most every pest to which agricultural
crops fevery kind are subject. There
is the overy- growing demand that the
United States government shall sup
ply not only supervision but direct
assistance in controlling almost every
form of human disease. The United
States government now controls the
enforcement Of the liquor laws which
was formerly left to the states and
municipalities. Through the Federal
Trade Commission the government is
attempting to diminish fraud. The
government has Joined with the states
in a cooperative system Of highway
improvement. It has also Joined with
the states in q cooperative plan for
proper medical attention in maternity
cases. 1t is proposed that the govern
ment shall erect a public building In
every city or town having q first, sec
ond or third class postoffice. It is pro-
posed that the government shall ex-
tend its work in the construction of
internal canals; that the government
shall undertake the protection OF the
banks Of the Mississippi; that the
government shall expend more mil
lions on Muscle Shoals.
These are only few OF the pro-
jects which call for new rlarger
sums from the Federal treasury, and
many CT them have merit But they in
dicate the reason why government ex-
penditures continue to grow.

HUNTERS SHOULD CONSULT
GAME LAWS FOR 1922.

All persons contemplating hunting
in any state or territory in the United
States or in Canada are advised by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture to obtain from the state game
commissioner of that state or terri
tory tho full text Of its game laws. A
summary of the provisions OF federal,
state, and provincial statutes, and
list of officials from whom copies Of
state game laws may be obtained, is
contained in Farmers Bulletin 1888,
Game Laws 1922, by George A. Lawyer,
chief United States game warden, and
Frank L. Earnshaw. The bulletin is
available free upon application to the
United States Department of Agricul-

Urgency cut on Potatoes.

Notice that the Union Pacific Rail-
road company had applied to the in
terstate commerce commission for an
emergency rate on potatoes, asking a
reduction of 20 cents per hundred on
freight tariffs from the time the rate
is granted until September 80, was
received here Wednesday afternoon.
Following closely on the heels Of in
formation from H. M. Adams, vice.
president of the company, that the
requested emergency rate was under
consideration, the announcement Gre
ated considerable stir locally and is
regarded now as saving possibility
in a situation that is proving daily
more critical.
Potato shipments, as growers become
discouraged from returns received, are
daily falling off. Monday but 70 cars
left the Nampa yards. And this to-
i tai represents all shipments from south
