Went so Bushels to Acre

Jack Bechtol sewed sacks on
American ridge a few days last
week. He said that 80 acres of
Jenkins Club wheat, raised by
FRANKIE and Harry Benscoter on the
Wade Keene place, averaged so
bushels to the acre. 1t is one of the
best yields on the ridge. The Ben
scooter boys are good farmers.
They have their fathers place rent
ed and also some of Wade Keene's
land. The boys were offered a
bonus of 10 cents a busnel for the
jenkins Club for seed, as it was
very clean and we'll matured.
A few years ago F. P. Benscoter
picked number of heads Of Jenkins
Club wheat from his field. He Sc
cured enough to plant an acle. He
got a good yield and later planted
IS acres, which furnished enough
seed to plant 300 acres. About 10O
acres of this amount is owned by
the Benscoters and the other 200 be.
longs to their neighbors.
County Agent Fletcher certified
the wheat IN the field and also after
it was threshed. He says it is pro.
badly the only absolutely pure
Jenkins Club wheat in the state
1t is botn fall and spring wheat
and according to B. F. Sheehan
state seed specialist, is one of the
best varieties for this section.

of grams and grasses has already
been received at the bank but the
farmers of the PotIatch country are
urged to save grains. grasses, veget-
ables and fruits so that they may be
added to the display. It will be a
fine thing for the country IT the
growers take an interest in the fair
and bring in sample OF the best
products of their farms.
The name of the grower of any
Individual exhibit will be attached
so that those who attend the fair
will know whose farm 1t came
from.
1t will mean a large amount o1
work to get up this exhibit and ar
range the display. The efforts Of
Mr.. Mcconnell should be appreciat
ed and he should be assisted by
everyone interested IN the Potlatct
country. 1t will be a splendid ad
vertisement for this section to hav'
a big display of farm product
where they can be seen by everyone
coming to Kendrick.
A premium list was issued SOM
time ago and anyone wishing t.
secure one may do so by applying

petition. Later they moved to Idaho
and the annual hunts were continu-
ed. After coming to Pendleton
both have hunted grouse with each
succeeding season.

! better than 1T was yesterday, for

Non-Partizans Spoke Here

The meeting held in the city park
last Friday evening by the non
partizan league. was not very we'll
attended. At $50 O'Clock the crowd
numbered 27. Very few farmers
were in attendance.
F. d. Falrchild OF Kuna, candid
ate for governor on the League
ticket, and F. P. Waters, organizer
for the League in this county, were
the speakers. They pointed out a
number of conditions that are fac
ing the people of the country today,
but offered practically nothing of a
constructive nature that might rea-
sonably be expected to combat these
evils.
+. D. Fairchild by his own state
ments said that few years ago he
started with practically nothing
Now he is very prosperous farmer
and a heavy landowner IN the
southern part of the state. His
word pictures of the oppression
practiced upon. the farmer by the
big interests" were not very well
illustrated by the success which he
has made farming.

Federal Aid Stimulates

The unprecedented stimulus CIV
en- highway construction in the
United States in the four years that
have passed since the Federal
Government entered upon its policy
of aiding improvement is shown by
the fact that road operations under
Federal aid road act thus far
initiated aggregate IN length nine
times the distance from New York
to San Francisco, according to
Thomas H. Macdonald, Chief of
the Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Depart tment of Agriculture.
The Federal Governments share in
this stupendous undertaking is
greater than the cost of the Panama
Canal. The participation of the
National Government IN highway
improvement marked departure
from d policy which had been fol
lowed for nearly century. Fed.
eraI cooperation with the States or
approximately a $50 50" basis has
counted more than any other factor
says Mr.. Macdonald, in initiating
highway construction that is being
carried on under adequate super
vision, and in accord with a pro
gram coordlnating local, state anC
national needs.
