Fertilizer Saving

Farmers of Jefferson county are saving about one-half the cost of fer tilizer by paying cash and purchasing
 in bulk.
 H. L. Brown, county agent. said yes terday: We have bought about 300 tons of fertilizer altogether this sea-
 son. The set price was about $42. but We have gotten it at around $21. We
 pay cash, and get it in bulk, the farm CT doing his own mixing.
 "The fertilizer people are co-oper> lating with us. Cash helps lot The fertilizer man feels more like granting concessions when he gets cash, and
 the farmers have done their financing with the banks rather than place that
 load on the fertilizer mill"

 The principal speaker of the eve ming. John c. Henley. Birmingham Rotarian of the Birmingham Publish ing company, proved real find. He delivered an address of an extraordi- nary kind, one in which often it could not be told where he was headed. but he always arrived at fine point.

Interest in Dairying

"Soe many inquiries with regard to the creamery are coming in that we have had to secure a stenographcr to care for the correspondence" said George R. Smith, Jr., financial secre-
 tary of the Mountain Grove Creamery company.
 Many wish to know how to ship
 their butterfat. We have heard from a gentleman who proposed to buy 50 cows and go into the business of sup plying us with butterfat. One man
 writes us that he has 50 milch cows
 without market for any portion of their product.
 There is no doubt that a great in-
 terest exists in the dairying business in Alabama. and We have not the slightest fear of securing the butter fat. Alabama has given us a cordial
 welcome and we are going to make good on it.

GEORGE 7. WALKER WINS
JEROME DAY SCHOLARSHIP

Announcement that George T.
Walker, a graduate of the Wallace
high school, had won the Jerome j..
Day scholarship in the school of
mines of the University of Idaho was
made today by a committee consist
ing of DR.. E. A. Bryan, state COM
missioner of education, President A.
H. Upham and Francis A. Thomson,
dean of the school of mines. This
scholarship affords the holder an in
come of $3.50 a year for the four
years of his college course. A four
year appointment is made each year.
Loyola Fay of Mullan, Idaho, was
close contender for the scholarship,
the committee announced. In scholar
ship, in fondness for athletic sports
and in leadership and cooperation for
the benefit of his school, which are
the considerations on which the award
is based, Fay was said to have made
such a showing that the committee
was able to choose the successful can
didate only after the most careful
consideration.
Jerome j. Day of Moscow estab-
lished this scholarship in 1918 for
students in high schools of Shoshone
county. The award in 1918 went to
Sigurd Sampson of Kellogg and in
1919 to Robert N Cummins of Wal
lace. In 1920 no award was made,
due to lack of suitable candidates.
To make application the candidate
must announce himself in his sopho-
more year in high school and must
take examinations at the close of his
sophomore, junior and senior years.

GENESEE GROWERS A
RECORD MAKING BUNCH
COMMERCIAL GRAIN SHOWS A
FINE YIELDS SAID TO
REACH A MILLION.

The harvest season is practically
over in the Genesee country and only
a few more fields of grain remain to
be threshed and no doubt the end of
this week will see every bit of grain
in the warehouses, says the Genesee
News.
Ole Flamoe pulled in his threshing
outfit Monday after a 231a day run.
MIR. Flamoe has been threshing in this
district for the past 20 years and he
says this is the shortest seasons run
he ha ever made and the first time
he has ever known threhing to be
completed before September. He re-
ports the grani threshed by him as of
No. 1 quality and the average yield.

outfits. One or two of the smaller
sepaatorrs will finish the few scatter
ed fields. There has been no rain to
interfere with the work and no damp
grain to thresh and the work went
forward with unusual rapidity.
Only few individual average
yields were obtained by the News,
but all reported good averages, run
ming from to bushels of fall wheat
and from 321a to AZ bushels of spring
grain. Practically all fall sown grain
is reported as No. 1.
Fred Nagel had 20 acres of fall
sown Red Russian, just south of town,
that made an average of 48 bushels
per acre.
John Broemmeling had 10-acre
field that averaged SO bushels per
acre. This was the second crop on
land that had previously been planted
to alfalfa

bushels per acre
There are undoubtedly many more
places that have yielded just as good
as those mentioned and there is no
doubt but that the Genesee section
will furnish her usual average quota

MICA FACTORY MAY
Be BUILT IN MOSCOW
CAPITALISTS FROM NEW YORK
AND SEATTLE VIEW LATAH
MICA MINES.

