AMERICAN PROPOSAL FOR
LIMITATION OF SUBS

Washington-(A. P.)-The American
program for the limitation of subma-
rine tonnage was presented today to
the naval armament committee. 1t
proposes a submarine tonnage of sixty
thousand each for Great Britain and
the United States, and the existing
tonnage for Japan, France and Italy
The American proposal would cut
the existing submarine tnonage Of the
United States and Great Britain about
One-third each and leave the other
three powers in their present posi-
ton, France having approximately
forty-two thousand tons; Japan
thirty-two thousand; Italy about
TWENTY-FIVE thousand
The italian Arms conference dele
cation spokesman express the belief
that Italy cannot possibly accept the
American proposal for the limitation
of submarine tonnage, as outlined in
today's session of the naval COM
mittee.

JUNIOR CLUB WORK
TO BE STATE Wide
WILL DIVIDE STATE INTO DIS
TRICTS WITH LEADER
OVER EACH.

Districting of the state and placing
an expert in each district, without in
terfering with those counties that
prefer to retain special county work.
ers, has been adopted as policy of
the University of Idaho to strengthen
it's extension work in boys and girls
club work and in home economics.
This plan will involve the placing
of experts in these subjects in GER
tain districts of the state to work from
central location and cover several
counties and will be put into opera
ton without increased cost to the
counties or the state. Heretofore, the
major work in club work and in econ
omics has been done in those coun-
ties that have been willing to furnish
county funds to emphasize these
lines of work within county boundary
lines
The new plan will extend both club
and home economics work to certain
parts of the state that have not here
tofore had the advantage of extension
activities along this line. The pur-
pose of this plan, therefore, is to make
work for men and women and for
junior members of the family state
wide, and to bring it to a larger num-
Der of the people of the state than
has been possible in the past.
In a few counties the commission
ers have felt it necessary from the
point of view of retrenchment to re-
tain only one or two lines of extern
sion work and few of the county
club agents have been discontinued
The University of Idaho, however,
wants no background step in club
work and is meeting the present sit
uation by adopting this district plan.
The boys and girls club program for
Idaho in 1922 will be carried in the
manner:
In certain counties there will be,
as has been the case formerly, county
club leaders. Other parts of the state
will be covered by districts, where a
trained and experienced club worker
will be assigned to several counties
as the field of activity. In addition
The county agricultural agents of Ida
ho are desirous of including club
work as part of their program so that
wheer county and district workers are
not available the county agricultural
agent assists in club activities.

MUST KEEP FAITH
in IDAHO FARMING
BASIC CONDITIONS ASSURE RE-
TURN TO MAL-SUCCESS
WILL COME AGAIN

"Much blame for the present con-
ditiOn that confronts Idaho cannot be
placed at the door of agriculture, but
the causes are more worldwide in
extent and difficult to CONTROL was
the sentiment of the four-day confer
ence of University of Idaho extension
service officials and specialists and
members of the teaching and investi-
gational staff of the college of agri-
culture.
An agricultural creed or code of
procedure for the agricultural work
of the University of Idaho college of
agriculture was announced by the in
stitution to the extension workers,
teaching and station staffs, at the
close of the conference This code or
creed consisting of eight articles deals
with principles that are regarded as
fundamental to a permanent and
prosperous agriculture in Idaho.
"It is particularly important at this
time," said Dean E. J. Iddings of the
college of agriculture, that faith be-
not lost in the permanency of Idaho
agriculture In former years the
farmers of the state have been sue
cessful to a marked degree. The fun
damental advantage of Idaho for ag-
ricultural production such as soil,
water supply are the same.
1t is felt, therefore, that success and
will come again, following
the depression which now prevails.
"In fastening the return to normal
and to success and profit
in Idaho farming the college of agri-
culture feels that there is no cure-all
and no panacea. Here and there in
various parts Of the state, even in the
period of depression, certain farmers
have been successful, to a marked
degree, due to the fact that they have
had in operation for several years
a permanent and wisely conceived
plan of operating their farms. Fur
5hermore. they have not made hasty
changes from one crop or system of
farming to another but have followed
1 permanent and stable plan
"For the most part those districts
are in best condition today that have
diversified farming, and have
to market the products of
he farm in the most highly concen-
rated form and have paid attention
20 securing such quality of products
is would meet with the highest favor
# those who might use the Same.'

"U" field AGENTS
BEGIN new SYSTEM
PLAN FREQUENT CONFERENCES
TO INSURE COOPERATION
AMONG WORKERS..

