SALVATION ARMY
PLANS FOR IDAHO
ESTABLISH ADVISORY BOARDS
IN EVERY COUNTY OF WASH
INGTON AND IDAHO

The Salvation Army, which won
such a warm place in our hearts by
its splendid war work, has launched
throughout Washington and Idaho its
1920 home service program, which in
cludes the extension of its service to
every village and hamlet.
Having begun it's work in the
slums of the large cities, the organi-
zation now plans to branch out and
extend its helping hand to the small
town and isolated community.
In doing so the Army hopes to reach
the source of many of the disquieting
streams that flow continuously to-
wards the large cities. Thus by
curbing the stream before it grows
into torrent, the new program aims
at prevention rather than cure.
In every county in Washington and
Idaho advisory boards composed of
teh most representative citizens in
their respective communities are be-
ing established to cooperate with the
Salvation Army in Systematically re-
lieving distress and endeavoring by
study and application to reduce the
causes that are so productive of So
cial disorders in the cities.
In this work the Salvation Army
aims not to duplicate the activities of
any other social or religious agency.
It's purpose is the fullest utilization
of the vast machinery for social
service which it's forty years of work
has constructed.
Among the departments and agen-
ices that can best be utilized by the
county advisory boards are: The en-
ergency relief, missing friends bur
eau, juvenile industrial and agricul-
tural schools for delinquents; de-
pendent and orphaned children,
young women's boarding homes, res
cue and maternity homes and indus
trial homes for men.

MADE BIG PROFITS
ON HIS POTATOES
CHARLESTON MAN SOLD POTA-
TOES IN FANCY BOXES TO
MOSCOW MERCHANTS

CLARKSTON, Wash.-A net re-
turn of $500 an acre is the yield OF
seven and one-half acres of potatoes
which Clinton H. Hamm, Fourteenth
and Poplar streets, will finish dig
ging and marketing this week. The
yield he's produced AZ tons of pota-
toes, the gross receipts Of which will
exceed $5000 Mr.. Hamm has sold
the entire crop at prices ranging
from 67a cents to 4 " cents a pound
to produce houses in Spokane, Pull
man, Moscow, Colfax and Lewiston
His expenses have been heavy and he
does not expect the net profit to ex-
ceed $500.
Mr.. Hamm has shipped the entire
crop by truck. By packing the pota--
toes in 70-pound lug boxes instead of
shipping in sacks he has commanded
highest prices and every order he
has filled has been repeated.
Up to yesterday Mr.. Hamm
shipped nine truck loads, totalling 27
tons. He has sold truckload locally
and had three more to ship. He sends
80 lugs in each load.
Charges for Boxes.
He charges the produce houses for
the gross weight Of each box of po-
tatoes. AS the empty boxes weigh
eight pounds, this more than offsets
their cost, which is 36scents.
The potatoes are the Carman and
American Wonder varieties, and are
of good quality and size, averaging
in size about as large as mans
fist. Gull potatoes ran about per
cent. Many of these he sold as sec
ond grade.
Three carloads of fertilizer were
csattered on the field last winter at
cost of $780, This Mr.. Hamm
considers small item of expense
when compared with the gross or net
returns. He has harvested the crop
with eight helpers. The harvest has
taken about two weeks.

WASHINGTON-D Disposal Of more

aging caretakers and 139 are in stor-
age yards. One hundred and seven
of those in storage" are finished
hulls while 80 are converted barges.
Officials of the board say that
when the serviceability of the wooden
fleet has been demonstrated little diff
ficulty will be experienced in turning
at over to private ownership at about
$50 ton. These vessels were built
in an emergency, many of green tim
Der, and some of them made poor
showings year or two ago but now
that they have Seasoned" officers Of
the board consider them practical
cargo carriers.
Because Of the bad record of some
of the vessels operators have con-
demned them all, officials declare,
whereas, the records of those now in
operation show very creditable per-
-formances. One wooden ship out of
six round trips across the Atlantic.
at sea 500 days and in port an equal
number was laid up for repairs only
20 days.
To date 532 wooden and composite
ships, aggregating 1,948, 25O dead
weight tons, consisting of 322 cargo
ships, one tanker, 115 finished hulls,
: ten sailing craft, Sc hulls converted
into barges and 20 standard barges,
have been delivered to the board. A
total of la of these vessels, aggreg-
ating 397, 7,285 deadweight tons, has
been sold and IL totalling 44,546
tons have been lost at sea.
The total cost of the construction
of this fleet, estimated by the board
at $170 a deadweight ton, was ap-
proximately $333,00O,OO0. Sale of
100000 tons now held by the board
at $50 ton would yield $135 900 900.
Those already sold brought about
28,000,000 so that if the 4O6 re-
manning in the governments possess
sion are disposed of to private own
ers the total loss through the wooden
ship venture would be something like
$170, 100000.

IDAHO SHEEP AND
POTATOES PAY WELL
WOOL POOL SHOWS BIG IN
CREASE ANNUALLY-POTA
TO ACREAGE INCREASED

The Boise Valley Sheep Breeders
association pool began four years ago
with 1900 pounds of wool, and in
creased to 10000 pounds, 10000
pounds and 255,OOO pounds in sue
ceeding years. Charles A. Cairns is
manager of the pool
Cyrus Young, sheep club member
on his fathers farm near Twin
Groves, is the owner of 16 grade
sheep, an outgrowth of his beginning
two years ago with one 'bum" lamb.
He is planning to sell his grades and
to buy a number of purebred Cor
riedales.
Lea and Helen Turner have taken
their father, D. R. Turner of Ada
county into partnership. These young
sheep club members began with one
lanmb five years ago; today they own
with their father GA sheep, sack
and a half of wool and $100 in Lib
erty bonds as result of the venture.
]. W. Barber, assistant county
agent of Cassia county, has been en-
ployed to give particular attention to
potato growing and club work. Sew
eral potato clubs have already been
formed among the boys.
The Idaho potato acreage is placed
at $4,000 acres, or a gain of 1000
acres over last year. A year ago, the
condition was only rs per cent of
normal and the final outturn amount
ed to 100000 bushels. The present
condition is 95 per cent of normal,
forecasting a total crop of 6,186,400
bushels.
Thirty-two seed potato plots have
been started, under farm bureau
auspices in Cassia county this year,
according to F. W. Cater, project
leader. The plots have been planted
on clean ground, which have not been
sown to potatoes for some time. Ex-
cursions will frequently be made to
these plots to show growers the
various conditions under which the
potatoes are being raised

