Over Turkey Red.

Reports of Idaho wheat growers
compare with reports received from
Kansas and Nebraska growers regard
ing Kanred wheat. Kanred is a hard
red winter wheat Over 300 letters OF
inquiry were sent to farmers and coun-
ty agents in Kansas and Nebraska. The
comments were all favorable. State
ments are as follows: "Kanred pro-
duces from two to 13 bushels more D r
acre than Turkey Red. 1t is more re-
sistant to rust and smut, does NOT
lodge as readily and ripens earlier than
does Turkey Red.
This wheat was developed by the
Kansas experiment station and is now
being grown extensively in some sec
tions Of Idaho. Farmers in different
sections purchased small lots last fall.
The Idaho Pure Seed company made
large shipment last season. This
large shipment was disseminated
throughout northern Idaho The crops
have now been harvested and the
' tlhS prove satisfactory.
J. II. Reardon, county agricultural
agent of Kootenai county, reports that
''kanred outyields all other arieties
of wheat ia thisv section 10 bushels to
the acre" Certified Kanred seed wheat
IS now available. 1t can be secured
through the farm bureaus of Kootenai.

These reports come from northern
and eastern Idaho and | presume sim
liar comments could he obtained from
more growers and what fields I hav,
seen bear out these statements" say,
t. b. Allison, acting field agronomis
and safe seed commissioner.
What the grower is after is large,

not make a mistake by purchasing Ger

seventy-ffth anniversary of the insti-
tuition. Vice-president Calvin Cool
idge and other officials of the nation
and state are expected to lend a new
color to the local celebration when they
will speak and be entertained Wednes-
day. The exhibits will be as numerous
and Of the same high quality that has
made this county one of the most Ia
nous in all New England. The horse
racing and vaudeville of the midway
will surpass the entertainments OF 9th
er years in quality and quantity. AL
in all, there is unusually good reason
for the largest crowd ever. We boom
the district when we boom the County
Fair.

Hard 70 Build Up

The New York Tribune's staff writ
er's threat of political death for the Re
publican party, unless the present ad-
ministration materially effect the re-
duction of national taxes, need not be
taken too seriously by the student OF
political affairs The general public
realizes that the extravaganza OF the
Wilson administration is bearing fruit
in the present economic upheaval and
will necessitate decades of reconstruc-
tive work before release from the heavy
burdens can be effected
The platform of the Republican par
tv drafted in 1920 was perfectly can
did with the voter 1t promised nc
immediate reduction in taxes for the
reason that the previous administra-
ton had been so wasteful that imme-
date relief might be beyond expecta-
ton. 1t is harder to build up than
tear down The 1921 Congress cannot
be blamed justly for the errors OF the
Democratic administration.
Even if the new administration had
disappointed the hopes Of its support
ers by failure to reduce the taxpayer,
burden, a change to the wastelulnes9
of a Democratic regime would not
remedy the situation We must have
patience. An adjustment will be made
as soon as possible There is no doubt
but that we can confidently expect a
Republican Congress to repeat in 1921
the healing that it had so successfully
brought about when previously called
upon to restore the country to health
after a prostration under the nefil-
cheney OF Democracy.

Political Candidates in Addison
County

And now comes the political ad-
vocates and give Addison County
credit for having three prominent citi-
zens who are eligible and qualified for
the position Of Governor Of Vermont
il IS a great honor for the county to
receive such liberal recognition Of its
prominent citizens. There may be 9th
er citizens of this county who possess
the capabilities necessary to be classed
as candidates for the most important
Office in the state, but the three who
have gained the distinction and have
been classed as possible candidates for
the honors of 1922 are Lieut.. Governor
Abram NJ. Foote, Of Cornwall, Hon.
Iohn E. Weeks, Director Of State In
stitutions, and Senator Willis N Cady,
County Road Commissioner These
gentlemen are all worthy and well
qualified for the position, and having
been pronounced fitted for the Office
by the public press, it remains for the
voters of Addison County to make their
selection, and make it early.
This county has grand opportunity
10 nominate and elect one Of her lead
ing citizens to the Governorship, but
only one at a time.

rhompson's Island and the Pilgrims

Exactly 800 years ago this summer
a party of Pilgrims, headed by Cap
tain Miles Standish, landed on one OF
the larger islands in Boston Harbor.
William Trevore, one OF the party,
took possession Of the island in the
name of David Thompson, who ar
rived in 1926 to claim the island and to
build upon it the first house built in
Boston Harbor Shortly afterwards,
however, he died, leaving a wife and
infant son, who continued to reside
there until Mrs. Thompson's second
marriage. when she went to live at
Winnisiment, now Chelsea. In 1851,
the island. then uninhabited, was claim
ed by the Massachusetts Bay Colony,
together with the other islands in the
bay. Three years later Thompson's
Island was given to the inhabitants oil
Dorchester for the support OF Tree
school, and for the next 200 years was
directly or indirectly under the juris-
diction of Dorchester. In 1888 the own
ership of Thompson's Island was trans
ferred TO the prOprietors OF the then
newly incorporated Farm School So
ciety. later called The Farm and
Trades School, which has occupied the
entire island for more than a century
Today the students at The Farm
and Trades School still learn by do
ing" in fact; the boys attend school
half a day and are employed at indus
trial work the other half. They are
taught mechanical drawing, cabinet
work, wood turning carpentry, black
smithing, machine work in metal, print
ing, painting. cobbling, office work!
farming. the handling OF boats and
household duties. The practical APP
plication of all these is a most i'm
portant phase in the instruction at
this School. The Farm and Trades
School is only partly self-sustaininG
and depends for its existence on the
generosity of the charitably inclined
For more than a century it has been
thus supported and it has long since
proved its right to be recognized as
one of New England's worth while
charities.

Theory and Practice

Although an aerial transportation
company in recently conducted tests
has discovered that passengers could
be carried in the air for as little as
TWO and one half cents mile, the
many who are anxiously awaiting the
opportunity to take their first ride in
an airplane next week at the fair, need
not take any account of these tests.
Two and three dollars per minute will
probably be the tax eXacted by the
pilots. They will get it too undoubt-

Now is the Time

The ex-service men who are entitled
to compensation from the government
for illness or injuries resulting from
their service during the World War are
urged to avail themselves of the OPP
portunity during the Fair week, Fri
day and Saturday, to present their
claims to the federal commission that
is engaged in a campaign to inVestl-
gate the cases of Vermont soldier dis
abilities. The Sweet legislation recent
" enacted has cut out the red tape,
previously the bane OF the seeker OF
Justice from Uncle Sam for services
rendered. and has shortened the way
to fair consideration of the claims OF
the veterans. The soldier owes it to
himself to come forward at this OPP
perfume time to present his claims for
either compensation or vocational train
ing. He owes it to the government
also to do so Immediately, as delay
will mean future regrets and incon-
veniences on both sides. The Ameri-
can Legion is assisting the federal off
Gals in the presentation OF the claims
and will further as much as possible
every rightful demand for money or
education.