Greater cooperation between field
specialists of the University of Idaho
extension division and faculty mem
bers and experimental experts of the
university college of agriculture and
the several u. S. Department of Agri-
culture stations throughout the state
is assured in new system created at
the four-day conference of extension
service workers and university auth
critics, held at Moscow. That each
field specialist with the university ex-
tension service will be required to
arrange his itinerary so that at least
two days, four times a year, may be
spent in conference with authorities
at the university, is the salient fea-
ture of the new plan.
Since the headquarters of the uni
versity extension division is located
in Boise, considerable distance from
the University of Idaho, additional
effort must be made to secure the
closest possible relationship between
the field specialists and the univer-
sity people," said L. w. Fluharty of
Boise, director of the extension SER
vice.
This new plan is an important step
toward the solution of the problem,
DIS IHeSe NdIlOuS COulCT0uc6S between
the field specialists and the members
of tn agricultural college faculty
will enable both branches of the ex-
tension service to establish closer
and more profitable relationship"
The second phase of the program
provides that specialists shall in turn
arrange their itineraries so that con-
ferences may be held while they are
in regions in which the fild SPECIALISTS
may be working Working on the
plan from both end of the
service the university workers and
those in the field will be in practical
ly constant contact with the entire
work
Outside of the four regular univer-
sity experiment farms in different
parts of the state there are the gov
arnment stations. A station devoting
its time to the improvement of range
sheep is located at Dubois, another
on varieties of potatoes
for irrigated lands is located
1T Jerome. The system which will be
as an outcome of the
Moscow conference will enable the
extension service to derive unusual
benefits by closer cooperation with
.hese government stations.

Outplaying their opponents at every
stage of the game, the University OF
Idaho basketball team last night de-
feated Spokane university 81 to A..
Idaho got away at the start and
piled up points continually until the
end of the game. The Spokane team
never threatened to halt the Idaho
quintet and strove only to keep the
scoring down as much as possible

was even more effective last night,
caging 10 baskets from the floor and
adding five more points in 10 at
tempts to convert fouls. Spokane
university, evidently fearing damage
from the younger Fox, sicked three
guards on him at one time but even
this failed to handicap the speedy
Idaho forward
The sensational, bewildering at
tack of the Vandals soon ruined the
morale of their opponents and Idaho
began tossing baskets at will

was only necessary to visit the office
OF Fred Veatch today, which, as has
been the custom for a number of
years, was turned over to the AS
sociated Charities, with William E
Lee, president, and Mr.. Veatch, sec
retary, in charge.
Upon entering the door one found
himself walking among boxes filled

IDAHO GRID TEAM
TO BATTLE U. S. c.
KELLEY CALLS CHALLENGE FROM
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
TURN DOWN u. OF c.

Los Angeles-(A. P.)-The Univers-
ity of Idaho, and not the University
of Nebraska, will meet the University
of Southern California on the grid
iron here November 1S, 1922, it was
announced today by Henry Bruce,
graduate manager of athletics. 1t was
decided the duty of the Trojans to
give preference to Pacific coast con-
ference teams and hence the tentative
date with Nebraska was cancelled.
Idaho will accept the game with the
University of Southern California for
November IS, at Los Angeles and has
added that date to her schedule, said
Coach Thomas Kelley today when he
received news of U. S. C.s decision.
The game now scheduled with Mon
tana for November IS, will be can
celled and an attempt made to play
the Bruins at some other time during
the year The week previous to this
date, Idaho plays Utah at Boise and
will probably go direct from there to
Los Angeles.
Idaho is also in recent of a chal-
lenge from the University Of Califor-
MIA, conference champions of 1921,
for a game at Berkeley on October
20, but the offer was refused as Idaho
is already scheduled for a game with
Washington State College at Moscow
on that date and Kelley did not want
to make his schedule any heavier than
it now is nor lose the Pullman game.
The change for the y. s. G. game
is probably the last one to be made
on the Idaho lineup for next season
unless, by chance, some other game
is substituted for the one with Con
zaga on November 25.

stretch begins at Spalding and with
the exception of about three and
one-half mile gap, is continuous to
within a few miles of Cottonwood.
Another project to be undertaken
by the highway department in CO.
operation with the federal govern
ment is the construction of the Greer
Orofino highway, a road approx
mately nine miles in length. The con-
struction of this section will shorten
the distance between the two towns
by about 13 miles. The total cost of
will be approximately
one hundred thousand dollars. 1t will
follow the Clearwater river, whereas
the present road winds aomng the
hills. At one place on the present
highway from Orofino to Greer the
