The Idaho Seedgrowers' associa ton
plans to assume an aggressive policy
for placing the Idaho certified seed
on the market as an Idaho product.
"There is every reason to believe
that there will always be heavy de-
mand for pure seed" says a state
ment from Mr.. Sheehan's office. "Not
every section of this country can pro-
duce the small seeds, so must rely
upon the intermotntain country for
their supply. The soil and climatic
conditions make Idaho supreme in the
production of bright-colored, high
quality seed This live seed has here
tofore been mixed with eastern, dull
colored seed and consequently not rec
ognized and sold as an Idaho product.

speaks well for the Idaho potato. We

a concentrated effort is necessary to
secure clean lots, plant in clean fields
and reap the clean product, and the

pure seed industry in, Idaho"

MRS. S. {. HUTT0N'S
MOTHER CALLED HOME
MRS. PETER SOMA, OF BOISE,
DIED AT LOS ANGELES

Word reached Moscow Thursday

The news came in telegram from
Mrs. S. E. Hutton, who was with her

Sonna's death was due to pneumonia
following influenza. The funeral ar
rangements had not been made wher
the telegram was sent.
Miss Permeal French, dean of wo-
men at the University of Idaho, who
knew the family intimately, has
given the following ably written
statement concerning Mrs Soma, her
life and the family. Miss French's
statement follows:
"The news of the death of Mrs.
Peter Soma, who passed away in
Los Angeles this morning comes as
a great shock and brings sorrow to
her many friends in Moscow
"From the telegram received from
her daughter, Mrs. S. E. Hutton, who
was visiting with her in California
it is learned that Mrs. Soma was
stricken with pneumonia ten days
ago.
the worth of this noble woman. Mrs.
Soma was a real Idaho woman; she
was but a very young girl when she
came to Boise with her mother. She
has lived there through the half cen
tury period to be loved and respected
by all who knew her. Her character
was positive, her views definite and
or keen, her charity unbounded, her
religion broad and real To know her
was to know why she was held in SO
great esteem. Mrs. Soma loved hu-
manity and she loved nature, both re-
sponded to her care; flowers bios
somed in profusion for her and think
ing of her in their midst will be a
sweet memory of this greatly loved
woman.

SOUTHERN IDAHO
HAS PLENTY OF HAY
SHARP DECLINE IN PRICES Is
QUOTED RUPERT HAS
THOUSANDS OF TONS

RUPERT, Idaho.-Although many
stockmen throughout the intermount-
ain country are under the impression
that hay is very scarce, reports are
to the effect that on the Minidoka
project there are in the neighborhood
of from 5000 to 10000 tons of hay
unsold, says a statement issued by
the Minidoka county farm bureau.
Ebay has been selling at $50 on
track" says this statement, "but the
market price declined last week. At
the present time considerable hay
can be bought at 500 in the stack.
The distance from shipping points
makes about $6 to So for baling and
shipping in addition to the above
price The farm bureau office, at
Rupert, Idaho, will gladly cooperate
with anyone wishing hay at this fig
ure. Farmers are willing to take
reasonable price for their hay and q
number have reported that they still
have hay for sale.

the quality of seed they buy. Farm
ers should buy on grade from reli-
able firms and then have their seed
analyzed by the state seed analyst. A
test costs nothing and it allows the
farmer to have absolute check on the
kind of seed he is getting.
"When seed is purchased, inquiry
should be made as to where the seed
was grown. In every case seed grown
in this country or in this particular
section is preferable to foreign seed,

with clover seed at such a pre-
MUM, unusual care should be taken
to get the most out of the seed sown.
1t will not pay to throw expensive
seed on poorly ground, as
was often done when cloyer was
cheap. The seed bed should be clean,
firm and well prepared.
Farmers are usually satisfied with
seed of an inferior grade. This is
one of the places where a farmer
should not economize. The use of
poor seed is an expensive way to
practice economy. In the long run,
seed of the higher price and naturally
of a far better grade should be used.
Too often, yields are cut down by the
use of poor seed. And not only that,
but also an endless fight on noxious
weeds may be the result. Every pre-
caution should be taken to purchase
seed free from noxious weeds, and the
surest means is to buy on grade.''

