COUNTY'S BIG SHOW
MONEY IN HAND. FINAL PREPARATIONS NOW
ON FOR FAIR, STOCK SHOW
AND SALE OCT. 7-S.

The bills advertising the Lew
lis County Fair, Stock Show and
Sale, to be held at Nezperce Oc-
tober 7 and s, state that prizes ag-
gregating $1,000 will be given.
This is a fact, and the entire pro-
gram of this big county roundup
will be in this same ratio.
The balance of the money 70
foot these bills was raised at a
luncheon and business meeting f
Nezperce business men and farm
ers at the Nezperce Hotel last
Monday evening, The slogan
was, it takes money to make the
mare go, and when an addition
al 5000 was called for to bring
the total up to the budget which
had been prepared, the soliciting
committee Mark Harding, Cur
tbs Miller and Leo Robertson
found little difficulty in taking
$3.50 from the crowd present,
with adequate insurance that the
other $3.50 would be forthcoming
from those who were SO unfortu-
nate as to be absent from Monday
nights gathering. So, with the
financial end of the Fair assur-
ed, the balance of the biggest
show the prairie ever Witnessed
is forgone conclusion, especial
ly with G.. j. Miller in the saddle
as president of the organization,
which has for its secretary-treas-
uper G. w. Buckley of this city
and on its various committees
many Of the livest wires of the
county.
About 40 bosters were out at
the Monday evening gathering,
which was presided over by G. w.
Felt, and following a very nice

dinner served in good old family
style by Landlord Chaplin and his
assistants, the general business OF
making the Fair a success was dis
cussed snappily, the coliloquy
soon simmering down to the one
main issue of funds. Since this
meeting runners have been out en-
couraging prospective exhibitors,
with fine success, to bring III lib
eral displays from their herds.
and a goodly force has been at
work constructing barns and
whipping the show grounds into
shape. At the present time, a
week before the opening day, lo-
cally speaking, everything is
nearer ready than on any prey
ious like occasion.
In the livestock ring will APP
pear some of the best specimens
Lewis county ever brought out,
while from outside points will
come prize winners from the
herds Of such we'll known breed
ers as:
j. Is. Mcdonald and Mr.. Nelson,
the short-horn men Of Fem; Me-
Kinley and Funke, the Poland

and Wilbur Brant, Of Gangeville,
will bring over his the noted Pol
and China male for which he
paid $500.

one may expect to find at this
show.

also one of the best ever offered

asked for-just food and few
family necessities. A Helper.

About Coppei Club Wheat.


There have been number ol
inquiries by farmers in this vicin-
ity regarding the Coppei Cluf
Wheat. Since this variety is new
to me, was unable to recommend
it. Therefore, l have taken the
matter up with our Experiment
Station, Moscow, Idaho, and re-
ceiycd the following reply from
r. K. Bennett, Prof. of Agron-
omy:
"Coppei Wheat originated in
the vicinity of Waitsburg, Wash.
a number of yeass ago, and has
spread over considerable terri
tory. 1t is a Club Type having a
velvet shaft and a red colored
grain. 1t is about the same in
quality as the Washington Hy-
bred 1913. / believe it is some
what more drought resistant than
the other club varieties and it ap-
pears to produce better yields
when late planted than the other
clubs.
There is considerable acreage
in this county and the yields re-
ported this season are quite fav-
orable. 1t is not as subject to
smut as the Washington Hybred
1913, but about the same as Jen-
kins Club or Little Club.
While / would hesitate to rec
ommend it above other varieties
it might be advisable to try it on
limited scale in your county.
However, if you should desire
this seed in quantity | believe it
possible to secure a carload here. I"
Yours truly.
r. X. Bennett, Prof. Of Agronomy
The recommendations given by
Prof. Bennett are not very
strong when one takes into con-
sideration that the conditions
here are not favorable to the
growing Of Club wheats. This
variety requires deep soil and
plenty of moistaure throughout
the entire growing season.
We have sections on this prai-
RE where it does fairly well, such
as along the breaks of the Clear
water river and the Russell coull-
tary, Central Ridge and in the
vicinity Of Craigmont. Yet in
quite dry seasons even these sec-
tions fail to produce profitable
yields and quality.
Dry weather during the period
Of maturing will shrivel the ber
ries, causing it to lose weight and
quality. 1t is just the reverse
with the harder varieties, such as
Marquis and Turkey Red. They
require dry weather or impover-
ished soil during their period of
1ipening, otherwise the berries
become bloated and yellow.
known as yellow backs. Over
twenty-five per cent of yellow
backs in Marquis wheat cuts the
price considerably as it reduces
its milling quality. The more
dark, hard vitreous berries lot
of Marquis contains, the strong
er its gluten test. And this isl
what the millers want.
It should be borne in mind
that success of the growing of
the different varieties of wheats
is more or less dependant uponI
moisture conditions. Should you
expecta dry weather during theI
period of ripening the harder var
ieties would be best to seed. 1f1
you expect much moisture the
softer varieties would be best.
However, as far as the growing
of white wheats in summer fall
low is concerned, / know of nome
that excels the Forty-fold wheat,
unless it be the Turkey -bluestem.
This, however, has not been suf-
ficiently tried in this section to
it. j. B. Lauby,
