proceedings were had, to-wit:
A delegation of taxpayers from
Bern appeared before the Board puT-
suant to Sec. 925 OF the Compiled
statutes and asked parntis9ion to
bond School District No. 13 for the
amount of $17,0OO.O0 for the con-
struction of a new school house for
said district. It appearing to the
Board that a bond election had been
regularly held, and the law having
been fully compiled with, It is there
fore ordered that said school district

board and reported section ,one
about 10 miles of said project as be-
ing fully completed, whereupon it
was agreed to construct second sec
ton number two this year, a dis
lance OF about 1-2 miles to the
Caribou county line, or top Of sum-
NIT.
Reports OF the various committees
appointed to investigate the paving
of the Idaho Pacific highway of
Bear Lake county were made and
filed with the clerk. It appears
from said reports that State nd Fed
era1 Aid is unobtainable, at the pres
ent time to pave said highway from
Fish Haven to Georgetown. The
matter OF surfacing said highway
with gravel was discussed at length
and Mr.. p. b. Nelson, district engi-
neer Of the state reported that these
roads were giving good satisfaction
and recommended a gravel surface
instead of pavement. It was esti-
mated that a gravel surface would
cost about 100000 per mile.
while the pavement would cost about
$50, 100000 p@r mile. The matter
was taken into consideration await

80 bushels of potatoes had been ship
ped all the way from Luce county to
be contributed to the Emergency
Grain Board in the cause of Near East
Relief
Realizing the humane work that
was to be done with the proceeds, the
buyers turned back their purchases to
be sold all over again. The result of
the sale and resale amounted to
$265.00 cash. This amount and the
sale price Of the rye also shipped, re-
suited in Luce county contributing
three times what It had been called
upon for.
Contributions include wheat, corn,
beans, rye, potatoes, fruit, chickens,
eggs, etc.-everything raised from
farms. In one instance farmer, ever
mindful of the great need Of his dona-
ton, gave cow. II will be sold at
auction and the proceeds applied to
the purchase Of -four.
The results of these efforts In Mich.
igan and other states already are be-
Ing noted. A recent cablegram from
Tifis reports that the steamer
"Datchet" has arrived with a cargo Of
400 tons Of corn products. So great
was the Joy at its arrival that even
the Soviet Labor Union furnished
iaborers to help unload the welcome
cargo.

PREPARE CUTTINGS IN FALL
Those Desiring to Set Out Vineyards
Should Make Necessary Prepare
tons In Autumn.

Those wishing to set out vineyards
will profit by making grape cuttings
and getting them ready for spring
planting this fall. A number Of cut
tings may be made from one vine, and
after one year Of cultivation i'm a small
nursery lot the young vines are ready
for planting.
Cuttings should be taken from new
wood, each cutting having two to three
buds upon it. The cuttings are from
eight to twelve inches long, the bottom
being trimmed close to the first bud,
while the top Of the cutting has two
or three inches Of wood above the top
bud. These are tied In bundles and
placed in damp sand in the cellar or
buried out-of- doors and covered TO pre-
vent injury from freezing.
In the spring the cuttings are set In
rows three feet apart and four inches
apart in the row. Only the upper bud
Of the cutting is allowed to extend
above the ground so that the other
buds will develop roots.

FIGURE OUT DAIRY RATI0NS
of Value and Cost of Various
Feeds Available.

A series Of 26 dairy feeding schools
were conducted during the spring
months In six New Hampshire coun-
ties by county agents, working coop
eratively with the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural college. Seven more are
planned. In carrying out these schools
featuring and formal talk have been
practically eliminated and the dairy
men are seated at tables, where they
figure out for themselves the compo-
sitiOn of various rations and compute
costs. Much enthusiasm has been
aroused.
That the results are worth while Is
indicated by the statement of q Hook
sett farmer, who reported q saving of
81 day, while another who attended
the' school at Warner wrote the coun-
ty agent that he is now saving $3.50 a
month as result Of feeding q ra-
ton that he figured out there. The
discussion provoked by the farmers
figuring these ratiOns gives a better
understanding of the value and cost
Of the various feeds available than
any amount Of lecturlng could posi-
bly, accomplish.

silage kept up the usual flow of milk
as well as those which were fed on the
grain silage. Some Of the big Holstein
cows ate as much as 80 pounds per
day. No unfavorable results could be
noticed in the flavor of the milk. While
this experiment has not gone far
enough to reach definite conclusions, 1t
indicates that sunfiOwers may be con-
sidered a good crop for silage In some

BETTER PACKING FACILITIES
Economical Handling Of Boxed Fruits
Demand Construction of Well
Equipped Houses.