IDAHO SEEDCROWERS
PLANNING PROGRAM
COOPERATIVE WORK IN 1920 EX-
PECTED TO BRING SATISFAC-

| An active and definite program fol
| the Idaho Seedgrowers' association
for this year already is under way
which, it is expected by the officers
of the association, will make the
seed show in Nampa in 1921 even
more successful than any that yet has
been held.
Four specific lines of work growing
out OF the interest shown in the pure
seed movement throughout the state
and from discussions held at Pocatel-
10, have been announced by B. F.
Sheehan, field agronomist of the Uni
versity of Idaho extension division,
who is secretary and treasurer of the
Idaho Seedgrowers' association. The
objects are: to compile and publish
the discussions, minutes and resolu-
tions of the joint conference; to in
creaseA inspection and certification
work; to list the certified seed grow
ers in pure seed catalog; and to
market certified seed as Idaho seed
Each speaker has furnished type
written copy of his speech delivered
at the seed show. These discussions
cover the beet seed industry, seed po-
tatoes in Idaho, seed certification and
inspection, federal grain standards on
the Pacific coast, the small seed sit
uatiOn in Idaho and other information
Of interest to the seed growers of the
state. The compilation of these, with
the minutes and resolutions, will be
sent to all members of the Idaho Seed
growers association Immediately up
on publication.
Field inspection for certification is
to be carried on through the county
farm bureaus. Farmers who are in
terested in growing certified seed will
take the work up as project. When
the time for field inspection comes,
the county agent is to be notified. The
field agrOnomist or his assistants will
then make the inspection and sug-
gest plans for rogueing, if necessary,
and give such other Information as
may be necessary to assist in secur-
ing certified seed.
The association plans to publish
the list of certified seed growers as a
means of furthering the dissemina-
tion of pure seed of the varieties
which have proven most successful
for the various sections Of Idaho. By

INFLUENZA SPREADS
OVER UNITED STATES
LOCAL SITUATION ABOUT THE
SAME-CHICAGO DEATHS IN
CREASE-AT LEWISTON

The influenza situation is the CHIEF
topic of interest throughout the
United States. The disease is spread
Z ing slowly but it is mild in most
places. Comparatively few deaths
are reported. There are a few very
serious cases in Moscow and at least
three more deaths are expected al
most any time, but many of the cases
are mild and some of those who were
taken i'll when the disease first ap-
peared, are again out on the streets
Mrs. Peter Soma, mother Of Mrs
s. E. Hutton, of Moscow, died at Los
Angeles, California, this morning of
pneumonia, following influenza,
showing the disease is widespread.
Chicago reports marked increase in
pneumonia cases, many deaths from
pneumonia and influenza but the
number of new cases of influenza has
decreased rapidly and steadily since
last Saturday, the high point of the
wave.
Spokane has hundreds of cases and
is fitting up an emergency hospital
in the old skating rink. Every town,
village, city and settlement in the
west reports the disease increasing.
Pullman has only about 100 cases but
is preparing for the worst. Pullman
had more than 100 deaths during the
siege last year. Lewiston is also fit
ting up an emergency hospital and
three deaths were reported from
there yesterday. The Lewiston Tri-
bune of this morning says:
Three More Victims Yesterday.
The need of the emergency hospital
was brought to the attention of the
officials yesterday with impelling
force when it was learned that the
two Lewiston hospitals are already
filled to congestion and that there are
many cases of influenza in the city
that should be in hospitals where the
care of trained nurses will be avail
able. Three additional deaths in the
city as result of the epidemic, caus-
ed the officials to take prompt action
to provide the needed hospital facili-
ties.
There were many new cases of in
fluenza reported yesterday and the
three victims of the disease were:
5Uf1n Clinton Sherar, aged 81 years.
Gaylord Skinner, aged Is months.
Mrs. Frances Stafford, aged 191
years.
There were five deaths in the city
yesterday but the other two deaths
were not caused by influenza.
The emergency hospital will be
conducted by the Red Cross and all
matters connected with it's manage
ment will be in the hands of the Red |
Cross officials. kilograms were sent
out last night to secure the necessary
equipment and. it is expected the hos
pital will be III readiness to receive
patients by the first of the week.
The Masons were more than willing
to furnish their quarters for the care
of the afflicted and the best of facili
ties will be available There are about
twelve large rooms on the two floors
that can be devoted to hospital pur-
poses. A complete kitchen is already
IN place and plenty of dishes are in
the closets for all purposes. The
rooms are all we'll heated, well venti
lated and are served with hot and
