eleven. "Babe" Brown
of Boise may be- moved from an end
to the full-back position, supplanting
"Huck" Breshears Of Caldwell and
OdTl Wager u dcuSSSe may Dc SUI
stituted for Frank Brown at one of
the guards. Justin Gowen of Cald-
we'll is likely to take Babe" Browns
end job.
Injustice received in Idaho's Armis-
tice day triumph over Utah may pre-
vent two Of Kelley's ablest linemen
from entering the Montana game.
One of these defensive luminants is
suffering from wrenched knee and
the other is nursing severe Charley
horse" Both men will make the trip
to Missoula, but neither is likely to
be used.
Campus opinion with regard to the
Montana game is not inclined to be
optimistic. The rejuvenated Grizzlies
are considered one of the most for
elevens in the northwest con-
frence and they may feel inclined to
celebrate their return to full vigor by
mauling the. Idaho eleven.
Montana probably will have slight
edge in the matter of weight, but
Idaho aggressiveness is being counted
IN to equalize this difference in
avoirdupois.

HONOR FRENCH IN
CLEARWATER COUNTY

Congressman Burton L. French, of
Moscow, got a flattering vote in the
neighboring county Of Clearwater.
Official returns from that county
show that Mr.. French received 867
votes to 278 for Mrs. Irion and 479
for Riley Rice, the nonpartisan league
candidate. AS Clearwater county was
supposed to be a stronghold of the
nonpartisan league, Mr.. French's big
vote there was a pleasing surprise.
He had PIP more votes than both his
opponents in that county.

HARVESTED CORN
WITH A THRESHER
b. P. LUvAAS INTRODUCES NOV
Ell METHOD OF SAVING HIS
FINE CORN CROP.

Threshing corn is the latest innova-
ton in Latah county farming ano
promises to revolutionize the methods
of handling corn, the production OF
which has shown marked increase
in this section during recent years.
B. p Luvaas, prosperous farmer
living five miles northeast of Moscow
near the foot Of Moscow mountains
has just threshed 13 acres of corn
which yielded about rs bushels of
shel1ed corn per acre, and he has q
fine, large stack of Shredded" corn
fodder to take the place of Shredded
wheat biscuits" for the breakfast of
his cattle and horses. The fodder is
splendid feed and the cattle eat it
greedily.
The threshing was done with an or
dinary steam thresher. Mr.. Luvaas
cut his corn while it was yet green
enough to preserve the blades on the
stalks. He shocked this in small
shocks until it became pretty thoroly
dried, then hauled it to his thresher
and run it through the machine after
he had finished threshing his oats.
The cobs, ground to small pieces,
with portions Of the stalks and con-
siderable amount of shelled corn,
came out of one side of the machine
while the shredded fodder came
through the blower, and the shelled
corn, nice and cleanly and cracked but
very little, came through the grain
spout, was sacked and hauled to the
barn. It was not entirely dry and
was spread out on big barn floor
to dry.
II should have run these cobs and
small pieces of stalk through the ma
chine again and thus saved all Of the
corn that went with this, but we were
hurried and I knew the hogs would
get it and they are getting it, as you
see," said Mr.. Luvaas to the writer,
who visited his farm just after the
corn had been threshed.
He pointed to fine herd Of Duroc
Jersey hogs that were busily engaged
in picking the corn from the cob
pile and seemed to be enjoying the
work immensely.
IT threshed my corn this way two
years ago." said Mr.. Luvaas, "and it
turned out all right I believe it is
the ideal way for handling corn. The
separator makes as good job of
cleaning the corn as it does OF oats
and the corn is easily handled while
the cattle and horses clean up all of
the fodder it is cut little green and
allowed to cure before being thresh-
ed"
Mr.. Luvaas had just threshed a
field Of oats planted so late that he
thought the grain would not mature,
but after standing in the field until
November the grain was cut and
threshed and yielded more than 80
bushels per acre, after having been
handled twice during which much Of
it shattered.

Effects of County DiyiSiO

In practically every instance where
decrease in the number of farms is
shown it is due to the fact that the
county has been cut up since the 1910
census was taken to form new coun-
ties. Where no figures are given for
1910 the county has been created since
that year.