FARM BUREAU BOOTH
At THE STATE FAIR
PERMANENT HEADQUARTERS
FOR FARM BUREAU JUNIOR
CLUBS TO BE PROVIDED

BOISE.-Permanent quarters are
to be provided on the state fair
grounds for the farm bureau junior
club members who encamp annually
at the fair, if campaign now being
undertaken on behalf of the club
youngsters fulfills it's purpose.
Plans for two dormitories and a
mess hall have been prepared and
campaign to raise funds for the build
ing of one dormitory and the mess
hall this fall already is under way.
Trustees of this campaign, ac-
cording to an announcement from the
office of the junior section of the
university extension division, are
Governor D. w. Davis, R. F. Bicknell,
Boise Banker; w. H. Thompson,
president of the state fair associa-
ton; C. B. Ross of Parma, president
of the state farm bureau; w. F. AL
worth of Twin Falls, former state
farm bureau president; j. Robb
Brady of Pocatello; and c. j. Call of
Rigby, vice-president of the state
farm bureau,
The kitchen and dining room, all
under one roof, will cost $4,000, with
all equipment, it is estimated. The
dormitories, only one of which is to
be built this year, will cost approxim-
ately $1,000 each.
"The growth of club work or farm
bureau junior work in Idaho demands
the procedure followed in nearly all
the other states in t1e union doing
successful club work, namely the as
sembling at the state fair of all coun-
ty champion demonstration teams,"
says statement from the state club
office.
"Last year." says this statement,
"68 of these boys and girls camped
in tents, and the tents were unsatis-
factory from the standpoint of COM
fort, convenience and sanitation. This
year we expect 150 to ITO club boys
and girls from all parts of the state.
Other states have made and are MAX
ing similar provision. Iowa is now
a building to accommodate
400 children.
NEARLY 5000 boys and girls are en-
gagged in club work this year in can
ming. gardening, cooking, sewing,
handicraft, bread, potato, beet, corn,
wheat, poultry, sheep, dairy and beef
calf and pig club work. These boys
and girls are the future farmers and

TIMBER FIRES IN
NORTHERN IDAHO
MOSCOW MOUNTAIN ENVELOP-
ED IN SMOKE-GREEN TIM
BER BURNING UP NORTH

Forest fires, believed to have been
started by lightning and by careless
campers, are menacing the timber of
northern Idaho and eastern Washing
ton. For two days Moscow mountain
has been enveloped in smoke believed
to come from forest fires on the other
side of the mountain, which drifts
/ across the top during the evening,
! night and early morning hours, when
! the air is heavy and the smoke seeks
lower levels. Last night there was a
| pail of smoke over the mountain and
the glare of flames could be seen re-
| Elected in the sky. The location of
the fires has not been learned. In
northern Idaho, eastern Washington
and western Montana the fires are
| spreading according to the following
dispatch.
Situation lis Worse.
SPOKANE.-The forest fire situa-
ton in eastern Washington, Idaho
and western Montana is worse today
than it has been since the fires began
six days ago, three new fires in valu-
able green timber and another fire
endangering the Little Spokane
Light & Power company near Milan,
Wash, being reported yesterday.
Government forest service officials
at both the Spokane and Coeur
d'Alene fire offices report "pretty
high wind" in the st. Joe, Priest
River and Coeur d'Alene forests, and
that several new fires and some of
the old ones are spreading rapidly.
"Three or four more hot days like
this will mean the largest forest
fires the northwest has seen for
years." declared F. R. Ingalsbe, su-
perintendent of the Spokane office,
today. "The local office has already
sent out 536 fire fighters and it is
estimated that there are nearly 1000
men fighting the various fires at the
present time"
The county authorities received a
call for help to fight timber fire
two miles north of Milan, Wash. The
fire is nearing the electric power
plant of the Little Spokane Light &
Power company, which furnishes
light for Milan, Deer Park and Chat
taroy. 1t is owned by Frank F. Men
denhall.
W. w. Weaver, superintendent of
the Coeur d'Alene office, declared
that the Three Sisters fire, 80 miles
from Avery, which has already
burned nearly 1000 acres of brush
and timber, is beyond control and
headed toward valuable green timber.
Two new fires in green timber an
nounced yesterday are at Bennett
creek on the st. Joe river, 20 miles
above Avery and at Stoddard Louie
creek off the Clearwater river. Fire
fighting crews are being rushed to
both of these places.
Wind High.
'The wind was quite high yester-
day and the fires which were under
control are getting away from the
fighters again this morning." de-
clared Mr. Weaver. "Unless rain
comes or the weather becomes cooler,
the situation will be very, very bad in
few days"
Information received at the Spo-
kane office today would indicate that
serious fires in valuable timber have
broken out within the last "a hours
near Troy. Mont. Orders for SO men
were received this morning from that
point. Other acquisitions here today
are "a men for Bonners Ferry; 10
men for Harrison, Idaho; six for
Kooskia, Idaho, and Is men for the
Avery fire.
