Tin Cup Fare

Relief Meal
Continued from pags one)

Since this nation is spending a billion
dollars annually supporting automo-
biles, another billion dollars or ice
cream, cosmetics and chewing gum. a
few billion more on drinks, tobacco
and other luXuries, it has not reached
point of destitution that warrants re-
fusal to buy happiness and cheerful
ness for this mass of children.
"Ideed, the care Of children is the
most cheerful of occupations. Laugh
ter and Joy in children has a quantita-
tive relationship to the number Of cal
cries that we can stuff into them. You
,an make sure that every meal served
to a child in Europe brings a ripple Of
laughter and squeak Of JOY. The
pathos Of this service rests only in
tragedy that lies behind these mites.
But in the occupation that you and I
are devoting ourselves to in the pro-
vision Of food, clothing and medical
sc vices to these children, we arc in
deed inspiring happiness, not only in
millions Of children, but inspiring
courage and resolution in millions of
their parents"
James A. Flaherty, Supreme knight
Of the Knights Of Columbus, suggested
that $5,00O,000 remaining from the
United War fund drive might be
turned over to the European Relief
Council. lie said it would provide for
500, 900 children this winter.

Erickson Estate Dwindles

The New York Trust Company, exccu-
tor and trustee Of the c-tate of A can
der H. Erickson, applied in Surrogates'
Court yesterday for judicial settlement
OF It's accounts and relief from further
management of the estate.
Mr.. Erickson died on October 26, 1918.
and while the apparent value of his cs-
tate is 81, 1,391 ,S06, its actual value is un.
certain because of the doubtful worth
OF some Of the assets
Many judgments obtained against the
decedent several years prior to his
dcath had not been satisfied the trust
company found, and the signing of the
armlsticc sixteen days after his death
reduced the earnings of several freight
forwarding corporations in which Mr..
Erickson was associated with Frank F..
Boulton.
More than 100000 in securities was
used to pay claims against the Erick-
son estate and much of what remains
consists of interests in corporations
which are not paying dividends.

VALUE TO FARMERS OF
EXPERIMENT STATIONS

The following article which ap-
peared in current issue of Hoard's
Dairyman is quoted as it is thought
that it may clear up the confusion
that may exist in the minds of some
of the farmers as to the purpose OF
the college farm" Dean Thatcher,
the man quoted by the magazine,
was formerly stationed at Pullman:
= ut is not uncommon for farmers
to look upon colleges of agriculture
as institutions to teach farmers how
to operate their farms. They con-
slider their experiment stations insti-
tutions which follow good farm
practices. These ideas are erron-
eous. The experiment station is to
discover facts-new agricultural
truths. The agricultural colleges are
established to teach facts concerning
agriculture. Dean Thatcher of the
Minnesota College of Agriculture has
said:
Since experiment stations are
usually located in connection with
some school or college, visitors often
get the mistaken notion that the ex-
can be ascertained. When these
pertinent laboratories or barns, or
the plot works in the fields, are to
teach them how to farm, and we Of
ten hear visitors comment on how
they themselves do better farming
than is done at these stations. This
is quite true. The experiments are
not intended to teach them how to
farm; but are for the purpose OF
finding out facts and must often be
done in an uneconomical way or i'm
proper way in order that the cause

NEW IDEA IN WHALE HUNTING

The mammoth of the sea is all
set for combat with the mammoth
of the air, and if the Pacific coast
whales only knew the 'blimp wbal-
ing" plans that are on foot among
the old-time whale fisherman it is
safe to wager they would apply for
passports to mid-Pacific waters.
Captain John Loop, a. Long Beach
skipper famed as hunter of levia-
thans, veteran though he is, keeps
step with the times, and has worked
out whaling trip with P. X. Coe,
aeronauNc sales manager for the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber company of
California, using the Goodyear pony
blimp as a whaling craft.
The scheme is to harpoon the
sportive ocean giant from the air.
The blimp pilot releases a trigger
and the. harpoon seeks out its tar
get. A long rope is fastened to the.
end of the harpoon and on the other
end of the rope is buoy which
serves as marker for the boatmen
who hover nearby to capture the
whale when he comes up for air.

Alfalfa Hay
a Leader Crop =. -.....
in the State

| Little prominence and publicity is
given to the states hay industry be-
cause of the fact that it is COM
mon crop grown on practically every
farm and because SO much of it is
consumed at home. Idaho being a
prominent stock-raising state, feed
yards are common and the home
market takes a large portion of the
crop. But even though the home
market consumes considerable por-
tion of the hay, in the neighborhood
of $4,000 cars are shipped annually.
Twelve thousand four hundred and
fifty-eight cars were shipped from
0. S. L. railroad points in Idaho in
1919.
The market during the past sea-
son can we'll be termed a local mar
ket because most of the surplus hay
in Idaho has been shipped to the
drouth-stricken sections of Montana,
Wyoming and Utah, and also into
some sections of Nevada. Never in
the history Of the state has there
been such steady demand upon hay
supplies at such steady prices. Pro-
ducers received from SIS to $22.50
per ton for standard or better al
falfa hay, but this is no criterion
of what was paid by the consuming
public because speculation in this
necessity was common, and generally
speaking the consumer, whether in
Idaho, Utah, Wyoming or Montana,
paid from $40 to $55 per ton.
This prosperity has been growth
for several years past and, in fact,
has grown steadily since the price
of Sc and IS was common. Al
though these high prices have
meant much to the producers of hay
for the time being, it is difficult to
say what the outcome will be be-
cause of the serious effect upon our
most important stock industry. Be
cause of the high-priced hay and
curtailed credit, the sheepmen and
cattlemen find themselves confront
ed with disaster. In many cases the
stockman's danger must, regardless
of his own desire, compel a general
reduction in the number of flocks
and herds. No one would be able
at this time to consistently guess as
to what limit the curtailment of the
stock industry will place upon the
marketing of this seasons hay, but
depression in the ranks OF these
most important consumers is bound
to cause depression on our farms.
Big producers of alfalfa are now
eagerly seeking market and in
formation regarding prices and the
general feeling seems to be that SIS
and $40 hay in the stack will not be-
in evidence this year. The markets
of neighboring states are of necessi-
ty thing of the past to big por-
ton of Idaho, and it appears newt
able that Idaho's hay must seek the
eastern markets where it's quality
has always found favor and more es-
pecially with eastern dairyman. If
this assumption be correct, the grad
ing of hay, started last year by the
department of agriculture, will be
entirely essential and will play vi
tai part in the marketing of Idaho's
surplus Weekly Markets Bulletin.

at should ever be borne in nina
that no one can give specific direc-
lions for operating particular farm
unless thoroughly familiar with it.
The colleges of agriculture teach ag-
ricultural truths. and the experiment
stations discover agricultural facts,
but each farmer must apply them as
they can be adapted to soil and con-
ditiOns of his farm.
