AMERICAN MARINE
DECLARED THE ISSUE
CHAIRMAN BENSON OF SHIP
PING BOARD SAYS QUESTION 4
is WHETHER 1T SHALL LIVE

NEW YORK, May 19-(By A. P.)
whether the arbitrary exercise of
! power under leaders" is to be per-
mitted to default the purpose of the
4 American people to maintain mer-
chant marine under their own flag is
4 the fundamental issue in the present
controversy over reduction of ma
rine wages. Chairman Benson of the
shipping board declared in an address
today before the National Associa-
ton of manufacturers.
Asserting that the union heads had
shown an "uncompromising attitude"
on the question of the Is per cent re-
duction, and while presenting many
irrelevant questions" had refused
even to discuss the necessary wage
reduction" Chairman Benson reiter-
the wage cut as mot only justified
but Imperative.
my appeal directly to the person
mel of the merchant marine has met
with very gratifying response" he
said. "I have stated publicly and
again reaffirm the intention of the
shipping board to give fullest pro-
tecion, both now and after the settle
ment of the controversy, to all who
come to it's aid.
Reports from all Of our outlying
districts continue to be encouraging
The movement Of ships is steadily
going on A remarkable endorse
ment of the position of the shipping
board has come through the reduc-
ton in marine wages which has just
taken place in Great Britain, the
British scale being reduced about
$12.15. a month. AS nearly as can be
estimated, the average reduction ap-
proximates the Is per cent reduction
proposed here"
When the present labor trouble
threatened serious tie-up of, Ameri-
can shipping, Chairman Benson said,
the shipping board was faced with the
question of whether it should "stop
its advertising or go ahead full force.
1t unhesitatingly chose the latter
course" he said The results Of the
continued campaign of advertising, |
the chairman added, had borne out
that judgment.
"The new reduced wage scale is in
effect" the chairman said, in con-
"and the shipping board will
continue to make use of all its re-
sources to keep it's ships moving and
prevent the success of this effort to
defeat the permanent reestablishment |
Of the American merchant marine"

IDAHO CROP OUTLOOK
BEST IN MANY YEARS
LESS THAN TWO PER CENT OF
FALL WHEAT WINTER KILLED
OTHER CROPS GOOD.

Boise-Winter wheat promises a
crop of 8,983,000 bushels this year.
The forecast is based on a May 1st
condition of 81 per cent of normal.
which is equivalent to a yield of 25
! bushels per acre. A year ago the
condition was only 80 per cent, and
the crop that year amounted to S,000,-
900 bushels.
Only per cent of the wheat sown
last fall was winter killed. meaning
that less than 5000 acres will be re-
seeded this spring or fallowed, and
that $40, ,440 acres remain to be har-
vested. A year ago, the abandonment
amounted to 10 per cent, while the
average for the past 5 years is per
cent. Northeastern counties suffered
the most winter damage, it varying
from 3 per cent in Madison County to
8 per cent in Fremont County. How
ever, in northern and southeastern
counties, which have II per cent of
the states winter wheat acreage, the
abandonment was only 1 per cent and
a per cent respectively.
All reports indicate very good pres
poets. While top growth has been
retarded due to cold weather up to
the first week in May, still root de-
velopment has been highly satisfac-
tory. The fields have a thrifty ap-
pearance and lost time will be made
up with the advent of warm weather.
Rye lost per cent of the acreage
seeded last fall due to winter killing,
and there are now left some 16,400
acres for harvest. A condition of 96
per cent forecasts production of
267 600 bushels. A year ago the con-
dition was SO per cent on $4,000 acres,
and crop of $4,000 bushels was
harvested.
The tame hay acreage has been re-
duced per cent from last years
acreage, but wild hay acreage re-
mains the same, so that there remain
for harvest ], $4,000 acres, compared
with 1,175,000 acres in 1920. A con-
dition of SO per cent normal indicates
a production of 100000 tons. This
with 2,985,000 tons harvest
ed last-year. 1t was expected that
larger decrease in acreage would be
shown, but it should be remembered
Guilty in financing their labor require
ments and that hay crops can be
handled with less expense than any of
the major crops.
Stocks on hand from last years
crop total $4,000 tons, or 18 per cent
of the 1920 crop. On May 1, 1920
the carryover was $4,000 tons; 1919,
5000 tons; 1918, 257,000 tons.
Because of the mild open winter
and abundance of feed the mortality
of live stock for the year ending May
1st was considerably lower than the
average The loss per thous-
and head, all ages, as estimated May
1st is as follows:
Horses and mules from disease, IL;
cattle from disease, 10; cattle from
exposure, 9; swine from disease, IL;
sheep from disease, Is; sheep from
exposure, 13; lambs from both disease
and exposure, so.
Outlook of United States
Winter wheat: Production, $685.
,87 900 bushels from 38,721 900 acres.
Production last year was SIT 7,763, 900
bushels from 37,773,000 acres.
Rye: May 1st estimate, 72,007,000
bushels. 1920 production, 69,318,000
bushels.
Hay-Forecast for 1921, ,107 7,784, 900

CIRCUS FAT LADY PAYS
TRIPLE TAXI FARE

Curses! Jolly Rap; the Fat Lady
with The Howe Circus is busy with
the pencil; ditto the circus auditor
and book-keeper for each is try
to fathom a problem regarding
taxi fare on fat woman. Yes
terday, the circus played in Lewis
ton and the show grounds were To-
Gated on top Of the big hill. Jolly
Ray had to manipulate the hill,
which was steep. She called a taxi
and the bill was steep. The taxi
was "Lizzie"and Jolly Ray could
not manipulate the door. Exit the
sdriver who returned with truck
which transported the Fat Lady up
the hill and the bill was Seventy
five Cents. The same truck was
on the job last night to return the
Portly One to the circus cars. This
time the driver did not use gaso-
line but coasted down the hill and
the bill was a quarter.
Mathematicians are requested to
solve this problem so that the cir
Gus books may be properly bal
anced.

and praise for The Howe Circus have
nearly three hundred matched dapple
gray horses and generous sprink-

looked as though Horse Fair was
being staged along Main Street. 1t

hundreds; which walked in the pro-
cession with the majestic stride of
the circus equine, did the hearts of
the horse-lover good.
Then Came The Circus

the most diversified performance of
both circus and trained wild animal
stunts ever seen in Moscow There
were aerial, ground, leaping, tumb-
ling, trapeze, flying-ladder and iron |

sympathetic conglomeration with
camels, lions, tigers, pu-
