\ LESSON From TREES

The tree, for one thing, keeps its
feet firmly on the ground. 1t is a
good citizen, 1t is a substantial citi-
zen. The stronger the wind, the moro
uncertain the foundation, the more
firmly it attaches itself to the soil.
the deeper it sends its roots until a
solid foothold is secured.
a tree has its hardships just like
an individual. Every time there is a
strong wind and it is blown back and
forth, the tree is strengthened In
fact, ii needs that bending back and
forth to develop its powers of resist
ance just as we in our lives are made
better because OF our difficulties and
hardships. If We meet them and
overcome them, we are stronger and
better in our everyday lives and in
our attitude toward others. We are
of better fiber.

THE FOURTH OF JULY

1t has always been very foolish
custom to celebrate Uncle Sam S
birthday by killing and manning his
citizens and burning up his prop
erty. Yet for many years this has
been the method adopted of observ-
ing the Fourth of July. AS a result
the newspapers of July have each
year carried long list of accidents
and fatalities and fires resulting
from the burning of powder and the
use of fireworks.
The Fourth of July is one of the
red letter days in the history of this
nation and should be celebrated as
such, but the manner of observing
it needs improvement. The children
can make plenty of noise and have
plenty of fun without resorting to
dangerous explosives. There is no
sense in men risking their lives by
firing off anvils or antiquated fire
arms. rlTeWOThS WHICH are likely 10
start conflagrations should be ia
booed The programs planned with
the idea of bringing a crowd to town
to spend their money, and offering
no entertainment but a few races
and sports, pulled off on the hot
streets. should be relegated to the
scrap heap along with the saloons,
which always advocated them.
The old fashioned way of celebrat-
ing, when communities gathered in
some shady grove, enjoyed a good
patriotic program, a picnic dinner,
and an afternoon of social pleasure
with plenty of games and sports for
the children, is coming into its own
again and the result will be that par
ents can look forward with pleasure
instead of with dread, to the Fourth
of July.

TOO MANY TOLL GATES

Nearly everyone who has studied
or has had experience with the sys-
TEN OF distribution in the United
States agrees that it is too cumber-
some and that there are too many
toll gates along the road leading
from the producers to the ultimate
consumers. The farmers have no
quarrel with the professional men,
the bankers, the retail merchants or
any one who is rendering any use
ful service in either production or
distribution. They recognize the
necessity for and legitimate functions
OF these ayoeations. but they insist
upon the elimination of those spec
ulators, brokers and jobbers who

CANADIAN WHEAT PRICES

The value to farmers of beina
strongly organized is very nicely il
Illustrated by the experience of the
Canadian farmers in selling Their
wheat.
in Canada, as in the United States
the government took control of the
wheat. In Canada, however, organ
lied farmers were given representa-
ton on the control board. The Ca
madam farmers had competent men
to represent them on this board, men
who really understood the game
The minimum prices of wheat was
fixed for the year 1919 at $2.15, and
this was paid in cash when the farm
er delivered the wheat to the eleva-
tor. At the same time he received
his check he was given also a par
ticipation certificate, which showed
the number of bushels of wheat he
had sold at $2.15 and which indi-
Gated his right to participate in prof
it's over and above this minimum
price.
The wheat board was able to sell
the wheat considerably above the
minimum price. Mr.. Lambert, the
secretary of the Canadian Council of
Agriculture, told us recently that
these participation certificates given
to the farmers would be worth be-
tween so and 90 cents a bushel.
That is, the farmer got an original
price of $2.15 in cash at the time
OF delivery, aud now he will be able
10 cash in his participation certifi-
Gates for an additional price of be-
tween so and 60 cents for every
hushel of wheat he sold. Mr.. Lam
bert said the certificates might be
worth even more than the figure he
indicated. That means that the
farmers of Canada will get between
ninety and one hundred million dol
lars more for their 1919 wheat crop
than the minimum price of $2.15.
The farmers of the United States
sold their wheat on the basis of
$2.26 per bushel, They got no par
ticipation certificates. Whatever
profit above the minimum price was
made on the wheat grown in the
United States was made by some one
other than the producers.
This is very fine illustration of
the efficiency of a real farmers or
ganization.--Idaho Weekly Market

BOYS AND GIRLS PIG
CLUB EXCURSION

On Monday, July IL, we are going
to hold a boys and girls pig club
excursion. We are going to assem-
bic at Pullman and will visit the
hogs of G. O. Swales and Frank
Bush, also the State College
The object of this excursion is to
let the pig club members see the
ideal types of swine and to try and
get fixed in their minds the type Of
hog that they want to breed. We
can not make hog raisers of our boys
and girls unless we get them to rea-
lie what real hogs are. They have
got to get some ideal fixed in their
mind.
They will receive instructions in
judging swine and there will be con-
Quoted a swine Judging contest at the
same time. A breeder of pure bred
live stock must be a judge of live
stock.
We hope that every club leader
will plan to take the trip with his pig
club members. The county agent
will be able to take four in his car
from Colfax. We will meet at the
Palace hotel in Pullman at 1900
o clock.

the permanent directors from their

postal card to each member who has
signed the rider requesting him to

candidates thus named will be print
ed on a ballot which will be sent to

! c. w. Nelson, who has made such
fine record as manager of the Tri-
State Terminal company, has been
engaged as sales manager for this
years crop. A committee has been
appointed to look after the ware
housing of the grain at all points
where the Tri-State company has no
warehouses or elevators. ]. Q.
Adams is chairman of this commit
tee. His long practical experience
has made him an expert on ware
housing problems and his record of
having turned in more contracts than
any other field worker proves his
deep interest in the success of the
cooperative marketing movement.
This means that within the next
few days the plan for the co-opera-
tive marketing of wheat will actual
ly be launched and the Washington
and Idaho Wheat Growers Associa-
tions will be accomplished facts.
Plans have also been formulated to
continue with renewed vigor the
sign-up campaign which has been in
progress. While the committee was
in session contracts for over 200
/ 600 bushels were turned in as the
result of four days organized work
in the Walla Walla district Hun
dreds of farmers in Idaho and Wash
;ngton are ready to sign up as soon
as they can be reached and arrange
ments are being made to begin a
drive in Oregon.
The cooperative train is now
ready to start, the "All Aboard
signal has been given and the grow
ers who want to have their 1920
wheat crop marketed comparatively

CUTWORMS DEMAND
PROMPT ACTION
Poison Bait Formulas Given for Use
in Orchard and Garden

Cutworms are among the most
troublesome insects with which the
gardener has to deal. Every year
these insects, working generally
throughout the United States, de-
stroy a million dollars worth of
crops.
when the presence of cutworms
become noticeable in spring, prompt
action is necessary for their control, "
says e. S. Robertson, extension horti-
culturist of the State College. A poi
son bait which has become very eff
| fective in controlling them in the
orchard, garden or field is made up
as follows:
For garden use:
Al OF. Paris green, / a lbs. wheat
bran.
B-A of lemon or orange, a pint
of cheap syrup, 1 quart water.
To use in the orchard, the follow
ing amounts should be used
Al ID, Paris green, 20 lbs. wheat
bran.
B-3 lemons or oranges, pints of
cheap syrup, . II gallons water.
Mix (A) the bran and Paris
green dry and then stir into OBJ
which has previously been well
mixed.
Squeeze the juice from the fruit
and then chop fine as in a meat
chopper. Scatter along the rows or
around the hills at night or early in
the evening. The cutworm feeds at
night and if poisoned usually hides
in the ground or under rubbish be-
fore it dies. Be sure and keep the
chickens away from the bait, as it
is poison"
