Brighter future
FOR wheat MARKET
EXPERTS BELIEVE u. S. GROW
ERS WILL BENEFIT BY CONDI-
TIONS IN RUSSIA.

The following article by E. F
Gaines, of the department of farm
crops of Washington State College is
of special interest to Palouse coun-
try wheat farmers just now.
DR.. G. F. Warren, head of the de-
partment agricultural economics and
farm management at Cornell Univer-
sity, has recently written seventy
two page bulletin on prices of Farm
Products in the United States" in
which he makes the statement: "Un-
til Russia again becomes an exporting
nation the outlook for the export of
wheat and rye is apparently more
favorable than for most other farm
products. He also shows that wheat
at the present time is much below the
average index wholesale price of all
commodities
These two statements should give
the wheat producer of the northwest
a ray of hope for the future, and en-
courage him to raise wheat if he is
going to stay in the farming game
With a favorable foreign market, a
surplus is not likely to accumulate in
this country, and for that reason
wheat should maintain a somewhat
higher price level than other farm
products.
DR.. Warren shows that the price to
the producer of practically all farm
products is now cOrrespOndingly SO
per cent lower than the average
price of the things he has
to buy. 1t is therefore inevitable that
either the things the farmer has to
sell will bring a better price, or the
things he has to buy will cost less in
the near future.
Another reason for optimism on the
part of the wheat growers of the
northwest, in particular, is the SELL
ing power of the wheat growers as
sociation. This association controls
enough wheat to be able to fill the
huge orders from the orient, and can
often get a higher price than local
quotations. The cost of handling in
arge quantities is somewhat less and

BASKET BALL MEN
OUT AFTER TITLE
VARSITY AND FRESHMEN TEAMS
CLASH ON UNIVERSITY GYM
NASIUM FLOOR.

Varsity basketball men won easily
from the speedy frosh aggregation in
thefirst practice game of the season
Two varsity and two frosh teams
clashed and both Vandal squads were
able to drub the yearling men. The
quintet led by Captain Bullet Fox
played the most consistent game, al
though the other varsity string will
offer Coach Macmillan some excellent
material for use as substitutes.
Indications point toward an un-
usually strong varsity squad this
year-also toward season harder
than usual Other members of the
conference are issuing strong and
favorable predictions. 1t is general
ly conceded that Idaho will have a
team nearly as strong as the one en-
tered last year. The men showed
excellent opening-season form against
the frosh and several practice games
are being planned for the coming few
weeks before the first game.
The varsity men playing were Cap
tain Bullet Fox, Alex. Fox, Or Thomp
son. Dill Gartin, Ade Nelson, Harry
Edwards, Percy Steiner, Harold Tel
ford, Arnold Cooley, Fred Marineau,
Gene Ostrander and Cobb Cozier
Competition will be strong for the
varsity and with the exception of
three no players are definitely known.
Or Thompson of Twin Falls, center,
is starting out the season playing ex-
cellent ball. Last year Thompson
was not SO good but he now seems
headed straight for the central posi-
ton.
The conference schedule has not yet
been compiled. 1t is understood
Idaho plans to schedule few games
with other coast colleges outside of
the regular conference teams.

STRIKE, COURT DECISION

Washington-CBy A. P.)-Organ-
lied labor has no right to picket dur
ing strike when it involves impor-
unity, the supreme court ruled today
on an appeal by the American Steel
Foundries company, growing out of
the strike at it's Granite City, Illinois
plant. The court declared that no
broad rule could be laid down con-
cerning picketing, but that each case
must be considered on its merits, to
determine whether picketing consti-
tuted restraint and intimidation.

Archie BOIon Injured.

Last Sunday while Archie Bolon
was hunting near Kendrick, the
shotgun which he was carrying was
accidentally discharged, inflicting a
very bad wound in his wrist The
shot tore through the flesh of his
wrist close to his hand, severing the
ligaments in such manner that he
had no control of his hand. He was
given first aid by DR.. Kelley and
then taken to Lewiston on the night
train for hospital care. The doctors
at Lewiston believe they can save his
hand but are not sure whether the
ligaments will unite in the proper
manner to allow the full use of the
fingers Of the injured hand.-Ken-

Declares That Lower Tariffs

Chicago, April 5.-W. G. Besler

Mr.. Walsh attempted to have the
carrier head say that his figures were
supplied in speeches by General At
terbury and that he had no knowl-
edge as a railroad operator as to their
accuracy. In one answer Mr.. Besler
said:

Rule?"
At another point he referred to a
rule he had devised which he said he
believed applicable to every road in