If plans now being worked out by
local people, cooperating with N. H.
LaFollette, a capitalist and noted
mining engineer of New York City
and Mrs. Bertha Eigle, of Seattle, are
successfully matured, Moscow may
hope to have mica plant within a
few months, furnishing employment
to a considerable number of local peo-
pie.
Mr.. LaFollette, who is brother of
former Congressman William La
Toilette Of Pullman, Washington, has
been in Moscow the past two days,
accompanied by Mrs. Eigle, and while
here visited the mica mines near
Avon, this county While Mr.. La
Toilette, who has operated number
of mica mines in the south and east,
was reticent about expressing his
opinion publicly, it is understood that
he is we'll pleased with the showing
at the mines and that he expects to
return to Moscow within few weeks.
While here prospective sites for
plant in this city were viewed, and in
case the mines are taken over there
is no doubt that this will be the home
of the manufacturing plant. Mr.. La
Toilette and Mrs. Eigle both express
pressd themselves as delighted with
Moscow and with the Palouse coun-
try
Dean Thomson of the school Of
mines Of the University of Idaho, In
a geological report made some time
ago, stated that the Latah county
mica mines are valuable. The claims
have been held by various parties and
more or less development work has
been done on them. Fine samples of
mica have been exhibited from these
claims.

TO MAKE FARMS OF
LATAH CUT.0vER LAND
CARLOAD OF $4,000 POUNDS
PICRIC ACID ORDERED
FOR PURPOSE.

An order for one carload Of $4,000
pounds of picric acid for farmers OF
LAtah county in clearing cut-over
land of stumps for agricultural pur-
poses was sent to Washington, d. c..
on Friday, September 2. Orders Of
individuals and communities were re-
ceived by County Agent o. S. F1etch-
er, and these orders and a draft for a
carload of picric acid were turned
over to Dean E. J. Iddings, of the
College of Agriculture at Moscow,
who forwarded the order to the auth
critics at Washington, D. C.
Orders of one hundred farmers
made up the total carload ordered, so
that the average per farmer was 240
pounds. Orders were received from
ten communities, representing all but
a very small part of the cut-over
sections of Latah County. Commun1-
ties from which orders for the explo-
sive were received are Rock Creek,
Crane Greek, Kennedy Ford, Deep
Creek, Princeton, Harvard, Avon
Deary, Troy and Moscow. Farmers
of the Cedar Creek community, east
of Kendrick, and Of the canyons tri-
butary to Juliaetta, wanted picric
acid but felt that they would have to
haul it too far, since the carload will
be shipped in on the w. l. & M. rail
road.
The picric acid costs the farmers
six cents per pound plus the freight
from Sparta, Wisconsin. The freight
will be between five and six cents
per pound. The Potlatch State Bank,
of Potlatch, and the Latah County
tate Bank, of Deary, have guaran-
teed the payment of the freight on
he entire car This service of the
banks makes it possible for the far
mers to pay the freight upon receipt
of the shipment.
The Latah County order is the sec
ond carload to be ordered for farmers
of the State of Idaho. A carload
was ordered for Bonner County on
August 14th and was shipped from
Sparta, Wisconsin, on August 9th.
1t is hoped that the carload of ex-
plosive for Latah County will reach
here early in October.

SNAKE RIVER CANYON
IS BOOSTED BY LANEY
TAKES SCENIC PHOTOGRAPHS
FOR PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN.
THROUGHOUT IDAHO.

Full of enthusiasm for the scenic
wonders of ''The Grand Canyon of the
Snake" DR.. F. B. Laney, professor
of geology, has returned from sum-
mer's work along this canyon and in
the Seven Devils mountains. He
brought win him large collection of
photographs, taken by A. M. Piper,
assistant geologist of the state bu-
reau of mines and geology, to be used
by the Idaho DEVELOPMENT association
in the scheme for Idaho publicity
which is being fostered by CONNER
cial clubs throughout the state.
There is nothing of its type com
parable, to it in the United States,'
said DR. Laney, speaking of this can
yon. From the tops of the surround
ing peaks, it is deeper than the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado. 1t is morc
rugged than the Colorado canyon.
The colors are more subdued, but they
are marvelous-colors of purple and
sage, with the greens of several kinds
of trees and purplish walls. The
whole is overspread with blush
haze, like the indescribable bloom on
grape"
of the Snake river that forms the
bOoiiooIy OCCWSCll OlCSoii loclilo
along the border of the northern half
of Adams county and of Idaho coun-
ty to the mouth of the Salmon river.
1t begins due west of Cuprum, which
is one of the points from which the
canyon may be reached by pack train.
One may also pack out from Home
stead, Ore, which may be reached by
railroad from Huntington or by auto
from Baker.
Most people do not know there is
such canyon here" said DR.. Laney.
Zone of our packers was a rancher and
buckaroo who has lived in this sec
tion for years He was so enthusias-
tic that he rode back over the trail,
more than so miles, to get his wife
to show her the scenery. He said it
surpassed anything he had seen either
in the Yellowstone or in Glacier Ma
tional park.
"The toughest part Of the canyon
is just west of the Seven Devils
range. The top of the He Devil is
perhaps five miles in straight line
from the river and it's altitude is
$500 feet. The elevation of the water
surface is perhaps 1400 feet, so that
you have rise of more than 5000
feet in five miles. Rises of from
4, 900 to 5000 feet in four or five miles
are quite the order of things.
While the canyon, is rough, rail
road construction from Lewiston to
offers no unusual OBJ
stacles'
