CALIFORNIA BOY
ATHLETIC WONDER
VALLEJO HIGH SCHOOL STU
DENT WILL ENTER UNIVER-
SITY OF CALIFORNIA.

VELLEJO, CALIF.-(By A. P)-
Elmer Boyden, 19-year old Vallejo
high school athlete who, single-hand-
ed, nearly won first honors for his
school in the Chicago Interscholastic
Track and Field meet recently, plans
to enter the University of California
next fall.
Competing against 600 preparatory
school athletes from the east and
middle west, Boyden, the only Pacific
Coast representative won first places
in the broad jump and the 440 and
$50 yard runs. He won every event
in which he was entered.
Earlier in the spring, at the Cali
fornia Interscholastic Federation
meet, Boyden set new association
record by running the 880-yard event
in one minute So 1-5 seconds. Previ-
ously he had starred for Vallejo in
dual meets.
Proud of his work, Boyden's fellow
students and Vallejo merchants sub
scribed funds with which to send him
to Chicago On his return he was
given reception at which he was
presented with the high school diplo-
ma which was presented to other
members of his class at commence
ment exercises held during his abb
sence.
Charles Goshen, California foot
ball player of decade ago, has been
coaching Boyden and hopes that some
day the lad will carry the Blue and
Gold colors to victory in big college
meets.

LAND PLASTER AIDS
TAME GRASS CROPS
FARMERS DECLARE LII Is GREAT
BENEFIT TO ALFALFA AND
CLOVER FIELDS

That land plaster has revolution
lied alfalfa growing in this section is
the statement of number of farmers
who claim the best alfalfa crops they
have ever raised this year. H. L.
Coates, pioneer farmer, now retired,
who lives in Moscow but still retains
his farm on the Little Potlatch, eight
miles east of town, said today:
Il have the best crop Of alfalfa I
have ever raised. The general aver
age height is above my waist, while
many stalks are more than four feet
high. l have 18 acres that promises
the biggest yield l have ever harvest
ed. | covered the field with land
plaster and it has surely made won
derful difference in the crop"
B. p Luvaas, who has a 240 acre
farm five miles northeast of Moscow
and has the Sletto farm of 140 acres
adjoining it leased, said: ST have a
fine crop of alfalfa on both places.
Last year the alfalfa on the Sletto
place was so poor that we could hard
ly tell where the mower had gone
over it. We used land plaster and it
is more than waist high this year.
On my own place I used land plaster
last year and the crop last year was
more than double what it had pre-
viously been, and this year it is equal
ly good, showing that the plaster
makes more than one crop. If scient
lists would discover something that
would help wheat, corn and other
crops like this discovery helps alfal-
ia, clover and other grass crops, 1t
would mean much to the farmers of
the United States"
Land plaster is comparatively re-
cent discovery, but has proved very
successful for grass crops and espec-
tally for alfalfa, wherever used. It
has the same effect on grasses that
inoculation with the culture discov-
cred and made by the University Of
Idaho, has on peas and other leg
umes. 1t is being used extensively in
this section where alfalfa growing
has shown a marked increase in the
past three years.

P|CR|C ACID FOR
|DAH0's FARMERS
STATE TO HAVE Is CARLOADS
OF DEADLY EXPLOSIVE FOR
CLEARING LANDS.

Fifteen carloads of picric acid
amounting to 300 tons, will be requi-
sitioned from the government by
Idaho farmers for land clearing, &C.
.cording to an estimate made today by
e. ]. Iddings, dean of the agricultural
college of the university.
Bonner county will need 100 tons
says an estimate sent in by County
Agent P. I. Fortner, and Kootenai
county will need so tons. Estimates
of needs of approximately 200 tons al
ready are at hand.
Some weeks ago, according to Dean
1ddings, the college of agriculture OBJ
tanned information that large quanti-
ties of this acid would be available
from the government. A survey was
instituted Immediately through the
county agents in counties concerned
and several reports already are at
hand.
This acid will be delivered in cart
ridge form. The estimated cost of
putting it in cartridge form and ship
ping it to Idaho in carload lots is
from nine to 10 cents a pound.
In the most of the counties, accord
ing to Dean Iddings, arrangements
are being made with the banks to
guarantee the cartridging, transpor-
tation and distribution costs, so that
the acid may be distributed in small
quantities to meet the needs of in
dividual farmers. ~
"Tests have been made by the bu-
reau of public roads of the United
States department of agriculture" !"
said Dean Iddings, "and it has been
found that, when placed in cartridge
form similar to stick dynamite, this
acid is even more effective than the
grade of dynamite ordinarily used for
land clearing. It is used in the same
way as dynamite.
"Requisitions are being assembled at
the agricultural college and the order
will be forwarded in the form of
general requisition for all sections of
the state that desire to clear land in
this way"

cyclonic in nature, uprootlng huge
trees which were planted when Walla
Walla was a village. More trees went
down in this storm than in any IN the
recollection of pioneers. In many in
stances trees fell entirely across
streets, blocking traffic and carrying
down electric light and telephone
wires. Other trees fell on houses and
yards, narrowly missing people. but
no one was injured. One woman drove
her automobile under tree for shell
ter then felt a premonition and jump
ed out of the car with her small baby.
A minute later a large tree branch
crashed through the top of the auto
mobile and struck ON the seat she had
just left. Certain sections of the city
practically escaped wind damage but
in the east Main street district, on
Washington street and others, tree
after tree went down.
Reports coming to the city show
that heavy damage has been done to
fruit trees in the valley. On some
trees practically all the fruit was
shaken off.
Heavy Blow at Dayton
Dayton, Washington-One of the
hardest windstorms in the history
of Dayton was experienced here yes
terday afternoon beginning at about
$3.50 o'clock. Tops were blown off
automobiles, trees were uprooted and
havoc was wrought with telephone
and electric wires, many poles being
blown over and wires tangled. No
serious damage was done, however,
and light and phone service was re-
sumed this evening.
