Successful Gardeners


 Did you ever notice how successful the average foreigner is in the man agement of a garden? Some of our quently attribute it to some myster- ious or secret gift. The secret, if any, is fertilization, constant atten- ton with thorough cultivation coupled with the fact that you never see them take on more than they can handle. The natives eye is always bigger than his resources, conse- quently he perists in over-cropping to the extent that his resulting yields are far below his foreign neighbor. Successive planting is what counts with the foreigner. As fast as one crop is taken off another in some cases is already coming along on the same land, The scarcity of land in their native country has in- stilled into them ideas of intense farming and conservation, which should serve as a wholesome lesson cropping is the greatest enemy to successful farming.
 Broom Corn
 This is most profitable money crop but sadly overlooked by our southern farmers. There are many broom factories in the south, who must often ship in their straw sup ply from the middle or northern states.
 It is true that but few southern farmers possess the naturally fertile

The University of Idaho student
population of Moscow will be cut in

Students from all sections of the
state left on all outgoing trains today
with the largest departing delegation
of $50 leaving tonight at midnight on
the "U. of l. Christmas Special for

no students will return to their
no students will retur nto their
homes. Most of these students left
on the afternoon Northern Pacific
train or the noon and afternoon In
land Empire trains. The students
who are remaining on the campus for
the holidays are principally from
southern Idaho.
The university undergraduates are
saving their money to a large extent
and the general expression of opin-
ion has been to "stay on the campus
if you can't afford the trip home" 1t
is believed that approximately one
third of the students will be in Mos
COW for the vacation period.
StudiOus Intentions Announced
Extensive plans are being made by
the male undergraduates and the CO.
eds for sufficient entertainment un-
til the opening of classes. The more
StudiOuS even have intentions of
studying somewhat during the vaca-
ton while some of the more studious,
more ambitious, and best intentioned
of the university population are actu-
ally carrying their books home.
An all-college dance will be given
in the university gymnasium from to
IL O'Clock tonight Music will be fur
nished by quintet of the best musi-
clans on the campus. The plans call
for an informal and complete good
time at the dance.

SANITY TEST FOR
AUTOMOBILE SPEEDERS

Detroit, Mich.-Twenty- one persons
charged with driving their automo-
biles faster than the law allows, and
two others charged with driving
through safety zones, were examined
by Dr.. A. l.. Jacoby, city psychiatrist,
today to determine their sanity The
examinations were ordered by Judge
Charles l.. Bartlett in recorders court
and sentences were withheld until the
court had received the psychiatrist's
report.
Three of those examined were pro-
nounced inferior in intelligence by
DR.. Jacoby. They were ordered to
return in one week for further exam
nation. According to the physicians
report, one man charged with having
driven his car 80 miles an hour, was
found inferior in intelligence, hard of
hearing and possessed of poor eye
sight. Another alleged speeder was
unable to read English and told DR..
Jacoby he could not differentiate be-
tween the "go" and stop" signals
at street intersections.

MELTING SNOW SOAKING
PALOUSE WHEAT FIELDS

Palouse country farmers are IN
hearty accord with the weather mans
work lust now, as is the public gener-
ally. With the period of extreme cold
mast. this district is enjoying balmy
DAYS, just warm enough for the snow
to melt gradually, and allowing the
water to soak into the soil, which
was practically dry when the snow
fell. While the weather, for a period
of more than week, was extremely
cold. the grain was well protected
and the melting snow will afford
good quantity of much needed mois-
ture
The Palouse country experienced an
extremely dry fall it being very sell
dom that the beginning of winter finds
SO little moisture in the ground. With
the early heavy snow fall soaking
into the ground, and with the prOba-
bility that there will be much more
moisture, in either rain or snow, be-
fore spring comes, the prospects are
excellent for next years crop. The
short crop of last season may be Gre
dited largely to lack of moisture,
coupled with the fact that the snow
lay on the wheat too long, there be-
ing no break up from the time the
first snow fell early in the winter,
The snow drifts in the roads lead
ing into Moscow have for the most
part been opened up, and with the
snow packing readily, people are able
to get to and from town.
