the special potato report from Idaho
which saws n part; idaho has IN
sight the largest potato crop In her
History. Farmers have planted $4,000
acres. which is 1900 acres greater
than any previous year and 80 per
cent greater than the acreage harvest
ed last year. BASED on July condi-
tions, the carlot movement Of Idaho
potatoes this season will total $500.
This compares with 100 cars moved
from the entire state last year. Tie
above estimate depends on the ability
of the railroads to furnish cars, the
continuance Of present favorable
growing condit ons and the progress
OF the potato crop in the large pro-
ducing states in the east
The condition of other Oregon crops
on August was reported as follows:
Corn. 80 per cent; alfalfa. 95 per
cent pasture. 95 per cent: field peas

Crop prospects in general declined

Ter. Eastern and Middle States had
some rain during the latter part of
July, hut not their normal Drecipita-

fall during the entire month Of July,
and spring planted crops showed
decided falling off in condition. Spring
conditions were such that a consider
label acreage of grain was sown later
than is generally considered good
practice. This late sown grain, to-
igether with late planted potatoes has
shown the greatest falling off in pros

oats and rye, are fully up to the av-

UNIFORM PRODUCTS FAVORED
Find Better Market, Bring Higher
Prices and Are Handled at Less
Expense Than Others.

Without uniform standards for farm
produce there is 10 recognized basis
for the business of buying and selling,
says the bureau of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Standardization of products gives
seller and purchaser a common Ian
guage and a set quality upon which
prices may be compared and fixed. Elk
perience has shown that the products
which r sold by grade find a better
market, bring letter prices, and can be
handled at less expense than thosAsold
without reference to standards. Stand
ards have already been fixed for many
farm commodities, such as American
Upland cotton, shelled corn, wheat,
oats, and for small fruit containers.
These Federal standards apply only
when the product is intended for in
terstate or foreign coRmerce. IT is.
highly important to secure state E o
operation SO that the provisions that
apply to a few products will apply to.
all that are offered for sale.

MAMMA IN THE HOLY LAND
Still Continues to Fall, as 1t Did
When 1t Nourished the Chill
dren of Israel.

The biblical story of the feeding of
the children of Israel upon mamma
from heaven during their wandering
in the wilderness on the way to the
land of Canaan does not record a mir
acle, according to the American con-
sui at Jerusalem. In an official report
to the government the consul states
that mama is found now in the re-
gions Of Upper Mesopotamia and
kurdistan, and along the Persian
frontier. 1t falls, he says, in the form
of dew during September, October and
November, and lodges upon the leaves
Of oak trees. It Immediately hardens
and assumes the form Of a grain.
Early in the morning, before the
heat Of the day, it is gathered by
spreading sheets beneath the trees,
which are shaken, and the mamma is
then collected and stored for winter,
to be used as a food, or shipped to
Bagdad for sale In the bazaar.
The mama falls on other vegeta-
bles, including grass, but all Of it is
lost except that which is gathered
from the oak leaves. The mama is
sweet, and is eaten by the natives as
q substitute for sugar or honey. The
consul says. it is highly priced for its
aromatic flavor.

BRITAIN FREE FROM WOLVES
Country More Fortudiste In That
Respect Than Are Other Lands
In Europe.

We in the British Isles appear to
have got rid of the wolf plague. In
England, in the early Fifteenth century,
the beast ceased to be a danger that
had to be reckoned with. It remained
longer in Scotland, where the very
last wolf ever heard of in the roaming
state is said to have been slain by
Sir Even Cameron of Lochiel during
the reign of Charles Ian incident
that appears to have been looked upon
as distinctly worthy Of notice.
The complete and final elimination
of the bane is no doubt owing to the
fact that, as lupus was steadily being
hunted down in the land, our insular
position precluded all possibility Of
fresh immigration. In France the
case was different. There was nothing
to prevent the migrating wolf from
reaching the country from the wilder
nesses of Central +Europe-even from
Russia and still more distant Siberia.
the classic home of the race.
Many are the legends, to some
extent based on fact, of vast armies of
wolves traveling-even as the invad-
ing Goths and Vandals-from their
hungry deserts to the richer lands of
the West, to be stopped only by the
Atlantic. AT any rate. to this day the
black wolf crosses the Pyrenees, and
the brown wolf the Alps, to reinforce
fraternally the ranks of the much
harried gray wolf of France. And the
day seems still far distant when the
curse will be finally extinguished.-

WHITE ANTS lNJURE TIMBERs
Insects Enter Wood Wherever IL Comes
in Contact With Damp Earth
and Eat into Beams.

~ Ef
Winged white ants are often OBJ
served flying about houses in spring,
and are sometimes supposed to have
come in from outside. The bureau of
entomology of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture explains that
these winged insects really are Matched
inside the buildings, and usually are
to be taken as indicating nests of
Wingless white ants working destruc-
ton in the timbers. /
These insects, which really are not
properly ants, enter the wood wher-
ever it comes in contact with damp
earth, and often eat into the center of
an upright beam without m%anifesting
their presence or the outside until the
wood is entirely ruined, and possibly
a settling and cracking Of the build
ing has resulted.
The department urges that build
ings be constructed with such founda-
tons that no wood touches the ground,
or if it is necessary to use wood, that
it be impregnated with tar creosote.
Concrete floors should be laid on a
gravel base to- prevent dampness and
cracking, and where cracks occur they
should be promptly filled.
