STATE REPORTS FOR
| WHEAT ARE RECEIVED
WHEAT KANRED A
{ FAVORABLE SPORT LISTED
IN NEW PRODUCTS

Boise, Idaho-Reports of Idaho
wheat growers compare with reports
received from Kansas and Nebraska
growers regarding Kanred wheat.
Kanred is a hard red winter wheat.
Over three hundred letters of inquiry
were sent to farmers and county
agents in Kansas and Nebraska The
comments were all favorable. State
ments are as follows: "Kanred pro-
duces from two to thirteen bushels
more per acre than Turkey Red. 1t
is more resistant to rust and smut,
does not lodge as rapidly and ripens
earlier than does Turkey Red.
This wheat was developed by the
Kansas Experiment Station and is
now being grown extensively in some
sections of Idaho. Farmers in diff
ferent sections purchased small lots
last fall. The Idaho Pure Seed cold
pany made a large shipment last
season. This large shipment was dis
seminated thruout northern Idaho
The crops have been harvested and
the yields prove satisfactory.
J. H. Reardon, county agricultural
agent of Kootenai county, reports
that 'Kanred outyielded all other va
rieties of wheat in this section ten
bushels to the acre" Certified Kan
red seed wheat is now available. 1t
can be secured thru the farm bureaus
of Kootenai, Lewis, Nez Perce and
Latah counties.
J. w. Webster, one of the largest
Try land farmers on the Egen Bench,
Rexburg, Idaho, grew several acres
Of Kanred this year. He states,
('Kanred in my opinion fills better
han Turkey Red under more adverse
l have none for sale be-
;ause I am going to use it all for my
,wn seeding"
These reports come from northern
md eastern Idaho and | presume
similar comments could be obtained
rom more growers and wheat fields
have seen bear out these state
nents," says c. B. Allison, acting
ieId agronomist and state seed COM
missioner.
What the grower is. after is larger
'eturns per acre with che same
amount of labor. Apparently the
grower cannot make mistake by
certified Kanred wheat
or fall seeding. At least, purchas-
ng enough for a seed plot would be
dvisable.

SEEK REDUCTION ON
GRAIN FREIGHT RATES

The Spokane headquarters of the
Farmers Union for Washington and
Idaho has received word from Gov
ernor D. w. Davis of Idaho that rep
resentatives of the state utilities
commission are now i'm Washington in
the endeavor to have freight rates re-
duced on grain and grain products.
Mr.. Davis wrote in answer to letter
sent to him and to Governor Hart of
Washington, detailing the stifling re-
suit of exorbitant freight rates and
asking for state surveys of the ex-
isting tariffs with view to securing
evidence on which to ask for reduc-
tions.
A. D. Cross, secretary of the Far
mers' Union, in letter to the gov
ernors pointed out that the purchaser
of flour even in the coast cities pays
good one-third Of his price for
transportation at the present time. He
stated that for the 100000 bushels
Of wheat purchased by Europe last
year, the foreign buyers paid an av-
erage of 33c more a bushel than they
did the preceding season.
The wheat growers in the United
bushel less. ''Thus," said Mr.. Cross,
there was an additional tax of more
than $300,000,000 or $1.00 a bushel
taken for this wheat between the pro-
ducer and the consumer. The ad-,
vance in freight rates last September
had lot to do with this increase and
its result is hurting farmer and con-
sumer alike"

LEGATION which advocates treason, in
surrection or forcible resistance to
any law Of the United States" AL
though Postmaster General Hays has
been liberal in his rulings, the law
creates a censorship Of political opin-

h,1t s were foreign-language publica-
tons. of which three were puDl1shed

in English, three were C0mnunisl,
two socialist, one !. w ". ana one

hand the Postohice department. read
mitted to second-class privileges up
to August &c, eleven periodicals whose
privilege had been taken away under
Burleson. All but one of the period
icals still published, whose privileges
were taken away by Burleson Tor
their political views, have now re-
gained second-class status. That one
IS Solidarity, the official |. w. w.
weekly.
The elaborate machinery of censor
ship built up under Burleson has been
dismantled. The forces of translators
IN New York have been reduced, and
ali but enc of the special assistants to
the Solicitor at Washington have been
let out. Under Solicitor Lamar a
roomful Of clerks were occupied as
censors. Under Solicitor Edwards,
since June /, the work is done by him
and an assistant, who, with Postmas-
ter General Hays, gives personal at
tention to all complaints of unfair
ness in barring publications. There is
now no secrecy about the decisions OF
the Department, the names OF the
| publications nor the reasons for the
action taken, as was the case under
Burleson. The Postmaster General
has publicly encouraged personal in
terviews with editors of radical pa
pers who think they have been un-
| fairly treated
