THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
If 1 had boy of school age, no mat
ter if he expected to follow the pro-
fessi0n of law, medicine, the min

would insist that he take course of
training in one of our agricultural col
leges or in the agricultural depart
ment of one of our universities. /
would do this as matter of applied
science of technical training and a
practical application of the things for
which education is maintained With
the world dependent upon the agricul-
tural products of the country for most
OF the necessaries of life, no one can
afford to be ignorant of the subject,
nor of the sciences to which it is re-
lated. 1t would be hundred times
better to neglect the foreign langu-
ages, Greek, Latin, German and
French, than to neglect the scientific
basis of the worlds food suppIy-The

There is much food for thought in
Governor McConnell's suggestion that
boy scouts and school boys and girls
be employed in the sugar beet fields
and the orchards and on the farms of
Idaho during the busy season which
usually comes during the schools va
cations, instead of bringing dirty, IL
1iterate and frequently immoral Mex
1cans here to do this work. Governor
mcdonnell is man of wide and var
1ed experience. He knows the state
as few men know it and he never
makes suggestion until he has given
the matter deep thought. If the plan
suggested by Governor Mcconnell can
be carried out it will mean much not |
only to the farmers, fruit growers and |
beet growers, but it will mean much |
TO the boys and girls of Idaho if they |
can start bank accounts with their |
own earnings.

us Uncle Sans Word Good?" asks
the Yakima Indians, whose chief Men
mock has gone to Spokane to inter-
ney. The United States made treaty
with the Yakima Indians many years
ago, in which it was agreed that the
Indians who went upon the Yakima
perpetual rights to fish at all seasons
of the year in the Yakima river The
Indians depend upon fish to a large
extent, for their living The state
game warden stopped them from fish
ing and the state courts have upheld
the game warden. 1t is to be hoped
that the Indians learn that 9'Uncle
Sans word is good" and that
promise made to the ancestors of the
young Indians on the reservations is
to be kept inviolate

Herbert Hoover is regarded by many l.
interests as a strong candidate for
president But can Herbert run the
gauntlet of women of the United States
who were forced to use barley, rye
rice, corn, feteretta and potato flour
at extortionate prices during the war,
while the price of wheat and wheat
flour were controlled by Mr. Hoovers
food administration and spectators
we're permitted to graft on all flour
substitutes? We fear that when a
woman voter enters the booth to ex-
ercise her recently gained rights" the
sight of Mr. Hoover's name on the bal
lot may bring up visions of black
bread, in which case the results will
be disastrous for the former food
