Wide PUBLICITY
NATIONAL JOURNALS COMMENT
ON WINNINGS OF AG. COLLEGE
AT PORTLAND STOCK SHOW

Various agricultural and livestock
Journals from all parts of the coun-
try, received at the office of the col
1ege Of agriculture at the University
of Idaho since the Portland Inter
national Livestock show, have carried
the list of awards, together with
highly complimentary reference to
the beef and dairy cattle and sheep
exhibit of the college of agriculture.
The publicity given the Idaho insti-
tuition is nation wide, since in addi-
ton to appearing in such western
journals as the Idaho Farmer, the
Western Breeders Journal, the West
ern Farmer and others, it appears in
such papers as the Breeders Ga
zette of Chicago, the ShOrthOrn
World, Of Chicago, the American
Hereford Journal of Kansas City and
other papers of nationwide circula
tiOn.
One of the most complimentary
references is found in recent issue
of the Hereford Journal which, after
referring in a favorable way to the
winning by the university Hereford
entries at Portland of the first and
junior champion on Hereford bull
calf, and first, fourth and fifth ono
senior heifer calf, had the following
to say of the University Of Idaho col
lege's entry Of four calves for the
highly coveted honor Of first for get
of sire, in competition with some of
the leading large Hereford herds of
the west:
"There were eleven entries in the
get-of-sire class, the University of
Idaho winning with four sons and
daughters of Hopeful Prince I'd, a
Prime Lad bull, which, it is to be
regretted, lost his life in a recent
fire at the university. These four
calves were selected from a group of
about nine head sired by this bull
and were unusually even and showed |
extra good conformation and char
acter. They won rather easily over |
the much older entries Of Thiessen
and Methow Valley. Herdsman Fred |
Bayliss of the university had his
calves In fine bloom and condition"
Another reference to the University
of Idaho college Of agriculture Here
fords from the American Hereford
Journal, which is the breed paper of
the Herefords, is as follows:
There were IA junior bull calves
shown, the University of Idaho win
ming with it's Militant Lad, the calf |,
that was afterwards junior champion
OF the show, thick, deep, good
boned calf, with lots of character
and substance, which should make
him a strong contender for future
honors, and bull that will prob
ably be always troublesome when
shown.o

That's the Time Most of the Cars

Chicago, ILL.,, March 15.-TwO-
thirds Of the automobiles stolen here
are taken between 1880 and mid
night, far the greatest number at 10
O'Clock while their owners are at

Other observations of the commit

A thief has been known to walk
into large public garage at night
and cover the watchman and other
employees with gun while he drove
away with the car Of his choice. The
thief usually prefers to hold up
man about to put his automobile in
a garage, rather than to break into a
garage after the car Is locked up.
BY far the greater number Of stOl-

cause of the intrinsic value, but to be
used in various form Of lawbreak-

FIRST TRIAL ON PACT
Democrats Determined to Defeat
Peace Plan
Associated Pressl

Washington, March 15.-Ultimate
ratification of the four-power pact
an dthe other treaties growing out Of
the Washington conference was fore
cast by two tests of strength OF
treaty sentiment in that body late
yeserday.
While the Robinson amendment to
the pact was only defeated by a Vote
of 55 to 80, several short of the two
thirds necessary to obtain final rati-
fication, the lineup Of absentees and
the announced intention of several
Democrats who voted for the amend
ment to support the treaty on it's
final test, gave advocates Of the pact
an apparent margin Of three votes.
Obviously such close call will
keep treaty supporters in suspense
until the debate is over and the final
showdown had. Capper and Curtis
voted against the amendment.

LAND VALUES ARE DOWN
And Now Farm Bureau Wants Tax
able Value Lowered

Land values In Kansas have de-
creased 34.2 per cent during the last
year. according to a survey made by
the Kansas State Farm Bureau. The
decrease runs from 1S per cent in
Greenwood county to so per cent In
several counties.
Letters were received from eigh-
teen farm bureau. counties scattered
over the state. Most Of the figures
were on bankrupt sales Of land, since
It is said, very little land has been
sold except to satisfy mortgages
against it.
A committee appointed by. the
state farm bureau is making an ef-
fort to get the taxable valuation of
land lowered. The committee con-
tends that it is unfair to assess land
at the value at which it was assessed
last year since the decline in farm
products has reduced land values.