(Prepared by the United States Department

1.-The construction of well-planned
and well-equipped packing houses is
essential to the economical handling
of boxed apples in the northwest.
The recent building program has not
kept pace with the demand Of the
industry and severe losses have been
sustained on account Of limited facil-
tiles for packing and for storing I'M
packed fruit temporarily. The situa-
ton has been aggravated by the enor
nous increase in production during
the past few years, as well as by the
serious shortage of transportation

Tablets Worth Trying.

Many calves die Of white scours or
pneumo-enteritis, which is deadly
germ disease born in the calf and con-
tracted by way Of the navel or mouth
soon after birth. Medicinal treatment
usually fails, but triple sulpho-car-
bolate tablets are well worth trying,
under direction of qualified vet
erinarian. He should also immunize
each newborn calf with 'polyvalent
anti-dysenteric serum and likewise
use It in double doses should a case
occur. Provide new clean pen for
newborn calves. At birth saturate
the stump of the navel of each calf
with tincture of iodine and then apply
powdered starch. Repeat the treat
ment daily until the navel is entirely
healed. Also cleanse the teats with
a saturated solution of boric acid be-

Detroit.-Splendid response is being
made from all parts of Michigan by
farmers to the grain appeal Of the
states Emergency Grain Board, made
TO avert starvation in Armenia and
neighboring countries In the Near
East. Reports to Near East Relief
headquarters in this city are most
gratifying, officials declare. Several
counties already have reached their
quotas, while others report steady

their work is resulting in the certainty
OF going beyond the marks set.

of rye and potatoes. Washtenaw fol-
lowed its first car Of -four in a few
days with a second one. These grain
carloads are carried to the seaboard,
for shipment overseas, by the Grand

The Story of London School Boy Who Stumbled
Upon the Secret of Making Dyes

POETS OF SCIENCE

William Henry Perkin was an ODD
sort of youngster. When he was Is
years old and a student in the City OF
London School he heard of series oil
lectures on chemistry during the noon
recess. Young William Henry de.
cided that the lectures would be OF
more value to him than his lunches, SO
he took in the lectures.
Apparently the lectures made a de-
cided impression upon the boy. Two
years later he entered the laboratory
of a chemist named Holman in the
Royal College Of London and by the
time he was II, had started upon his
career as a researcher. Perkin decided
that his mission in life was to isolate
phenenthrene from coal tar and pre-
pare artificial quinine. In order to
speed the day when his task would be
done he set up private laboratory. and
worked overtime. While at work IN
this laboratory in the spring OF 1880,
he found in his test tube, while oxi-
dizing some anline oil, black, sticky
mass instead of clear crystals. He at
tempted to wash it out with alcohol
when, to his surprise, he produced a
wonderful purple solution-mauve, the
first of the aniline dyes.
Ten years later Perkin achieved his
greatest triumph when he produced
alizarin, or Turkey red, formerly
made only from the root OF the mad
der. Years later the British govern
ment knighted the man who first dis
covered the vast possibilities contained
with coal tar but gave him little imam

was left to German researchers to
build up the industry and finally to
obtain strangle hold upon the trade

RULES FOR FEEDING SlLAGE
Good Plan Is to Allow Three Pounds
Of Material to Every 100 Pounds
Of Live Weight.

A rule for feeding silage to the
dairy cows Is: Feed three pounds Of
silage for every 100 pounds of live
weight. A cow weighing 1000 pounds
should receive about 30 pounds. A
cow which weights over 1900 pounds
should receive about As pounds of
silage per day. Silage is usually fed
twice day, in the morning and eve
ming after milking

CLEANLINESS is IMPORTANT
SteriIizing, Not Simply Washed
to Remove Impurities.

Cleanliness is goodness, especially
In the dairy business. All the sani-
tary precautions taken for housing
the dairy herd will be of no avail, If
the utensils used in handling the milk
are not kept clean. TO be sure such
utensils are clean, they must be ster-

Poetry, indeed! But chemists are

materials a nation must have if it
hopes to live and compete with other
nations. Few nations realized this
truth, however until the World War
offered convincing proof by opening
100 percent explosive and closing S.

eyes, but unfortunately, Germany had
fifty year start and took the trouble
to protect the advantage.

idea of controlling the chemical busi-
