SERVICE MONDAY NIGHT
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH

Monday night is usually an off nigh
for special meetings but the attend
ance at the Methodist Episcopa
church was good. The chorus was
full and there was a duet by Mrs
H. D. Martin and Mrs. H. HI. Orland
They sang a gospel song with fine eff
feet.
C. E. Hyer gave the minute mans
address. He said that to him the
Christian life meant victory. That
Christ gave man the power to over
come sin. That when Christ came to
him he had several evil habits such
as swearing, chewing and smoking
tobacco, losing his temper, etc., but
that the desire for these things was
taken entirely away. He said that it
would sound foolish for a man who
had been thief to say that he would
gradually stop his stealing by taking
less things each week and that like
wise it was folish to talk about grad
ually getting rid of other sins but
that Christ would come and give US
life in an instant so that we abhorred
evil things.
Prof. G. w. Chenowith was the
preacher last night. His text was
Psalms "A, 5.
Prof. Chenowith very cleverly
showed that of all the questions
which men have to answer, the ques-
tion of what they will do with Jesus
Christ is the most important. And
yet men who do not hesitate to an
swer other questions promptly, hedge
on this most important question of
life. He said that it was we'll for a
man to investigate his own life. If
his life was all that he thought then
he would not be disappointed. If not
then he ought to improve it. He said
the only thing that would demon
strate that a man did not sin was
offering Sacrifices Of righteous
ness" And the only way to be really
vitorious and balanced was to trust
in the Lord.

TIMBER LAND AGENT
TALKS ON FORESTRY
STUDENTS OF UNIVERSITY HEAR
GOOD TALK ON SAVING THE
NATIONAL FORESTS.

Legislation which authorizes the
U. S. forest service to accept timber
and timber land certificates for ma
tional forest lands would be of tre-
mendus value in solving the forestry
,prblem of this country, declared G. l..
Billings, land agent for northern
Idaho lumber company, before a
meeting of University of Idaho stu
dents today.
Mr.. Billings showed that within the
last few years the Importance Of land
exchange in blocking out and enlarg-
ing national forest areas had gained
such recognition that more than
thirty different bills dealing with ma
tional forest land exchange in speci-
fic localities throughout the west
were pending in the last session OF
congress. but he stated that general
Legislation covering the whole coln.
try was needed to properly meet the
situation.
Exchange of forest lands would be
Of value to the U. S. Forest Service

ment owned areas, and in facilitating
their protection, administration and

vantage to the private owner IN

and to the large owners in seeing a

AGED PIONEER WOMAN
CELEBRATES HER BIRTHDAY

Mrs. Julia Summerfield celebrated
her 18th birthday Sunday, March 13
She is a pioneer of Moscow, having
moved here so years ago last Septem-
ber and has lived here continuously
ever since.
In speaking to the writer who has
known her for many years she said:
II have never had any desire to leave
here, although the hardships of the
pioneer we're many and for long
time we had to haul our produce to
Almota or Penewawa over mere trails
that would be called impossible in
these days and often we had to 90 to
Walla Walla for our supplies, either
trip taking many days and the Indians
were not always friendly. But with
all this we were happy and folks
seemed to live closer to the command
ment Love thy neighbor as thyself.' :"
Mrs. Summerfield was one of the
committee that selected the site for
the Moscow Cemetery, and her first
husband, Mr.. Warmoth, was the SCh
person to be buried there. Mr.. Sum-
merfield died 23 years ago and side
by side the two sleep in this city of
the dead.
Mrs. Summerfield still owns the old
homestead 21a miles east of MOSCOW.
1t is now on the new highway and she
is proud of the fact that her home of
one-half century has never been trans
ferred or plastered by mortgage.
Her brother, William Frazier, also
owns his homestead just north of
hers-two pioneer farms of long ago,
two beautiful farms today.
Mrs. Summerfield has two children,
Dora, wife of J. A. Suddreth, who is
assistant postmaster of Moscow, and
the Oldest person lin point of s9rvice)
in the Moscow office. Her son, Char
les Summerfield is deputy sheriff of
Latah county. He married Nellie
Blake, only daughter of DR.. Henry
B. Blake, pioneer doctor of Moscow.
Mrs. Summerfield is in very poor
health and is quite feeble but is al
ways glad to see her friends, espec-
tally those of pioneer days.

NOX|OUS WEED SEED
IN IDAHO ClOVERS
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION SER
VICE WARNS PRODUCERS OF
NEED OF PURE SEEDS.

