Idaho county is unfortunate
in losing her county agent. John
F. Finley, who recently resigned
the position to take up agricult-
ural work for himself. He had
held the position only a few
months-just long enough to ac-
quaint the farmers over there
with the value of such an official
and it is presumed that the place
will be refilled as soon as pos
sible. The Idaho county farm
ers lost enough last season
through the grasshopper pest
alone to pay the salary of a
farmer agent for many years,
which loss could have been pre-
vented had the scourge been
fought in an organized way. as it
was in Lewis county under
County Agent Wade. Here's
hoping our neighbor common
wealth may not be long without
the services of an efficient coun-
tv agent Years of experience
have taught Lewis county the
great value to the farmer such a
co-worker is.-Nezperce Herald.

THE CRASH IS COMING
IN NEWSPAPER WORK.

The census of print paper pro-
duction and consumption has
been taken and it has been found
that the big city papers use
about 80 per cent OF the print
paper that is used in America I
and the country newspapers and
small dailies use the other 10 per
cent. Advertising business is
good and the big dailies have in
creased their product until they
need that other 10 per cent and
much besides, and they are buy
ing it up by contracting for the
entire output of the paper mills.
That leaves the little fellows
without paper to print on.
The entire production of print
paper for the coming year cam
not be more than four billion one
hundred million pounds and the
big dalies have most of that
bought and have the cash ready
to pay for it. The Chicago
Tribune used 100000 pounds
of print in a single issue lately,
and there are about sixty big
dailies that consume it in very
large quantities. The Curtis
Publishing company estimates
its paper bill for 1920 to be
seventeen million dollars.
1t is estimated that $500
newspapers will suspend in the
next few weeks, and congress is
troubled about it. But congress-
has so many things to be troubl-
ed about, it assigns its troubles
TO committees and goes on its
way. That is where the paper
shortage is resting now, and in
the meantime, the crash is cut
ting closer TO the door of the
printing house all over the land.
Great numbers of newspapers
are raising the price of subscrip-
ton 25 to SO per cent, hoping to
get paper at some price.
The News has a supply on
hand that will last for approx
ir1ately six months, and in the
meantime paper will have to be-
bought as we can get hold Of it.
The price is soaring every day
and all country newspapers will
be extremely lucky if they are
able to keep going at all.
In the face of all this, we re-
spectfully ask all subscribers to
look at the date opposite their
name on this paper, and if your
time has expired, we must ask
you to please call at the office OF
mail us a check as we cannot
longer send the paper unless it is
paid for. Time was when it
did not make so much difference
whether the paper was paid for
at any particular time, but times
have changed and the produc-
ton of a paper, calls for spot
cash, therefore we must ask you
to please look after the matter
at once.-Genesee News.

penses, those for military work, print
ing and state fairs, actually decreased.
MINNESOTA FIGURES
Minnesota, on the other hand, with
no industrial program and no farmer
government, is raising $14,176,485 for
1919, as opposed to $6,1O7, O06 for
1918, an increase Of $8,O69, 479, or
1872 per cent.
This figure compares unfavorably
even with North Dakota's gross in
crease Of 117.7 per cent. And several
allowances should be made in favor
of North Dakota, such as the fact
that the state gets all railroad and
several other corporation taxes in
Minnesota and here only ID per cent
of them. Another would be the new
industrial program.
Minnesota politicians not only have
given the people no offsets to higher
taxes such as North Dakota's state
hail insurance, but their machine is
responsible for vetoing the tonnage
tax which would have taken care Of
about 100000 Of the more than
Sc, 100000 increase.

Helena, Feb. 1O.-Reports from
twelve counties in the northern, cen
trail. eastern and western sections of
the state on crop and livestock con-
ditions UP to January 81, received by
Charles b. Greenfield, Commissioner
of Agriculture and Publicity, are to
the effect that the first month in the
year was much less severe on live
stock than the preceding winter
months. Livestock is being fed in ev-
ery section of the state and in all OF
the counties reporting there is sutfi-
cient feed on hand to carry the ami
mas through, but it is costing the
feeders a very high price per ton for
hay and other feed stuffs. So far as
reports show there has been practical
ly no winter killing of fall grain. Sew
eral of the counties report a surplus
of Marquis wheat for seeding pur-
poses, but other seed grain is short.
The following reports from the coun-
ties will give an indication OF local
conditions:
Roosevelt county. Stock wintering
fairly we'll with enough feed on hand
to carry them through. Sufficient
seed wheat for spring seeding.
Richland County Weather during
January was generally severe, range
cattle showing the effects. Much of
the range is covered with ice render
ing it inaccessible to stock. There
appears to be sufficient seed wheat in
the county, but oats and flax will
have to be shipped in.
Dawson County-Severe weather in
January caused considerable loss in
livestock, especially calves. There
is a shortage Of both feed and seed.
Custer County During January
there was one week Of severe cold
weather. There appears to be plenty
of feed on the market and where live
stock losses have been reported there
was lack of proper feeding and pro-
lection from the cold.
Rosebud county. Cattle properly
fed and cared for are doing well. Con-
siderable loss is reported among range
horses. No winter killing of fall
wheat and rye reported.
Musselshell county-Feed is scarce
and expensive. Winter crops in good
shape.
Saltwater county-No winter kill
ing Of fall grain reported. Surplus
of good MARQUIS seed wheat but
shortage in all other spring grains.
Feed extremely scarce and high
priced.
Chouteau county.-Livestock gen
orally being supplied with sufficient
feed and horses not dying to the ex-
tent that they were earlier in the
winter. Winter wheat generally in
excellent condition.
Valley county Practically all live
stock has to be fed regularly. With
the exception of sheep stock is gen.
orally in poor condition. Plenty of
seed wheat in the county with per-
haps small surplus for export.

F1axville Democrat: Monday morn
ing, January 26, Roy Dunn built a
fire in the heating stove, partially
turned off the drafts and went down
to his barn. A short time afterward
Mrs. Dunn on coming into the living
room smelled smoke and heard some
thing roaring. On investigation she
found the partition back of the stove
and behind the asbestos was all
afame. She Immediately ran to the
neighbors, Mr. Ed. Molden's, with her
three year-old daughter in her arms.
Mr.. Molden as quickly as possible ran
to the house and finding he could do
nothing, ran to turn in the alarm and
help to get the chemical cart there.
In a few minutes after the fire gong
rang most Of the men in town were
on the job and while some worked at
putting the fire out, others carried
out furniture, etc.
!. The fire was finally extinguished
with q loss of from $50 to 500. It
was q total loss, no insurance being
carried on the residence or furniture.