"This spring there will be large
quantities of field seeds such as
clover and alfalfa available for very
low price," says C. B. Allison, assist
ant field agronomist of the university
extension division. estate laboratory
tests show that only 80 per cent of
this seasons clover and alfalfa seed
is free from the noxious weed seeds.
That means that seven growers out
of ten throughout the majority of
the seed growing counties have seed
which contains frem % to 10000 or
more noxious weed seeds per pound.
"The seed trade is demanding only
high quality seed. likewise are the
farmers demanding better seed for
seeding purposes. Time and effort
are both wasted by planting lots
which produce an unmarketable pro-
duct. Every experienced farmer
realizes the supreme Importance OF
selecting clean seed. This fact is be-
coming more evident each day, The
proportion of farmers samples sent
into the state seed laboratory, Boise,
as compared with dealers have in
creased very materially this last sea
son, approximating 200 per cent in
crease. The county agents in several
counties have been influential in Gre
ating a desire for tested seed.
"The most serious pest is the dod-
der. Ninety per cent OF all samples
condemned this season have been
condemned on account of the presence
of this noxious weed. Other weeds
causing considerable concern are
buckhorn, poverty weed, hoary cress
and mustard Objectionable weeds
once introduced on a farm will be a
continual menace. To know the
quality of any lot of seed is extreme
ly important.
Labelling should be complete.
Dealers and farmers who are selling
seed for planting are required to
mark in a plain and indelible man
ner: (1) Name of agricultural seed;
(2) Name and address of the person
selling, offering or exposing for sale
such seed; (3) Grader and date of
grade; (4) The kinds and number per
pound of noxious weed seeds contain
ed therein, using their common
names. The last is important
because purity of $3.50 per
cent does not guarantee the lot to be
free from noxious weeds. The pres
ance of more than 27 noxious weed !
seeds per pound condemns the sample.
The desired information can be OBJ
tained free of charge by sending
two-ounce sample to the state seed

NINE MEN SENT TO
CALIFORNIA FARMS
VOCATIONAL TRAINING MEN
WILL BE GIVEN OPPOR-
TUNITY TO GET LAND.

Nine vocational agricultural stu
dents at the University of Idaho hav,
received appointments to the Mac
Dewitt project in Imperial valley
California, and will report there OF
March 25, for training, H. L. Rich
ards, supervisor at the university fol
vocational education, announced to.
day.
The men selected are: Prescott
Burrows, Blackfoot; Loren Kitch
Troy, William Mathews, Seattle
Leonard Snelson, Filler; Harry HUI
me, Wilder; John Sparks, American
Falls; Leo Schroeder, Frazier; Ar
thur Knutson, Moscow and James
Cox, Potlatch.
MacDevitt project was originated
for the purpose of enabling service
men with lung DISABILITIES to go to a
healthful climate and there become
cured or at least benefited. Mac
Dewitt, who has organized compeny
to finance the undertaking, was few
years ago suffering from lung trouble
and regained his health in Imperial
valley. While there he gained owner
ship of some six thousand acres of
land which will now be used for re-
habilitating ex-soldiers.
The Federal Board, the American
Legion and benevolent solder organi-
cations have investigated the plans
and approved them. Men go on their
own responsibility, for two years re-
ceive a combined theoretical and
practical course in agriculture, and
at the end of that time it is expected
that sufficient profits will have ac-
crued for each man to gain possess
sion of tract of land. Specially
trained men, acquainted with farming
problems of that section, will act as
instructors and overseers. Each man
works his individual tract and some
will act as supervisors and instruc-
tors. While men are starting out
they remain on the payroll of the vo
cational board.
Trainees first go on a 90-day try
out and if at the end of that time
men in charge decide they are un-
fitted, the men leave and will prob
ably be returned to their district for
further training under their original
schedules. If, however, both parties
are satisfied, the man enters two
year training period.
The Idaho trainees were selected on
the basis of three points of equal I'M
port. Married men were given pref
erence as it is believed they will have
greater appreciation of their response
bilities. Lung disabilities were con-
sidered as this is the primary purpose
of the project and third, the practical
experience of each man was taken
into account. Six of the Idaho men
are married and two more will soon
join the ranks of the benedicts, eight
have lung trouble, in some form and
none has had less than five years of
practical farming experience.
''The leaving of the Idaho delegates
will be a considerable loss to the
ranks of the vocational men as there
were several outstanding individuals
in the group" said Mr.. Richards to-
day, "but in the event that the Mac
Dewitt project does not appeal to them
they will probably be returned to the
for further rtaining."

Dragging The Streets.

The dragging Of Moscow's dirt
streets as soon as they are dry enough
after each rain has been adopted and
is proving a great help in keeping
the streets in fairly good condition.
Monday many of the most important
streets, over which there is the heav-
lest travel, were dragged and smooth
ed off nicely. 1t has been found by
experience that dragging dirt streets
and country roads, if practiced reg
ularly after each rain or wet period
keeps them in good condition except
during the extremely wet seasons.
Splendid work has been done along
this line this spring.

experience in a practical way. He
is a graduate of the Massachusetts,
Agricultural College, and spent two
years in charge of poultry extension
work with Iowa Agricultural College

leges of the United States. The poul-
try department has been without a
